February 2005 - dare we blow our covers.....

[Hazellnut]

Right, I'm in and based in London.

Sign up here...... if everyone confirms where they are/ any ideas for meeting and then we can take it from there..... Hopefully I won't be the only one and look like a saddo !!

oooh i am getting excited now!

what time are we meeting?

ooh don't know - think goss suggested 12 the other day - how does that suit ? Doesn't matter too much to me as i'm probably the nearest. Right at the mo the only definite definites (?!) are me, Starlover, goss, BiL and Snufflepuss.... Anymore ??

that's ok by me!

Arrgh - sorry guys just rang restaurant and they are fully booked ... thinking caps back on - I should have guessed really what with it being near christmas... Hmmm now I know another restaurant near waterloo - kind of pizza pasta type or there's a big pizza express ? What do you think ?

i lurvvvvvvvvve pizza, anythings great really, its about the company

love pizza too!

Ok - I have decided to go with safe but dull so have just booked pizza express. Its this one here pizza express royal festival hall .

Its pretty much in the same place but behind festival hall so not the river side. The map though that is on the website seems to put it in a bit of an odd place but its on Belvedere Road So -

Go to Waterloo and ideally you want the exit opposite platforms 12 and 13 and whsmiths and paperchase. Turn left as soon as you come out of the station (you'll be in a sort of station approach road. Follow this down and you'll get to the main old entrance. cross york road and you'll see a restaurant on the right called 'Azurro' there is a large passage way/tunnel, to the left of this go through this and walk down and this takes you to the back of festival hall. You then turn right and walk passed a sort of gardeny thing and Pizza express is on the right before you get to the bridge (above you). The table is booked for 12 under my first name (this is what they wanted) so... if you didn't guess it when we were being all cryptic the other day CAT me and I will let you know along with my mobile just in case !! I have booked for 7 chairs and 6 highchairs assuming the following:

Me and dd
SL and ds
Goss and ds
BiL and ds
Nik and dd
Snufflepuss plus dd1 (assumed chair rather than highchair) and dd2

Wombat - you are still VERY welcome just haven't heard if you were deifintely coming so let us know if you are and I will book another place and another high chair.... and anyone else too who wants to come just let me know and I shall add you on !!

Phew hope that's ok...

ta v.much sweetie

I would still like to come so please book me and dd a place too.

I'm not a very good mumsnetter so I apologise for being such a sporadic poster.

Great Wombat - I shall book you and dd in right away !!

Right all done Wombat (although they didn't sound entirely clued up so won't be surprised if we turn up and none of us have got seats !!)

So.. its 8 plus 7 highchairs !

Thanks!

We're still on, tho am trying to get DH to take dd1 to work ... we'll see.

Remind me what time it's booked?? And does anyone who knows London have an estimated travel time from North Harrow to Waterloo?? I reckoned I should allow 1.5 hours but I always think it's going to take AGES to get anywhere and panic if I'm running late!

Starlover - hopefully there'll be no escalators for me to get sucked into .

meal is booked for 12 o clock, Nik - I reckon it'd take you an hour....

Bump as we only have a day to go here are the details again to save trawling through the messages:

Snufflepuss can't now make it as she is unwell so guess it might be worth us all checking in tonight to say whether we think we'll be ok to make it given that everyone seems to be a bit poorly !!

At the moment, all well in the hazellnut household so we will be there (as long as there is someone else to keep me company !)!!

Still planning to here, looking forward to it. I'll be the short blond one with the lovely mauve zapp.

I will be there

I'm hoping to be there but feeling a bit shattered today after a couple of hard days at work. Plus dd teething (her fifth tooth!) so hope she's less miserable tomorrow.

Will let you know if I can't make it.

as i've posted on the feb thread leon still v.poorly, but if there is some miraculous recovery we'll be there! hazellnut, i'll call you if we're going to come
have a great time

Poor you Goss ... that's a shame if you can't make it but totally understandable . But no doubt we'll do it again....well we'll have to now anyway

Wombat - Hopefully see you tomorrow....

3 of us definitely then, probably wombat... Come in Starlover and give us an update on Linus's health ????

Starlover, you have to come anyway so you can admire mine and Nik's zapps....
