Slubber I heart your photos. I am in awe of your packing skills.
Hope tent drying, unlike my washing it won't go in tumble drier if not finished.

I have spent a happy while shaking damson trees to wobble the rest off for gin.

Given that today is Sunday and I have papers, warm banana bread and tea, I have been mainly bleaching out cupboards and dusting, washing voile curtains, etc. What madness is that?

In pub garden drinking bitter whilst dh and ds exploring the garden. Wearing sunglasses in the warm sun pretending it's summer. Love for-old-times'-sake days like these. Hoping you've got similar weather in the end for tent drying Slubber and just enjoying the rest of you. Am in happy place. :)

Gorgeous pics Slubber, what an amazing sky.

Just been to Chatsworth and the weather is lovely, hope it's drying that tent out Slubber.

scaryt · 18/09/2011 14:15

Am really enjoying zipping about in my new car.

Can't believe I haven't posted since Thurs!!! We have had friends staying last night but can't imagine what I was doing irl on Friday that was more important than you lot! Workign till about 9pm but home after. Anyway off to catch up...

Welcome back Slubber! Pmsl at bunting on your house! [grain]. Nice one brambles Grin. How were the death socks? Lovely to hear all about your camping experience. Totaly get that you felt like imposters in among all the permenant pitches. Have to say I actively avoid sites like this for this very reason but the facilities sound appealing it has to be said!

'My man Tony from Skoda came to look at my crack ' GrinGrinGrin [grain]

Liking the sound of Lake Bala for meetup next year although no idea where it is other than Wales! May BH sounds good to me?

'Stoke on Trent. Hmm. It's hardly Monte Carlo is it?' pmsl at this! Superb notwaving Grin. I would LOVE to do Christmas meetup. I already have a weekend away booked 11th-13th November so can't do that one but other than that no plans. So please please don't make meetup on 12th!!! Regards Chester vs london its probably as easy to get to either but London v expensive to stay. I'd be happy with whatever the majority verdict is. Would also offer to put you up in Newcastle (loads of space if people were happy to crash in together) but its probably a bit out of the way for most...

Pmsl at images of me running around in scrubs shouting for adrenaline! Mostly my on calls involve seeing a whole load of patients who aren't really that poorly and lancing abscesses on peoples bottoms. Not so glamarous then!!!

Have admittedly skim read most of thread after meetup chat after I got very very excited about meetup! Off to pm you notwaving Smile

YellowDinosaur · 18/09/2011 17:13

Just realised I have a university reunion on 26th Nov too so that would be best avoided... Sorry ladies!

Slubberdegullion · 18/09/2011 17:24

Ok so two new private photos should now be available for viewing by my special private mn mates. Why there is a private-private choice in the drop down selection is a bit boggling. Why would I want to store my own photos on mn that only I could look at?

Tent is sprawled all over dining room table and is now only moist rather than sopping.

Yellow, notwaving will make a mark in her spreadsheet re lack of commitment to the thread. Work and rl friends are both rubbish excuses.

scaryt · 18/09/2011 17:44

Slubber your girls are gorgeous. The alps are rather amazing aren't they.

scaryt · 18/09/2011 17:44

Now to work out how to PM. I've never been so involved on MN.

scaryt · 18/09/2011 17:46

Erm, don't know how to. Am I being monstrously thick? Hmm

Slubberdegullion · 18/09/2011 17:47
Slubberdegullion · 18/09/2011 17:48

Scary. Show me the compliment and I'll tell you how to PM

Slubberdegullion · 18/09/2011 17:50

And make it believable or you'll get nowt

notwavingjustironing · 18/09/2011 17:52

Find one of my ropey posts (any will do) look on the right hand side of the line with my name and click on "message this poster". Then create your message and send it to Norman me. Job is then , as they say, a good 'un. Grin

notwavingjustironing · 18/09/2011 18:06

Soz

Beautiful girls Slubber and yer not bad yerself

And, young Yellow, what makes you think that you're entitled to a life ?

We can only do the 12th, I think as once we are into December stuff happens. And I want you to come.

SeaShellsInTheMoonlight · 18/09/2011 18:07

Shock ok, just checke out Chester-4.5hrs by car or 7hrs by train (and £100) Shock Shock with 3 changes...

Slubberdegullion · 18/09/2011 18:14

yy that is acceptable thank you Smile

Am I meant to be PMing you? i've forgotten what I'm meant to be telling you.

We ALL have to come. That is imperative. There are only 9 or 10 of us. if nov is out then it will have to be Jan. We can have an Epiphany meet up.

notwavingjustironing · 18/09/2011 18:14

I've kind of resigned myself to London on 12th but am easy fnarr fnarr.

If you all pm me with an email address you are happy for us all to know then I will do a group email and we can fight it out there.

But it IS going to happen.

YellowDinosaur · 18/09/2011 18:16

Slubber you and your girls are all beautiful. Please can you now erase nasty comments in the spreadsheet about me?

how about last weekend in Oct? PLEASE NOT 12TH!!!!

Slubberdegullion · 18/09/2011 18:16

And I'm just going to get in now and say I can't do the Whit May BH as we always go camping with mates on the Lleyn that week.

Sorry.

V excited about Downton too Seashells. Love a bit of period drama.

YellowDinosaur · 18/09/2011 18:18

cross posted - Jan would be fine with me too and actually nothing on in Dec but understand about people being busy with Christmas stuff...

Slubberdegullion · 18/09/2011 18:19

Am loving beautiful

Black mark duly scrubbed although that is on my spreadsheet. Notwaving is a hard spreadmaster.
