All the other drivers and passengers, you all looked fab :kiss::kiss:

A mega mega thanks to Dave and team for the prep and cooking of the food :kiss::kiss:

To all the forumites who did come and introduce themselves to us, nice to meet you :kiss::kiss:

To all who popped into chez cubed for a cuppa or beer and a chat, shared some good laughs! :kiss::kiss:

To everyone who offered and helped on Sunday when we packed up, and for making sure we were ok, and those who have messaged me since. Everyone is much better today! :kiss::kiss:

But of course, the biggest thanks goes the man himself who without his sheer determination, blood, sweat and tears, guts, and grey hairs!!!!! This wouldn't have happened.

So Thank you Jack Beckett :kiss::kiss::kiss::kiss::kiss::kiss::kiss:

Rosie, was that your fez being modelled by the carrier crew, or did they bring their own supply?

I spotted that to!! No it was their own one. I only took the helmet, the sombrero and my white badge hat.

If anyone can't see it let me know and I'll put the photos up.

excellent pictures everyone, thanks.

Oh dear, sorry to hear about eldest cubelet It's no fun when your kids are ill, even worse when its away from home. Glad to hear you got to enjoy some of it anyway.

Thanks Vulture

Unfortunately I started a little while later and am still 'going'

It's an unfortunate end to a wonderful weekend. I have cried on Jacks shoulder this morning (literally) as I'm devastated I cant go today but that's life.

It's 1.45am, it's absolutely pouring with rain, some big old gusts to, our eldest cubelet has been sick (and worse) this evening-everywhere and due to him running out of clothes now I am going to have to go home in the morning

BUT saying that, it's still been an amazing time and I am still smiling

Bring on 2014.........

The cubed one had strict instructions to hoover that carpet you know, i want it might smart when I arrive! how do you like his new hair cut then?!!!!!!

See you all tomorrow chaps

Just had an emergency text from the cubed one. He needs his wellies!!!!!!!! Doh!!!

Its blowing a hoolie here on Hayling island too, chimet is showing gusts of F4!!! but you have to ride this one out to gain the sunshine!!!

The cubed one arrived at 1pm today, cubed in law arrived an hour or so earlier.

my mobile mansion is up and fitted out (hope my spinning disco ball is up). The field is a tad damp apparently so have added my wellies to the stuff I need to take.

One more sleep:beer::beer::yay::yay::banana::banana:

:dancinggirls:

The thorm woke youngest cubelet up and he wanted to sleep in with us, then he got bored and moved to lounge to watch telly, once awake I find it difficult to get back to sleep!!! Also soooooo excited about A&E I couldn't possibly sleep!!!

Feel like s**t now though!!!!!!!!!

Oh and the hats? I have decided to bring the helmet, the white one and my sombrero
