I'll quite happily sort out paypal/money side of things if a venue is sorted agreed on.

(Venue details you posted looked fine to me. I just want to be able to sit, have something to eat, and talk).

But not if its on the 10th or 17th of November when I CANNOT attend

I'm not sorting out money if im farking going to be there

(tis vvvqv btw)

looks like for this partic venue - it would have to be the 2nd december

Then I'll sort the finances quite happily

Do you mean the 1st? The 2nd is a Sunday, and I have to go to work on Monday.

yes yes sorry 1st 1st 1st

i'll start a new thread - i just can't keep my fucking fingers out can i - tell me to fuck off elusis if i have pissed you off.

..but tell me on the new thread.

Idle, maybe if you e-mail mumsnet towers you get a bit on the front page with link to how to pay for the event.

no no... you haven't pissed me off.

Where are you going to stay?

i usually stop at scummymummy's house - she doesn't know it yet

I think CD is going to kill you, BTW. But, I''l enjoy watching the bloodshed. You beter keep garlic close by for the foreseeable future.

Where's the new thread?

i know

Oh Perleeeaaaseeeee don't do the 1st! Any date but that one. Ds1 will be having his 1st birthday party and Dh will not like me If I miss it

oh gawd
i didn't mean to fix the date just for me!

Honestly
book whatever you want whenever you want and I will come if I can
In dec will be v unlikely but you never know

I seem to remember last year it was in November because everyone has too much on in Dec...

Oh FFS!!!

Wasnt the date already voted on? Weeks ago?

And now people come on saying, "oh no, not THAT day, I have to go to work the next day", "OH I am busy" etc.

Maybe we arrange ONE mumsnet meet for EACH member?

lol at half a bottle per table per minute

I know, Starry. I thought so too. And, who knows, maybe someone else will protest and change the date and place again.

Watch this space...

Doing my head in Eleusis, I think I will leave this well alone, and check back on the Meet Up section at the beginning of November, and take the attitude, if I can, I come!

If you keep faffing about like this NOBODY will want to commit to ANY date and there will be no meet! People will lose interest and say "Fuck the meet"

And of course not you Personally, Eleusis, YOU PLURAL!

Well, I was only trying to help by pushing people to a decision. But, LGJ made it clear that she though I had no such autohirity.

I personally think putting it in December ia a mistake bacause it will conflict with other Christmas parties. But, hey ho, it is what it is. If you want to air your dissatisfaction you should probably say so on the other thread. Probably no one is reading this one anymore.

actually there was a vote
17 november had the most
but then someone decided on 1 Dec randomly!

there will be no area for smokers custy as it is now illegal in enclosed places.

Without wanting to be the geeky one the website does say that the price per head is excl VAT.

So it's more like £30 for the meal (plus the tip of course).

Another Islington venue has been suggested on other thread. Might be worth looking into.

I just suggested a Putney venue, have no clue about the pricing, I recently went to a friends 10th wedding anniversary there with some 120 guests. Fab location, could be too pricy though. Depends on how many signs up. hint hint.
