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.

Hahaha at the baked bean canapés!

Are you going to come lovely Gav? Would be all minds of wonderful if you can petal.

[Portofino]

Lol at the baked bean canapés. I remember the cold mini toad in the holes. I don't remember that much else in detail though. I do have a photo of Blondes with a womble. Like you do.

[HepsibarCrinkletoes]

Excellent Estoy. With a name like that you have to come really and announce it clearly!

I'm doing a list at the mo and then people can add to it.

[LeGavrOrf]

Yes I am definitely. I missed last years Christmas one because of a funeral.

I am going to wear shoes I can bloody walk in though this time.

[RatherBeOnThePiste]

Have that photo too! Why though??

Foodwise, I only ate your chocs Porto

[DancesWithWoolEnPointe]

LOL

[LeGavrOrf]

I was pissed. I remember eating about 5 slices of cake. I don't even like cake.

Dollytwat and I then staggered back to the hotel room and I vaguely remember a mini argument with the receptionist about towels.

[BIWI]

They all start to blur into one after a while, though, don't they?!

[Portofino]

It was Orinoco I think...

[HepsibarCrinkletoes]

Yay!

Yes, the Womble. That was surreal shit.

[DancesWithWoolEnPointe]

The petite four were good though. May have cruised past those when not drinking Hepsibar's wine

[HepsibarCrinkletoes]

Well you obvs liked my cake Gav.

[RatherBeOnThePiste]

No memory of cake

[RatherBeOnThePiste]

which of course means nothing!

[AnnieLobeseder]

Ooooh, ooooh, 23rd is a week after my birthday (jumps on birthday bandwagon with Buffy and Hully) and it's a biggie for me too!

The will be wine. And cake (hopeful). And Boris bikes.

Oh yes.

[LeGavrOrf]

I remember telling dd about the baked bean canapés.

She just looked at me beadily and said 'I bet they were chickpeas and you were just pissed, mum'

You've got to love cynical teens.

[AnnieLobeseder]

And I promise not to cry this year.

[superbagpuss]

is this open to all or just a select few?

[LeGavrOrf]

Pistey!

I remember talking to you when we were both scoffing cake!

[LeGavrOrf]

How old are you Annie.

You look about 18 so which big birthday is this? Your 21st?

[DancesWithWoolEnPointe]

Bagpus - open to all - do come along!

Annie Date is now the 30th.

[AnnieLobeseder]

Ah, LeGavrOrf, you flatterer.



..... 40....

[AnnieLobeseder]

Dances - Really? I should read threads properly. Okay then, 2 weeks after my birthday.

[LeGavrOrf]

No you're bloody NOT. I thought you were going to come back and say 30!

[HepsibarCrinkletoes]

Bagpus absolutely - this lot are the lush contingent. Grown ups are also welcome. Lord knows they're needed..
