Hi Doodles did I say I definitely won't make it 'til Saturday? I have a friend's birthday to go to. Sorry if I didn't let you know earlier! But will make Saturday all the sweeter and hopefully that's when the celebration will begin! Save a glass for me too - I'll need it cos I get stressed driving which is a bit of an inconvenience when I've got a van to drive! Have fun on Friday - but not too much - I want to see everyone in one piece!

Can he leave the blow torch with you, you'll need it for the lobster scotch eggs... I'm not sure about the tinned food though, it's got to be "restaurant quality". We're looking for a big performance if you're going to make the next round
