Is anyone interested in a Christmas do over in Bristol?

[MrsWembley]

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

I think there's a whole range of ages Jazz, don't be put off The more the merrier I think...

Happy Birthday Jazz! If it helps reassure you, I'll keep my boxing gloves at home?

You may find you need a break after moving house. I will only be having a glass or too (bfing here) so don't worry about that!

Happy birthday! Yes, I think we'll be all ages (I'm twice your age ancient, but I know not everybody is) so I wouldn't worry about that. Being knackered might be more of an issue. I think MrsW needs final numbers soon - maybe check with her?

Oh, and blondiefacedoll I think we went for the cheapest menu option in the end, so it's £12.95, of which £5 goes to MrsWembley as she's already paid the deposit, and the rest you pay to the Watershed. Plus whatever you want to spend on drinks.

See everyone on Saturday. I have threatened promised to bring Christmas crackers.

I'm not much older than you jazz. And can't have much to drink as have to bf when I get home. So don't worry about being the odd one out.

Jazz Absolutely, there's room for you. I deliberately booked a couple of extra places for late comers.

I am soooo looking forward to the weekend...

Exexpat cheers good to know numbers so can bring enough --to get merry-

Jazz I am only 23, so you will in no way be the odd one out! This time last year I was 22, pregnant and searching desperately for a house - so you will be in good company :)

I want to come and I'm 24, I will have to check a baby sitter first before I confirm but I really really want to come!

Can I make myself a bit involved in this? I tend to lurk mostly on here but would love to attend a Christmas do and meet some local Mumsnetters - was just wishing I could go to one (SAHM) the other day and feeling jealous of DH's, then I stumble upon this...

Where do I sign up?

Meercat Great that you managed to summon the courage to post! We'd all love you to join us.

Brandy Loving your Christmas name - reminds me I really need to think of one...

Oh, and for those still concerned about dress code (bookworm, I'm looking at you here), I will be wearing a dress because I wear jeans and a t-shirt/jumper all week.

But, if you wear a suit/smart stuff all week, you might prefer to put jeans and a top on.

And if anyone wants to come in fancy dress, that's allowed too...

Oh great, I'm excited! Although less so at formally having to introduce myself as "Merkin". Will there be official nametags of should I sticker myself up before I get there? so as not to have to introduce self as Merkin

I am truly excited for festivity and squiffyness, although I hope I don't have to namechange afterwards because I'm the one who was sick on herself a student.

So it's the Watershed, Saturday night from 7.30, £12.95 including the fiver to be slipped to you MrsW, and money for booze?

*OR

Ah ha....here you all are!
I have been so busy over on Local(trying to figure it out and make it good!) that I've somehow managed to completely miss this!
So sad, I would have loved to try and tag along but DD is turning 1 on Sat so having a little party to celebrate the fact that I am still standing..just
But just to say hope you all have a fab evening, sounds lovely,
and it would be great if we could organise something in the new year?

P.s I'm wondering how to entice you back to Local ?

am I too late? I'm a new mum & have no mum friends in Bristol really so wouldbe lovely to meet you all!

Oh wow, all coming thick and fast now! I need to update my list quickly.

I'll post something like a list later to make sure I've got everybody but, in the meantime, I might send out a couple of PMs to those who haven't confirmed absolutely.

I can't come, its the dc school disco that day

I'm still coming!

I'm sorry I now can't come. I have a funeral to go to next week which is going to cost a lot for fuel so I can't justify coming tomorrow as well :(

I have only just found this thread again! I lost it and I have other plans now I'm afraid. Really annoyed as would love a mumsnet meet up. Is there any way we can do a New Years meet up sometime too?

Do you still need the money mrswembley?

Oh it's quietninjatardis by the way!

Oh no, so sorry, just checking back and I've missed you off my list, shouldIbecrossaboutthis!!

Please don't feel shunned, you aren't, honestly...

Looking forward to tomorrow night, particularly as I'm stir crazy after a day spent with a poorly 3yr old draped over me!

Thanks for organising MrsW

Hiya Mrs W. I am normally BobblyGussets, but have done a Christmas name change. I have replied to your PM: I will see thee tonight.

Please excuse my appearance, I will have come straight from work. Well thats my excuse and I am sticking to it.
