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... 😉 ⛄❄🎄

I have, however, thought of a way to get Ica into the garden!

I'm really liking the sound of cake! (The wine goes without saying 😂)

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 24/11/2018 01:34

Will there be live blogging/updates for the benefit of those of us who can't attend? Grin

plumstone · 27/11/2018 13:59

Atomic - there is usually a running commentary on the thread till we are all pretty much too involved with Wine Cake Gin and general conversation - usually a bit of a lull then it starts again letting everyone know we are all home/on trains/on buses/ in bed!!!

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 28/11/2018 00:07

Haha, some of that can be very funny atomic, especially if you prod for gossip!

"I've just been sick on the bus" (not me)

"Where's my train?" (not me)

"I've just woken up on a train back to London" ( that was me!)

" I think my room mate went for a kebab, should I wait for her" ( when we used to really hang one on and stay the night, in hotels, with strangers!)

Oh, not just randoms, they were MN strangers!

Yes, I'm stirring because I can't come, flinking grandchild needs looking after.

He's very charming, he's 2, I could bring him Grin

atomicfission · 29/11/2018 09:09

Ha ha Bewitched well my DS is also two, so maybe we could have a splinter-group meet-up for those who can't sort out alternative childcare Grin

SweetBabyJebus · 29/11/2018 09:14

Woohoo, just two days to go!

Looking forward to seeing everyone.

And loving the mental image of BBB and atomic knocking back the wine and nattering as the two toddlers amuse themselves in softplay somewhere!

TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IcaMorgan · 30/11/2018 09:33

Will be booking my train later

BagelGoesWalking · 30/11/2018 11:47

Oh fuck it! Life has intervened...

A nephew of my OH's is in London and staying with DS. They want to come down tomorrow and stay the night. DD has decided to come back from uni as well to see them and us.

They can't do Sunday-Mon as nephew is going to Arsenal game on Sun afternoon.

Poo! I have a feeling that something similar happened when it was the last meet-up, it's a conspiracy! Have a wonderful time, you lovely lot and I'll have to enjoy vicariously online 😘

IcaMorgan · 30/11/2018 12:32

That’s a shame Bagel

DerelictWreck · 30/11/2018 20:42

Have any of you ever turned up and realised you know/know of someone else there?!

SweetBabyJebus · 30/11/2018 21:22

Not that I'm aware of Derelict!

Would be pretty funny tho... Grin

SageYourResoluteOracle · 30/11/2018 23:45

Just popping on to wish you all a brilliant time tomorrow- sorry I can't make it!

plumstone · 01/12/2018 08:02

See you all later!!

finnmcool · 01/12/2018 08:12

Woo hoo! Looking forward to seeing you all later.

atomicfission · 01/12/2018 09:54

Derelict similar to that - after several months of being in a MN antenatal group I realised I knew one of the others in RL. Obviously we'd both shared things we totally wouldn't have shared with each other in RL... Blush
