Right at the moment I'm alternating between being so excited I could burst and feeling so scared by it all that I physically want to throw up.

Jackie, whats to loose? We have a bigger mortgage but we do not borrow money, so, other t han the mortgage we don't own anything, if we did not get any trade we have our dogs and each other, I suppose the sad thing would be if we could not afford to look after the dogs, they are our family....We would be happy living in a tin hut as long as it was somewhere private and rural!!! Don't worry just ENJOY!!!! P.S we see that our dogs bring us so much pleasure, I bet yours do toooooo!

You are quite right Jackie It's on it's off it has been on the go ages ABP built a new bit on last it is known as the HIT (Humber International Terminal) inside the gates.I'm sure it was put into service in 2002. It is proposed to have a £35 million pound Ro-Ro terminal outside the gates on the riverside It seems to be stood just now  The Immingham cargo facility in and out was their best ever last year.I don't know the figures for Hargreaves and CPL coal handling but I  will ask David and Simon if it mentioned it in the Docks magazine but its a lot there is nearly always a ship on.
