Here are one or two suggestions, depending on who wants to come...feel free to add your own!

The Old Manor in Potters Bar, lovely pub restaurant with great food, mixed, mainly English style.

Via Pensiare in Radlett. Lovely lovely Italian restaurant frequented by Madonna and Vinny Jones.

My local curry house - yum yum - The Viceroy in Bricket Wood.

Is this the one? Bizarre restaurant site - has its own forum? What on earth do you discuss?!?!

Count me in - a one off Saturday would be good. Anywhere (have car) and any of the 3 dates maentioned are fine for me. I imagine we'd have to book for a Saturday night group though.

Grommit · 05/05/2004 14:38

Please not June 4th - I have arranged a dinner for my postnatal group...any other Sat!!! Don't want to miss this meetup too (Kayleigh will kill me)

meandthomas · 05/05/2004 15:14

wagamamas definitely gets my vote...
june 5 sounds fine...yay...

Kayleigh · 05/05/2004 15:25

Grommit, can't you just kiss that weekend goodbye and resign yourself to being drunk as a lord for two days?

DH has squash on a Mon but can ask him to rearrange a diff day if that helps. Janstar, can you change your plans on a Mon to make that available?

The other advantage to a Sat. is that we have 'help' the following day (dh/dp's) if we're knackered. Plus the drive up to St. Albans is a long one. If it's a one-off Sat. that fine with me. Won't be drinking though

I think if we can we should find a date that Grommit can come to. I can do the 29th or the 5th (agree with Kayleigh about the 22nd though).

Does that help anyone?

karen99 · 06/05/2004 10:49

Of June 12th? A long way off, but if it means more of us..?

Sis, I've never been to a waggamammas either!

I agree with Karen. I'm available some Mondays but I think Saturday is a much better idea. Come on melsy, what do you say? It's only once in a blue moon. Dump your dh at my house and my dh will drag him to the pub.

karen99, we can be the 'Wagamammas virgins' if that is the democratically chosen venue!

So what do we all think about June 12th?

OP posts:
melsy · 08/05/2004 16:50

Will ask dh if he minds I just wouldnt want to sit in on a sat on my own if he does it the other way round . Not becuase im possessive or weird anything, its my fear of long nights alone panic atacks and all. wot a dingwot Iam !!!

I lurrrrrrve wagamamas yipppppeeeee. I am wagammas veteran, I used to work in Covent grd were the 1st one opened. I can help newies choose stuff and have a wonderful meal. Its great fun food.

Grommit can't make the 5th so someone suggested the 12th - just got to find out if that's okay for everyone.

This is starting to look like we are not going to find a date that suits everyone

melsy · 08/05/2004 17:42

I feel like Im being the biggest pain now, sorry Janstar et al.

Not at all, Melsy. In an ideal world we'd find a day when everyone can come but it doesn't look like that's going to happen this time. What does everyone think we should do?

Unfortunately it looks like we might have to choose between the 5th without Grommit or the 12th without melsy What a rotten choice to have to make.

Perhaps we will just have to vote for whatever day suits ourself best, regardless of who can come and just go with the maximum votes. Does everyone think that's fair?

Both days are equally suitable for me, so I'm abstaining.

OP posts:
eddm · 08/05/2004 18:20

Another abstention here

sis · 08/05/2004 20:01

both dates fine for me too. sorry, not much help in deciding is it?

eddm · 08/05/2004 20:04

Ahem. How could I forget that my sister's due date is the 12th? BAD big sister me. But first pregnancy so if it runs true to form she should be still under starter's orders...

Kayleigh · 08/05/2004 20:14

I can do either too.

meandthomas · 08/05/2004 20:16

I should be able to do either..will need to sort babysiter for the 12 though...

It is beginning to look as if the 5th is going to win. Come on, Grommit, dare to go out 2 nights in a row. It's just this once.

If it were me I could find some way of making dh feel better about it! Use your womanly wiles
