We can't come down on Thursday, as Carol isn't allowed to take any holidays during school anymore.😱 It would be a different matter for the Conference, but her school always have teacher training that Friday anyway, so that isn't a problem.

I noticed that Carol and Fiona will be in a different age group. I don't think Fiona will be too happy about that. Reading last year's plans, Fiona would be learning more than Carol!!!! It would be nice if Fiona could go in the Teenage group, eventhough she'll only be one week short of 12. Or Carol go in Fiona's group, then she'd at least get to meet Joe Solo during a meeting. Either way, one of them will be unhappy🙄

no mum, i will not go in Fionas group!
and no she will not come in my group, k thanks bye!
 
I've just paid up my registration. I've got to reserve a room so all's well. I will be there. Damn whatever my uni requirements are should I be at uni at that time.

We've just booked our place as well, sooo excited!
Just need to book hotel now ........
 
Sue,

If you wanted to, as I see you're Brighton based, I could catch up with you prior to going. I've got the next few days off work if you wanted to see me. Drop me a PM or set up a thread.

LOL Carol!!
you'll be pleased to know, that you won't be seeing Fiona all day!!😛
 
We're off to Legoland on Wednesday and Thursday too🙂 And staying at the Beaumont
 
Hiya

This is great, didn't see this thread back in January. Brilliant you are all going. Tom, great that you managed it. Both you and Shiv and Sofaway were fantastic with the kids last year and it is reassuring for us mums to meet people your age who have got through the dreaded teen years (sorry to Carol hehehe) and into their 20's.

🙂
 
You don't pay for the room until you check out.

Really? Eep, think i need to get Si to check, i'm sure he paid for the room when he spoke to them...or maybe it was a deposit? Oh dear, need to check now 😱
 
No, you definitely don't pay anything for the room until you are there, no deposit or anything.

Becca, make sure you are booked on the right weekend and under FFL CWD as they have deals on the prices.

🙂
 
Hi Becca,

How much did you pay. We paid for the room on the last day I think.🙂Bev
 
I've just booked my room. ?85 per night which comes to ?170 in all. Cough up on departure.

When I booked mine, because of last year's faff with prices, the guy was like "that will be ONE HUNDRED and SEVENTY POUNDS in TOTAL for TWO NIGHTS. ONE HUNDRED and SEVENTY, at EIGHTY FIVE PER NIGHT" I was like cheers dude.
 
Just got the confirmation e-mail. If they pull any **** like last year they are in for one hell of a surprise when I pull out the booking letter they've just sent me.
 
I didn't get a confirmation email, I think I'll ring and ask for one. To be fair, they didn't really pull anything last year - it was misunderstanding and miscommunication, but I get your point. Never did get that bottle of wine, either.

Tom you might want to get rid of your swearing, before a mod does.
