yayayayayayy!!!

I will (hopefully) send mine on monday, have booked our room. im coming down with dh and ds on the friday, doing a spot of sight-seeing (read: Natual history museum to see dinosaurs) then locking them in the hotel on the saturday night. we are staying at the fitzroy in the west end. it was the cheapest we could get for 2 nights all 3 of us.

ok, scrap that, we are cancelling that hotel. reviews are beyond shite.

thats a lovely idea to make a whole weekend of it LOGK

well, larnden is such a long way away it just seemed to make sense. think we shall probably be staying at the premier inn now.

ok, room reserved. we are staying at London Euston premier Inn. £207 for 2 nights.

not too bad for the whole family.

So impressed by the effort you are making to come.

hope people are takling notes

will be great to meet you

and you, I am sooo excited!!

just to let you all know that i will be away for a week as of tomorrow.

payments can still be made as usual.

any questions please email me at

I won't be able to check MN but i can check emails from my phone.

absolutely you can

DP was most upset when i said i was considering getting the hotel. he looked all sad and said "do you not want me to drive you then?"

I broke my phone too so have lost a load of numbers. i'll facebook you mine and you can text me yours or vice versa.

haha. just try not to offer to pay him in kind this year, it don't half ruin it for when i make him run me to asda

Have finally paid!

sorry do we know any more about group booking for hotel or do i need to book now before i lose my nerve run out of money to book just if i paid for hotel then im fresh out of reasons not to come

but rather be in same hotel as other people so have company to stagger walk back with

In a fit of enthu+siasm I've just ordered 100 name badge thingies off eBay. So I guess that means I'll be volunteering to make badges!

I'll do a badge with MN name for everyone on the list.... unless anyone specifically asks me not to. Than you can decide yourselves whether to wear them or not.

Val - did they not offer a better price for a block booking?

Prices seem to have gone up since I last looked. Should we not get booking? Here's a list of people who have expressed an interest in staying over:

If we can get a couple more people, we could book 10 double rooms, which would get us a group booking 20% discount.

Val, are you still up for organising the hotel or should we make our own arrangements?

If we don't hear anything in the next couple of days, should we just shout out for room-buddies (2 or 3 to a room) and book at the Kings Cross Travelodge?

i am staying at london euston premier inn!

How far a stagger is that from the pub?

its just over a mile, so a 20 min walk. not far from the kings cross hotel though.
