Knocking on the door...

I've given in and registered! I have logged onto this forum for a long time and feel I need to show my hand. Have been to CVO many times - going back there on the 24th for 6 days to escape the awful British Christmas! Hope to visit some places we've not been to before but may be difficult. If anyone has got any ideas please let me know ....but not the greasy spoon a la Quarterias please!!

Hi, welcome Helen, I am really glad you have joined getting our members towards the magical 400, of course the fact you have been around for ages, watching us all do our stuff on here will probably mean that you have all sorts of opinions about us, which is just a tiny bit scary but I am looking forward to you 'getting stuck in'.

Thankd Maddi and cowboy - its true I feel like I do know you al

The forum is like a large dinner party that never ends - even has the inevitable guest who is rude!! My problem is I work from home a lot and it is very distracting - I even found myself doing Michael's wordsearch instead of writing a report (sad or what?)

See I'm supposed to be working now.........

Hello Helen,

Welcome to the club;) You are right about that Diner part. You know the people around the forum only from Internet, but somehow everybody knows who is who. And even I get distracted from work now due to the forum haha.

It's great to hear from you 'personally'. Still not got much work done this morning....checking the forum....wrapping presents.....checking the forum...making coffee....checking the forum

Counting down the days until we're back in CVO - flying from Birmingham on the 24th - anyone else? Booked into Bon Bon for Christmas dinner...and then maybe some romance Maddi!

I have just come home from work to write a report and so far have checked my emails, made a cup of tea, opened a pile of christmas cards, and logged in here - this forum does that to you. I am glad you enjoy it Helen because most of us do.

Unfortunately I won't be in CVO until the end of May, but I wish you luck with your holiday. Please do not fret too much for me as I am sure that I will not be missing out on romance!! Although I suspect that Eva may have comandeered the whole one admirer I have on this forum but then she does look gorgeous.

Well Maddi we sem to be a right pair! My work is so tedious today I've already opened the wine! I wonder what else the forum prevents people doing????

Well certain people (and I shall let them "out" themselves) forget to go to bed at night - and we can only imagine what the forum is stopping them from doing
