Not told dh yet, but I thought it would be nice to arrange a little Mumsnet meet-up whilst I'm back. Also cause some people in that area couldn't make the Christmas London meet-up. So YorkieGirl, Amanda1, Janh, Tinker and others, do you fancy it or what?

Manchester would be better for me as I can get the train there. Although I could make Liverpool too, it just means getting 2 trains instead of one. So who else wants to come then?

Sunday could be match day, they play all the bloody time.

I want to find the last thread, will hunt.

fastasleep · 29/11/2005 13:19

Have fun.. I would come but I'll be sat at home with a windy baby and a breastpump... sob wah pathetic sniffle

MTS can tell me all about it though...

oLILItownofBEThlehem · 29/11/2005 13:19

I can't come

Have a wonderful time, and if you see you know who (the unmentionable one who was there last time we met in the Moon), wave to him from me!!

NomDePlume · 29/11/2005 13:20

fasta, where in Manc are you ? I thought you were somewhere down south

CliffRichardSucksEggsinHell · 29/11/2005 13:21

Neither Man Utd nor Man City are playing on the Sunday, so we should be ok!

LOL Lilibet! Will do!
Have you found the thread yet OO?

No, am trying though.

gingerbear · 29/11/2005 13:29

Howdo, found you all here. I would love to come too. I was at uni in Manchester many moons ago, and haven't had a proper visit since (done Trafford Centre, but that doesn't count).
Won't Manchester be packed with last minute Christmas shoppers?
I loved the corn exchange, didn't realise it had gone due to that IRA bomb.
Suprised at weatherspoons - I went to one in Scarborough when DD was tiny and breastfed her and no one batted an eyelid!

CliffRichardSucksEggsinHell · 29/11/2005 13:30

Here is the last meet-up I went on, with the infamous ex-Mumsnetter! And here is the one you are looking for OO.

Pah, just spent ages finding that!

So are these people still on MN then?

CliffRichardSucksEggsinHell · 29/11/2005 13:32

Wetherspoons in Manchester told me that children are welcome but not on Match Days (i.e. when the 2 big Manchester clubs are playing at home) because of Security reasons. Apparently that is echoed throughout nearly all of the pubs in central Manchester.

Won't it be a bit pathetic if the 'meet-up' consists of just 3 MNers ? (That's assuming I can make it)

fastasleep · 29/11/2005 13:33

I'm from Liverpool hence I'm friends with MTS as every MNer in Liverpool is lol!

NomDePlume · 29/11/2005 13:34

Sorry, 4 incl ginge

NomDePlume · 29/11/2005 13:34

ahhh, cheers fastasleep. How's that girly of yours ?

oliveoil · 29/11/2005 13:35

I would prefer small than the 80 that went to the London one .

CliffRichardSucksEggsinHell · 29/11/2005 13:35

ninja, Gumdrop, luchar, soppysocks, where are you now?
Also what happened to Forestfly?

handlemecarefully · 29/11/2005 13:35

Is it me or have you become more flamboyant and in-yer-face (in the nicest possible way) since you changed your name?

oliveoil · 29/11/2005 13:35

is she now fairyfly?

NomDePlume · 29/11/2005 13:36

Gummy lives near me now, in worcestershire !

Not seen FF around for a while.

CliffRichardSucksEggsinHell · 29/11/2005 13:44

Who me? Never! I'm just the same old Rhubarb that I always was, with a little bit of hell thrown in for good measure!

handlemecarefully · 29/11/2005 13:47

I've worked out what it is - because your new name is so high octane and noticeable it raises your profile even though your posting style etc probably hasn't changed...(not that you had a low profile before I hasten to add!)

CliffRichardSucksEggsinHell · 29/11/2005 13:48

Might just stick with this one then!

Tinker · 29/11/2005 13:50

Am watching with interest. Pesky baby won't take a bottle yet so will see how things are closer to the time.

CliffRichardSucksEggsinHell · 29/11/2005 14:00

My goodness, just read through the last meet-up I went to and it brought back all kinds of memories! We were organising it whilst I was pg with ds, then I sprogged ds (it's weird reading my posts the day before I sprogged!), then 6 weeks after we had our eventful meet-up!

Shame Lilibet can't come , hope you can make it though Tinker, if I could manage with a 6 wk old then so can you! (good memories of 'milking' myself in the toilets of Moon and Janh letting slip to everyone what I'd been doing!
