Okay, it appears pick the Friday before half term is a tupid idea (see this thread) so we are trying again. Squiffy and I have come up with some more dates. Anyone who wants to join us is welcome to do so.

Please vote on dates by adding your name to the list on the days that you can attend:

Oh, and if you are coming to the Christmas meet-up this is a good opportunity to make a few new friends before the big do.

Your crashing of the xmas meet up thread has worked.

I need to check what my DH is doing (for childcare purposes), but I'd love to join you. Will add myself to the dates when I know what I can do, and hopefully this way I won't have the same shameful experience I had the last time I went to the MN xmas meal.

There will be no shameful behaviour at my favourite Thai restaurant in South Ken. We are all lovely. And you are more than welcome to join us. It will be lots of fun!

I can't come to the xmas party now

I'd still like to meet up with people though so I can come to this? Or is it for xmas party people only?!

Kewcumber · 02/10/2007 20:48

ooh novad - do tell...

Kewcumber · 02/10/2007 20:48

Ros don't think its intended to be a xmas only bash - and even if it is you know you can gatecrash anyway

Shall we make an executive decision and make the 8th? Say 7:00? Shall I book it?

8th good for me (now, how to explain to DH that he has to get home early so I can run off to South Ken to meet a bunch of strange women from the internet....)

Fabulous. Hope Kewcumber et al can join as well.

Kewcumber · 03/10/2007 10:46

Will check with my mum tonight but I expect she will be free, will add name tomorrow.

Have requested booking for 8 people. So if Kew signs up that leaves room for 2 more. And of course I can change the reservations nearer the time if this turns out to be overwhelmingly popular.

I'm not strange. Eleusis isn't very strange, but Cov does like cleaning...

umm...hi there....i saw this thread and am hoping i can come. I have never met anyone on MN in RL - will you all think i'm a bit of a saddo if i come? (ie. you all seem to know each other well !)

ComeOVeneer · 03/10/2007 16:23

OI, you can go off people you know Kew!

ComeOVeneer · 03/10/2007 16:26

7pm is rather early for me, but I will do my best. Seeing as dh has the whole weekend to himself whilst I take the children to my parents I think it is reasonable to ask him to get home early the night before.

I have never met Squiffy or Lagalalien. So, of course you are welcome to join us.

Is 7:00 okay for others? Or should I change the time? It's just that since it had be on a work night I risk turning into a pumpkin before dinner ends if we do it much later. Oh what a tired old bag I have become. If other want it later I can change it. I also thought if people are coming straight from work in London they may want to leave at 5:00 or 6:00.

OP posts:
ComeOVeneer · 03/10/2007 16:37

Don't worry Ele, it is just I can't travel in until dh has travelled out and gets home. So it will be a 40min drive for me so I need to leave about 6.15pm so dh needs to leave work at 5.15pm, which is a good 1.5 hours before he usually does.

balancingact · 03/10/2007 16:39

Oh!
Yes put me down then! Just called DH to said he has to come home early on Nov 8 in case our nanny can't babysit because i have a mumsnet meet up and he is pissing himself laughing.
7pm fine for me!
