miffy is there anywhere we can meet so we can travel together
like doncaster or somewhere.

[ajs]

How do you fill in the application form for your daughter to come with you?

amanda xx

morning amanda
i have just done it and at the end of the form it asked for the last 2 years of your date of birth it goes all the way down to 99 so i just filled in the other bits as truthfully as possible and then put her real year in

and i have just received the email with her registration confirmed so i should think it's ok

[miffy]

I'm going too - Mandy (ajs) says I can stay with her on Friday and then we're coming up on the train on Saturday

My tickets came this morning and I'm sooooooooo excited - hope there's loads of freebies

Also hope we can meet up there

miffy xx

[Trouble]

How do you fill in the application form for your daughter to come with you?

amanda xx

when you enter your details it should of come up with add a friend or collegue

just do the entry again but in your daughters name but hurry

[Trouble]

hubby and i are coming i didnt realise you can take kids they are going to my mothers (not happy)

my car has my name on so you will know im there
i will spend the day looking at peoples badges

we should wear a marie cure daffodil or something

[fionamal]

Got the tickets this morning. Kids are excited as they love going to things like this. I think we are going to make a weekend of it and take the caravan down to Manchester on the Friday and stay until the Sunday.

[Trouble]

nice one can we fit in:eek: :clapping: :clapping:

[fionamal]

Of course, just bring a sleeping bag. The more the merrier. Caravan sleeps 6 and the awning probably another 6

[Amaranth]

Finally managed to get on forum for a bit while computer is not playing up!!!
Our daughter is coming with us, she is 6. They don't encourage people to take kids as they are not covered on their insurance so if you take kids you do so at your own risk (their words). We're taking our little one as she felt left out when we went without her last year. Got to say, I only saw a few kids last year though.
I don't know at what age they say kids need a ticket, but when I asked about our daughter they said she didn't need one.

[ajs]

if anyone who is coming wants to meet up wear a daffodil next to your badge and or pm me your mob number and i'll text you when i get there.

our train gets in at 9.35 so we should be in the arena for 10.

i am so excited now.
just got to find some bloomin daffodils now
can we try to keep this near the top for this week please so everyone coming sees it

bumping it back up

[crazybones]

I am more of a roses kind of girl - choc ones obviously. ;) I am getting excited now. Can you get a blow up daffodil and hold it above your head. :D

[Minnie Minx]

I may not be going now as i didn't think about the amount of people that will be there. I don't want to suffer panic attacks throughout the day



xx

[ajs]

i have got a blow up tulip we can use is that anygood
i bought it in amsterdam then did a project on holland with the mindees years ago

shall i take it anyway

[crazybones]

:ROFL1: I was going to say something rude then. Yes you must take it now.:laughing:

[ajs]

i'm too innocent i cannot possibly imagine what you meant


there is a link to the forum car sticker somewhere lets all have on stuck to our bags or something so we can see if we recognise each other without actually saying anything.

i will spend so much time looking at people i will forget to get the freebies

[Minnie Minx]

Has anyone been to this before? i want to know if the freebies are worth putting myself through a bit of hell :D :D :D



xx

[ajs]

probably not but lunch with miffy and i certainly is and my middle child of course

[Minnie Minx]

hahahaha that's true but i am really worried that there will be too many people there and i'll be ill and won't be able to enjoy the day



xx

[ajs]

hahahaha that's true but i am really worried that there will be too many people there and i'll be ill and won't be able to enjoy the day



xx

it will be busy there's no doubt about it so don't come if you really don't think you can cope
don't forget i am equally as chlaustrophobic but will head away from the crowds and go the wrong way round if necessary.

i do psyche myself up so i can cope and as long as i don't think about it too much i am ok

[Minnie Minx]

i could probably cope with the claustrophobia but it's my agoraphobia that's worse. I can't even walk around a busy market without suffering from a panic attack. Think i'm going to have to miss it cause if i'm worrying now it will only be worse on the day :(



xx

[sarah707]

Sorry we won't be seeing you there T!

It will be very busy... and noisy too if I remember previous exhibitions I've been to over the years. :(

[Minnie Minx]

June's recommended Bach flower rescue so i may be coming after all lol.

The thought of freebies and meeting up with everyone is worth me trying it :clapping: :clapping:




xx

[ajs]

is that the same as a large gin that always settles my nerves

[miffy]

I hope you'll be OK to come Theresa - we can meet you when we get there if that would make you feel better although if mandy has been on the gin and has an inflatable tulip dangling above her head I might change my mind too!

miffy xx

[Minnie Minx]

yep i'm going to brave it, i'll buy some bach remedy and fingers crossed i'll be okay. I'd love it if you could meet me, hopefully our trains will arrive at the same time :)

[ajs]

thank you miffy i will not have been on the gin other than the night before we are meeting my vicar friend for the meal so you'd better be on your best behaviour.

[miffy]

[teacake2]

Hi, I have just realised I can't go on Saturday, could I be cheeky and ask if anyone can get me some of the freebies, I am very willing to pay for all the postage necessary to get them to me? I know it is a big question and I totally understand if none of you can feel that you can do it.:thank you: :thank you: :thank you:

[Donkey]

this looks good, but it doesn't say anything about children being allowed/not allowed??!?!

[sarah707]

this looks good, but it doesn't say anything about children being allowed/not allowed??!?!

i have no idea!

Is there a phone number on the information link? I wouldn't see it would be a problem tbh... it's about children after all! :D

[Amaranth]

They don't advertise about letting children go as they are not covered on their insurance. They say that if you have to you can take children but they don't promote it and it is at your own risk. I rang to ask them because I'm taking my 6 year old daughter.
