everyone is welcome, and there's no dress code.

Come party!!

Last trains are ridiculously early aren't they?

Perhaps next meet up I will make a weekend of it and book a posh hotel to be hungover in

I would have stayed over this time, if it hadn't been for the fact that I can't skip church in the morning because we're presenting DH with a medal for his long service to the church (43 years! - he joined the choir at 7 and it's his 50th bday on monday)
I would have loved a lie-in.

Hello, I think I'd like to come. I've been on MN a year and a half but have just name changed. I'll be on my own and am a bit nervous about as I don't know any of you but I live close by so feel I should take the plunge. I've got pay pal (for ebay) but am not very good at it iykwim. Could I send someone a cheque today maybe ?

Yes, do come! I can't take cheques, but it's really easy to do on Paypal.

£15.00
Please do not specify payment as en EBay payment (they take a fee) choose something under "Personal"
Et voila!

Ok thanks, I'll do it later.

Am getting a bit nervous with all this polishing & threading of various body parts going on

For any of the not-so-polished kind, I admit to:

? Bought new top (nice but nothing extravagant)
? Will wear jeans
? Am not able to apply any other make-up than mascara without looking like a clown and /or [twat]

That's it! Hope 'm not the only one.

It is easy to assume that you will be the only one who does not know anyone and that you will be on your own.
But honestly, lots of us are in the same boat

I am on here a lot posting shite but I have never met anyone, don't do the facebook thing or Twitter or suchlike.
I am having palpitations about walking in to a room full of people I have never met but a lot of us are the same.
For all I know this whole thread could be a practical joke by two trolls and a trucker ..

Can we have a buddy bench/friend stop/ losers corner so we can go there if we feel anxious. please

I'm not polished

(seriously, it took me 5 attempts to type polished!!!)

No!
pag - nobody sits in a corner

Ok. I believe you.

thanks

All this talk about hairy handed truckers is terribly exciting but you must stop it because I'm getting thoroughly overexcited "some" people might be awfully disappointed when they walk into a room expecting a bit of rough variety and its full of middle aged women.

:o

Oi! I'm not middle aged! I'm not even 33 until next week!

Blatherskite you are a mere sapling! The rest of us are crepey, saggy and frankly a bit knackered. Don't come bouncing in with your peachy skin and unlined, unwrinkled eyes and make the rest of us look ancient, will you?

Can we have ages next to "the alphabetical list of doom" so we can see who's on the dark side?!

I'm 40. Can anyone top that? [very hopeful emoticon]

YYY! I'm 41, I've aged horrifically fast since 40 so I suggest using that eye cream that's been festering in the drawer since October.

44 in july

I'm 29 (30 in October).

My Birthday is on the 27th. I will be spending it in a static caravan near Great Yarmouth! This meet up is the closest I'll get to a party :)

45. And don't listen to Alouiseg she may be the wrong side of 40 but she looks like a baby's buttock.

I've got a nice little spotty rash where my eyebrow threading happened now, and my laughable attempts at gradual fake tan have resulted in orange toes. Oh the shame. I am definiely not polished.

Pag I'm so glad about the lairy dress and clippy heels - I won't feel so alone among all these uber-cool boho types in slouchy sweater and jeans types. I can't do smart casual if my life depends on it. I do Waynetta Slob, or Margo Leadbetter. Nothing in between.

I'm 46, but I don't think I'm the oldest

Why do you all put yourselves through fake-tan hell? Be reflectively white and proud

BigTIlly, when's your birthday? if it's before the end of November than you are older than me HA! (David Tennant style cackle).

I may be identifibable by being the really sweaty one still in Morris dancer's kit. But I may go home and have a wash first.

I'm 32

36

39

FGS I can't even tell lies on the world wide interweb.

I'm 42.

"The rest of us are crepey, saggy and frankly a bit knackered"

C'mon, Al0uiseG. Put your dukes up. That's fightin' talk, that is.
