Meant £100 between us Children arrangement would be much more difficult for extra day - not looked back on what's on yet - was 2 am the other night when I looked - will look at again tho... What do you think kathymel ? Will pm u my mobile Is massive leap from not even making an evening meet up in London to this ! Am writing with smiling smilies, but actually v anxious.... But fed up with feeling anxious about things other people don't, so that's why I decided to take the plunge - really do want to meet you and if anyone's going be accepting its you lot Lol re the driving questions . I think I'm an ok driver and not had any major accidents... Just drove us all to paris and back few weeks ago and everyone ( incl car) in one piece . Actually I'm probably a safer driver now than I've ever been in my life - still not informed the dvla or insurance company (is on my to do list) so terrified gonna get pulled over for doing 1 mile an hour over the limit, which'll mean signing forms to say yr allowed to drive and don't have any notifiable dvla things If anything I might piss you off being too careful School coming round in 30 mins .

Is anyone else thinking of going ? This is a nudge to say 'go on, come' to anyone wavering

It seems like too good an opportunity to pass up, despite it being on the other side of the planet and costing loads...

Right. Going to try to answer questions without going back and reading everything again. There is no problem with another person staying, Michael. My friend and all her kids will be away, so we have the house to ourselves. There's 5 beds. I am going to be there for all 3 days. It's quite close for me and I don't have childcare to worry about and have got the time off work. My friend is particularly fond of a good port. Did I miss anything? I'll get the address details and message everyone.

the only thing I can see that would like to do on the first day is the play dhd (if I rem that right ) but it says only 30 people will be accepted so dunno if theres any places left on it. could do the afternoon oh have already forgot the time. if you havn't looked you may like sound of that jj and also the magic 123 parenting - what do you think can you make it? think they both in aft so could drive down in morn. everything starts the next day at 9 so we would have to leave really early in morn and i'd just be fucked for the day - I dunno - talk to me people are you signed up for the playdhd thing kath - Michael ?

Signing up for anything would take far more organisation than I possess, Janev, though I did think about it for a few milliseconds.
Mind you, if we assume most people going are ADHD, there's probably a few places left!

Hello, I'm back.... Have been on a mad work frenzy - was overloaded with urgent stuff so, after school came round yesterday, I started working and ended up sitting there not stopping til an hour or so ago Got loads done and feel a bit more organised with my work, but head is proper done in now. Plus son updated ipad to new operating system and everything's different and I can't cope.. Anyway, also could cope with trying to respond to 2 people in same message (wouldn't let me do either) - so 1) have seen directions 2) am just about to pm you my mobile no 3) re Thursday too - half took in what jan was saying, still not looked at site or spoken to ex and dad re childcare. Can't take anything in at moment but will have clearer head tomorrow 4) ..... ???there was a 4 but I've lost my thread now.... Right, gonna pm number before I forget - oh and noted the port - I loooove port . Trouble is, if sort anything out before 5 mins before due to leave her house, it's gonna get drunk / eaten and replaced several times over . Maybe I should bring ASD son and lockable box Right, pm now...

Aside from being scared / anxious, I'm really excited to meet you and put faces to names . Tho I'm the one who can't follow films cos all faces merge into one and I forget who's who - so won't remember anyone soon as I turn my head away again

Well done for getting through the inspection and getting some work done, too. Did they tell you there and then if you'd passed? I'll pm my phone no. to all, too. I figure if I also buy something to drink that I like better, the port will still be there when I leave.

I can't promise anything but I can ask my friend if she minds if 7 people stay. All the beds have gone though, so you'd need an airbed if she's OK with it.

Just Googled the route into Liverpool. The green blob is the cheapest car park (Mount Pleasant, £4 a day) and the red blob is the hotel. The car park is open until 8pm so we'll have to move the car/s if we want to stay for the evening entertainment. However, the on-street parking is free from 6pm (no idea how easy it is to park after 6pm, though). The route from West Kirby to Wallasey Tunnel aka 'Kingsway' (Not Birkinhead Tunnel. I can't tell you how often I've got it wrong.) is easy but I dislike emerging into Liverpool as I always end up lost. I am happy to drive though and I'm going to do a virtual drive-through on Google so I have a good idea where I'm going for a change. I would appreciate it if someone else would do the same, so it's not just my brain we're relying on. On the other hand, I can only take 5 people. Does anyone have a people carrier?

Oh, and there is a £1.60 toll each way through the tunnel.

If I could stay in one place with 6 others and still make the 9am deadline then a miracle drug has been invented!!! Thank you kathymel for the very kind offer and I so wish I could take it up!

you could pop in for a cuppa - and we can arrange a meet point at the conference - if you not too embarassed to be seen out with us i'l leave that to one of the other 3 to arrange - directions not being one of my strong points (so proud of my link ability now maybe you were right supine - i'm gonna get all this tech stuff eventually )

Gremico, I know what you mean about getting organised in a house full of people. There's only one bathroom, for a start. I'll pm you my phone no. so we can arrange to hook up at the conference. Jan, there's 5 beds in 4 rooms. A single and a double in the attic room, two double rooms and a single. Your daughter and boyfriend can have one of the doubles. Two of us girls can share the attic and the other 2 can fight over the other double and single.

Would anyone mind if I have the single room? This is something that's been really making me anxious cos of my personal space issues....
Re the driving - I'll have a 7 seater. I can't look through the drive thing - I won't take it in, but I'll have a sat nav so won't get lost. The hotel website says there's an ncp opposite - I was hoping to park in there (especially first day).
I can't remember what else has been mentioned now.... Xxx
