go for it, then it's done and by the beginning of Dec we'll have another count up. What shall we do if they ask for a deposit?

weeonion · 03/10/2007 19:36

nailpolish - i agree that it should be booked. it will be getting too close very soon and all the office parties will be getting their nights sorted. if a deposit is required - i doubtthey will take individual ones so i guess we will need a brave volunteer to cover it and then everyone sends cheques or paypals v v v soon??

Nailpolish - if they need a deposit, get in touch with me and I'll cover it. If you've still got my e-mail, use the first part of it (ie my first name.last name) @tiscali.co.uk. I'm still not back at work, so don't want to have to log in to my work e-mail account.

Let me know on here though, as I tend not to use my tiscali account.

lazyemma lives in fife, she said she would like to come, I'll point her in this direction

Good news!

Woah - well done Nailpolish.

Might see you before then thou'......

hellnats · 04/10/2007 23:40

No one from Ayrshire? I know there is - surely some1 wants to go along too. I really want to come but dont fancy coming on the train on my own.

prettybird · 05/10/2007 00:19

There are one or two Scottish mumsnetters who are in Ayrshire - buit I'm not sure if they've been on recently.

Mears and Tissy are both in Ayrshire, but they never come to meet-ups: ashame 'cos I'd love to meet them

I know you don't know me, but others can vouch that I'm not a hairy trucker - but if you needed a bed in Glasgow, rather than going on to Ayrshire, you could stay in our spare bedroom.

You'd have had all evening to get to know me!

Try doing a search on Ayrshire and seeing if there are any names you recognise.

gomez · 05/10/2007 00:22

Hellnats don't believe Prettybird he, oops she is most definately of the hairy handed trucker variety.

Scrubs up well but still dodgy.....

[Only kidding she is lovely and would I am sure make you very welcome.]

prettybird · 05/10/2007 00:52

Oi gomez - what are you doing up so late - working on an essay are you?

My excuse is that I'm keeping dh company while he puts "supplied by" labels on to bottles of wines he using tomorrow for a wine tasting.

We're watching the Pop Hits of 1986 and feeling old

geordiemacmummy · 05/10/2007 08:10

DONT STAY WITH PRETTYBIRD....I seem to recall she has a VERY scarey dog...

geordiemacmummy · 05/10/2007 08:15

Ooops Apologies Prettybird wrong MNer, Its Maddog who has the scary do (clue was in the name really wasnt it??)

Although I seem to recall she lives down Ayrshire way?

oh prettybird i am thinking of organising a wine tasting to raise funds for school PTA - where do i start?

OP posts:

Nailly - I am sure PB's DH will be able to provide you with lots of help for an upmarket wine tasting. BUT a few years ago we arranged one to fund raise and used Oddbins on George Street. They do the lot for you - wine's/glasses/tasting info. Was much fun.

Sorry PB - not trying to sabotage your DH at all. Have had a wee look at this web site too - looks like it will be v. good. How are you doing? I was studying by the way - 'ti bloody hard work this being a student lark. Thank Christ DH is home tomorrow!

hows uiversity going?

OP posts:
gomez · 05/10/2007 12:32

Is going well Nailly but I am having to work hard - in the style of a keen more mature student, i.e. I am the only one preparing for tutorials.

I am jealous of all those whipper snappers with their hangovers. DH did say it wouldn't be as much fun second time around.
