MN September Shindig

[FrankWippery]

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.

I am still far too weeble shaped for comfort. Will go shopping for purple kaftan at the weekend,

Porto, I am twice the size I was at the last meet up, so we shall weeble together

I'm wearing my DD2's actual festival tent.

Has she got a spare one for me Frank?

Bollocks. I forgot about this. I want to come but suspect I have used up my free babysitting for the next ten years as I was away last weekend.
Bum bollocks bugger.

Although just checked calendar and that is not the weekend DP is away as I thought it waas.

Is there space if I can sort out some massively complicated arrangements?

YES

I started slimming world last monday. Have stuck to it religiously all week.

Went for weigh-in tonight. I lost half a pound. Half a mother cunting pound.

I could have done that by cutting my hair. Eating dust for a week and not drinking wine - what a pile o shite.

Oh well. Back to the old school of weight loss. Fags, black coffee and senokot for breakfast then.

I have just eaten a big pie and lots of wine and now dh is shouting to see if I want crumble and cream.

there is no hope

Crumble and cream

I don't look any different.

I look just like catinboots.

Except she's thinner than me

cat have you still got space in your room? It only just occurred to me to check trains times.
I was going to be so cool and hang out until really late and then swan off and catch a train. One at 1am, next one at 4am, both take 2 hours and have at least one change. To Brighton from Victoria FFS, it's usually an hour and I thought they were every hour, they used to be.
Anyway, have you? Please?
BTW, you obviously don't have much weight to lose or it would have fallen off in a week.
Creep? Moi?

I might even wear the same dress. No-one will remember

Right Hully you're in the corridor, Biwi in the bath , ledkr on the floor. Sorted
Getorf I think outs may be a party room

Yay!

BBandB

Yes!! I was going to be lonely ole Billy no mates in my room on my own. Stay stay stay!!

I made the terrible mistake of 'going home' last time. I left the bar at 12. The last train was at 11.30. I had to take a complicated train/cab route home to a vague part of kent. Then DH couldn't pick me up as he was alone with the DCs.

200 quid lighter I learned my lesson for this time. I will be checking in to the Traveldodgy about 4/5ish, stumbling back there at god knows what hour, and treating myself to a full english the next day.

Oooh FB me - I promise I'm not an axe murderer

I'm rubbish at FB. Will PM.
And thank s for being so welcoming.

PM is good :)

Yay!

Party in room 64!

You lot harping on about being Eff Ay Tee. I bet you are all lissome and this is like being in the Year 11 common room with Naomi Yates standing there in all her size 8 glory going 'ohh my thighs are so faaaaat' and we all wanted to kill her.

I also went home early ish last time, SOBER. Shared a cab with a mumsnetter who shall remain nameless alouiseg from the venue to Liverpool Street and she said a few days later 'where the fuck did you go'. She had forgotten that we shared a ten minute cab ride and yapped all the way.

well more fool you, Mrs GOML

Darryl would be proper fucked-offski

Balls, I have family thingy to attend to so won't be able to come. :(

Have fun xx

Porto, check your inbox .

Sunny, you should have put this on your calendar when you put your name on the list! What family thingy? Eh eh??

Bella yeah, I'm sure we can come up with another tent. We'll probs get drunk on the fumes alone!

KungFuPannnnnnnda, yes please try and come, would be so lovely to see you and p'raps we might even get around to sorting out lunch now that my irksome urch is back at school!

Porto - You can wear one of DD3's Peppa blankets if that helps?
