Christmas 2013 Meet up - who's in?

[DollyTwat]

Thought I'd start a thread to start the ball rolling.

We met last time at the Exemouth Arms in Leckhampton, so unless anyone has any other suggestions, we can do it there again. Happy to go somewhere else though.

Just need to know who wants to go, who wants food and then we can book a date. Yay!

I have never been in mumsnet local.
Do these threads appear in mumsnet normal active convos as well?

If not we may just be speaking to each other in hushed tones

I have no idea

is anyone there?

I think once we have a date I can set it up as a proper meetup
I'll text a few people, I don't want to look like Dolly no mates

I heard there was on offer!

Not sure what state I'll be in by Christmas - DD having a major op in late Oct, which then requires huge amounts of physio afterwards (at least 6 hours a week, preferably more) and trying to get a bolshy 4 year old to cooperate will be interesting.

I may be fast asleep by 7, or I may need IV and

Ruth!

That sounds bloody worrying though. You must be scared stiff. I really hope it goes well.

We will look after you though with vino.

We will look after you, you'll be in need of a break by then. A good laugh will be beneficial to your health

Oh look - I've got my Sunday best name on today!

Confused.

Waaah! I can't change my name! Anyone know how? I wanna be Galena again!

I have to email them and ask them to change me...

Have emailed, and now I need while waiting for me periperi chicken to arrive

I'm completely confused starting this thread on my laptop, it looks all different to on my iphone. And the cunting thing keeps defaulting to the local site which seems to be in a world of it's own

Oh hello you lot

Got text Dolly, I'm there. Will not be bloody driving either!

Yay! Pat there you are!
Ok it's shaping up - can you guys all dm or text the local vipers and see how many we can get

Galena! It's you!

Wondered who the fuck Ruth was.

This site looks ODD. Why is it mint green?

It is I, leClerk!

It does look very... green over here.

Still waiting to hear whether they'll change my name.

I think I used this name originally when I was fundraising for DD so I could list events we had coming up. Didn't realise it was a forever name!

Can't you change your name using that button down there?

Hang on I will give it a go

Oh well that didn't work

Does this come up in active convos on the real mumsnet?

Oh yes it does

Why doesn't that use a different nickname button work then?

Which 'different nickname' button?

Below the bit where you type your message, there are two buttons, one convert links automatically and one use different nickname.

It doesn't work in local (there is a stickied thread about it in local) but it does work on the main mumsnet site.

Why in the name of buggery bollocks have they set up the local sites as a completely different site? Why couldn't they just have a local bit within active convos? I will never use this because it's a pain in the arse.

I only have 'convert links automatically' :( Are you on one of those new-fangled eyepad things?

But I agree, this is a real faff so I won't be using it often!

Someone just told me it's on the mobile site, not the desktop, so that's why it's not there.

It's strange over here. Looks completely different doesn't it?

I feel like myself again!
