OMG. Not worrying about it at all :cry:.

By the Way the sun has just come out here in Kent so maybe just maybe it will start to dry up

you could be right Buttons

Hope it is behind you on the way to Peterborough or you could be down to single figures.::bigsmile:

24 to 28 mph winds that could be a lot of head wind. my 14 mpg could be single figures

I try to avoid arguments... especially with lawyers... but I can assure anyone interested that my turbo charged, intercooled Iveco does a great deal more than 14mpg as does my beautiful, classic and classy Hymer 660...

So there! Ya Boo Shucks... (with knobs on)... :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

...Nowhere is there any evidence that my client JJ has a "wand"...

Whether he associates with people who have such implements or not is beside the point..."

PS. How do you upset lawyers?

I am sorry to hear this honestly.... The great thing about us motorhomers is that when someone is in genuine need we will all rally round and help out.
It is common sense that with a 5 year old and a missus that won't do wellies you may have doubts......

However if you change your mind I can guarantee if you get stuck you can call on me to put my shoulder to your van until the tractor turns up. Your daughter I am sure will be welcome and your wife can always cadge a piggy back off one of the fitter funsters. Failing finding a fitter funster I am sure bob will give your missus a lift on the back of his scooter. He will have run the genny all night to ensure it is charged enough to be at her service all day:winky::winky::winky::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

No guarantees on the day to be fair but I know a couple of the members personally and they will always help...

I think it's a shame that people are not going due to the ground conditions. I can understand though. I have my 7 year old Grand daughter with me this weekend and she is sooo excited about coming out with us. Having been at a meet with Funsters before at Billing where we actually had Ducks swimming outside our van it was that wet. I can assure you that the Funsters all pitch in to get you moving.

The ground may dry up who knows. Think positive.
