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

crazynanna - what else did she say?

...well,towards the end,she would just say "fuck off" usually

Another one she said,completely always out of context,was "You can't save the world!"
'Oh look at that poor,old cat!'....."you can't save the world,you know!"
'I'll just have a cup of tea'..."you can't save the world,you know!"

Hully...I wrote this on atother thread this morning.

Me: "Gran,there's a funny smell in here"

Gran: "Really? Well,you must have your nose too near your arse,then"

she is starting to sound like the gran from catherine tate...

'Twas the dementia,Hully! If she only knew what she was saying,she would have been mortified! She was always such a laaaaayyddee

Mine had Alzheimer's and had to go into a home. When we took new born ds to see her, she peered at us over the bedclothes all angry and suspicious and said, "Who are you? What's that? Don't think you're leaving that baby with me."

Pore ol Nan. She was luvverly, too.

My dad used to say "if you do that again I'll skin you alive"
Hard as fuck, me.

All hail to the Nans',eh Hully
Mine was lubbly,too.

That was nice then, our Pag.

Actually, I'm a bit cross that I've just spent 8 million pounds on a double-booked Traveldodgy seeing as apparently a satellite is going to crash down on my head this afternoon.

But on the other hand you are hosting a champagne reception in a cardboard box amidst the rubble, so it's not all bad.

It is like the Vanity Fair party meets lord of the flies.

Are you two going to the meet up, hully and pag (please say yes).

Are you sorted yet?

Progress report?

Shirl's signed up, Bins, Abs nearly....

come on

Bins? I'm obsessed with my bed arrangements.

Bibs

I am. She's being all, oo ah, the thing is. Some birthday nonsense. I wrote her dh a perfectly reasonable request that no right-thinking man could refuse.

Where's the latest list of who is going

I need to pull my finger out and pay.

I am still in bed mind you (not chronically lazy honest guv, just working from home having to finish a bastarding document - it's done now so I should get my arse out of bed but there is something so wonderfully decadent about still being in bed at 2pm on a Friday!)

Oh come oooon pag. You are so lovely and I barely spoke to you last time

Dolly needs to update it.

She is being very remiss

Bed is always a good place unless in a bin

I shall do my party trick of spontaneously combusting if you like?
Hope none of you lot are in the room next to us, we wanna party till the early hours and don't want a load of grannies banging on the door.

I've a cardboard box for any double-bookers.

Dh is being very lovely and feels that ultimately my relationship with Hully is more beautiful and important that our filmy flammy marriage - all of which is very astute of him.

So we are trying to get babysitter to see if we can celebrate his birthday on another night. Our very reliable and cheap babysitter is inconveniently leaving home. Git.

Oh getorf. I think you had to keep moving away as I just kept cursing you for your youth and good looks. I would be ever so nonchalant about it all now.

Good ol dh! Did he not like my Paris option? Slightly more tricky on the babysitting admittedly...

Rhubs - I hope you won't be making noise after 10.30?

He liked it.
But the Paris thing is less romantic with a dd who makes vomit gestures if you hug and a DS who shout "asshole" if irritated.

Oh no don't be nonchalant, I need all the attention and random compliments I can get

I am getting confused about the pre meet up thing though. Someone needs to pm me with the best pre-pre-meet up meet up. And I mean the real one not the " let's send pag to the debenhams cafe" one.

I am not walking in on my own again

I will just stand near you and lick your elbows then. That is about where I reach if I recall
