I'll pack my sleeping bag too then

I've heard the Edinburgh Dungeons are a good tour round. I think its where you go under Edinburgh into the old streets. quite spooky apparently

!
I'm sure we'll find something to do.

Paul, I'll be heading down the M90 from Perth to Edinburgh so won't be heading the Stirling way, probaby best to get lost on my own and not take a group of 480's with me.

I'll be ok for finding the way to asda i think, i'll print out my route before i come down. (no namby-pamby sat-nav for me!

)
Sal, i don't like beer either, more of a Vodka or Gin connoisseur myself

I don't mind bussing it if i really have to, i like those small busses with 4 seats, radio and your own personal steering wheel the best.

i've never had a deep fried mars bar before...
See you all @ 12 in ASDA then

I've got a good friend who help set up the Edinburgh Dungeon - it's good fun! - I'll have a wee chat with him and see if we can get a group discount

There's also all the evening/night walking ghostie ghoolie tours round the old town - some of which take you into all the old underground bits where the population were bricked up during plagues - nice way to treat your neighbours!. I'm claustrophobic - so I've always chickened out of those bits, but there are other tours that go round the old graveyards (.....um....er....graveyards at night....well ofcourse - I've only 'heard' about those

) and other spooky areas!

I'll pm you Roo with directions that include visible landmarks! rather than try and look at a map! or I can meet you near the bridge and you can follow me.......I do know where I'm going (.....for once!

)
Gin?- what an excellent choice!

hallo lovelies!
hope you're all packed for tomorrow!
I've got a bit more info about proposed activities over the weekend -
The Edinburgh Dungeon open 10am-7pm (Â£10.95 entry - but I've got some Â£2 off vouchers

) it's good fun - a bit like a gothic panto!

Deep Sea World open 10am - 6pm (Â£8.55 entry) swimmy stuff that lives under the sea.

Rohan is quite keen to go on a ghost tour on Saturday night, have a wee look at http://mercattours.com I've been on the Ghost Hunter Trail and missed out the underground bit (I'm VERY claustrophobic - I did try but had a major panic attack just inside the door and had to get out) most of these tours go underground at some point. If we fancy this I think we'll need to book in advance - but hopefully we can do that on the day - what do folks think? (tics are Â£7.50 tours leave at 7pm, 8pm, and 9pm - wear a jersey! or if your taste dictates- a fleecy type fing, tweed jacket, jerkin, parka.........) we can always decide that in the morning tomorrow when we meet up.....(whether or not to go, rather than what to wear.......girls eh!

)

Did a recky in Asda today to check availability of barbeque type stuff and glad to report they are well stocked

though they have changed the store around and I got lost!!......well it is a big store

Yours
easily confused of Edinburgh

p.s. I'll be in the car park from about 11.30 am - in a quiet spot at the back somewhere. Ally'll probably be there around the same time (?

)

You've all got my number

so keep me posted! - good luck with the lights Rohan!

Ok, so i'm REALLY sorry, this is the first time i'd ducked out of anyting in a long time...but:-

1) I've recieved a letter from my insurance company, the other driver is trying to claim...off me?!?! I need to sort this out.

2) My mums asked me for some rent...whhich i thought they'd forgotten about, so am now UBER skint.

3) She also wants my leaking rover off the drive so i have to change the head gasket this weekend.

I'm sooo jealous, and really unhappy i can't come, secretly i'd decided i was going to...

I hope to see you all soon!
