Quichey? Not at all, surely Shirley?

Honestly, I have no idea whi anyone here is...I just want to get pissed meet up with all you fabulous people

of course you can Shirley - send dosh to the address below

I have similar worries to Annie. No real objections if the majority are for it but i do worry it could cause people to feel uncomfortable

RAR!

Cash sent.

I'm officially coming.

Well I'm pretty sure the men would all band together and ignore us for for the rest of the night while we talk about mooncups ands stuff (that's what happens? Right? Not sure, not been to one before )

think its the what if no one talks to me , think ill have a drink or 2 first then wont care if no one does becuase I will just talk to them

If you bring partner chances are your talk to them rather than mix not anti men Or anti women covers both options
as there's fair few dads that post and yep they should be able to come

Im scared stiff of coming don't know any of you as such but in for a penny in for a double of what ever anyone else is having

I'd love to come, I have no friends to bring, and I don't know anyone on MN, but I am good fun!
Will someone talk to me?!!!!!

okay, looks like consensus is no DHs!

I might have another friend who would come.
It's not that I don't want to be in the venue by myself, because I'm good at socializing, it's just i'm a bit worried about travelling on the train back from London late at night (can't afford to stay over)

can we do twos or threes that are coming from the same area? seeker lives near me, but she doesn't want to come! (her DD is trying to persuade her, though!)

anyone coming up from Sittingbourne or en route?

I'm coming from east Herts to Liverpool street ,be. On the Cambridge or the stanstead express line .will probably come up lunch tine mid afternoon .

Not worried about getting round London do fair bit gadfing about there more nervours about walking in on my own

OK, I'm in. :)

would it be ok to pp at the end of the month?

I say no DH's! I'm sure me and Maureen would be happy to meet any nervous nellies beforehand so you don't have to walk in on your own. We come into London Bridge/Cannon Street. Last year we met some Mners at the Castle pub next to Farringdon tube and walked up the road en masse!

Top tip - don't drink too much too early ... ask the girl who slept through it!! Mentioning no names.... Cornsilk LOL

I don't really see why a DH would want to go along to a pub where his DW will be meeting peopel she talks to on the internet, getting drunk and talking about injokes.

I'm voting for name badges of MN names!

Kbear im up fpr walking in least wont feel so alone that or if staying in same hotel as some

Yes I think the Castle pub is the meeting place for quite a few of the early arrivals every year.
though yes, Cornsilk was alesson to us all

ok so no OH's but DADS on MN are more than welcome.....im sure there are a few of you lurking. we'd love to meet you all.

the spreadsheet of names is growing which is fantastic.

Payments are welcome asap but there is no rush for those who need to wait until payday or until they have made childcare arrangements etc.

don't feel you can't come just becuse you can't pay just yet

Going to meet complete strangers off the internet in a late night location I've never been to, whilst under the influence of alcohol?

Count me in!

Just sent the cash...

Trying to convince some friends who are lurkers to come as well, but otherwise it'll just be me on my tod. In which case mine is a very large one please, gulp.

payment recieved Lukewarm

can i remind people sending money via paypal to please mark them as a personal paymnet or gift please. Otherwise paypal charge 88p in fee's

thank you.

I thought I did do that, pretty sure I did? Sorry if I didn't....

you did Lukewarm don't panic.

I just like to remind people along the thread.
Most people are very good but there is the occasional forgetfull moment.

I would love to come , but I don't have paypal. How can I sort it?

I'll be paying tomorrow, sorry for the delay - car cost us a fortune this month so a little borassic.

Considering nobody has taken me up on the offer of a sofa bed for the night (I feel mortally wounded by the way ), I am contemplating joining you all at the hotel as well.

flossie if you email me at [email protected] i will reply with either bank details to transfer funds into or an address you can post a cheque/po.

Katya - no worries. Payments when you can. There is plenty of time
