Currently have this meet up planned:

13th Jan - Miss Tina's in Washington

Have marked my place on the Crimbo thread.

After all my good intentions to meet folks for cake over the summer I ended up spending most of my spare time doing reading for boob counselling - and I am now a boob counsellor! Was advised by the lady at LLL-central not to talk about this on FB for fear of having personal opinions conflated with organisation, so am talking about it here in the veil of pseudoanonymity!

Have taken one help call so far, which served a lovely function of getting DH from strongly opposing the whole business (cutting into family time) to being proud as punch that I was doing it. He's a strange man...

How's the course going Paleo? Are you finished at Easter?

Urgh, back to work tomorrow. Regretting the 2 weeks ignoring the blackberry now. Did have lovely newborn snuggles with nephew today though. Smile

And I'm home again. 1 week in Norfolk followed by 3 nights with my lovely Mamie in France. Bittersweet the last one was. Need to get back to it now!

Brilliant isn't it, all other aquariums pale in comparison.

D must have been in seventh heaven meeting a real live paleontologist Grin

We were in Yorkshire last week- went to the deep as you suggested a while back. They loved it- ds2 has now decided he wants to be a diver so he can swim with sharks.

Washing machine for between 3.15 and 5.15. Fingers crossed for 3.15! Whole family dosed with ovex, happy days.

Holiday was good really. I'm not but I think everyone had a good time, lotsof splashing in the sea, found out all about the west runton elephant/mammoth, dd got to talk to a real live paleontologist and then because she had spent the entire week demanding to eat lobster we went to a lovely, relaxed place called "Rocky Bottoms" which serves up very local crab and lobster and she and ds1 demolished a lobster dripping with garlic butter between them. Ds2 has yet to be convinced about seafood. Going to see my lovely Mamie on Tuesday a couple more days to eat ice creams and swim in a slightly warmer sea with more waves :)

Come along gatekeeper, all that is required is a love of curry/cocktails/cake/MN/all of the above.

Cocktails are usually at ebony where we sit outside under blankets and complain about not being able to hear ourselves think with the noise inside while drinking delicious cocktails.

Curry is usually the capital which does lovely food while we talk about everything under the sun until I remember I have to catch the last bus back to Sunderland...

People welcome to join us for either or both parts of the evening.
