Yes babe some took months to answer! Apparently they get thousands of requests so they have to plough thru them all!! I think we have another Tracey (from GR) that may join us too!! :O) |

Morning Pink :-) I am still waiting for Tracey to let me know, Mal spoke to one of her staff last week and she has been talking about it lots, so i am hopeful. He is back to work tomorrow so i will get him to call again and see if she has decided. A question for you, when you were early stages fundraising for China, did you write to companies for sponsorship? and if so did they take ages to reply? i have been waiting 4 weeks in some cases and i don't know whether to assume its a no from them by now? I sent another dozen letter out at the weekend, and hopefully at least one of them will get back to me! Yvette |

Dratted doctor signed me off as fit to walk so no pulling out now! lol Does anyone know where I can buy some nice Daisy stickers to put on my boots and bags? Essential question obviously! lol Daisy |

Susie, i can't get the blessed site to work, not sure why, but can you give me an idea of items and prices of what they can do for us? I have my boots already...got them Friday, and i am living in them :-)) I have no idea what else they do that we might need, and i have to go out now for a couple of hours, but i will be back later. Thanks Yvette |

Hello all Just go off the phone to caroline at Breghaus and she said because of the number of us in the trek it would probably go out as a contract to a different Berghaus department so please if you need or want anything send me your wishlist from products off the Berghaus site and the colour, code, and size she will see if boot availability is good and get them out asap and other products could be dispatched as and when they come in but she will need lists asap..... Susie x |

Paul - How do you know you don't smell...? I bet you're still bunged up and therefore wouldn't be able to tell... lol |
