Right-ho, we've been discussing this elsewhere but thought a seperate thread may be useful.

Concept was to have a sprog and non sprog meetup

Sprog - aquarium, thus far I think the best day was Monday, I know there are a lot of you 'popping' back to the UK back can we still manage May? I for one have no plans EVER.

Non sprog - Opera bar for a Saturday lunch again? When? First I could do is May 16.

Anybody fancy an (early) evening thing, also up for debate is the possible hunter valley trip? (thumb to be in charge)

What time are we thinking of for Sunday? (am trying to plan what we are going to do with our visitors when they are here, and am thinking that they can all go to Luna Park while I drink wine and eat yummy things if the timing works out ok!)

Shall we meet at Opera Bar at 12:30? That should give us plenty of time for lunch and Wine

Do we need to make a sign, or is everyone happy they'll recognise/has mobile number for at least one other person?

thumb do you have contact details for hfd and bats who seem to have disappeared from the thread, or should we just pm them to see if they're interested?

Eralc · 24/10/2011 03:13

That sounds fab bunny. I reckon I'll recognise people, but if there's anyone who hasn't been before, a sign might be a good idea :)

Thzumbazombiewitch · 25/10/2011 14:48

I do have contact details for HFD and will text her; but not for bats - good idea to PM her.

I think 12:30 or thereabouts is a good idea - seem to remember that's when I usually get there! Wink I will definitely train it in all the way I think - that way I can have a glass or two without worrying.

I have mobile contact for Eralc, Bunny, Abit, RVP, HFD and Sunnydelight (I'm pretty sure) - I think that's it. Will check my mobile in the morning (too lazy to go and find it at this time of night [hblush])

It's not Melbourne Cup weekend again, is it? I know it's actually on Tuesday 1st November but not quite sure how the whole thing works - just remember one meet up where loads of people were dressed in posh Ascot-style black and white clothes - that was for the Melbourne Cup, wasn't it? Anyway, I may be rambling so don't worry!

Thzumbazombiewitch · 25/10/2011 14:49

Perhaps we should come in Hallowe'en gear....

No, joking, honestly!

bunnygirl80 · 29/10/2011 09:17

Are we all still on for tomorrow?

From what I can tell from the list of attendees it's pretty much everyone from the last meet, so I doubt we need a sign.

Hopefully the weather stays as nice as it was today - I'm currently sitting in the garden waiting for DH to bbq my dinner. Grin

ninedragons · 29/10/2011 09:25

Have a lovely time - I am very sorry I won't be able to join you this time (got to find a birthday present for my dad) but perhaps next time.

Hope nobody is fucked by the Qantas grounding! I am a greedy greedy woman and have been considering if we should take the car out to the airport and start offering to drive people to Melbourne for 10 grand. Mumsnet members get mates' rates Grin

Eralc · 29/10/2011 09:40

I'm planing to be there tomorrow all being well! My inlaws are here at the moment, and are flying qantas - due to go to NZ a week today........

Thzumbazombiewitch · 29/10/2011 09:41

Well I'm certainly still on for it - hope everyone else is healthy and willing as well!
12:30 in the Opera Bar, yes?

Ohhh I am a bad bad person - I completely forgot to message HFD - have just done it but probably too late [hblush].

So we have:
me
bunnygirl
Eralc
Sunnydelight
maybe RVP
maybe Abit

Sorry to miss you again ninedragons - love your entrepreneurial spirit there though! Grin

Thzumbazombiewitch · 29/10/2011 09:55

Ahh just had a message back from HFD - she is going to a Hallowe'en party in the afternoon so can't make it, boo! Never mind!

abithormonal · 29/10/2011 10:51

I'm there see you tomorrow

Thzumbazombiewitch · 29/10/2011 10:55

Excellent! Just RVP who's in the wind then, probably out on the town right now having a good time! Hope her head's ok in the morning Wink

redvelvetpoppy · 30/10/2011 01:31

Arrgh...all dressed & ready to go at 11:15 & spanner flings itself into the works...[hshock] [hangry] [hsad]
Hope you all have a fab time, lots of Wine & will definitely make it next time [hsmile]

Thzumbazombiewitch · 30/10/2011 06:42

Sorry you missed it, RVP!! hope you got the thing sorted out.

Sunnydelight - whatever happened to you? [hconfused].
[hsad] to have missed you.

We had a lovely time, very convivial - and should do it again soon. Definitely before Eralc has to go back to the UK next March.

sunnydelight · 30/10/2011 10:50

I am so sorry - I completely forgot Blush - for some reason I didn't put it on the calendar. I'm not usually so crap but I am ragingly hormonal at the moment and my memory is shot! Glad you all had fun, nex time.........
