That's great news! I will leave here in plenty of time. Have you got someone coming with you? If so I can ring and check your progress.....

Shirley · « **Reply #129 on:** January 06, 2011, 22:33:32 PM »

Looks like about 3pm i'll be seeing you, Rachel........

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #128 on:** January 06, 2011, 18:39:58 PM »

Yes thats it Rachel cos its easier for Lau to pick up Pussy from the birmingham change over point, so grey boy will come towards you and Pussy will be going off with her new meowmy

Thanks Lau.........Pussy says she prefers fish LOL

I have been out all day. I have been trying to follow the thread but I am just a little bit confused. I am only taking grey boy from Derby to Chesterfield now, aren't I?

lau200 · « **Reply #126 on:** January 06, 2011, 18:31:31 PM »

chipped too, Gill

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #125 on:** January 06, 2011, 18:30:20 PM »

Just spoke to Lau and Pussy is now officially part of the relay

I am sure she is going to a very good home and will be spayed and glued on Monday

and possibly chipped, for got to mention that when we spoke.

There will be carrrier bag coming with her for Lau which will have her food in and will bring food and water and a litter tray just incase of accidents.

I will be putting a towel over both carriers, Pussys will go with her but cant afford to let the one for grey boy to go with him so up to cazzer and others for his cover.

My goodness we are nearly ready, all I have to do now is move all the junk off back seat......sigh

It's different Sue. Plastic doesn't "breathe" like material.....Sorry.

It's a mahoosive bag twice the size of carrier so lots of ventilation but I'll figure out a plan B instead

Shirley · « **Reply #119 on:** January 06, 2011, 14:49:31 PM »

Maybe just cover with a towel........? (if he doesn't freak out of course!) Think most cats are calm with a towel over aren't they but it's a long journey, so maybe just cross your fingers,lol x

OMG forgot that small detail !!!! Can i drop out now please????? (Only joking!)

I'm toying with the idea of putting the carrier in one of those large plastic coated shopper bags...so if he sprays and it gets through the ventilation slats the bag will contain it.....or is that a bit cruel? It's no different to covering the carrier with a towel really is it? Don't want to freak the poor boy out though :/

Don't know about any services nearby-i think it's the Oldbury junction, Lau, if that's any help!

lau200 · « **Reply #114 on:** January 06, 2011, 13:01:56 PM »

i don't know the area at all, but if i know a rough estimate of time, i can arrange myself accordingly. do we have a services to meet at or something? as junction 2 doesn't show up on my satnav. i have recently got a new phone which i don't know how to use to please bear with me and the phone! i'm feeling better today but not 100% but will be fine to collect darling pussy kitten. it will be an hours journey or so for me, so i will set out earlier so as not to be late.

i'm ringing Gill this evening to hopefully set this all in stone

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #113 on:** January 06, 2011, 12:52:38 PM »

I dont know how Lau is today cos came home from work sicj yesterday but will pm her to read this thread.

Please remember that grey boy is an unneutered Tom LOL.................I am bring some neutrodol spray too

One other little thing is I am useless on a mobile and have no idea how to text! I had to search Nokias site to ring them to find out how to pick up a message............

and have no idea how to pick up a text!

I am sure cazzer will know how to do this and I am far too early in chain to goive any useful info although will rind cazzer when I leave Carmarthen

Shirley · « **Reply #112 on:** January 06, 2011, 12:09:23 PM »

Had one i was taking to a foster home wee on the front seat-nice! Beautiful black boy. (Mikey's) Heather said you should always put a plastic bag on the seat, so i have ever since,lol!

Awwww lovely! I'm near the end of the journey so plenty of plastic bags on the seats,lol!

I'm thinking something similar...and I'm at the start

He's an unknown quantity re: travelling so best to be prepared

Just spoken to Laura and I'm picking Puss up at 9am.
Have requested he not be fed that morning but I'll bring some water and dry biscuits for him to snack on.

suecav · « **Reply #108 on:** January 06, 2011, 10:24:19 AM »

No answer from Laura so have left a message to call me back.

Shirley · « **Reply #107 on:** January 06, 2011, 09:50:56 AM »

Hi Cazzer! Just checked, it IS J2 but the garage would be on the wrong side of the dual carriageway when you come of the motorway-oops! There is a Toys R Us store on the island as you come off-any good?

cazzer · « **Reply #106 on:** January 06, 2011, 09:17:48 AM »

Re Birmingham changeover, would it be possible for all of us to meet at the same place for both handovers. At the moment the suggestion is to make handover at garage near junction 2 (?) on M5, Shirley to confirm where. Would this be ok for Lau?

Shirley · « **Reply #105 on:** January 06, 2011, 08:41:49 AM »

I'm a virgin too........but don't think of your ideas, lol!

rachel_petal_page · « **Reply #104 on:** January 06, 2011, 08:37:30 AM »

This is my first time. I am a virgin! Honest! Just so desperately want everything to go well for all involved

Shirley · « **Reply #103 on:** January 06, 2011, 08:35:17 AM »

Another good idea Rachel!

You've done this before,lol

rachel_petal_page · « **Reply #102 on:** January 06, 2011, 08:14:03 AM »

I know that part of the journey well. It looks like we will be handing the cargo in Derby mid to late afternoon, all being well. I will keep watching on here to see the progress. Is there any chance that people earlier in the chain can keep us later ones updated by text of any delays and such? I might not be at my computer all Saturday as I have a lot of bits to do before I set off to collect the grey boy.

suecav · « **Reply #101 on:** January 06, 2011, 07:41:48 AM »

Yes, I'm hoping the pick up is in Pembroke itself and not one of the outlying villages out in the sticks as that could push the time back quite a bit.
As it stands I'm hoping for a 9am pick up in Pembroke which will get me to Carmarthen for around 10am (It's not a huge distance but lots of speed restrictions and windy roads down here...motorways don't come this far

)
Will confirm later

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #100 on:** January 06, 2011, 00:27:06 AM »

Sorry I keep falling asleep but welcome to the madhouse Shirley

The additional cat is still theoretical until tomorrow night but will be picked up from Cazzer roughly in birmingham by Lau. Sadly we couldt talk tonight as planned cos she was ill, so we will talk tomorrow evening.

So this leaves the last two legs just with the grey boy

Timing wise at the beginning Sue and I are hoping to meet in B&Q carpark in Carmarthen at approx 1000 where we will move grey boy to his permanent travelling carrier.

My journey onwards really depends on the traffic, especially in J23 to 27 on M4 because of the

50mph speed limit but Cazzer and I are meeting at the service station at Magor on M4 and hope that would be between 1130 and 1200. Grey Boy and Pussy will both be in permanent carriers so its only a transfer of the carriers plus a bit of food coming with Pussy plus probably a very emmotional me saying goodbye to Pussy..........sorry

All of this of course depends on what Sue can arrange with the person with grey boy.

Once Lau and I have talked tomorrow evening, if Pussy is moving she and Cazzer will have to pm to sort out the handover of Pussy.

I hope this sounds OK? Sue, I and Cazzer have exchanged mobile numbers and car details. I can ring cazzer when I leave Carmarthen.

Shirley · « **Reply #99 on:** January 05, 2011, 23:09:14 PM »

Cazzer's gone of line so have PM'd her. Can't do anything else for now, so nite all!

rachel_petal_page · « **Reply #98 on:** January 05, 2011, 22:49:03 PM »

Is there any news on the additional puss?

Shirley · « **Reply #97 on:** January 05, 2011, 22:40:12 PM »

Good idea JS-Sue cav will have to start when she's phoned Laura( ?) tomorrow then we can work from there!

rachel_petal_page · « **Reply #96 on:** January 05, 2011, 22:32:47 PM »

As I am undertaking the last leg of the journey I will just wait to be told what time I need to be in Derby. I can't tell you how excited I am!

JackSpratt · « **Reply #95 on:** January 05, 2011, 22:30:35 PM »

Maybe everyone should put meeting points and estimated times on here...?

Shirley · « **Reply #94 on:** January 05, 2011, 22:27:45 PM »

Still not sure where i'm meeting Cazzer!

Shirley · « **Reply #93 on:** January 05, 2011, 22:22:02 PM »

No probs-lets do it now in case i forget,lol-i'll PM you
