Just to catch your attention.

I think Custy should scrap the original list and we will start again, so unless you say you are going, your name will not appear ok?

July 15th, Saturday, Tiger Tiger, Printworks, Manchester 6.30pm.

As this will have to be booked, please could you make sure you confirm asap. Custy's always organising stuff like this and I think it's very very good of her, so please just say yes or no then we know if it's worth continuing or else me and Custy are just gonna go on the piss together.

I know there will be last minute cancellations, babies ill, parents ill, stuff like that. That's fair enough, but if you can say now without iffing and butting, then please do so.

I'll say that I'm in.

Oh yeah, sorry Nemo - will take you off the list.

Chloe55 · 03/07/2006 10:01

Northerner · 03/07/2006 10:11

Chloe - I said earlier in the thread that I am still a maybe due to ds's commitments on the Saturday.

Am trying to sort out child care.

Will let you know ASAP.

You won't be able to get pissed will you?

Can I just ask now how many of you are going to piss me off with your diet cokes? You see, I could rely on Custy to get ratfaced, but as she's dropped out I have nightmare vision of you all sipping your diet cokes and looking on disparagingly as I fart the National Anthem whilst drinking a pint of Guinness in one!

No I can't, but I will have my maximum of 2 white wine spritzers and be happy.
Once bubs has made his/her entrance in December I will make up for lost time though!
Im Irish, I don't look disparagingly at anyone getting drunk.

(Anyway wouldn't touch diet coke - it has pheny-what-ya-call-it in itwhich is bad for baby, better to suffer the caffeine in the normal one IMO - but I'm off caffeine too!!)

Chloe55 · 03/07/2006 11:52
