COUNTDOWN TO THE XMAS PARTY - NOT LONG NOW! 1 Dec at 8pm...

[CountessDracula]

So, have put our final order in
There are 70 of us

Not had much time for this lately so...

who is wearing what?!

Have asked if we can eat at 9 that will give everyone plenty of time to get there.

nailpolish - you've no need for a badge - just carry jar of nailpolish and we'll know who you are!

Shinny so sorry to hear about dd and on her performance tonight. You're not a bad mother - you haven't had a night off in such a long long time, you deserve it.

LL you've got to come!! to ease your guilt a little I could always chuck you out at Portsmouth if you wanted to come home!

Thanks guys. She's alseep now. Which is good. I started a thread for advice on how to get her "well enough" for tonights show, but Dumbledore'sGirl has been talking a few home truths to me.. .. very nicely mind.

I'm holding out for a miracle tho.. Dd is never ill for long.. (touchwood).

Whoops, are you driving back to Poole then?! Thank you but I am staying in town as I am probably working on Sunday - my old firm are in a blind panic (hurrah, more consulting fees for me, I can actually buy DH a Christmas pressie with my own cash! )

naily you should just paint your nails different colours

I might bring a newspaper (it'll come in useful if the evening gets a bit dull)

Daily Mail?

lol @ the image of mp sitting behind her paper

the Guardian OBVIOUSLY

we could do the crossword if we run out of conversation

bags the Sudoku

I'm driving back to mine in Southampton on Saturday night and then will drop theslownorris back to Poole on Sunday! I am playing hockey in Yeovil tomorrow afternoon so don't think I could cope with the A31 4 times in one day!!

Are you going to be fit to work on Sunday?

Hmm, really? I am quite tempted... especially with DS being under the weather. I could give you petrol money?

I don't know yet if I will need to work on Sunday - it depends how much I get done on Saturday! Would it be terribly rude to let you know on Saturday evening? or would you need to know in advance?

That's fine to let us know on the night!
We will be coming back to Southampton whatever!

Vous etes fab, thank you

but where, I ask again, are you going??

Latin Square.. something.. SW. best work out exactly where before tomorrow hasn't I!

I have got 2 whacking great ziots today

why does it always happen? Lovely cler skin all pissing month, and lo and beholod the day before a soiree, I end up a pizza face

More specifically, see details at beginning of thread here

CD, a forensic examination of my history WRT the party reveals no choice of pudding. It's probably too late now, but if you want to know, I'll go for the Lemon Meringue.

oooooooo
very nice

oooooooo
very nice

Also, CD I now realise I owe you £1.08. Can I buy you a drink?

naah don't worry!

(well of course you can if you want )

I have had a very bad cough / cold / sinusitis all week and am wavering (feeling slightly better today but still not inspired by the thought of tequila and haven't got anything nice and new to wear ). Should I come along and hope that everyone will be sympathetic / forgive my lack of sartorial splendour? Or put my PJs on and watch X factor......

I have grotty cold too - am hoping to compensate by wearing a dress redder than my nose.

Shall we form the Lemsip corner together?
