arrasails Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I'm going with my best friend but her nan and mum are tagging along too but staying in a different room. bring on the good times! What's it like at the Grand by the way? I stayed there with my mate last time. It's an OK hotel - the area looks a bit dodgy but they generally leave you alone :) Cheers Lou.

I thought we could put milk in it for brekkie? A little bit like this http://www.popgadget.net/images/cooltone-mini-fridge.jpg A space for an upright can of coke and put some sandwiches on top of that............tiny! I will bring drink with me too though, expensive prices at the hotel and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might get u to pick me up a bottle of vodka or something if ur getting booze because I dont wanna fly with it in my bag. Rough Ryanair baggage handlers + vodka = stinking baseball outfit and ball dress! I answered ur FB msg somewhere on here lol, I'm not staying on Sunday night and might be getting a taxi to and from the airport. Pricey but means I dont miss stuff. What a conundrum!

I answered ur FB msg somewhere on here lol, I'm not staying on Sunday night and might be getting a taxi to and from the airport. Pricey but means I dont miss stuff. What a conundrum! Yeah, thats no problem, let me know what and I can grab it from the supermarket before I come. Which airport are you flying, still Luton? Thats quite a long trek Yeah, I answered that post too I didn't think about timings with gold pass reception or anything. If it does clash, perhaps we just meet up at the party? I will ring the hotel tomorrow and see what they say about the single for Sunday night, but to be honest, if there is not much price difference, I probably won't bother. I will check what they want us to do about paying as well though I'll keep you posted. I will message you the reference number tomorrow after I have confirmed with the hotel. (Will do that tea time after I finish teaching) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragonsanddaffodils Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Queen Sindel said to someone else that the gold pass receptin is often at 6pm, don't know what that means with your timings? Thats a bit pricey for taxi isn't it. I don't know how far Luton is from Northampton though Not my area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
