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.

Hi WhitePeacock!

You should definitely come. We need someone to make sure Heps and Pistey don't neck all the gin

Seriously, you should come, it's great fun.

[MABS]

a brilliant description married :)

[BellaVita]

Peeaaaaaaacock, do come my lovely.

[EstoyAqui]

WhitePeacock you had better bloody come. Who else will I share my wine with if you are not there? Also, I need some new reading recommendations.

[PaperPomPom]

Ok. It's made it into my diary under "meet gin hags". Could someone please PM me details like times so I can work out if it's worth me trying to make it home or I'd be much better off touting for unfamiliar company in a dodgy?

I'm very excited!

[Blondeshavemorefun]

Peacock and paperbum - you are most welcome - and if you were thinking of staying then pretty bird needs someone to share a room with

Ps peacock you may drink gin with me :)

[WhitePeacock]

Oh my word! I have been hard at work preparing this evening (shockingly on the not the gin - I'm working towards the booze triathlon) and now want to do a little sentimental weep. I will be there with my hair in a braid and a rosy red nose! Please can I have a PM so I know where to come?

[BewitchedBotheredandBewildered]

prettybird a Scot by adoption

My DH and his father and their whole family are kind of Scots by hereditary osmosis...

• Scottish family name
• wear the family tartan kilt with the Bonnie Prince Charlie jacket at any and all formal occasions, including our wedding
• we got piped in to dinner by a bagpiper at our wedding too. I felt like a haggis.
• the name of the county in Ontario where my PILs live is really and truly called Glengarry
• Every summer they hold the Maxville Highland Games, which is meant to be the biggest highland games in the world outside of Scotland

[HeartsTrumpDiamonds]

I figured out paypal all on my own. I am extremely proud

[HungryGeorge]
