[Indith]

Shiny new thread :)

Christmas Night Out Replacement. Feb half term. Details coming soon (when we've done things like get closer to the date, decided which weekend, thawed out, and stuff)

Does Ebony let you wear jeans

I have no idea!!

If they try not to let you in, I'll fake passing out and you can pretend to be a passing paramedic ;)

Are we just gonna use the voucher regardless of however many is there then divide it aye?

I found a gorgeous top for tonight, win!!

Juney - jeans yes, trainers no. Had my hen night there and wore jeans and a corset :-) Course I can't fit in either now...

Am debating between trying all my tops to see which ones fit and go wit jeans and pretty shoes, or wearing my one fancy dress I bought for a wedding and will be wearing for everything smart til I lose the baby weight!

Haha ooo no wouldn't wear trainers on a night out!!

But I'll be going with jeans pretty shoes little vest cardy and sparkly necklace :D

I wore jeans last time and they let me in! Can't wait to escape- the children have been "helping" me put on make up. this was while DP supposedly looked after them so I could get ready in peace. It'll be my last night out for MONTHS!

Yey just about to set off now.

Piles or no piles!!

Hope you all had a good time! Am I the only one who actually likes the food there?? Sorry I was a party pooper but just feeling a bit overwhelmed at the moment with work stuff and illness - DCs werem vomiting last week, better now but DD has been screamy all weekend . At a birthday party today where they both just wanted to sit on my knee, rather than join in with the entertainment

How are yuo feeling Kara - any better?

My calzone was lush last night!

Sorry about the DCs SPB :( Hope they're better soon!

Mine too, Juney! And that apple rustica was lovely.

My botty is very very sore :( finding it hard to do anything. Slightly better today but still getting tummy ache as well.

SPB - hope the DCs are better today, poor you!

Hello folks - sorry to have been gone so long and to be popping on here with a request but ....

I'm trying to get the university to honour the Nestle ban that the students' union has in place for 20 years. Their inhouse catering company is selling KitKats and using other Nestle products. Could any of you PLEASE sign a petition to this effect? I've got a dismal six signatures and two of those are me and DH. Since you're all around the Durham area I'd say you were interested parties with a right to have a say on this, and I know many of you have connections to the university anyhow.

Fingers crossed and a final big PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE ...

petition here

PS - if any of you know of any local pro-bf groups whose members might be interested in signing too, please let me know

LOL it'll end in tears FNP!

Signed, and actually I remember signing over a decade ago as a student about our college shop!

Didn't feel as strongly about the issues then, and they went out of my mind soon after

Signed it.

Now that DH no longer works for the evil Nestle...

:)

how's the bottom?

Anyhoo when is out next meetup? Can we do something in the Easter Holidays, maybe look at going to Beamish again?

Not quite as sore, so getting better!!

good good
Yes, I fancy beamish - not actually been yet!

Beamish would be good.

I have no children the week after Easter weekend though!

Will you have sold them on ebay by then, Indith

Shall we make it the first week? I can do either the Tuesday 12th or Thursday 14th.

You think I'd get much for them?

Depends on how you do your sales pitch!!

For example, My DS.

Adorably cute, pint sized 3yo. Devastatingly cute smile and gorgeous laugh. Likes to run around a lot and playing outside.

Small print - throws mega tantrums on a regular basis.
