Is anyone interested in a Christmas do over in Bristol?

[MrsWembley]

If so, let me know and we can arrange something.

WooHoo, its tonight!!! Unfortunately Im now gonna be driving so wont get to annoy you enthrall you all with any drunken ramblings!

Now looks unlikely I'll be coming. Been in children's hospital with DD all morning.

Are we going to have a corner we can be directed at or just turn up and look for a bunch of women who may or may not be wearing MN scarves hopes I'm not first I don't have one

I believe (and MrsWembley can correct me if I'm wrong) we have been allocated the slightly raised area at the far end of the bar/restaurant - if you know the Watershed, the bar is sort of in two sections, and to reach the far end you step up onto a sort of low platform area, partly enclosed in some kind of railings. But basically watch out for a group of loud women. And there may be Pombears and Christmas crackers.

(and I don't even know what an MN scarf looks like)

MN scarf? There is such a thing? Will be there in my newly bought glad rags (really didn't have anything to wear so had an emergency trip to Outfit this pm).

I expect you all to be suitably impressed (haha)

Thanks.

This is the bunny apparently ... leave and learn, live and learn.

omg omg omg

I honestly did not put on that last message!!! I put !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bloody new iphone app, the smileys look really odd. Only reason I can see the difference now is coz I'm just checking the thread on my laptop.

I did think that was a bit of a harsh smiley to have put! As I said a new year meet up for those who can't do tonight would be fab? I really want to come but I just can't now. Have a fabulous time and enjoy the and

I have reported my post.

I cannot, in all conscience, let that stand.

Sorry, I'm out. Going to be taking myself off to the walk in doctors instead when I am not in too much pain to stand up, suspected PID (AGAIN. I don't even do bumsex so it's really unfair). Have fun everyone, I hope to meet some of you in the future.

Have a great time all. Getting out of here tonight is looking less likely with every hour that passes. Bloody kids ruining my social life...

Sink a gin for me

Ahhhh I am so SAD!! DH went on his Christmas Do last night and got bloody effing food poisoning and is still feeling in his words 'rough' and I'm not sure about leaving my littley with him if he's not well...

:'( so so

Can we have a New Year pick-me-up meet please. I so desperately wanted to meet you all!!

Mrs W if you still need the deposit please dm me Xxx Blondie

Sorry but DD been ill and shared the bug with me. Gutted emoticon.

Just setting out now so will be late but save a morsel or two for me!

Just got velcro insomniac toddler with temp of 102 to doze off for a bit and have snuck out to message you. Looks like my night out is banjaxed

..... and I'd found something dressy to wear and evereeeything [sulk emoticon]

Hope you have an amazing evening and yes, a New Year's night would be brilliant.

ps All you folks who HAVE managed to get out tonight - don't forgot to spill the beans and 'share' the gossip online afterwards with the rest of us!

(MrsW - let me know how you'd like the deposit sent on to you, I'm presuming it's better sooner rather than later. If there's no rush then I can always bring it to book club.)

Thanks for organising Mrs W. A splendid do. If only I were not so old I would have stayed much longer. But I think I ate far too many of the things on sticks and the pointed accusatory stares were becoming too much... I hope everyone had a similarly lovely time and got home ok.

that was nice thank you MrsWembley! (hic)

Good to see everyone and meet lots of new people this evening, and commiserations to all those of you stuck at home with vomity/feverish small people. Maybe we should do another Bristol evening get-together at a less Gerry time of year?

In the meantime, for those who expressed an interest, this is the book group thread. Suggestions welcome for venues for the Jan 14th meeting (somewhere south of the river? Tobacco Factory has been mentioned as a possibility) and for a book for February.

Aaargh iPad autocorrect - of course I meant germy not Gerry.

I wana do book club! Can't do 14th as dd's birthday but I'm definatly in next time!

Sorry I missed this. Pm me next time? I still feel the need for a night out. (Considering book club but already in one and may struggle to read that much!)

Thanks for the night: it was ace and so nice to meet you all. I dropped MrsWembley off from the taxi and saw her staggering away into the distance. I want to know if she is home ok. Ok Mrs W? still living the dream I hope. Have a couple of ibuprofen and a big glass of water, you'll be fine. A big thank you for organising tonight.

Exexpat: another meeting around New Year would be good. I am definitely up for it.

Home now.

Lovely time had by all, now I just need to know everyone got back safely.
