    Hey! I'm fine thank you, just stressing out at the impending deadlines!!! It's that time of year again :L !

    Thanks for letting me know, shame about the dance :( but I didn't realise that 'It's A Knockout' would be doubling as a garden party, that's a good idea. I don't especially want to get wet and gungey!!!!! As for volunteers, you may have to count me out, I don't finish uni stuff till 28th May so I'll be looking for a day off I think :L

    How are you getting on?

    Hi,

    Are there any plans for a party or dance at the end of May/start of June to celebrate the end of semester?

    And are there any plans for a Garden Party this year, or is the 'its a knockout' taking it's place? The one back in 2007 was so much fun :D , and makes me feel really old thinking about how long ago that is now ....!
