The Dogmother Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Like this Jules I have just been rummaging around for mine, which appears to have gone walkabout! I guess I will have to buy one from her on the day as I won't have time to go into town before the course now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poachedegg Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Just catching up before Saturday . To save me reading back through the threads could some kind organised soul do a list for what is required for Saturday - didn't realise we would need our own knives, so it is possible I have missed other things too! Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. You need to take an apron - Alison provides the rest. A cool box to take your chicken home - perhaps two so that you can keep your boned chicken separate from the feathered one you take home. We didn't get anything on our old clothes we wore but we did take spare clean clothes as we went on to visit Christian and I think most of you are meeting up for lunch?

Jules. Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Any idea how long it may take for us to travel there? And is there a postcode for both the course venue & the cafe we can have for the sat nav in case we get hopelessly lost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jules. Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 OOOHHHH Forgot to say B would like the Beef & Yorkshires too- is he too late to order his food?

laurmurf Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Oh dear I have had to email Alison to cancel my place. My husband goes into hospital on the 23rd to have a long-standing problem with his nose fixed. It was broken as a lad and he is finding it increasingly difficult to breathe at night resulting in the most appalling snoring at times. He will, no doubt bleed, drip and complain for the first few days and generally be unable to cope. I was so looking forward to the course, meeting fellow omleteers and some excellent post course black pudding. I am booked on the 11am slot if anybody has the chance to go. sorry we'll miss you DA, i was really looking forward to meeting you! I do hope your OH understands the level of sacrifice you've made for him (oh and that his op goes well too... i suppose ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mostin Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Just sat here bleary eyed and having brekky.

Jules. Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I'm just about to have my cup of tea & make my flask of coffee for the journey We are leaving Warrington at 9.30, so should make good time. We have a sat nav & Poachedegg has printed off your instructions, Egluntine, so hopefully we won't get lost. I feel excited, like I do when I am setting off on holiday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted April 25, 2009 Author Share Posted April 25, 2009 See you in a bit! The weather looks lovely so far. Am just about to knock up a Lemon Drizzle cake in case we end up at Egluntine Towers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mostin Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 It does feel like that doesn't it . I even bought a big bag of Maynards winegums for the car last night from the petrol station when I filled up, and we only ever have sweets in the car on holiday journeys. I must have been in that mindset . Oh wow, lemon drizzle cake drooooooooool. We must see your girls Egluntine. Can't come to Sheffield and not have a tour of Egluntine towers. Why am I still on here , I need to get ready . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Hope you are all having a good day. I'm sure we'll all hear about the course and see the photos (of the cake ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moochoo Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Just got back from Sheffield. It was a great day and a fantastic course, highly recommended! We certainly had some eventful moments, including converting some passing Rainbow Guides to early vegetarianism or animal activism! Much kudos to Egluntine for organising it all and arranging a rather yummy dinner, we were all famished after our hard morning's plucking and boning! I must say that Mostin's stronger than she looks, it's certainly no way to treat a potential chicken of fate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
