EXCITING NEWS !!!!!!!

[karl]

Marian I hope you tell us your good news soon, with recent events we could do with some good news.

Me too---I will not mention the leaking garage which is still ongoing.

But I can now tell you my amazing news. I have a Fairy Godmother who has managed to get 2 front row seats at the o2 arena in London to see Johnny Mathis in April. She has also managed to get us booked into the same hotel in Greenwich that all our other friends are in, which has been booked up for ages, but Frances--who could talk for England--or maybe Scotland--spoke to them, and they were so impressed at her enthusuiasm, and the fact she was coming down from Scotland, they managed to find us a room with a bed and a sofa bed. I have a feeling we may not be doing much sleeping anyway, but more talking , drinking, reminiscing etc etc etc. I am ecstatic to know I will be seeing JM again, along with my special friend Frances, and all my other lovely Mathis friends , most I have not seen for many years.. What more can I say-I am just so excited !!!!

So very pleased for you.You deserve some luck with all bad stuff that has been happening to you lately.

[mariana44]

Thanks Sandra and John--you will hear all about it in due course--like it or not !!!!!

Marian I am pleased for you, it's obviously given you a lot of excitement.

I was thinking you'd won the lottery, been left something in a will, won a cruise etc etc!

That is wonderful news for you Marian, I bet you are very excited. It is good you managed to get booked in a hotel with all your friends too.
Do you remember when we stayed at the Travel Lodge a few years ago for the Matt Monro meet up, and we got told off for talking too loud in the reception.

[Eman]

ABFAB is all I can say Mariana..hope you have a splendid time and of course please post photos on FB.

[Marian]

Wonderful news for you Marian! I can see why you were so excited. I had a feeling it was connected to Johnny Mathis in some way. Not a long time to wait either. Lovely that you will see all your Mathis friends too

[Lena & Harry Smith]

I guessed it when I mentioned April and your answer was ... no comment Marian I had looked up JMs concerts and saw Three dates in April, and Gray probably thought the same, but that's brilliant. You are going to have a lovely time meeting up with your JM friends again, and ... Front row seats too.
We all know what it means when we are going to see our favourite singers. Don't forget your camera. !!

Hmmm, can't take you MM fans anywhere without causing a riot, can we?

[mariana44]

~Thanks everyone---I knew a few of you might have guessed what my exciting news was. Yiou can be sure you will hear all about it.

That is absolutely fabulous news, Marian. My guess was that you were getting an audition slot on Britain's Got Talent. Front row seats for Johnny Mathis and being with all your friends is much better! I would love to see the set list; you usually take very good notes, but there may be too much excitement.

I had forgotten about that incident at the Premier Travel Inn, John. Yes, we were all excited about the first Fans Reunited and Matt Jnr concert and didn't want to retire to our rooms! So we thought we'd chat about the day's events in the small lobby -- until we were thrown out. Marian will have a lot of fun with her friends in the Greenwich hotel.
