unicorn i'm not surprised that you're aching, it was lovely to see you again. and you coathanger, lovely to meet you and i bet you're aching too. i know i am

was so lovely to meet you all, am gutted that didn't get round to see more people, but i never get to dance anymore and just couldn't resist making a tit of myself dancing....felt so great!

thomcat, was so fabulous to meet you, you are even more lovely in RL than online and also fabulously pretty and glam even when about to pop!

fantastic night. and i wasn't too bad this morning (altho dh did get me a lie in which was probably why!

oh lovely to meet hub2dee too...and see gorgeous pics of your baby! steve tech is lovely and v interesting chap too.

thanks for a miracle of organisation custy - not sure if you are brave or foolish or both. I think the drink buyer in a lovely skirt was Gomez. Hi Gomez if you're there - lovely to chat about our dds. I hope I wasn't slurring...seem to remember it was pretty late

argh bossykate, lovely to see you again....keep forgetting lovely people, must have been more pissed than i thought

caligula, gutted didn't speak to you more...gglimppoppo, you are fab....and as for you beetroot, you do need to move to london!!!!!!

argh and dropinthe....you were fabulous!

Great to meet Bunglie too. A bit pants about that hotel room though. Hope you got home ok.

Soph - you rock babes. Really have to meet up with you Countess & Willow when I've had this baby and get into some trouble!

So how did it work .... did you find out each others real names or just stick to MN names all night?

oh yessss tc.

pretty much to mn names

Yes. we were still using them in Mars house this morning, it was easier.

Particularly as GingerBear and Cadders share the same Christian name.

didn't answer to either though! Well, not if I'm bending over at the time

was there really no bitchy goss [disappointed emoticon]

enid, at one point quite early on, someone (can't remember who) on being introduced to me exclaimed 'god you look about 10 years too young to be you' which might sound like a compliment but as i said at the time means that i come across like an officious old cow on here!!!

What a lovely thread...I wish I could have been there with all of you too! Sounds like it was fantastic. Can't wait to see some photos too!

Gomez's skirt was fab! And she is too, I had lovely chats with her and she should get a prize for coming all the way from somewhere thats an hour north of Edinborough!

Sounds like it was a fun evening... yes I agree, where's the photos!?

novaandypowder was absolutely gorgeous too and i cannot believe that she's just had a baby!

lol sophable

dont worry I expect everyone would imagine me to look like a grey haired pillar of the WI

I got back a couple of hours ago and I am still 'hungover' I slept most of the way on the train and my dh is now wondering what I really did do!!

I had a great time and I would like to thank you ALL for you patience as you had to wait for me to go up and down stairs on my bum! and also thank you for holding the mens loo door open for me...it was easier than trying to get in the ladies!

I think that Mnetters are very special people and it has been an honour to meet you all....

Think my cold's incubated nicely. I hope I haven't passed it on to anyone.

The only bad hting was not having enough time to talk to people for as long as you wanted. It was a bit like I imagine speed dating to be (In fact, if it's as much fun as a Mumsnet meet-up I might try it! ) And also realising that you've already asked this woman who she is three times before. Did that with about twenty people. Sorry.

And I heard several times - "oh you're Caligula... love your posts"
