Do I know anyone in London who wouldn't mind me crashing on their sofa on the 3rd of November?

I've got someone important-ish I need to meet up with on the 4th (Sunday), but the only way I can afford to get to London and meet him is to piggyback it onto an unavoidable Saturday lunch with my father, because he'll pay for me to get to that

Well, we're a bit outside London itself, but you're more than welcome to crash with us. I'm running a quiz on the Saturday night, but hey, you can always join us for that. We can probably run you into London on the Sunday too, so all you really need to worry about then is getting a coach up to Hemel on the Saturday.

That sounds very promising! :D

Don't suppose you have the faintest clue how to get from London to Hemel Hampstead by public transport? :p

(Also, I wouldn't normally ask but would it be okay to mooch food off you a bit? I'm really sorry and I'll pay you back sometime, but I'm flat broke. D: )

Coach is the best way of getting to us - and by far the cheapest at only a tenner. I'll get Sarah to confirm the exact details, but there are a couple, the 758 and the 759, leaving from various places in London (Victoria Coach Station is probably the easiest, but there's also Marble Arch, Oxford Street, and Baker Street). If you're unlucky, it'll terminate at Hemel bus station. If you're lucky, it'll take you to the Tesco that's just round the corner from where we live. :-)

Food? Yeah, I'm sure we can manage that. Given the number of times you've put up with us put us up, ensuring you don't starve is the least we can do.

Sweet! I'll get back to you when I'm certain what's going on - the bugger I'm meeting on Sunday not seems determined to drag me to a costume party on Saturday night, so I'm basically waiting to find out if he has a floor I can crash on. And since the sod's on holiday in Portugal, it's all a matter of sporadic email.

I swear, when I replied yesterday I had NO IDEA he would set his little dorky heart on this party. :p

(Sorry! I am a total wishy-washy arsehole right now.)

Looks like you're sorted, but I'm in St Albans at the mo, living with my mum (argh) which is like, twenty minutes from St Pancras by train. Just in case :)

Thanks! I might end up taking you up on that, actually - dude I'm meeting on Sunday is trying to drag me to a fancy-dress party on Saturday night, and if he succeeds I have no way of getting to Hemel Hampstead afterwards. :p

(Sorry for being so utterly, unhelpfully vague - these plans are being slowly pulled together, over email, with a guy currently in bloody Portugal. For all I know, the next email might be him offering me his sofa after the party.)

If you ever need to be in Dorset, hit me up for sleeping space. :D
