OK, Gazza, Rob and I part loaded one of the vans tonight. Don't know why but part way through it really seemed to hit home that this is it now!!  I thought I was excited before, now I just can't stop smiling and I'm climbing the walls.

At one point, we jested about just driving off there and then!  ;D  All three of us were up for it!!!  :)(not sure whether the missus might have noticed though! :()

Been to the Three Frogs for training tonight :) Not quite the same, but everything else is pretty much ready...(I wish...!!!)

Just got to drop my gear of round at ian's on friday for final packing and prep and its almost time

REALLY REALLY CAN'T WAIT

Me to,

Been to Boots to get the important bits and pieces, Resolve, wet ones etc etc

Sorted the tool kit, checked the A frame bushes, done the spanner check. oil changes etc, softened off the dampers and had a trial run with the daughters ideal space requirement. so far so good. ;D ;D ;D ;D  

Loaded the first of the vans last night whilst enjoying a couple of bottles of ice cold Stella.

Best singing voice now.........

when is it saturday????

The emails have been flying, back here at Fort Nobby.

I've counted 34 so far today, various banter threads and reminders to pack certain items.

The main topic seems to be the best route, to avoid Les Scuffeurs.

Very excited now!!!!!!!!!!

I think i must have remembered everything except the damn mickey mouse money.

I'll be winging my way to a postoffice asap.

Ooops, i need some euro breakdown assist. Any suggestions for a cheapy. I'm with autonational rescue in the UK but i don't think they extend your cover to europe, i'll phone and see.

I just phoned them and they do a separate euro cover for 18 pounds for the week?

Bargain if i need a tow back to the UK.

Good call Jay. I totally forgot about that sort of stuff. First thing tomorrow insurance and breakdown. f**k me I've got butterflies already and my IBS is starting to play up.  4.5 days to take off.

Going back to my 45' motor home, is it true according to the Dinky owners club, that it is worth more if I leave it in it's original box.
 ;)

Yes Brian, very true but (isn't there always a but?) you mustn't break the original sellotape seal to open it and have a look....

Oh bugger it, why not just use it and slip it back into t'box when you get back?

45' thats bigger than my midget innit? cor!

 ;)

re breakdown cover I found direct line were virtually half the price of anyone else, i suspect you get what you pay for, but the cover looked ok. Travel insurance is cheap at www.travelinsuranceweb.com if youre under 50.

am meeting my co-driver tonight for final meeting, very excited (about LM, not meeting my mate), little FM radios arrived today from Maplin (only ordered yesterday). Just need a trip to boots for rennie/painkillers etc and then get my euros and i'm done. I'm currently excited like a 5 y/o at christmas, and CA is only serving to wind me up more - Good work!

Graham I tend to finf Imodium comes in useful :o

As i wrote the list I thought that there'd be something else that was essential. I might go to Macro for that and get a wholesale pack or something...

I'm just soooooooo excited I don't have words to articulate it  ;D  Slight panic last night when I couldn't get into the garage where all the camping gear is stored.  Had to use a little (and I only have a little!) brute force to get in.   Fingers very crossed that it doesn't do the same thing on Friday when we need to pack!!!  

Only 48 hours till I start travelling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lucky sod.

5 more days of work to go...

Just 4 hours of work left ;D Well if you can call it that!!

1,5 day to go at work, friday-evening U2 concert in Brussels, saturday to Spa for the 6-hours Belcar-race and mondaynight we're on the road to LM.

Can't wait to get there ...
