Ahem, folks.

Your musical director here for the coach tour. Does anyone know who's organising the CFN itinerary because I've rather stepped out of role

I have asked another thread if we can crash their hen night - Saturday week I think. Try Toddzilla. I think we should go since it's a CFHEN to add to CFNeighbours and CFBuilders and CFParkers.

In short, a hen who wants to bring toddler along because it won't behave without her and DH can't cope with tantrums. So she, toddler and DH proposed the fancy hen barn sitting room to sleep in. So far the OP (organiser) has denied and bride has backed her up and discovered CFHen proposed bringing tantrum toddler to childfree wedding as well. Some talk about concerned parenting as well.

I have suggested we can glamp in a nearby field but they're all bringing pets as well, so add pets. May need an extra coach for our pets. Our DCs will also be well away from hen night unlike CFHen's toddler since other thread's visit to Hen Night involves masses of animals with their own rooms, cars and chauffeurs and all kids will like to cuddle down with the dogs, cats, elephant, giraffe, rabbits, goldfish, ferrets and polecats. I think there's a snake in there somewhere.

Let me know, and I hope we get a response from OP about what's going on

Well done Millie,
Am I too late to put in my vote for the shiny all singing all dancing coach rather than the old vintage one

socubatevira · 08/08/2017 15:54

@WhatIsThisWatt are you ok? Thinking about you xx

Tigerlovingall · 08/08/2017 15:55

"the planning dept were going to update watty on their enquiries yesterday,"

Thanks-I thought that there was supposed to be something happening!

RedheadinCamelFlarge · 08/08/2017 18:03

"SpanGran and the Wotsits!"

Band name?

Exactly, Marilyn. Happy to help Grin

MarilynWhirlwindRocks · 08/08/2017 18:20

millie,

Foxtrot is Route/ Logistics/ Loo Stops.

Though your...er...ambitious animal-based suggestions may need Noah and his Ark, perhaps? And snake billeted well away from the phobics me

Crashing a hen do will definitely appeal to some of our party hard lot.
Less rowdy MNers might prefer the campfire and your music/literary extravaganza...
Anyone practical interested in carving log seats/ arranging the lanterns/ flaming torches/ exotic textiles in the luxury yurts/ wood-fired hot tubs etc.?

We may even arrange a quid pro quo deal for an extra toddler to be entertained on our staffed-by-kindly-Nannies kids' fun bus(es), in return for something other than £, seeing as we're keeping everything FREE. (Best suggestion wins a stunt pineapple).

readyforno2, don't fear: flash modern coach(es) won main transport vote...with the vintage one(s) only for those who choose it/ them.

MarilynWhirlwindRocks · 08/08/2017 18:38

"...let's not forget that she's a real, live human, and has to work, eat, sleep, do grocery shopping, entertain SpanGran, have a social life, have hobbies, etc etc outside of this thread, yes? She doesn't owe us immediate updates."

Exactly, Betseylabetsey. Especially as its her own thread!!!
Mind you, I'm dying to hear how it went, when YOU are ready, Watty

taza87 · 08/08/2017 19:57

I've been silently lurking on all the threads. Just put DD down. DP away out for the night and was ready for a catch up on what I thought would be thread 11 by now.

Hopefully everything went well! Thinking of you watty!

Is there NEWS yet? I cannot sit on the edge of my seat for much longer without my arse falling off.

MarilynWhirlwindRocks · 08/08/2017 21:01

Vlad and Vanka to blame?

Watty/ SpanGran/ GTB hit the sangria again.
Made rash decision to hunt V & V down.
Ken possesses a very particular set of skills.
