Hello!

Seeing as we haven't had one since the spring, does anybody have the appetite for a London Christmas/Winter Meet Up?

I can promise Gin and a laugh!

Just sticking the feelers out... 😉 ⛄❄🎄

I'm in for the 1st! Fabbo!

erinaceus · 23/10/2018 15:33

Ty for the heads up @SweetBabyJesus, I’m in. I’m facing divorce in the new year actually so really need lots of things in the calendar this festive season to keep me from feeling lonely. I’ll aim to be there.

Thanks SBJ

Can't commit until the last minute but 1st Dec. sounds good.

Thanks for the PM SBJ. 1st is trickier for me than the others, but possibly doable.

SweetBabyJebus · 23/10/2018 18:56

Sorry to hear that erinaceus Flowers, we will do our best to lift your spirits!

Thrilled to get the pm. No longer Raindrops. Would love to come but can't do 1st or 15th.

December is sooo busy I wonder if January would be better. Hearts and I once organised a v impromptu deep midwinter meet because we were fed up and needed booze. MrsSchadenfreude and LRD came and INeedMoreSleep and two or three others. It was grand.

I hope you all have a lovely time and enjoy.

With love to all x

Thanks for the prod Ica, 1st is only likely date that I can do.
Will email a day off request into work now and see where it gets me...

erinaceus · 23/10/2018 23:43

Ty @SweetBabyJesus That would be kind of you. I had a laugh last time and look forward to this get together.

atomicfission · 24/10/2018 00:57

Ooh may I join the virgin corner?

BookShop · 24/10/2018 01:01

Count me in. Couldn’t make the last one due to an emergency the day before. ☹️ Looking forward to a meet-up, haven’t been to one in ages. 😀

Leeds2 · 24/10/2018 01:45

Could do the 8th.

erinaceus · 24/10/2018 01:57

I’d happily host in the virgin corner. I was one the last time and appreciated how welcome I was made to feel.

Depends on the details of time and place that are settled on, but will do my best to be there.

marriednotdead · 24/10/2018 19:45

Well I've got Saturday 1st approved so crossing fingers that it's the chosen date!

SweetBabyJebus · 24/10/2018 20:26

Yay, we've got quite a group going now!

Of the 18 or so on the thread so far, 8 have expressed a preference for Saturday 1st, 4 for the 8th or 15th and 6 who didn't mention a preference either way.

Do we go ahead so, and lock in the 1st?

Anybody else want to weigh in?

I’d say lock in the 1st then just need to decide where

erinaceus · 24/10/2018 22:12

1st works for me, no preference in general. The thing I had signed up for on Saturdays in December just got cancelled so I’m at a loose end flexible.

finnmcool · 24/10/2018 22:12

1st is all good for me Grin

OhTheRoses · 24/10/2018 22:34

I'll be thinking of you all.

atomicfission · 24/10/2018 23:04

Thanks erinaceus, much obliged 

1st works for me.

erinaceus · 25/10/2018 04:44

NP @atomicfission see you then.

finnmcool · 25/10/2018 10:14

erinaceusI've got images of you holding a big Virgins this way sign! Grin
We don't sacrifice virgins btw Grin

erinaceus · 25/10/2018 10:24

Good idea. I remember feeling nervous last time. We talked about name badges with user names on, using sticky labels and markers. Will these be a feature? One downside of my offering to host the virgins is that I am no good at all at names and faces. Maybe I am the wrong person for the job?

finnmcool · 25/10/2018 13:23

Labels could be a feature, I'm sure we've had them before. I'll raid the pound shop.

atomicfission · 25/10/2018 13:30

Ok as long as I don't have to wear a label saying "Virgin" 

SweetBabyJebus · 25/10/2018 13:55

Ok as long as I don't have to wear a label saying "Virgin"

Nah, no label, we just point and chant 'VIRGIN' in unison whenever you walk around, atomicfission.
