CliffRichardSucksEggsinHell wants to meet YOU in MANCHESTER! You lucky lucky things!

[CliffRichardSucksEggsinHell]

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?

I was just reading about the london meet up and all the while this horrendous realisation was dawning;

I haven't been 'out' for over four years!

....can I come please?

If I can come to face the thought of exiting my sett that is

if I leave my truncheon at home can I ........

I'll come. can do with or without kids.

Ok, so we have:
Mummytosteven
Oliveoil
NomDePlume
Gingerbear
GobblediGook
BadgerBadger
Mistletoo
Fennel

Possibilities are:
Janh
Mumofmonsters
Tinker
lucykate
YorkieGirl
Whizz
Custardo

Can't do's:
Amanda1
fastasleep

So could the people in the Possibilities list please get their arses in gear and BLOODY WELL COME! It'll be fun! We gotta rival that London one - right?

Anyone drops out and I'll come round their house singing Mistletoe and Wine followed by The Lord's Prayer. So you have been warned........!

Well if Yorkigirls going then I guess I could come too. She's not far from me.......

I need to check train times/costs as I wanna have a drinky so the car will be staying at home....

whatt time would we be meeting/finishing up ? It's DH's work's doo the night before so I don;t really want to be getting up and on a smelly train at the crack of dawn.

I am just north of Manchester and would have loved to come..but am in Midlands that weekend catching up with relatives...hope you all have a good time!

Looking at the trains (3h 10m there and 2h 47m back minimum), I'm gonna be on the train longer than I'm going to be in the pub

Put me and Juno on the list - I'll check with the boss tonight and see if we can farm the kids out somewhere!

Just cleared the 18th with DH, hurrah ! I'm deffo on the list.

Hey cool, dying to meet NDP! In fact, loads of people on that list I'd like to meet.

I'll ask again, but a bit louder... WHAT TIME ARE WE MEETING ?

Cliff - start a new thread with time, date, place on it!

Thanks GDG, at least someone is listening to me, eh ?

The only prob I might have is start & finish times, given that it's a Sunday and I live 100 miles away and have to get DD to nursery on the monday morning...

Sorry, but some of us have children to deal with you know! I can't be on here on the time!!!!!!!

SUNDAY 18TH DECEMBER AT MOON UNDER/OVER WATER? DEANSGATE AROUND 1PM IF THIS IS OK WITH EVERYONE.

Dot1 and Juno, I'll add you both to the list. Northerner, you can be a possibility then.

If you have children that is NO excuse not to come, I will double check at the pub but you CAN bring them with you. That is, if you want to, personally I want to get drunk so dh can blummin' well look after them!

Where are you coming from NDP?

Worcester, which is about 40 mins south of Brum.

Afternoon is perfect for me.

Oh and it finishes when you want it to. You just kind of say, "I have to go now" and then you get up and you, err, go!

Yeah, that's a long way!

Thanks! Where is Moon Under Water? Oh, is it the one on Deansgate down the end near the Ramada hotel?

Excellent. I'm leaving the kids in DH's capable hands for the day.

I take it you're only coming to see me then!

Yes, GDG, it's a Wetherspoons.

Is it Moon under Water then? Deansgate yup, the big Wetherspoons pub.
Will be you wearing a Police Uniform GD?
