Almost sorted - Blackpool to Manchester needs to be covered....
Title: Re: Transport run Blackpool to Nottingham
Post by: Tiggerman on March 14, 2011, 11:43:25 AM
So you have covered Manchester to Nottingham?

I could do the Blackpool to Manchester run.

Would need to sort out dates and times though as this would
need to fit around my work.

Can you let me know asap please.

Well Done JS ....

You have put in alot of hard work to get this little lady to a safe place where she can be helped.

What I LOVE about you is the quiet unassuming way you go about things.
You don't want praise, you don't think you are better than anyone else ...you are such a genuine nice, caring person

I am doing the Manchester to Chesterfield part!  Just need to know where I need to pick up.  I will be travelling from Flint in North Wales and can go via Stockport.  I am leaving Flint at 5ish Sunday afternoon.
Love

Right, so:

Blackpool to Manchester: Tiggerman
Manchester to Chesterfield: Rachel
Chesterfield to Nottingham: Gemma

That seems right!

Jack Spratt - just pm'd you.

Seen yourt post on CC, and yes my username is different on there!!!
Title: Re: Transport run Blackpool to Nottingham
Post by: JackSpratt on March 15, 2011, 17:47:10 PM
Trying to do too many things at once! Sootyca, can you confirm you can do the bit Tiggerman said was OK if they're working at the time the transport run ends up being done?
Title: Re: Transport run Blackpool to Nottingham
Post by: Tiggerman on March 15, 2011, 19:10:04 PM
Just to confirm I can be in Blackpool around 11.15 to 11.30am.

Assuming no hold ups I should be back around the Manchester or
Stockport area around 12.30 - 12.45.

These are the only times I can do on Sunday.
Title: Re: Transport run Blackpool to Nottingham
Post by: JackSpratt on March 15, 2011, 19:41:05 PM
Have messaged Rachel to make sure that's OK. :)
Title: Re: Transport run Blackpool to Nottingham
Post by: Sootyca on March 15, 2011, 20:38:40 PM
I did respond but I think it got eaten! At moment I'm free on Sunday so should be okay to do a run if times aren't suitable for Tiggerman.

Great stuff. Have tried calling Nicky earlier but not getting a response - will call tomorrow. :)

Rachel, Sootyca can do other times if other folk can't work around Tiggermans.....what times can you do?
Title: Re: Transport run Blackpool to Nottingham
Post by: rachel_petal_page on March 15, 2011, 23:03:15 PM
I usually leave Flint around 5.  So I can be in the Stockport area for 6.  I can do later but would prefer not to be any earlier.  Sorry for being awkward :-(
Title: Re: Transport run Blackpool to Nottingham

Have messaged Sootyca - let's see if we can figure this out. ;)

Late Sunday is fine for me if the later pickups are okay for other people in the run.  I've pm'd Rachel.

First leg went fine - she travelled really well.  Had an unexpected toilet stop within 5 minutes of setting out so she had a wander round the car whilst her carrier and blanket was cleaned out.   Had to do another clean out when we stopped for the changeover and her blanket didn't make it that time!

She was such a sweetie though - she loved exploring the car and didn't have a problem being put back in the carrier. i confess I was nervous about letting her out but she did need cleaning up.  Even had some head-butts off her.  Her fosterer has done a really good job of calming her down.   

She did say to be careful of her around food and she will just turn for no reason but she will make a lovely companion for someone. :)

Post by: JackSpratt on March 20, 2011, 20:12:12 PM
I'm told she can be fine for days, really affectionate then....pow. But with time, I think the number of pows will lessen. She's so young.

aaaw bless her little heart  :Luv2: :hug:

Mary
Title: Re: Transport run Blackpool to Nottingham
Post by: Sootyca on March 20, 2011, 20:21:06 PM
She was very tiny and pretty.  I'm sure she would mean business if she attacks but hopefully in a calm household they will get less.  Like I said, the fosterer was done a great job with her and said she would have her back if things don't work out. :)

Oh and the fosterer had several mini-Skys.  3 weeks old, so tiny and cute.  I wanted to catnap them! :D
