    I would like that too Florge, not easy for me to get there these days as I don't have transport but I could mange it by train with a bit of effort.

    Hi Mike - and everyone.

    I have been mega-busy since I arrived in the U.K. Now, with three and a half weeks left I am free!!!

    Anyone want to meet - or go to Cora's?

    Awesome. Sean's sisters would like to go to Cora's too as he kept mentioning it to them... let's see if Al is free?

    Anyone else who'd like to meet up are very much welcome. Please do let me know so I can inform Ate Cora.

    Nice to see you back here, Al.

    Sorry I won't be able to make it due to work commitments.

    I will meet up with all you guys once my wife is here. She should be here by mid-October - that means we will definitely have to go shopping for clothes.

    Make sure your wallet is full of debit/credit cards when you arrive at the Trafford Centre, Howerd :eek: :lol:

    I already have a bank account earmarked for her - a basic bank account with the Co-op. It has a debit card but going overdrawn is blocked. I have also linked the bank account to a Travelex Supercard so that she can withdraw money whilst in the Philippines, with no ATM fees and perfect exchange rates.

    Another advantage of using an account with the Co-op is that she can do her banking at the local Post Office, less than half a mile away.

    Right. So for now, we have a tentative date of either 15 or 16 of August and we have the following people confirmed (let me know if unsure):

    1. Al
    2. Me + hubby + li'l one
    3. Joy + Sean's sisters x 2
    4. Judith + hubby
    5. Oss + ?
    6. Dom + Ate Jet ?

    Anyone else interested, please let me know soon so I can book it with Ate Cora. Exciting times!!!
