SW LONDON XMAS PARTY

[CountessDracula]

Did we ever organise anything in the end?

I WANT A PARTY!

madgirl thank you for your cheque, arrived today.

i've heard from aloha who is sorry but can't come...

anyone else not coming/coming/sending their cheque?

sophable and CD apologies. I've just been rushed off my feet with sick children.

I don't think realistically I'm going to be able make it as we go away the next day and I know that I'll be hopelessly disorganised. Sorry once again for not letting you know sooner

Sophable, CD how are the numbers? Are there places available now?

Bettys is so pissed that she has already tried to post once and failed..

Hic!

OK, I'm giving CD a much earned break from all this and collating all our menu choices. I need to hand the list in early next week so for anyone who still wants to come but hasn't paid up here is the news...

YOU HAVE UNTIL FRIDAY TO SEND YOUR CHEQUES TO SOPHABLE. IF SHE HASN'T RECEIVED THEM BY MONDAY - AND YOU HAVEN'T POSTED ON HERE AS TO WHAT YOU WANT FOR YOUR SUPPER - WE CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FACT THAT YOU PROBABLY WON'T GET ANY SUPPER!

SO, IF YOU WANT TO STILL COME, PLEASE POST ON HERE TO LET US KNOW... ALONG WITH YOUR MENU CHOICE... AND GET THAT CHEQUE IN THE POST PRONTO!

Here endeth the lesson. To everyone else who has sent their cheque etc, sorry for shouting but don't want anyone to think we can't organise a piss up in a restaurant...

x

Ok, for those of you who haven't paid yet... are you definitely coming? We've booked out the entire restaurant so it's pretty important that we either fill it or let him know so that he can keep a table or two spare for anyone daft enough to walk in from the street to a restaurant filled with us.

Plus, as we have to order the food in advance, much as we love you we don't want to end up paying for your meal if you don't turn up!

cheque went in the post on Sunday sophable - have you got it yet?

Ok, here's the latest

Batters,
Beetroot
Bettys
cas73
CD
Ladymuck
madgirl
mrsdoolittle
muminlondon
oldiemum
Pamina3
Sophable
wanny
Unicorn
zolapola
Serenequeen

Have all paid and chosen their food.

Mummylove - you seem to have paid but I can't find your choice of food on here. Can you post asap with it.

Spacemonkey - for some reason I have a distant memory of someone saying you are now coming. Sophable - can you confirm?!? If so you need to choose some food and get your cheque in quick.

Cheques still to come from fairyfly (are you definitely coming, can't keep up!) fisil, dev81 (paying on the night?) - all of whom have chosen their food - and spacemonkey... if she is coming.

Dinny, Kaz33, Metrobaby, Nickiey, potpourri, SW, vivat and xenawp were coming - but aren't now.

This is beginning to feel like some awful O level maths question... if 28 mumsnetters all want fish, but only 3 want cheese, seven haven't paid....

Actually, CD hasn't chosen her food!

Still not coming nope, the train ticket is too expensive and i need to be sensible. Would love to come in the new year without christmas pressures. HAve fun!

fisil, thanks for cheque: arrived this morning (royal mail!)

i'll chase sm to get a definitive answer willow.

dev81 has asked if she can pay on the night as she doesn't have a cheque book. are you definitely coming dev?

whoops shorry what a div!

I will have Sardines, Chicken and Pie thanks! I haven't sent Sophable my chq btw but will drop round to Nozari myself

hello willow2

just received your email and noticed that sophable has put my name down as paid.

im afraid i cant even remember joining in on this thread, i have never sent any money to anyone unless there is another mummylove.

i would love to maybe meet up in the new year, be nice to meet some new people. i have not been on mumsnet for awhile as i am very busy starting up a new business.

but i wish you all a merry chirstmas and hope you have a lovely meal.

take care
mummylove x

No problem - as you can tell it is getting rather confusing at this end! Will email Sophable to make sure that I have all the correct names - don't want someone else to turn up who has paid but hasn't got any dinner!

sorry mummylove...got mixed up between you and muminlondon!

Sophable, did you get my email? I can't come - totally forgot we are all supposed to be elsewhere that night. I have no memory at all anymore. Forgot I was supposed to be out with friends for Christmas drinks last night as well. I think I'm not going to even try and remember anything else until this baby is a year old or so. I'm really, really sorry. I would have loved to have come and you could all have a good laugh at the Humpty-Dumpty looky-likey.

I am in disguise. But that doesn't stop me asking in a very loud voice...

DOES ANYONE ELSE WANT TO COME?

hi - i'd like to change main course pls, had ordered chicken but would like monkfish as allergic to goats cheese (sorry hadn't noticed chicken was stuffed with it before).
Thanks and hope it's not too late!
