Help me out of this chair would you?

I'm pretty sure I faced the same dilemma last year.
BTAP is close to my Birthday so do plans get shifted to attend (adding yet more virgin meat to the lions...)
Hmm! For those that booked rooms most recently, still availability?

[ali_kat]

They had when I spoke with them earlier to confirm my reservation (that I made last November!)

I know this will vary wildly depending on litres of alcohol consumed and such but very rough ideas on costing for the weekend?

No Problem

I budget £500 for room, tickets, alcohol, petrol, lunch!, raffle tickets etc for 2 people.

Then there is the dress, shoes, hair, handbag...

Don't forget blowing the budget completely through random bidding of ridiculous amounts for stuff you don't want in the auction.

Sadly being back down to 1 car, petrol or more specifically Diesel won't be an issue!

The rest seem reasonable.

Dress - Well I wouldn't want to show up any of the ladies
Shoes - Covered.
Hair - Disappearing at a rapid rate...
Handbag - Room key & money what else do you need?

I already have the frivolous purchases thread and eBay for that.
But noted!

Didn't think there was an auction last year?

Nope, no auction last year. After the early years efforts by certain members latter years seemed a bit lame, how much was paid for the pink steering wheel cover for Mel's Griff?

Sounds about right.

The breathalyzer test in the morning is free though.

Free, or inclusive?

Well, there was a bidding war on some Lego

Bur nothing to the previous standard of Jamie bidding against himself for a prize he won & donated!

And me winning a Jaguar for the weekend.

I'm the last person on earth that needs that!
