Of course not, plumstone.
Do we still want to do About Thyme at 1pm? If so, I'm happy to reserve the space this week. They don't need a deposit but ask if we could confirm -ish numbers by the Wednesday or Thursday morning before so they know how much food to order.
We have to get out by 5.30pm. If lots of people can't make that we can do dinner, possibly 7.30pm might suit. Leave by 11ish. Latecomers can be accommodated, it seems, and they can just drink or order things from the starter menu. In fact, anyone can do that.
Otherwise we can choose somewhere else. I can do either. Just have a vote and the majority will rule.
I'm not much of an organiser, in fact, the last thing I organised was my wedding, which was over 20 years ago and apart from my dress, shoes, minimal flowers, photographers and invitations (which had an embarrassing typo) I left most of that to DH.
But as there doesn't seem to be too much organising to be done here, I don't mind giving it another go. I will not be the Mistress Of The Official Calculator, though. I will be the person who opens her purse drunkenly like it's full of forrin money and goes: 'So how many magic beans do you want?'
Just don't blame me if you don't like it. Adulation and a public holiday in my name would be acceptable if you do
