Soooo excited
Just over a week to go!!!
Not usre whether to go on show day or the following display days though?

[internet_nobody]

Well i'll be there, i'm judging :P Will be there on Sunday too, but probably leave early to come home and sort the hammies, since i'm going up on Friday to set up, and then have to be back up north to see my Mum on the bank holiday!

[Vectis Hamstery]

I'll be there too even if I do have to leave at 5.30am to get there in time. Yaaaawn. Will be there for the sunday display, but then will have to head back to feed the ravenous hoardes here at home.

*wonders if I_N wants a half-asleep steward to "help" her* Hmmm, probably not

[fluffymunchkins]

I'll look forward to seeing you again (and ham napping the Fugines too )

[Amethyst_ice]

[Tish36]

[Tish36]

[Tish36]
