2014 Durham/Teesside/Tyne & Wear Cake Fest

[juneybean]

Thought I'd be premature and create this thread now.

Currently have this meet up planned:

13th Jan - Miss Tina's in Washington

Fat buddha is lush just a bit pricey! I don't mind where we go

My boss is 41+1 -pokes her- make the baby come out!!

Just saw this on my Active Convos. Thought I would pop in and say hi to other NE ladies (and men?!)! :)

Nice to see there are a few of us on here!

I'm based in Sland. Been on here for about eighteen months. Love it - altho feel a bit of a fraud cos don't gave DC... yet!

Ahh I don't have DC either! I'm just the nanny

I try to arrange meet ups in Washington if you're close to there? I haven't got anything arranged for this month but as you can see we're trying to arrange food & cocktails (sans children) in Durham for March 8th (although I stupidly booked work yesterday so I may miss cocktails :( and be there for food!)

Poor planning there juney.

Hello patience, I'm just down the road from you in boldon.

Hi Spiffy :) not far from me at all.

I can get to Washington and Durham etc easily, would love to come along to one of the meet ups! I can't do the 8th unfortunately (I am having cocktails elsewhere for a friend's birthday :o ) but certainly a future one!

Hello patience!

How is the planning coming? Must go poke spb. Anyone seen dupain around? she keeps wanting to come join us.

Have cake. Will revise. Need to get minimum of 69% on this exam to not drop down a classification. Not that it matters really this year but will make me feel better!

Glad I'm not the only one who relies on sweet goods to study!

Shall we go The Capital again then? We didn't enjoy Ask (or zizzi's can never remember which one it is)

What else do they have there? Chiquitos?

What time is every one thinking? I finish work at 7pm in Gateshead so will be ready for food at 8pm if that's okay with everyone?

food at 8 is fine by me. cocktails at 12 noon?

Sounds a cunning plan. Though OH is planning a football trip that weekend as Sunderland are doing suspiciously well in the Cup competitions this year, will still be there. He is off to Wembley the weekend before 'our weekend' for the love of Christ!!

I know what is be saying of dh dared to plan anything on the 8th. Mine is on the wall planner. Mine got there first. so tough luck!

Oh arse, is there more bloody football? I can't wait for summer. Golden, mine is off to Wembley as well. That is going to be a loooong weekend.

Cocktails at 12pm I'd never make it to dinner

But it would be fun to try

I went cocktail drinking a couple of weeks ago. Not as good as ebony though, more quantity over quality. It ended in dancing.

spb and foxy or whatever she is and wherever she is lurking invited.

Been avoiding revision Indith?!

I am recovering from the lurgy and feeling vaguely human for the first time in almost a week. I have stopped sounding like Darth vader when I breathe and can almost stay awake for a whole day. I'll no doubt be 100% by the time half term ends and I have to go back to work

Spiffy, it's the FA cup quarter final in Hull or Brighton that weekend - snooze...

You are not allowed to drop out, either of you. a game of football in Hull is not more important than curry. Trust me, I grew up there .

It's alright, I've made him promise that cocktails will go ahead. Although he is still maintaining that football is more important I think he's just trying to bank brownie points for the semi final. I'm getting a lie in tomorrow as well

I just went to expensive bra shop near in laws .I defy even Rigby and Pellor top do a better job.

I am now poor.

But I bet you have awesome looking boobs

Hi everyone, thanks for the nudge indith. Will be back soon with my diary out, I have an awfully busy social diary donchaknow sometime soon I have a one year old's swimming party
Just wanted to say sorry to hear about your mum Indith that is shit. How did the OP go? glad they have caught it early.

Argh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So much stuff to learn!

golden, if I can but give you one piece of advice it is this. When you have your introduction to anatomy and physiology session with Kath at some point during the module MW0406 you will get a directed learning workbook that is about adaptations during pregnancy and a link to a workbook that is basic background anatomy and physiology. Do it. It feels a little irrelevant, you have other assignments to do and her module won't have started yet. But do it. Trust me.

I am going to use my time so much better this next uni block and keep a list of things I want to look over and learn more about but instead of that list getting longer and longer and never dealt with I am going to keep going in to uni early and use the hour or so before lectures start to tick things off it.

My bras are the best purchase I have ever, ever made. They are so comfortable.

Can I just go do this exam now please?

There is stuff I don't know but I am beyond caring.

Can't wait until 8th!

Who is coming?

Who do we still need to prod?
