BOURNEMOUTH/POOLE MEETUP - 7TH DECEMBER

[Merlin]

Right then ....

How about Coriander (bottom of Richmond Hill) for yummy Mexican food about 8/8.30pm then dancing for those that wish after either Disco Inferno or hike it up the hill to Bumbles!

Have I missed anyone?

Sorry - Mumofmonsters is my friend from online... we've never met She lives in Manchester...

Hi all - Bunglie sorry didn't realise you were in a wheelchair so have checked restaurant for access cos I remembered sitting upstairs before when I went there, but they can put us on the ground floor so that's great.

I've booked the table for 8pm - hope that's OK with everyone - if you want it a little later please let me know asap cos they are very busy!

I've also paid £2 per head deposit.

See you all on the 7th!!!!

Oooh how exciting!!!! I saw a pretty top the other day (the dress I had my eye on made me look like I was wearing a tent - stupid sticky out bum!!!), so I may be forced to go buy that...

Thank you Merlin.
Great to see you yesterday Delgirl, I am just sorry that we could not 'talk' as it was a bit noisy and I could not hear a thing!! I am not really a 'party animal' so I expect a bit of decorum at the Bournmouth meet-up so I can say hello to Delgirl (and everyone else!) properly as I feel that I neglected you yesterday and for that I am sorry.
I am looking forward to it though......so I might have to be weened off these meet-ups if they become adictive!

no probs Bunglie.

Decorum is not a word I would normally associate with the Bournemouth meetups but there's always a first time!

The 7th seem so far away - I can't wait!!!

it's not long! pace yourself

Haircut on Friday

oooh - something a bit glam for the do?

Something not fuzzy and split endy - Not been cut since May , and is looking very very sad....

Right... after reading quite a few "how rude is this" type dinner ettiquette threads, I'm askin in advance so I don't get all flustered on the night

What is the deal with paying the bill... do we split equally all ways, or pay for what we eat... same for drinks.

Not bothered either way, but I know that if I don't find out in advance I'll give myself panic attacks worrying about doing the wrong thing

Do I now sound insane and paranoid???

hi flame - personally I think the bill should be split equally, unless anyone has had a significantly smaller meal or no wine for instance while everyone else has been knocking it back!

but merlin, there are some pregnant women attending and you and I will both drink copious amounts of vino I expect, we could do a seperate drinks bill instead - that way, we wont feel guilty for teetotallers contributing to our large bill.

Ive lots track - are we going to corianders now?

and I usually eat more

lol DG . I dont mind how the bill is split and hate all that poncing around ath the end of a meal with "i didnt have a coffee" etc but I do think if there is a hugely different amount of food/wine consumed by differnet people then perhaps us greedy ones/drunks should pay a bit more

"Us drunks". Speak for yourself .

well perhaps greedy is the wrong word. What I really meant was i'm a fillet steak kind of person, not a pizza iykwim

Yes it's Coriander - 8pm.

I'm quite happy to split the food bill equally but on a purely selfish note I agree about the drinks as I won't be indulging on this occasion!
Just out of interest what is everyone wearing? Is it going to be smart casual or quite glam? Being even more heifer-like than usual my wardrobe is very limited (not according to dh ).

Any chance of a lift pretty please Catj? Sparkler's at Canford Heath and we normally go together, so I'm sure she'd like one too.

I'll be smart cas - not sure I do glam these days!

evening Surfer - see any more of those hunky rugby types at the weekend

I shall be mostly wearing something smart cas too - perhaps with a bit of a sparkle cos it is Xmas!!!!

Of course.Do you want to CAT me with your address?The only thing I will say is that chjlly (I've got to take her too!) & I won't be staying out late but you are more than welcome to have a lift there if it helps.

Evening Merlin! Sadly no rugby players, but Santa was really cool. Dsd said she wanted CDs and he said "which one, the Black Eye Peas?". DD's eyes were like saucers when she saw him and when he asked her what she wanted she said "presents".

That would be great thanks Catj. I'll CAT you now.
