(i have taken the names from the bottom and filled the spaces so we get an idea of how many at a glance)

IF YOU ARE COMING TO THE CITY AND HAVE BOOKED A HOTEL it might be nice to let other mumsnetters know so you can get back together - share a taxi etc

IF YOU ARE COMING INTO THE CITY AND are ariving at a mainline station it might be nice to let mumsnetters know so you can meet up and travel in numbers more safely.

Pinkchampagne - where are you coming from?

Does anyone know of any cheap Travel Lodge type hotels around there?

2 alcoholic beverages together!!

I am coming from Kent, Ginmummy, & am feeling just like you! I have never done London all alone before!

At least if we are lost together, it won't be quite so scary!

We could drink pink gin cocktails all night!

I just need to check for a babysitter for that weekend and I'll get back to you.

Pinkchampagne and Ginmummy, if you liked you could join me and Essbee for one of those rooms for 4, I think that's what people did last year. Travelodge type places sleep 4 usually don't they?

have no idea what you are like but your names sound hopeful!

i could change my name to Homemadefennelwine if it helped

LOL, fennel!

That sounds good to me! I "know" essbee - she is my MSN buddy!

Make sure your name is listed here as it's the really truly final thread.

... I think ...

Ginmummy - have you decided whether to come or not yet?
I will need to book a room soon, as it's only a week away now!

Pinkchampagne - I've only just got my home internet access back, sorry.

I can't come, I don't have a babysitter. I really wish I could come and I'm sorry for getting your hopes up of meeting up and sharing a room but I've been let down with the promise of a babysitter.

I'm really sorry.

No worries, Ginmummy - just thought I would check what if you were coming or not before I book somewhere.
Shame you can't make it though.

Would it be ok if a contingent from MNHQ popped a head in? Would be the first time I for one had made a Mumsnet meet-up and not been up the duff for many a moon...
Carrie, Olivia keen to come too. Possibly Rachel also...we promise to be good (ish).

What about Abbey?

She really likes me

Abby and Boris, sitting in a tree...

Sadly, Boris was so witty, Abby wet herself laughing and tumbled out

yay...justine...can you persuade steve tech to come? he was so lovely!!!

Abby loves me, I'm gutted she's not coming to the meet-up

Her and Harpsi will be somewhere laughing

"mwah mwah mwah that witty boris is in Rubys now being all witty without us mwah mwah mwah"

Or something like that

erm....she might be

Really?

is harpsichord coming???? pleeeeease come!!!!!

She's not isnt that sad?

yes

harpsichord, there is no excuse (i don't think?)

pleeeeease come pleeeease pleeeease pleeeease????

Do not fret Ms Sophable

Because you get to meet me

yeah but i don't really know you yet do i?

haven't even had a good fight with you yet have i?

ms sophable puts me in mind of gone with the wind turn of phrase wise

Are you sure?

You like fighting

I like fighting

We must have by now

I should have a fight with everyone who is going so that when I turn up no-one will want to talk to me!

Oi Welshy! What do you call a Welshman with a stick up his arse? Taffyapple!

Ha ha ha!
