I don't know I'm afraid, but this is the first I've heard of it and it sounds interesting!

I'll be so disappointed if there are not subsequent meetings, Elephant!

Yes, everybody come. It'll be like MN only with wine and cake - what's not to love?

I expect we'll be easy to identify. We'll be the drunk ones stuffing ourselves with cake and poking men with sharp sticks...

Actually, how the heck are we going to work out who people are? We need a sign.

Well I know how you like making things, treacle...

I've got an elephant but it's very small.

But I have to make banana bread! I can't do a sign too, am not wonder woman...



Perhaps I could hold the banana bread up on a stick?

Actually, I could print off a sign now. And we could just prop it up on the table.

DaisyHayes · 02/06/2011 13:16

Ok, who's bringing what?

Daisy - Stickers, felt tips, wellies

Treacle - banana bread, a sign

Elephants - a small felt elephant

Everyone - righteous zeal

Please add to list as appropriate.

Thanks dittany - it was great :o

No idea if it's the first one, hopefully the first of many if so!

It was ACE!




So, y'know, even more of us should come next time. We have a mascot copy of The Female Eunuch and everything.

There wasn't strictly speaking banana cake, because Treacle's oven didn't manage to cook the bloody thing in time for the meeting, and I convinced her that no-one should have to miss a feminist meeting for baking.

But, er, I had some just now and it was really nice... :o

Didn't have to get the tube actually - walking distance for quite a few of the people who went, which was great.

Really excited about the next one! More people!

Actually, we're considering throwing Treacle out of the group due to the no banana cake issue.

Sparky - where were you?

Report
steamedtreaclesponge · 03/06/2011 11:18

Sad

That's it. I'll have to turn in my badge as a woman due to lack of baking skills.

Next time I will make it the day before!

On the plus side, this does mean that I now have a loaf of banana bread all to myself (that is, if Elephants doesn't scoff the whole thing before I get to it...)

The meeting was brilliant. I keep wanting to get the tube just so I can put stickers on all the sexist ads! When are we doing the next one?
