I can't come. 
I'm really very sorry, but my childcare plans have fallen through - due to needing another minor stay in hospital at the end of the month, we need the time then. I'm sorry to let you down, I was looking forward to coming back up there and seeing everyone. Maybe next time!

I am afraid not. Unfortunately there is some family stuff that I cannot get out of.

Final hearing for my Mum's divorce on Monday and I need to give her some support over the weekend. I feel I can say that as it has been played out on h2g2 enough times particularly at the start.

Mrs V's mother needed a lot of support when her divorce came through... she could barely stand after all that champagne.
