I'm going on the 25th after I've had my eyes checked. Be there mid dayish.
Anyone else going to be there?

Well me obviously bit you already knew that ... I did mean to ask though whether having your eyes tested before we go was in any way related to going looking at a hall full of bling ... And no my mum won't be dressing me that day

I expect to be able to make it on the 25th.; my employers haven't said no to me taking that day off.
