Well it appears to be that time of year, where the sun is shining, kids are on summer break, people are on their holidays and the forums quieten down for the summer months. Enjoy your summer and do not worry about Gatchamania we'll be right here when you get back Cep - Gatchamania.net Administrator

aww! and you know we will be back also

yep still love this site but the outdoors call to me too much

I will be back after recovering from drinking through the World Cup but with a HUGE hangover though.

I like the Stanley Cup myself but my favs lost out in the first round!!! That really sucked!!!! Now my smilies are not working correctly.

I have been to Ibiza. I come back home and it's hotter here than it was there!

Where is Ibiza meridianday???

Im not going anywhere on holiday. Im too laid back for that.

"Sorry, I thought I read that wrong. You did say that it was hotter here than Ibiza. Damm, I going. There's no way I am working in these conditions." Goes and packs suitcases.

Ibiza is an Island off Spain in the Med Sea.

I'm not going anywhere on holiday as I can't afford it.

Aye, it's famed for its clubs and hedonism, but where we went you'd never know there was anything other than a beautiful family holiday destination. I like holidays. This one was quite a large family holiday since two of my husband's brothers and one of his sisters, together with some of their children came along, and my parents too. The parent side was a bit odd because they're not beach people, but they got to sit in the cafes and watch the world go by, and I think they enjoyed it. They got to see that the sea really is that blue in the Mediterranean at least - I don't know how many times they've told me that the sea is only that blue in the brochures because the pictures are retouched, and it's only that blue in people's holiday photos because the photo processing companies do some special thing to enhance the colours

Thanks for letting me know, I wouldn't mind checking it out someday myself but I don't forsee it anywhere in the future. Also Cep, see how lively the boards can be? Don't know if it will stay like this though.Doubt it.

humph! It's bloody cold here - not even reached 20 celcius (70 farenheit) and it's 1:30 in the afternoon!

I got to be around 85-90 degrees here. A little too hot but I think I can handle it for the time being.

New air conditioner in new house couldn't get it below 27C yesterday. Outside was 31. Two sales reps said get the smaller size; the larger was nuts. The third said get one size larger. We went with the majority. Maybe balancing the heat ducts will help. Seems to be a lot of cold air being pumped into the already cool basement. Yes, we need to pump some air in down there so it'll push itself into the cold-air-return, but maybe there's too much. We'll see. Also have to check if there even is cold air return vents in the basement. Friend who's helping heard we were going to replace the baseboard in the upstairs bath, so he removed it before painting. Except, the replacing was planned for fall. So now we have the bottom of the plaster walls several inches from the edge of the vinyl floor, and have to put in baseboard before I can seal it. (Unless I really want all the water splashed from the bath to seep down around the floor edges.) Fun, fun. Last two months, my mantra has been, "It will be worth it."

I'm off for my second holiday of the year. I'm towing our caravan about 170 miles down to the south coast, with child on board (in the car not the caravan). Wish us luck, and I'll see you in a couple of weeks.

Good luck - have a great holiday!

Hope you don't get stuck in wonderful British traffic

Hope you have a wonderful holiday Meridian

Enjoy your vacation, Meridian! Bring us a souvenir!

Don't like you anymore. You could have invited everybody to stay in your caravan. I haven't been away for a holiday in several years now.

Ah, it's a rather small caravan. It used to be a cosy 4-berth before its previous owner's DIY skillz reduced it to 3 beds. And due to the lack of privacy - it's 20 years old which is before separate rooms started being put into these things - I wouldn't want to share anyway. ;p Anyhoo, we had rather good weather, found a number of very nice beaches (one has the fine kind of sand that just runs straight out of your clothes and towels so that they look as if they've never been near the beach after you've shaken them out) and left just as the weather turned. And both going and coming back, all the traffic was jammed the opposite way. I have bought you all virtual fudge. Choose your flavour and enjoy

So why did you bring the rain with you. It's been raining on and off since yesterday. Glad you enjoyed your holiday but next time buy a TARDIS caravan, so everyone can come with you (better have one with rubber room for you know who).

MMMMM... fudge is my favorite...pass me the milk chocolate, please! Thanks, Meridian!

The weather's good from my point of view - it's only rained since I got back. I am also partaking in the chocolate fudge.

I will have the beer flavoured fudge please. Not for the ber of course you understand.

Do you have some dark chocolate fudge?????? If not then I guess I'll go with peanut butter.

Virtual fudge comes in any flavour you want So both dark chocolate and peanut are available, with the flavours combined if you want.

Just imagine having all of your flavourite flavours in just one box of fudge.
