We need to find out if the LR can offer us a table for the night and and then take it from there?

I honestly would rather sit in a cold bath and chew tinfoil then go to an organised Christmas Party night! However if it is a choice between that and wandering about Edinburgh freezing my bits off to find a bar we can all fit into after dinner so be it!

I must do some work now thou'.

Can't be arsed with drunken office staff. I do like the living room.

NO to karaoke.

I would like to be able to blether without shouting over "rock DJ" and the hustle or other xmas party stalwarts.

MeltingandScreamingIcarus · 10/10/2007 12:17

Although yes the idea of traipsing about in the freezing cold from bar to bar is not appealing.

agalch · 10/10/2007 12:29

I am happy to do whatever everyone else wants to do. I am not singing karaoke tho.Never have and never will lol.

Kitty i will get Dh to phone his friend this week for a price for a cab home. He is at big job interview today so prob be tomorrow now.

Hey, hey - well done you!

All good for me.

Are you going to email your Paypal address out. Will you need to add a bit on to cover any 'admin' costs - don't have a scobby do how it works but recall that CD had to do something re: paypals costs.

Anyhoo let me know.

nailpolish · 10/10/2007 14:41

OP posts:

Are they happy enough to keep it until next Wednesday? If there is a prob I could pay the £100 now?

Thou' perhaps we should wait and see if anyone other then me and you will be going !

nailpolish · 10/10/2007 14:50

Can you do a summer one and I will try to come?

It's crazy - I could go to the big meet up in London but feel happier to go to a Scottish one for some reason.

prettybird · 10/10/2007 16:52

Living Room sounds good to me. Dh says he thinks he has a paypal account, so I'll try and pay via that. If not, I'll get in touch with you nailpolish and we'll sort something out.

Spookykitty - if you really want to come, then you can stay in our spare room in Glasgow if you want. Can't remember if I met you at a Glasgow meetup (or was it you who couldn't find us and so didn't make it?) - but I have been to loads of Scottihs meet-ups and I think most of the other Scottish mumsnetters will vouch for me

GreebosWhiskers · 10/10/2007 17:10

Looks great nailpolish - well done you!

I'll speak to missgriss tonight & paypal you tomorrow

mawbroooooooooon · 10/10/2007 19:27

Living room looks great nailpolish. I was filling with dread as I read about Christmas party nights tbh. Always some shite band or DJ or unfunny crude "comedian" and it's too bloody loud to chat. Ha ha ha how old am I???!!!

Am I the only one who will be sober? Any others who are non drinkers/pregnant/driving etc etc ??

I have a paypal account and will get a fiver to you asap.

MeltingandScreamingIcarus · 10/10/2007 19:39

Mawbroon I will only be having a couple as will have dd2 in the bed later.

bobsmum · 10/10/2007 19:42

mawbroon - am pg - so no bevvying for me - I think we met at one of the Princes Square meets - your wee one was v small then.

agalch · 10/10/2007 22:55
