Excitment thread!

Getting excited now, up to about a 7 now. Better try and finish the snow smock off, looks like it could get some use.

Couldnt resist the lure of getting all suited and booted last night to check all my stuff is ready, first realisation...greatcoats are bloody heavy especially when combined with full belt kit & an e-tool. Still, if this weather doesnt warm up i'd be foolish not to wear it!

Well I checked the old Soviet Breeches and It turns out I have not put loads of weight on and am now unable to fit in them. Hurrah

My SVT now lives after the gearbox dieing yesterday so I'm up to an 8. Still got some packing to do though.

Car is packed and batteries are charging, just bread, water and booze to shop for.
I'm creeping up past 8.

Right, got my gear ready... now up to a high 8-9

All packed up and ready to load the van tomorrow, just charging batteries, up to a 8 now, would be higher but buggered the mechbox in the mg34, to cut a long story short was firing at about 330, now down to 110 was working ok why didnt I leave it alone too late now

batterys charged ,guns serviced ,gear cheched,bb's stowed and stick grnade's arived..... still waiting for boots but stand in boots proofed and polished.just got to pop out and get fodder,was going to get pies but they froze at redcap not so paletable eating frozen ginsters) and its nearly as cold so im thinking french stick and sausage for lunch and grot noodles for evening meal and breakfast.now reaching 9.2 would be higher if me new jolly plodders had arived but they should get here tomorow ,hopefully in the morning so i can treat them to some food and shine.

Oh yeah, today I realised that you can't just pick and instrument up again a year later and still know how to play a tune .

Given the look on Dean's face - and his hands over his ears - All we need do is funnel the Hun into and enclosed space with powerful acoustics.

Mattesons smoked sausage is my favourite. Good to eat cold, but you can warm it in the sealed bag as you boil the water for the rat pack / noodles/ soup

Been to Lidl so Bratties for breakfast, I'm not eating cabbage soup!

Been to Aldi's, sorted my gear, I'm up a big fat juicy
9.8

Bavarian cheese and smoked sausage bought, gear all packed and waiting, only a day in the office between me and 9.5

liveing room covered in piles of kit(all for one day!) ,pressure testing air bed ,only one let down ....mr underwoodv has let me down,after 2 weeks he's decided he has not got size 10 boots in stock...two days before an event ,feel a little bitter really as i could have got them elsewhere but still verry excited 9.5 .

That is very unusual for him, in my experience.

Have a look in Bluewater before you arrive? They may have an Ann Summers outlet if you want a pair of black boots

I've got pair of postwar gaiters I'll bring along if they help

Finally 10, I'm off guys, see you all there, have safe journeys etc. Can't believe after all this time and planning the battle is upon us!

i've got brit gaters and the only difference at a glance is the canvas strap rather than leather and thats close enough,but thanks anyway.

im up to a 9.1 but dont finish work till 23.30 pm tonight once thats done im up to a 10.see u all soon.

For three days earlier this week one of my front tyres has rapidly lost all air, the last three days it has been fine. Took it into the garage, it was removed and closely examined but no fault found so they put it back together and replaced the valve - so I hope that has sorted it and I don't have to stop on the hard shoulder on the way down. Anyway, all packed and stowed in the car, firewood done too. Now for a couple of hours paperwork until my navigator turns up then we will set off at 3-ish. Satnav says an easy 2hrs 40mins but we will hit the M25 at rush hour so gawd knows how long the journey will actually be.

So, I'm at a 9 and looking forward to seeing everyone again and I hope the weather holds - today has been fab airsofting weather. (Well, for battery gun users anyway!)

dogs to walk,car to pack(when wifeio gets home) food to get on route ,heart in mouth this is agony waiting for wifeio to get home
