Christmas Meet Up for all the Gin Hags (and Wine Witches and Vodka Vixens)

[HepsibarCrinkletoes]

Righto, we're at that time of the year again where a Christmas Piss Up in London Town is needed. I propose a date a few weeks before so as many as possible can join in - how about Saturday 23rd November.

This has only been mooted last night, so I've not even got a venue as yet, but I have some ideas. I will, of course and usual, try to make it an easily get-to-able-near-a-traveldodgy place so that those that come into London can take advantage of cheapy rooms in advance.

So...please can y'all start putting names down so I have an idea of numbers initially and I'll get cracking with a venue in the next week or so. Further down the line I'll put the usual FB Group together (for those who are both on FB and happy to join) - I won't be posting the venue on MN as I'd prefer the hairy of hand not to know. Those not on FB I'll chat via PM near the time.

I will bring more chocolates.

Porto, don't go bankrupting yourself though, they cost a bomb last time.

Marvellous, have already told DH and the kids that I'm out with you lot that weekend...and it's the week before my 40th, so I may bring a pre-birthday cake with me. Yay!
Am in Chingford, NE London, but may book a room at the Travelodge, to avoid a 3am cab across London.
VERY excited and looking forward to finally meeting some other MN'ers.

Hurrah, another birthday and more cake!

I'll sort a FB group later or tomorrow for us. I've not got a venue yet, but will be sorting that out in the next week or two, then the traveldodgy lot can perhaps do block bookings to get better rates

Sorry,I am being dense. 30th of which month?

November Science.

Thanks Heps, you are fab for sorting the venue etc.

Aw Bella - nice Belgian chocs and cheap fags for the masses are the least I can do for being an atrocius cunt most of the time. Last time I went on the Eurostar my bag had Marlboro lights, silk cut, golden virginia, chocolate and a large amount of vodka.

No wonder I am a popular party invitee!

No kidding Porto you are the loveliest of band influences

I will bring Belgian Genever this time I think. Several flavours of.

BAD influences, not band. Fucking autocorrect.

You need one of those pull-long trolleys, Porto

Bows and scrapes and practicing curtsey for other lufflys. You were so stunning Gav I was scared to say hello

I need a lorry I think Bimble

Married! That is extraordinary that you think that. I was in ghastly shoes which I had bought that morning which didn't feet and I felt like I was stomping like some fiat footed solider from the First World War. I thought you were very grand and thought I had the equivalent of a Wurzel smock and straw in my hair being some strumpet from the West Country.

I also remember thinking you were fabulous hearts and didn't speak to you enough.

Oh for heavens SAKE at the typos.

Didn't fit.

FLAT footed. Not fiat. I didn't have a Seicento on my feet.

And Porto I remember you and I work in the same fucking kind of job.

Yes indeedy Le gav. Procurement as my Belgian bosses will insist on calling it

Oh bad luck Fru! Sorry you can't come on the 30th ... are you sure?

I say i am in IT Sourcing if anyone asks.

Oh yes procurement. The department hated by everyone. They loathe us more than HR fgs.

And I work in central government procurement so I am the lowest of the low, and every so often Francis Maude calls us the Whitehall equivalent of a bunch of incompetent cunts and gets Deloitte or PwC at the cost of many millions to tell us how to do it properly. It's lovely.

Nobody cares knows what I do. I am like Chandler from friends.

Years ago someone asked my daughter and she said aeroplanes, spreadsheets and telephone calls.
