Belgian Christmas Meetup - who is definitely coming?

[Portofino]

As things get booked up before Xmas, I thought it would be a good idea to confirm everyone's attendance and ensure we get a good table.

The meet up with take place at La Serenata in Zaventem at 8pm on Saturday 18th December.

So can you please let me know, on here, via PM or email/FB, whether you will definitely be coming along. Any thoughts on negotiating a fixed price menu, or would you prefer to choose on the night? The menu is on the website.

I am looking forward to seeing/meeting you all!

Kreecher, I can certainly put you up too. I have friends staying that weekend, but I am putting them in the attic and still have a spare room. (our house is a bit Tardis like). Up to you what you would prefer to do....I can guarantee bacon sarnies and much coffee and marlboro lights in the morning....

DF will come along with us - she is not a frequent MNetter apparently but she has been on from time to time, so I told her she is more than welcome to come along. Hope that is OK? The DH's are on babysitting duty. I expect there will much beer consumed and avid MOTD watching going on.

me me I'd love to come! Have been totally pants at being in touch since moving here in September but now we've got a house and have started to unpack I might have time to sit down and switch the laptop on. Looking forward to meeting you all.

More than welcome CharltonChick, we are getting quite a good crowd together!

Wish I could join you all for the film tonight.
Have fun ladies!!
(I try to keep the heckling and popcorn throwing to a minimum! )

sorry, that should have said 'and' not 'I'.

It was good last night, thank you so much for the lift Longtime!

Table is booked! Expecting 10 of us I think.....ScaryTeacher - are you coming?

Only one week to go! I am excited!

Me too [don't get out much]

Me, now I know it's Saturday and not Friday (silly mare). However, this does mean missing the Strictly final .

Oh no! You can tape it though.....

Kreecher. Do you still plan to stay with Longtime, or shall I find you a corner at mine?

Can't stay overnight, we are going to England the next day. Whoo. First christmas in the Uk for eleven years. DD has never had one and she is uber excited. She is off school poorly sick today and driving me bonkers.

I've just messaged Portofino, I am not going to be able to come tonight . We had a really big dump of snow overnight and we absolutely have to get the ferry tomorrow or our Christmas plans will be all tattered and torn.
Sorry, will try to make the next one.

Am wondering if it might be better to reschedule!
