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?

Sunday 18th December. Meeting at the Moon Under Water, Deansgate (a few doors down from Daisy&Toms) @ 1pm. Not sure about food.

but who is ShortandStripy? someone already on the list or a new person?

Thanks NDP!

, I'll be the mildly frantic one having spent 3 hours on a train the morning after DH's work night out [probably hungover emoticon]

would like to say i'll be the cool collected and very witty popular one.

in fact will probably be the first at the bar drinking too many red wines too quickly and then collapsing in a little heap, surrounded by totally sober and composed mumsnetters.

Sorry Fennel, just posted my change on the Christmas name list :

I was BahHumbugBadgerBadger but there are so many Bah's at this stage that it's reminiscent of a nativity over run with loud, wooly creatures

I'll be the one standing outside the door debating over whether to go in or not, for a good half hour!

stoopid question but how will we know each other especially if most aren't bringing children? shall we wear a red rose in our lapel? name badges? carry copies of vogue?

I'm 5'7", glasses, probably wearing a knee length black tweedy wool coat. Chin length dark hair.

MOON UNDER WATER, SUNDAY 18 DECEMBER @ 1PM, FOR LUNCH IF YOU WANT TO EAT IF NOT JUST DRINK!

Cliffy preparing for the meet-up

3 hours for train from here to Manchester? and two train changes, and £26 return? And trains back are 1500, 1535 or 1800!
I think I will probably drive and be tee-total.

Love the Christmas jumper Cliff

Mine is 3h+ each way. £38.50 return !

olive in her scruffs off to Asda

well I'm 6 foot. long glossy dark hair. fabulously slim and people have said I look like Eva Longoria. Not really. I'm 5'5, size 14 on a good day, blonde highlighted to hell and back long'ish hair and will probably be wearing a camel colour coat.

NDP, you must be desperate for a drink in Manchester. Or are you one of the 3 Kings come to worship, bringing Gold?

We'll all meet at the bar and then choose a fairly obvious table, howsat?

I'll have you all know too that the jumper was a Christmas present from me mum!

Cor Olive looks rough these days, doesn't she ?

I should imagine Oldham's a bit chilly for that sort of get-up.

perhaps we could have a large card on the table to show where we are. but NOT saying "Mumsnet internet meet-up" (there might be people I know in Manchester on a Sunday).

thats a good idea cliffrich, won't be hard to miss a large group of women and then we can all go the table together.

Ginge, I'm a Manc so any excuse to come back is taken up with great enthusiasm !
