Pretty much packed and ready to go on a BIG adventure!

Off in the morning to find a cottage in the middle of deepest darkest Devon ... (well, ok, it's just down the road from the Riverford farm shop. What's a girl to do? All that lovely organic nosh on yer doorstep ..). I digress ..

Saturday racing.

Sunday grockling

Monday, afternoon in Plymouth and then .. BIG .. !

Review to follow .. might not be immediate ..
Sounds like a really great long weekend break, Cat0, with the best bit coming at the end. Hope you have a wonderful time. Looking forward to reading your review.

Having spent over an hour on the phone yesterday trying to sort out which trains are running from where and when, and at which platforms they might arrive and then depart from, due to industrial action on Southern trains I will happily slap you. It did very scarily look at one stage as if I might have to cancel Saturday night, but a lovely young (I say young, he could have been 50 for all I know ) man on the assisted travel line has hopefully sorted out everything for me. I just need my train, and then the connecting one to Victoria to both go into the same platform at East Croydon and then I'll be OK. Everyone, please keep your fingers crossed for me between 1055 and 11.00 on Saturday.
Fingers and toes crossed, nelliek. Hope everything runs smoothly for you, and that you glide into Plymouth, feeling on top of the world. You're sure to love the show, as we all will: when we get to see it. Looking forward to hearing your news, afterwards.

Best wishes to everyone, going to Plymouth, for a perfect journey, comfortable stay, and a wonderful show.

Best wishes of all go to Jay, and all the cast, and crew of BIG. There's so much warm and excited support for them: I hope they know that.

Just de-lurking for now to thank you all for keeping this AT going and ofcourse for the wonderfull baby news from Aliona and Vin and BIG news from Jay. I am so glad Aliona and Jay are both so lucky and happy in their live afther Strictly.

I am sure the BIG goers will have a wonderfull time. Enjoyand report back ofcourse. I am still hoping I can go to the WE performance but money is a bit tight at the moment so I am not sure I can afford it.

I am watching this years Strictly but am not enjoying it much. I like Danny because he is good and seems a nice guy. Also like judge Rinder who can be a much better dancer I feel with better music and less facial expression. Also like Claudia, Greg and Ed. The rest is meh, boring and/or overmarked.

OT RaffertyCat I will go to Dr. Strange with my daughter and OH shortly. We also love Benedict and all the trailers I saw look amazing. Looking forward to it.

Wishing you all the best and a wonderfull time in Plymouth to those who are going there. I will hop of and on here but RL is so very bussy and demanding at the moment. Partly good and partly not so good but that is live for you.

De-lurking to say I will be posting snippets of my BIG experience tomorrow on my Twitter @janetnbecks, so those of you who don't want to hear my opinions can ignore.

I almost wasn't able to make it through illness but looks like I now will - with thanks to Speedy.

I would however very much appreciate it if any links to my photos could credit my Twitter account please as that is correct SM/Twitter etiquette. It saves me the bother of watermarking them.

Finally, on a public forum. I'll reiterate what made me leave in the first place. Everything on here is public. So please remember this week and especially tomorrow's performance of BIG, is a PREVIEW....anyone can read.

Enjoy.

Yes, safe journeys everybody! Really looking forward to hearing everybody's experiences. I just love that buzz just before the orchestra strikes up and the nerves are jangling behind the curtain. Jay said the atmosphere in the Strictly final was 'electric' but it will be nothing compared to Plymouth, I'm sure. They'll have a blast, and so will the audience.

Yes - who'd have thought when this thread started that so much would change in 14 months!
Exciting times and huge hope for the future, for both Jay and Aliona.

Hope everyone loves the whole experience of being there for Jay's first night!

Let's hope he remembers which routine goes with the white suit!

My sentiments too and to all that are lucky enough to be going all next week in Plymouth. I will be the first in the queue for tickets for the West End show fingers crossed👍
Seeing the white suit, now we know what Jay meant when he said he was getting fitted for suits for the show and some of them were a bit dodgy

A few too many people to multi-quote, but thank you everyone for your good wishes for those of us travelling tomorrow.

So pleased that you're going to be able to make it to Plymouth, jnb_7.

As for the white suit - I immediately thought of the waltz. Forgot about the Rihanna video.

Off to start packing.
Rail tickets, check.

Theatre ticket, check.

Hotel reservation, check.

Clean knickers to throw at stage . . . . .perhaps not, wrong sort of show.
(Besides which I can't aim for toffee so they would probably end up draped over the orchestra leader's head or baton.

Orchestral Maneouvres in the Dark

I'm sure that Sir John Barbarolli
Was never bedecked in lace trollies
Although it's likely that Henry Wood
Might have tried if he possibly could
And it's something that Bernard Haitink
Might dismiss as fangirliness high jinks
But when tossing the frillies with glee
Just take a small warning from me
And make sure that those undies don't drop
On the head of Miss Marion Alsop!
