Yep, I'm still in.
I'll be there about 1945 I reckon, give or take a bit. Got to wait for Baby D and Mrs D to finish dance class before setting off.

It's brand new!! Surely it can't need a valet yet can it??!!
Is that sort of time good for you Jon as I guess you'll be travelling furthest on the night?

yeah i should be ok - although have meetings in Bracknell til around 4 so i may be coming direct in my suit
Inside, the car is still pretty clean, but on the outside she has already faced, wind, rain, snow and hail - i think a quick wash may be needed!

Jon, don't fib you're working from home that day, and you're not content with rocking up in a brand new car, you're going to wear your best suit too!!
You've changed since you had that posh new car!!
I had our ML valetted today, to remove all traces of mud following our long weekend in muddy Wiltshire, so I may come in that.
Be warned, SEM always says 'Nah, I'm not going to bother washing mine' beforehand, and then arrives with it looking like a new pin. Grr.
Update on my timings - 1945 is the earliest I'll probably be there - Baby D's school open evening changed nights at short notice, and guess which nights it's moved to. All being well I won't be much after 1945 though.
