Title: HELP!!!! (Ideally near Nots Airport!)
Post by: JamesV6CDX on 02 July 2007, 13:46:11
Long, long shot. Anyone near this area, or on the way to this area, fancy looking after my doggie for 3 nights?

In a bit of a pickle here unfortunately - Kennels have shut before we could get there this morning, (dispite us calling and saying we were a mile away) - and simply cannot find anywhere to have our dog now.

Supposed to be checking in at 6pm, so unless we can find someone who wants to look after Lucy, we're  :-X'ed and going to miss our flights, and holiday.

Bloody gutted :(

Unfortunately I can't help with looking afer the dog, but have a look on www.yell.com/ucs/HomePageAction.do under dog kennels. There are a fair number in the Notts area. Have  a good hol, and send us a postcard!. :y

Well, we are going camping in Devon.

Without a tent.

It's amazing what you can do with an Omega Estate.....

What a shame >:(

If you want a tent and are passing near Alton on the way (unlikely) you're more than welcome.

Sleeping in a car is not ideal. Even a nice Omega Estate.

We have a super tent, just can't be arsed to errect it in the rain!! We've got matress, and essentially a bed etc in the back of the Estate, SWMBO can sort out some form of curtains, and we'll be laughing!!!

I would have looked after the dog for you....trouble is the wife would kill me ......again.....and I'm running out of lives!

I would advise against sleeping in the car....its bloody cold and uncomfortable as the dam things dont breath like a tent does.

Having spent an uncomfortable night in the MV6 in a French layby (the year before the MV6 broke down in France) - long story based around not being able to find hotel - I can say its far from pleasant :(
