Awesome mate, make sure you get your ass there.

My parents owned a massive tent suitable for six or more people, plus a few smaller two man ones... I'll check up with them and see if they're still kicking around somewhere.

I'm absolutely fine for people to take up residence on the lounge room, spare room, study floor if they can manage to bring something to sleep on, as well.

Hmm, It's probably about time I told my girlfriend what's going on so she doesn't freak out. :lol:

Speaking of which, is there a confirmed weekend for this that suits everyone yet? If so, I'll put in my application for leave tomorrow so it's all sorted.

Ok guys. Any objections to the weekend of the 7th of August? If you have a problem with the date, voice it now!!
If there's no objections by this Sunday, then it's decided for the 7th and 8th.

Sorry but you cant! A head gasket isnt a huge deal. :) fixable for sure but a rebuild of an engine.. hmm..

SOPHIA, we have NOT established that you have a blown head gasket YET. It is very hard to diagnose over the internet so dont get all worried yet.
