"Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye!"

phoenix With you in spirit!

Thinking of you phoenix......keep smiling......the drive will be a walk in the park!

phoenix I hope you eventually got a good night's sleep. I'll be thinking of you and wishing you well this afternoon. Soon this sort of thing will just become a routine that you just take in your stride. Good luck.

Good luck from me too. You will be absolutely great. We are about twelve miles from Nottingham if you want to gird your loins on the way home.

Oh heck, thank you all soooo much, as Greatnan said, how could I not do it with all this support!

I know I should have gone to bed ages ago (early start) and in fact I have already been to bed once, but can't sleep!

I'd forgotten about the M6 Toll, which is daft as they were one of my clients in my last job! (Yes, I appreciate that it may be hard to imagine how you could mystery shop the M6 Toll road, but we did!)

Anyway, off to bed and hopefully to sleep this time, thank you all again for all the encouragement, and I hope that all members stay safe and well, (and happy if possible, any circumstances permitting)

Be back in touch Friday evening, maybe before if possible,

Love to all,

R. xx

Good luck,drive safe. You prob won't get over 30 on the M6 so no worries! Take the toll.

Phoenix all the best for tomorrow, I'll be thinking about you

Phoenix Good luck girl, I'll be willing you on

Will be thinking of you Phoenix.
Agree with Stansgran, you're in charge of the journey, have as many rest stops as you like - before you think you're going to need them - and don't feel you have to make conversation.
Oh and don't run out of petrol
Or put diesel in the engine if it's a petrol engine

Good luck phoenix, we'll all be thinking of you and wishing you well. I'm sure you'll be fine once you get going. Like a lot of things - it seems worse when you anticipate it but once you start you'll take it in your stride.
Keep us up to date with how you're getting on when you get the chance

phoenix they'll help you if you need it (hope you have sat nav) It will all be fine - go girl!

Good luck ! Manchester is a great place . Can your passengers not share the drive?

Go for it, gal! Lots of luck, too. xxxx

You are in charge of the car. It stops where you want it to stop and if you feel tired or strung up tell the passengers to be quiet. Have the music you like on cd . For long journeys I list the turnoff s so I know where I am in uncharted territory. Ask one of the passengers to tick the names off if you do this. Insist that the journey is a team effort with you as boss. After the build up it will be a doddle

Good luck Phoenix! I will send strengthening vibes your way.

Good luck Phoenix - you can do it and do it you will!

You will do it with ease - how could you not with so many good wishes.

phoenix don't forget to pack spare knickers for the journey

GOOD LUCK !

Go, break a leg!

Sleep well Phoenix, and I'll be thinking of you tomorrow. It's a tough call but I am sure you will be absolutely fine. Sending you calming vibes.

Good luck Phoenix - just take it slowly with the drive and all will be well.

You've done this before - you will be fine!

Courage mon brave! You'll be a star, and, if you do take a wrong turn, blame it on your passengers. And remember those pussy cats will be miaowing you on every mile of the way. X

More positive vibes from me too Phoenix! The traffic may not be too bad with the schools being on holiday so don't be scared - you will be fine and have a brilliant sense of achievement when you have actually done it! Make your passengers act as navigators so you are not trying to do it all yourself.

It sounds so exciting phoenix! good luck...will be sending you positive vibes from Devon first thing in the morning

Drive safe! We will all be thinking of you!
