Ferries booked for tomorrow afternoon and we should be in Calais in time for dinner...might be able to dip in and out of the forum depending on me getting a Mifi sim or some McD wifi. Don't fret though I'll be back in three months.

Oh yeah! Go on then! Another one of you piss off into the wild blue yonder. See if I care! One of the conditions of being a member of Fruitcakes is firstly owning a motorhome is frowned upon and if you must have one you shouldn't really go anywhere in it. Your flouting these rules and bloody well posting about it! I might have to give you a warning for that. In fact I will!
Knackers and Tuggers have gone and nothing! We expect reports and for you to do us proud over in LaLa Johnny foreigner land by spreading the Fruitcakes ethos and generally making a tit of yourself.
Good Luck! We are all counting on you!

Thanks everyone, I only logged on this morning because the postman delivered my Fruitcake warning letter which I had to sign for for fuck sake. Setting off at 10am (if I can finish fussing over all the last minute stuff that won't make a shits worth of difference) if anyone see's a Hymer with a Homer Simpson in the front window give us a wave. Obviously if your not driving a Hymer then we won't wave back.

Well I'm not fucking laughing now...in only 10 days we have managed to fuck up the ELB so that the fridge doesn't charge or the LB's when we are on the move, the boiler stopped working as did the new SatNav, the fridge is now officially fucked when on gas and 12v. I can't wait for the next instalment of calamities to make themselves known. Fortunately the wine is still plentiful but I'm doing my best to do some damage to that as well! At the moment it's touch and go as to having to come home as I don't fancy roughing it without a fridge in the height of the Spanish summer, hopefully the local motorhome repairman will be able to get us back on the road.

Blimey! Your worse than me. Our fridge did that and it turned out the burner jet just needed a bit of a clean. We just made sure we were on hook up whenever it was a beer and wine night! Im sure you will get it sorted.

Thanks for the beer and wine advice it has certainly helped! We cooked up everything last night that had defrosted in the freezer and had a mega blow out meal. The fridge is now back working as it should be so hopefully the fridge fairy fixed it in the night and judging by the empty wine bottles I think she may have helped herself to a glass or two...or was that me? Having a chill out day (no pun intended) before heading into Spain tomorrow and ready to face our next taxing problem whatever that may be?
Happy whistling tune in background
