I have sunk below even our low standards.

I have approximately eleventy billion things to think about and I think my brain has rebelled and gone on strike. I am so tired I can barely string a sentence together and it took me 3 goes to count to 10 this morning. I had to stop work and go to bed this afternoon. It was either that or lie on the floor sobbing.

I've got a 15 hour day tomorrow. Starting at 5.30am. Sob.

Don't forget me and VikingLady!

Yep, me this time!

I'm definitely hoping to be there. Can't remember if I booked it into the calendar yet.

Will it be the same place as last time? On claypath?

paleontologist have you got bananagrams? It's a good one for younger children because everyone can play to their own level - you are effectively competing against yourself even though it is a game that you play with other people. It looks expensive for what it is but I think it's worth it!

Yes, we love bananagrams. ds2 not quite that advanced though .

DuPain yep that's the one!

Are we aiming for 8pm?

no no no no no no no no no no no we need early drinks with cake again. Was brilliant when we did that. Plus then there will still be places open for coffee after.

Sorry! 8pm for meal I meant!

How long does one need between cake and curry in order to enjoy said curry?

We could just fill any space between cake and curry with even more cocktails.....

Very true.

I'll book it tomorrow when the sprogs are snoozing. So 7.30pm or 8pm? Or some other time?

I shall be on the virgin cocktails but yes cake sounds good!
Café Continental? They do have the most fabulous cakes.

They do. Though ebony also have cake to go with your cocktails earlier on.

mmmm tempting!

I'm sure you could have a sneaky alcoholic cocktail with cake nice and early on. Cocktail at 4/5pm, driving at 11pm?

That's true!

I've invited AnitaBlake as well... she's going to double check to see if her DH is free that weekend and get back to me.

I've booked the table they only had 8pm left anyways so have booked for 10 people just in case

Perfect.

Damnit, I'm at a wedding on 8th Nov! No idea how that skipped my mind...! At least there will still be booze and cake. No curry though...

Feck. Can't go on the 8th of November as am away for the weekend and it hadn't been written on the calendar of joy.
