Ok, so we have a venue, a growing list of those coming and Dances making lists.

I'm not going to give the address of the venue on this thread, but will put it in the FB Meet up Group and PM those who are not on FB. If you are and are not already in the group, please click the link and ask to be added and we shall do just that - just as soon as you have confirmed that you are coming and have made a payment of £20 to the Meet Up PayPal account.

The £20 will cover food (12-14ish decent sized canapés), anywhere between 2-4 drinks and, most importantly, cake. Depending on final numbers we have yet to decide whether to have a stock of paid for drinks - wine, beer, soft drinks perhaps, followed by a pay bar; or to do tokens of a set value that can be used for any drinks, again paying once you have used your tokens up.

The venue is just south of the river, next to Tower Bridge; BIWI, Pistey and I selflessly went and checked it out last week and it is lovely, great position and with easy transport to all London main line stations. Tube wise it has Northern Line, Jubilee Line and Circle/District lines running very close by.

With regard to food, when you have paid (please PM me or Pistey for the PayPal details as, again, I don't want to publish it for the world to see), could you please let me know any dietary requirements - allergies/vegetarian etc so that I can finalise the menu accordingly a couple of weeks before the bash.

Accommodation - we are hoping to sort out a group rate at a Travelodge, so if you are in need of a bed for the night, please do let me know and we can add you on to our list.

I will C&P the list of who is coming after this post. If you are coming and are not on it, please add yourself.

I think that's everything..... Any other questions, just let me know and I will, hopefully, be able to answer them.

Has anyone else noticed, way back at the beginning it was all "oh no, I'm not remotely fabulous" and "of course we're not all glam and gorgeous".
Now, though, the witnesses are going on record. How, oh how will I fit it all in; manicure, pedicure (well, you never know), facial, spray tan, haircut/highlites/lowlites, waxing, tweezing, threading.
For goodness sake, remind me if I've forgotten anything Grin.

And, I've heard that there might be a mystery guest, who is not on the list.

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 16/09/2012 01:26

'Tis confusing married, but as one of them was looking forward to rubying up against the other, I have assumed that there are two of them.
But one's not coming.
Thank God for the badges.
And that's one of them too, innit?
The one that IS coming?
Oh fuck it, I think imploding is easier than trying to figure it out.

Knotty Shock I am so not glam Shock. YOU on the other hand... With your gorgeous hair and lovely perfect eyebrows Envy.

BellaVita · 16/09/2012 08:12

For the record Bewitched, Knotty must have had her beer goggles on last time...

JugglingWithPossibilities · 16/09/2012 08:18

But if you find a hairbrush how will we recognise you KnottyLocks? Grin

BIWI · 16/09/2012 08:26

Why, I always wonder, do we worry so much about getting dressed up for a bunch of other women? Grin

marriedinwhite · 16/09/2012 08:27

I just don't want a headache in two weeks' time; not one like I have this morning anyway.

KnottyLocks · 16/09/2012 08:27

Ah, good point, Juggling Grin

Tbh even if I do brush it, it'll still be a knotty mess an hour later!

I may have had beer gogs on later in the evening, Bella, but I know what I saw, you glamour puss.

I've noticed a zillion rubys (rubies?) on here lately.

You started a trend rubyrubyruby

JugglingWithPossibilities · 16/09/2012 11:32

Am practicing my RNSR to any questions put to me by mystery guests ...

"Yes, I guess you could say I'm on here quite a bit - but better to be addicted to talking with friends than lots of other things, and I've found it's cheaper and better than therapy" Smile

But who might it be ?!

FrankWippery · 16/09/2012 17:17

Hello you 'orrible lot Grin. Right this is a bullying shout to those who've not paid yet please.....

Also, I'm off to the venue this week to finalise grub. Currently have 4 down as veggies, so if any of you haven't yet told me please pm me by Wednesday this week.

We've got somewhere between 3 & 5 coming from MNHQ coming too who, not surprisingly have enquired about gin GrinWink!

I am making the cake. It will be nut free and, again, if there are any allergies please let me know and I can do an extra smaller one as well.

Really looking forward to it and intend to disgrace myself on behalf of Shirley who's piking Grin

Ooh how exciting! I will bring Belgian chocolate!

BellaVita · 16/09/2012 17:29

Thanks to Frank and Porto for cake and chocolate

DollyTwat · 16/09/2012 17:36

There IS a thread!

I'm looking forward to it very much I just need to find my badge which had to be hidden from dc

Hullygully · 17/09/2012 08:52

I am sending a body double (but half size width-wise) as I don't do grooming and seem to have inexplicably swallowed a Grik island over the summer.

Hullygully · 17/09/2012 08:52

I am a veggie, Frank

Hullygully · 17/09/2012 08:53

But I don't eat cow curd, the carnivore veggie standby, because it's DISCUSTING

BIWI · 17/09/2012 08:54

Cheeseist

Hullygully · 17/09/2012 08:55

Foul claggy stuff

BellaVita · 17/09/2012 09:39

What the fuck is cow curd?

I eat anything

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 17/09/2012 10:25

No cheese at all? Out of all the thousands? Poor taste buds Sad.

BellaVita · 17/09/2012 10:31

Oh cheese! How can anyone not like it? Shock

Hullygully · 17/09/2012 10:37

Discusting stuff

except unripe brie and mozarella.

Any non-cheese like cheese is ok

KnottyLocks · 17/09/2012 16:15

A couple of cheese strings for Hully then. Seriously non-cheese.
