I don't imagine anyone will be driving ... but the trains are great and go on until late.

I'm hoping for a bit of company on the way home.

Yes Noddy. Although a hotel is a tempting idea, I have to get home for 7 month old.

If I am going by train I will def travel back with you.Have you been to any of the meet ups yet?It is great fun and the Brighton crew are all lovely

starlover · 29/09/2005 11:04

there are some people on the christmas meet thread who are booking a hotel. I think it's £25 if you wanna share a quad room, or £35 for a twin

I think I'd be stretching dh's patience if I were to stay over.

No noddy I haven't been to a meet up yet. I find the idea a bit scarey tbh. Perhaps this will be a baptism of fire.

Look forward to meeting you all anyway.

Bwaaaack bwak bwak bwak bwaaaaack!

I know what you mean starlover. I keep scanning the guest list and thinking, 'Hmmm. We've had cross words in the past. And I know for a fact that one disapproves of me.'

That said though I think it'll be a total blast and if I don't go I'll feel very jealous of those who did.

oh yeah there will be SO many people there that you can easily avoid the ones you clash with on here!

i think it harks back to school and stuff... being scared of being in a room full of people i don't know.

i have met up with noddyholder, pinkmama and desperatehousewife in brighton
and also lockets... so at least i'll kinda know some people i guess!

starlover · 29/09/2005 20:32

No worries custy. I'm a big girl. I guess I can get the train back on my own. It's just that it has been a few years since I've sat alone, drunk, post party on a train. I'll have to remember to bring a 'Wake Me Up At Preston Park' sign to put around my neck before I drift off.

set your alarm on your moby - i know your prolly joking but i always either fall off a train ontot he platform or miss my stop in drunken stupor - or get partner or someone to ring you to wake you up. eek.

starlover · 01/10/2005 16:37

MABS · 03/10/2005 19:01

Cam · 03/10/2005 19:51

RnBlood · 03/10/2005 22:05

desperatehousewife · 06/10/2005 17:32

Spidermama - have you just moved to B'ton? Why haven't you been to any of our B'ton meetups ??(she said with hands on hip) we have lovely meet ups, which are always really calm and sweet and well behaved...right up until the point when I leave and everyone lets their hair down and gets mullered!
