I can't wait to meet all you guys too - and I can deffo go too! I was worried about telling mum, but I have a simple answer - I'm not going to! I'll say I'm staying at Bex's and I'll be home on Sunday and she'll let me go without another word! Might have to leave around lunchtime or something rather than staying till 5pmish on the Sunday, but I won't mind too much

Reserve Accommodation It is possible that the Peterborough Holiday Inn will be filled over the Weekend. Should a registrant be unable to stay at the Peterborough Holiday Inn for this reason, several alternate hotels are available within a short distance offering the same rate as the Peterborough Holiday Inn. These reserve hotels are all within easy public transport access of the Peterborough Holiday Inn. Staff at the Peterborough Holiday Inn will happily refer people to one of these reserve hotels if necessary.

I just called the hotel - and had a laugh with the night porter when he realised that I was from Australia (He kept saying g'day pfft and what a lovely accent I had) - and he seems to think that there should be rooms available for the con. If you tried booking through the internet, it won't work. Best bet is to call in the morning and speak to the hotel itself. There is no deposit required *nod*

thans linds - me and ryan were just sorting out payment and everything like right now, and were thinking 'the hotel must be booked up' but now i've realised - DJ has reserved the whole hotel, and thats why we have to ring! *smacks head* I'm suprised how cheap its gonna be actually - £500 for all 4 of us (tickets and hotel booking, not including travel, but only gonna be like £20 train fare for me)

Yeah, the hotel is pretty cheap. For a single room, it is £135 for Thursday, Friday, Saturday nights. Which works very well for me because I don't want to be rushing from London to get up there. It's not long on the train, is it? Hmm ... I haven't worked out when I'm arriving yet. That's another thing to think about. Jetlag is going to kill me so I'm thinking of arriving on the Tuesday or Wednesday so that the jetlag won't have hit when DJ is on. Imagine me falling asleep during the talks - I'd shoot myself. Haha. I'm going to enlist you guys to prod me in the ribs whenever I look like I'm falling asleep. Stupid jetlag.

Mate, just go ahead and book it now. They just need your credit card (or debit card) number. *nod* At least then you know you've got a room.
And about these prods ... perhaps I spoke too soon. I am very ticklish and if I'm surrounded by those who are going to poke my sides everytime my eyeballs seem to close ... well, there will be lots of embarassing squeals.

lol you squeal when poked like I do?... excellent!
Hehe, I don't have the money at the min - But I will, and my friend's gonna book, but his parents are like "get the money first" we'll find a way around it, but parents can be so annoying just the same!
edit: Bex is gonna sub me till I can pay my ticket - but I tentativly asked mum using the conversation that she said I could go away for the weekend - "well if i can go to bex's all weekend, why cant i go WITH bex to DJ?" and it worked! *jumps around* I was always gonna go, but now I can go without thinking 'what if mum finds out and grounds me till i'm like 30?'

lol I was a bit like that at GMEX in Feb coz it was the first time I met Danny (and Bobby but Danny is just... mmmmm!) but I will be ok at the convention - I'll be too busy keeping Bex off Craig and Lar off Chris for a start - Trust me, one look and they'll be following Chris & Craig everywhere - tongues trailing on the floor like salivating mops! I will probably chicken out of my question I want to ask Danny though (How many hats does he actually own?) I did at GMEX so I'll probably get someone else to ask. Best part of the weekend as well as meeting you guys and the rest of the cast will have to be: Danny: Hey ZK: *goes red* Hey, Dunno if you remember me, you talked to my friend on the phone at GMEX in Feb - Well she's here Lar *stops staring at Chris* HI! *will probaly start wittering on about how she got the bleeping on her phone fixed since she taked to him on the phone* Danny: ...
Aaaaanyway - I'm ranting from hyperness, tirdness and bordem mixed in!
