well ladies, i am gutted, i have just checked train prices and unfortunately i can not justify £60 even for piggy peeps, so on this occasion i will have to bow out gracefully 8... i have to say i am gutted

have a fun time drool
 
aww shame but totally understandable, i couldn't spend that either, maybe next time if we try and plan advance you might be able to save some money if you book extra early? just a thought, I'm no train expert lol :))
 
I'm pretty sure if you book in advance you can get cheaper so i will defo look out for the thread next time...just need to find a friend to come with now he he he
 
I'm working this weekend as a colleague has put her notice in so am covering :(
Would be great to meet all of you guys, be like a Piggy Rally, should have T-shirts printed with logos on the front and our Forum names on the back :x
 
I'm afraid I have to retract my earlier response too :(

I've been summonsed to Essex to coo over a friends small child and bump.... OH doesn't feel piggies are good enough excuse to get out of it. On the other hand could take piggies to meet said small child....
 
I am not going to be able to make it. Son phoned a few days ago could I have the grand children on Saturday, I explained I was going to Birmingham but would get back to him. After talking it over with husband I am going to have the kids. Son and wife are split up and we hardly ever see the children, hopefully you will meet up again soon and will put it in my diary in big red letters! :(
 
The car is now in for it's new cam chain so Saturday is looking good. Are you still wanting a lift Wiebke and Debbie. Is there someone at Derby? I could pick you up at the M1 junction. Debbie if you keep Wiebke busy in the kitchen, I will give the wheeking alarm some parsley and proceed to fill my coat of many pockets, Wiebke won't notice a few more inches on my girth.

I'm not sure about Debbie, but I'm at home and can have a coffee ready for you! If you'd please give me a rough time.

Be warned, Tegan has a MEAN wheek! I only need to rustle a bag before you leave the door and you get the whole choir!

Looking forward to meeting you all again, and some new faces too :-) never can have too many piggy friends
 
Head count?
I'll be early as the trains are rubbish, be there about 1.40pm if anyone's about?
 
Be there for just before 2pm I reckon!
 
I'm really sorry to pull out at the last minute, but after hearing the weather reports I am going to need to do my big clean out tomorrow, plus go to the farm shop to get hay etc. I was intending to do all of this on Sunday but if we do get snow I won't be able to, and I am going to need plenty of hay for my shed piggies and buns. I am going through a bale of hay a week at the moment as I am using it in great quantity, for warmth and eating.

I wish I could get all this done today, but I am at work at nursery most of the day and then have vet appointment.

Sorry guys!:(
 
On the plus side... :)
I've managed to move round some of my plans and put the three bucks being neutered to Monday... And I managed to get 4 hours sleep last night for the first time in ages...! Was going to post last night but though I'd see how this morning went... :))
So I'm going to make it guys... :))
Looking forward to it...

Sorry to hear that some of you can't make it. We'll definately do another one soon! Just checked weather and snow from 3pm apparently... Hoping they've got it wrong - they often do with the sunshine!

Really looking forward to seeing all that can make it.
 
If it starts snowing will I still be able to get a train home? I haven't any one around who would be able to drive over you see..

I will drive you home... :)
I'm driving down...
Infact I could pick you up if you wanted...

I'll see if I can come and say meet people as we're local. The weather forecast is saying that the snow won't come until later. :)

Phew! Ok that would be brill, I was gonna drive but I'm desperate for new brakes so am avoiding going too far with them. Is that ok? I dont want to put you out or anything :)
 
I am going but can't go until later on, got hair appointment in Solihull at 1pm for cut and colours so earliest I'll finish there is 3.30pm then got to get to station a mile away and get train then walk to the pub so I'm looking at getting to you guys sometime 4-4.30pm (nearer 4.30pm I'd say)

Going on past experiences the trains still run if it's snowing! It's the bus services that suffer more.

I shall be wrapped up in many layers and have my snow grips with me so will be fine. Any problems I'll text Sport Billy (will do that anyway to let you all know my arrival time)

Sorry to hear a few can't make it - hope to see you at the next one:)
 
Hope you all have a lovely meet up - Birmingham won't know what's hit them :(|) ;)
Mr. SB, are you taking your 'pink' piggy this time :x
