Is anyone interested in a huge mumsnet christmas party/meet up?

[WideWebWitch]

OK, thought I'd bite the bullet and start this thread as we were talking about the possibility on the "we're great, we are" thread

Is anyone interested in a christmas meet up? I know it's early but you know how time has a habit of flying by... I'm happy to organise if so. You can post here or email me at [email protected] I'm thinking probably London or just outside London as the place and the venue depends on how many want to come. Like batey's idea of a 70s/80s theme...

www 5pm is ok for me too...especially as bayleaf & alisa plan to go for that time & we look like we may be staying at same hotel.....bayleaf i did get your e-mail don't know what happened to the 1st 2??

I am sooooo looking forward to this (but slightly nervous too..1st outing since the birth & other problems!

www...what do we do about getting money to you? Surely its going to be quite a big deposit with so many people.

dixie, haven't got around to booking yet but ks is helping with that and is going to let me know when she's called them. When it comes to stumping up for a deposit I'll let you all know: then I will be looking for FIRM committments and hard cash!!

Hi all
I haven't been around in a while, but if anyone is travelling from the north east I would love to come if it is ok with you?
Don't much fancy the trip by myself though!!

Scatterbrain> fellow Reading-ite.!!!!...this is good...E-mail me .... [email protected] we can be nervous about it together, perhaps we should both get the train, so we can both have one or two gin and slonics????

CAM, I wish I could, it would be a laugh! Unfortunately 12000 miles would be a long way to come!!!

So you've probably told us you live in NZ or Aus (must be to be that far away) on mumsnet already haven't you - and I've got the world's worst memory (old age) and therefore forgotten!

Put me down too please!

And I'm fine for a 5pm start, thanks www and ks.

Dixie - another returned e mail! - I've tried sending it from hotmail now - fingers crossed that it will get through!

Bayleaf/Dixie - We've got somewhere to stay,if you don't see it first, I've just sent you both an email with the details.

London here we come!!!

Noooooooooo we DO NOT want to be surrounded by howling kids! Agree! Yes let us know if there's a quiet wine bar nearby where all 5pm ers could meet ks, thanks for booking it.

YIPEEEEEEEEEE!

KS, Do you need a deposit?

ks, 'fraid I'm going to have to back out now, unfortunately; dh has planned a weekend away and it wasn't written on the calendar.

I can only really come of there is anyone from the north / north-east. If anyone is travelling from up here please let me know, if not I will not be able to make it!
Thanx

Sadly I think I should be sensible (...why start now...?) and bow out now rather than at the last minute. 30th Nov is 3 days before my due date, so I probably won't be in a wild party mood!! On the other hand - Mears and Leese are you going? After a fantastic home birth last time round maybe a restaurant birth would be an interesting variation!! Quite fancy going into labour with gin and tonic in hand (Only joking!!)
Hope you all have a wonderful time - I'll be there in spirit!

I am definitely still coming - 30th November at 6:30 pm. Let me know what deposit needs to be paid and how I can get money to you.

I am only normally available on-line on Wednesday and Thursday (only days I work - can't find time to get on computer when I am not at work!!!) and on 14th October am going away on holiday for one week.

Let me know if you need the deposit before I go on holiday as I would hate to miss out on this.

Feel a bit nervous about meeting up but, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Hooray!!!!!! getting VERY VERY excited but also quite nervous...thank goodness I'll be meeting up with you Alisa & Bayleaf 1st! (arrange that nearer the time)

Ks I'm a probable 5pm starter so keep us posted of where we'll meet if it gets sorted...& of course the money front!!

Me too please ks.
