Sorry...looks like I kept missing this thread each time it revived recently...not ignoring you. Promise.
Incidentally, I can't make either date, blah blah blah reasons reasons ( I do have them, but you don't want to know the minutae of my life!! )

Have a great time though. Wish I could be there.

PS - fennel - i wasn't at the last one either, ipodthereforeipoor used to be woosmummy I think.

still can't confirm "plus one" for tomorrow night as her son has had a bug for the last few days - has anyone's child NOT had a bug? Hopefully he will be better by Fri, though no guarantee.

hi Lesleyworm. I don't think an extra person will matter. I booked for 8, including 7 of us, plus maybe your friend. My sister is coming too (a very occasional mumsnet lurker).

see you all tonight. I'm coming with Pageturner, we are going to aim to be at the White Hart soon after 7.30. I am about 5 ft7, reddish brown bobbed hair. no idea what I'm wearing. and if i get really really organised I might be wearing a badge with a fennel plant on!

Should I bring a well-thumbed book?

A conversation with dh has reminded me that the White Hart has several bars. Can I suggest we meet in the FRONT RIGHT-HAND BAR?
Hope that's OK.

I'm going to bring a copy of Strangers on a Train by Patricia Highsmith and I will leave it ostentatiously on the table/at the bar where fennel and I are. (It's the best I can do that will fit in my handbag...)

Strangers on a Train

Bump if any of you West Country people are around!

have not yet had time to produce a fennel badge and with visiting child as well as my 3 to feed am perhaps going to have to rely on looking like the sort of person who might be called Fennel rather than having a badge....

Another bump for Chubbleigh, Lesleyworm, Greensleeves and Cassoulet

Another!

Evening all

I'm not faffing about constructing badges at this stage in the proceedings - I'm the chubby tall-ish one with the scruffy bun and too much cheap jewellery

ggrrrrrrfffffllluuuurrrrrb

i said fffflllllUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRbbbbb

ffluuuuurb

and it's all YOUR fault

yes, I'm looking at YOU!!

Morning Greensleeves!

How are you feeling? Personally suffering from a slight fogginess around the synapses, but all in a good cause, right? I for one had a really nice evening. Good to meet Lesleyworm , Lesleyworm's friend and Chubbleigh.

Where were you Cassoulet??

is it morning?

Ha ha ha! feeling a little delicate today, my dear? Tsk tsk tsk.

Me? Who? Delicate? How very dare you!

Fresh as a daisy, me!

I think you need more practice at this drunk lark. Come and hang out at mine and we'll work on your tolerance!

By the way, Greensleeves, I'm sorry we didn't finish that conversation when we got to restaurant. keep it in mind and we'll carry it on next time.

Oh no, I've missed this!

Oh franca! Sorry, you missed it. We'll have to have another one sometime soon.

That'd be nice. I've actually been away for a while. Sounds like you hade a great time !

Yes, I had a really nice time too. It was good to meet some new people.

It was nice to meet you too, Chubbleigh . We'll do it again...

I enjoyed it too. Next time we'll have to make sure Ilovedolly and Franca get to come too.

And I hope the 2 who stayed at my house for the night enjoyed the unscheduled extra entertainment of my meek well-behaved dd3 entering toddlerhood with a vengeance.
