Adoption threads Meet up in London Saturday 26 April

[KristinaM]

I'm in London -anyone up for a meal /drinks on Saturday night ?

Italian? Devora? Pheasant ? kewcumber? Other south east dwellers?

[Kewcumber]

We are all old Miracle. Don;t shock us too much, you may be performing CPR or alternatively we'll be knitting you a nice little cardi to keep you warm.

[Polkadotpatty]

Except I would forget what I was knitting halfway through

I may well be "very noticeable" due to tripping over something and landing in an ungainly heap. Still, it's a bit of free entertainment for you all.

What about FamiliesShareGerms?

Just tidying up for Devora (particularly as she left herself off......)

If you can't make it cross yourself out or add yourself and repost if you want to come.

[OurMiracle1106]

Unless you're as old as my dad would have been this year (84) I don't think your old and always remember your only as young as the man you feel!

[Kewcumber]

Oh good that means I'm still 40...

[OurMiracle1106]

so your still younger than my mum was when she had me! (she was 41, my dad 58)

[OneOfOurLilkasIsMissing]

Just here to laugh at the headwear

[OneOfOurLilkasIsMissing]

Ah Kristina, that balaclava is anyone's colour, you'd look absolutely gorgeous in it

[KristinaM]

I'm a cool colour person Lilka. I would indeed look lovely in it, but only in blue, red or purple. Perhaps a cool pink?

Shame I can't knit

[TulipsfromAmsterdam]

Just popped on to say hello to lilka - we are nearly neighbours.

Anyone else up in the North?

Have a great night :)

[OneOfOurLilkasIsMissing]

Hi Tulips

North East as well? Neighbouring county to me?

[OneOfOurLilkasIsMissing]

DD2 can knit

She can make you a cute bobbly rainbow striped thing which is shaped almost, but not quite, entirely unlike a balaclava

[OurMiracle1106]

I currently have my best friends little girl (she's 4) we've been ball pool, kfc for lunch (as a treat) and now we are painting ourselves gnomes and Easter eggs. She has decided she likes my house. Mummy came back to mine earlier and asked if I could have her a little longer to visit a friend in hospital (hospital is two bus stops from my house) and she's now left.

I miss doing these things with our miracle.

Im haBing great fun!!!

[TulipsfromAmsterdam]

Same county Lilka, close to the seaside :)

I would love to come, but I live up North, and it is the week before our matching panel (so I still feel like an imposter). I'm also extremely unglamorous and actually own a balaclava, although, to be fair, it's not yellow and I have never worn it out.

[HappySunflower]

I'm an hour and a half from London, so the journey is a little too long plus would cost me a small fortune in babysitting fees!

Hope you all have a lovely time- if ever any of you fancy meeting up with children, let me know.... Though I'd much prefer a grown up night out with wine and chatting......!

[MrsBW]

iamabit

It'll be about a week before our matching panel too!!

I never thought about being an imposter... I just decided to barge in oops!!

P.S. is anyone thinking about bringing their DH/DP or is this a girls' night?

[Meita]

I will over a week before panel, but that's approval panel, so I win! [in this who is the worst impostor contest]

[MrsBW]

Meita

[KristinaM]

No DPs I think. Even if your DP is a girl

[Devora]

I'm not bringing my dp. We are still a babysitter-free zone, so we only fly solo.

[MrsBW]

Good stuff!

Looking forward to it.

[OurMiracle1106]

I was just wondering whether a time/location had been arranged yet please.

And to ask roughly how much money I need to put away.

[Devora]

Ah, I'm sorry. I was in charge, but it now looks as though I CAN'T COME (I am not amused: dp, looking at you).

But I will follow up the suggestions I've received and try to find and book somewhere; then will hand over to someone else.

OurMiracle - this is London, gel, best sell your granny now. (But I will try to find somewhere affordable.)
