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

I have a new charge! Baby Boy was born at 12.40pm yesterday, 7lbs15!

I'm coming!

Indith
Juneybean
Spiffy

Trip, Golden, SPB, Foxy?

Any one prodded Frozen and Leggy?

Oh how lovely! When do you get a cuddle?

Congrats to baby's mother! Does that mean you lose hours, or will she need extra whilst she recovers?

Yay, snuggly new baby.

I get to cuddle tomorrow!

Dad goes back to work in London next week so I'm hoping not to lose too many hours!

Hello all! Thanks Indith for inviting me - I should definitely be able to come! As drinking is off the menu until at least August I think I'll just come for the meal, is that ok? Looking forward to meeting all of you!

of course. Though there is a good selection of non alcoholic drinks too and always a couple of people drinking them should you change your mind. Will be lovely to meet you properly .

Well maybe I will arrive in time for one or two drinks then! Where are you having cocktails? And is dinner at the Capital?

Yes it will nice to meet properly rather than snatching a book out of your hands in the pouring rain! We still have plenty of time to finalise names so I will be poring over your book over the next few months, although I think I have a good idea of what I want and will just have to convince DH...

I imagine it will be ebony followed by the capital. creatures of habit. Unless anyone wants anything different?

we should probably book at some point .

and I should revise. getting fed up.

That sounds fine to me, Indith.
What time are we meeting at ebony?

Golden, it is very kind of you to offer me a sleeping space for the night, are you sure that is okay?

Oh I'm meeing leggy for coffee tomorrow, so will give her a nudge.

Can't wait!

Exam.

Visit mum.

Cocktails and curry.

Dh has somehow managed to make it ok for him to go rowing the evening after my exam because he has promised to pick up takeaway from the Capital on his way home .

LOL he knows you well ;)

so long as I can also drink gin. ds2 had better bloody sleep. How much damage money will I have to give the cm to not let him nap?

golden and spb are we last bussing or splashing out on a taxi?

Have booked for 6 at 8pm at the capital, is that okay with every one?

Cheers juney, we can always add If everyone comes. Need spb and foxy to confirm. Did you have golden on your list?

foxy I'd coming.

juney do you have full time hours at the moment or are you looking for more? Someone posting on mums in Durham business looking for a part time nanny.

My hours are quite full time at the minute, but if they want an agency recommendation I'd say Tinies Childcare they're lovely! The only thing I'm looking for are last minute bookings/baby sitting :D

I think I picked a random number for the table but I'm sure we can change it when we get confirmed numbers.

Leggy may join us for cocktails if in the afternoon
She said it might be an idea to book a table at Ebony as it was really busy last time you went, apparently!

Ooh can we book a table at a ebony?! We totally need to do that....

We really do!

Definitely coming!

Indith, SPB don't mind slumming it on bus or taxi.

Trip, you are more than welcome to stay at mine.

Sick of this thread falling of my watch list!

How about we bus in and then we can decide on a means of transport home later!

Cocktails cocktails cocktails!

And foooood!

Excellent

So tis Spiggy, juney, golden, foxy, dupain, Indith, Trip, SPB?

So 7/8 for food?

And whoever turns up for drinks. What time shall we meet to get a few rounds in?
