THE BIG LONDON XMAS MEET UP 26TH NOVEMBER 2011

[Tortington]

needs booking, i would like to pair up with someone who has more time to help with the organisation, but i don't mind doing some.

i'll start the list

if there is beer - i'll be there.

CUSTARDO

fuck fuck fuck (again)

Oh well too late now. I'll just trash my room and nick the pillows or something.

PLEASE HEED WARNING HOWEVER
Fivegomadindorset booked and CHECKED INTO Travelodge in Bath for meet-up but they still double booked her room leaving her with nowhere to stay that night. So I recommend that you book in as soon you get into London, get the key to your room and leave your stuff in there so it's definitely bagsied as yours. As there are so many of us checking into the Travelodge it's highly likely that at least one of our rooms will be double-booked. It's what they do.

Custy and I also down as fellow Travelodgers in Farringdon.

Gawd Lenin, I could so not do that...

I need to know exactly where I am going, what time, which is my seat etc etc. Although I usually get on the train to find some bugger sat in my sat and then I have to grapple with them to get them out.

If they give my room to someone else I'll just have to get a cab home!

Now I'm in the grip of hotel room anxiety..

Thanks for that Ruby.

Poor Fivegomad (I do love that girl!)

Don't worry Hully. We shall sleep in the gutter under the stars!

HA HA! WTF??

We can nick some boxes off the homeless and find a doorway

Em - wrong thread, Williams?

Bloody spammers.

Absy Absy Absy

How could you not?

Hmmmm?

Shortage of cashish. Wedding dresses and the accompanying complicated underwear required to get into the wedding dress do not come cheap.

Oh bollocks to that. Come anyway.

There are no pockets in a shroud.

And

You're a long time dead.

My dad's two pieces of wisdom that I have possibly embraced a little too enthusiastically.

Sorry, not bollocks to the wedding..is it yours??? How exciting!

Can't you treat the meet-up as an MN hen night? I'll get you a garter thing and a learner sign (or whatever hens have)

Hully...I think your dad was married to my gran...she said those things on a daily basis!

If you asked her how much something cost her to buy,she would look you in the eye and say:
"Money and fair words"

Yahs, my wedding.

Aksherly, meet up as hen night would be fabulous! Better than the spa day planned with my SILs (mostly male friends. I could invite them, but it might get a bit awkward in the sauna).

A colleague recently had a crown replaced, using a GOLD one (she's mortified, but the dentist said she had no choice). Her father's reaction "so you've found a way to take it with you!"

crazynanna - what else did she say?

My dad also used to say, "You wait. It's a big cold old world out there."

That one wasn't so great actually.

You're very young, aintcha, Absy? Are your male friends of a similar vintage? Would they like to attend to the elderly party in the corner?
