London Winter Meet Up

201 replies

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... 😉 ⛄❄🎄

Don't be daft erinaceus this is not my event in the slightest, I am merely a facilitator! And yes, you are totally setting yourself up!

We will walk you through it Dontwalkaway Wink

Grin Looking forward to it SBJ.

@Dontwalkaway I am a Londoner so I’ll be on home turf(ish), and a second-time MN Meetup attendee. Upthread I volunteered to keep an eye out for the first timers (MN meet-up virgins) as I remember how nervous I was when I attended the previous time. I knew no-one from MN IRL before I arrived. I’d trust SBJ that your safe arrival will be assured.

Not long to go now!

If I have more than one large G&T I get silly so I tend not to drink much but still get silly I also have to hoof off fairly early as I have 3 dogs that need feeding buggers

FruSkogKattOla · 09/11/2018 15:42

I'll add my name to the list, if I may, for a PM of the venue - still not sure whether I can make it though - I might have to turn up at the last minute?!

DerelictWreck · 10/11/2018 21:08

Yey I would like to join please!

I couldn't make the last one as I suddenly had to work on St Paddy's day.

I'm 27 and childless but don't really know many people in London so hoping this would be a great place to start?!

Hello, hello!
I'm afraid I can't make it- tidying up the school fair from the night before by day then at a massive child-free house party by night! Have a brilliant time everyone GinGlitterball[santa]CakeStarWine

SweetBabyJebus · 11/11/2018 20:32

That's a pity Sage, enjoy the party though, sounds great!

Welcome aboard Derelict. 27 and childless works fine!

Bagel and Hearts added to the PM list...

Hello, a question from a virgin about "how it works"...

Is it a child-free get-together? Unfortunately I'll need to bow out gracefully if that's the case, as I'll have the toddler with me that day.

Has this already happened? If not, can I have some info? Thanks

marriednotdead · 14/11/2018 00:47

@atomicfission It's definitely not a suitable environment for kids, more an option to escape from them for the afternoon/evening and have a lively few hours drinking and nattering.

For the lightweights/newbies who are nervous, I don't drink alcohol and I'm not usually the only sober one!

Anyone for Cake?

@Davros it’s the 1st December and normally starts around midday and ends around 11pm. People will join in for anywhere in that time frame (or you could be like myself and @finnmcool and be there for the whole time), if you decide to come put your name on the list (copy and paste it then add your name) and you will get a PM with the venue on it from SBJ at some point

IcaMorgan · 14/11/2018 09:11

You should know you don’t need to ask about the cake @marriednotdead, the answer will always be yes

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 14/11/2018 19:42

Did someone mention cake??

Could I add my name too? I would hope to be able to make it but probably won't know until nearer the time and once location is known? I'm not an actual virgin but haven't been to an Xmas meet up since the days of mamazon and psycho and flame which was a very long time ago!!

have the PMs been sent out???? I have not got one, I feel unloved and completely rejected, I may cry, and that makes me ugly, which makes me cry even more, and then its an ongoing problem that I can't break......

cake? would that me a "married's cake" in which case the crying has stopped and i'm over it!! Grin

IcaMorgan · 15/11/2018 09:16

Don’t worry @plumstone I haven’t got a PM either, I’m sure she’ll send them soon (I hope so anyway as I need time to work out an accessible route to get there)

SweetBabyJebus · 15/11/2018 09:49

Sorry guys, wasn't trying to be all cryptic or anything, just super distracted with RL right now.

Anyway, all pm's will be sent today when I can get to my pc.

Gin Glitterball Wine Cake Woop!

SweetBabyJebus · 15/11/2018 13:55
