You could walk.

Walking = free. 'Though you may have to fuel up on star bars to keep you going, so there /is/ a minimal cost. But you could make each one more energy filled by using your charm to get them deep fried for free at local chippies.

Start now, and document the whole journey in a diary style to keep us entertained between now and the meat.

Well, it is very local to me, I'm only the one train station away from Leeds.

However, it does concern me that I'll be out and about in a local town with people I may not want to be seen with by other people who know me. There's some funny looking buggers on this forum :-Y

However, if PB turns up I'll be there with knobs on.

Can you put me down as a maybe.

Thinking might be able to convince Mel to take James to visit her sister in Leeds and come round.

*prod*

I auto stuck you on the maybe list, but confirmation would be a fine thing.
