I am so sorry Sharklet I have NO IDEA what happened at the hotel, I am really really sorry, it was NOT a joke, we didn't change our plans, my only thought was that since I had checked in the receptionist changed??? I m so so sorry as I didn't know you were at the meet up, I would have come and found you if I knew. I was really worried about you at the meetup and asked around a bit, but obviously NOT enough. Probably I was too pissed I am so so sorry, I had no idea the hotel had no record of me when you arrived

I have emailled and txted you now. Please get in touch.

How is your dd now?

Snowindippity · 28/11/2005 14:42

Oh sweetheart what a horrid evening for you
Of course you are not a witch, you're wonderful.
It must have all been a misunderstanding, i hope you all work it out and it doesn't put you off coming to future meetups!
xxxxxx
(p.s i was the drunken one ranting about Goerge Bush, PostNatel depression and a really nasty experiance i've had with certain ex mumsnetter!)

She's having her nap (hence I now had time to explain what happened) she's still peaky though. Have to take her back to Dr's tomorrow and we were told if the ear infection kept recurring she'd have to go onto anti-biotics over the whole Winter - which makes me sick as I hate using anti-biotics at the best of times.

What a tangled mess. But Sharklet - I could well imagine getting myself in a stew like this and not wanting to raise it on the night out. Actually, I probably would have sloped off home without going to the party..

Is it best all round do you think that now everyone has had their rather public say, further discussion if needed is left in private?

sharklet · 28/11/2005 14:46

Hi Snowindipity (cool christmas name!) I remeber chatting to you for ages! I did have some fun and met some lovely people so it was worth going. Just a shame about the rest of it!

Was good to meet you!

Springchicken · 28/11/2005 14:46

Oh Sharklet and Crunchie, just sounds like a terrible mix up and unfortunate series of events.
I think you are very brave to go Sharklet as I think I may have just gone home.

crunchie · 28/11/2005 14:47

Thanks for your email, this is all such a shame that your night was ruined. I have replied.

Sorry to post on here, but I wanted to apoligize everywhere as I just couldn't understand what happened.

I think so handlemecarefully yes. I just posted here as I knew people were getting antsy and wondering what happened. It was a horrible misunderstanding. But at least we know that was what it was on both sides.

Thanks x

Indeed springchicken - i was nervous enough despite arriving with another MNer (but still spent most of the evening hiding in a booth).

I dont know how i would have reacted had i been in sharklets shoes.

Sorry to hear your DD is still poorly sharklet.

ThomCat · 28/11/2005 14:54

So sorry you had such a nightmare Sharklet and sorry to hear about your little girl, I really am, but I'm with Beety on this I hae to say.

I think it's really sad that you would think it had been done as part of some weird sick joke! and get yourself into such a state that rather than just ask you imagined people plotting against you!

I'm not having a go or anything, I just think it's really really sad that you would think that way and you must have felt so awful, and it could have been put right in a second if you'd just said something

Oh well, hope you managed to enjoy some of the evening and glad you and your little girl are both ok.

sharklet · 28/11/2005 14:55

Beetroot wih all due respect. I don't know you. You don't know me nor were you standing with me when I found the hotel and had the problem I did. I'm sorry for BUnglie but as you say communication is the name of the game. You may check with BUnglie and Crunchie - I tried to contact Bunglie before the meet when I heard I was going to share a room with her to say hello and exchange numbers - she never replied to my email. Crunchie never gave me her number so I couldn't call her either. I was completely open with mine and had sent it to Crunchie before hand. I was not hiding and please don't suggest I was.

By the time I got there I was upset, when I found there was no name badge for me that made me more on edge. Perhaps stupidly yes. But you weren't me. If you were in the hotel you came in with a bunch of people and had a huge advantage over me.

I did try to talk to crunchie, but she was deep in conversation and I was having no luck politely butting in - I'm sure if I had marched up an had a go at her that wouldnt have gone down to well either, and thats not something I would do.

The whole experience messed up my evening, and cost me a fortune as I had to get a cab 20 miles from the nearest train station back to my house. The whole reson I was staying at the hotel in the first place.

Please don't blame all of this on me, I am not completely to blame and it is none of your business.
