I love the sound of this but I'm too scared to come. Custy is the only person on the whole list I have actually met in RL.

zippitippitoes · 07/11/2007 17:52

oh spidermama do come

zippitippitoes · 07/11/2007 17:53

I haven'ty met any of them

zippitippitoes · 07/11/2007 17:53

exceot me of course

CantSleepWontSleep · 07/11/2007 19:08

Does your odd spreadsheet also have mustrunmore as paid on it CD? She mentioned (but under her bonfire name) lower down the thread that she paid you on 11th Sept.

ComeOVeneer · 07/11/2007 19:57

OK , I will double check my next statement that the money has gone out, just in case.

Hallgerda · 07/11/2007 21:18

serenity, thanks for the offer. I'd love to travel there with you. How about taking the Thameslink from Streatham station to Farringdon? There's one at three minutes past seven and another at nineteen minutes past - the journey takes about half an hour and there are no changes.

mummymagic · 07/11/2007 21:32

I don't anybody either

BeetrootMNRoyalty · 07/11/2007 21:33

who are KC1234545567

mummymagic · 07/11/2007 21:33

that's, I don't know anybody either...

Spidermama · 07/11/2007 21:59

I must say I'm very tempted. I was sorry to miss out last year.

Right I'll run it by dh.

gizmo · 07/11/2007 22:05

I still don't believe you all exist. I'm expecting to walk into Club Havana and be confronted by a giant computer monitor and a keyboard.

zippitippitoes · 07/11/2007 22:19

go on u know u want to spider and gizmo sounds like a good mate for a giant pc lol

Tortington · 08/11/2007 08:57

spidermama - if you would like i could get off at bighton and we could get the bedford train together - we can then meet scummymummy t'other side at farringdon probably.

nailpolish · 08/11/2007 09:05

spidey id love it if you came! i dont know anyone either...

oliveoil · 08/11/2007 09:28

my hotel room went , it is full again now

so, erm probably no Olive appearance

am checking Travelodge every day and Virgin Trains for £9.50 fares

MamaPyjama · 08/11/2007 10:06

PLease come Spidermama - I don't know anyone either. (terrified, what have I done, why am I going to meet a bunch of truckers emoticon)
Gizmo - I'm travelling back to Cambridge that evening.

LoveAngel · 08/11/2007 10:47

I want to but I'm scared. What if nobody talks to me? Arghhhh, it will be like a recurring nightmare I used to have (insert shitting it icon)
