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.

custy have emailed you at your hotmail

I'm getting really nervous now (although I will have my sister to hold my hand ). I'm also having a crisis over which top I should wear. Please tell me I don't have go shopping this afternoon with 4 dc's.

right. Have decided that cold / cough is sufficiently under control that I can make it. V disorganised though, so everyone will have to forgive outfit (dredged from back of wardrobe, chosen from small selection of clothes-that-still-fit) and (if I can find the birthday party stickers from last weekend) the playmobil name tag).

nobody has been put of by the tatler coming then

erm, tatler? (goes in search of thread)

babe

Bree - I am dropping Beegee in Guildford and Urdab D in Dorking if that helps?

Urdab??? Urban

Lady of W thank you very much but I am going to stick with the Richmond plan, my DH is a gem but I don't want to pee him off too much by chopping and changing. IYKWIM

That's fine

Eh what? Who said I'm not coming??!

Getting ready to leave now (for sister's)...

Hope you all have a fantastic time tonight, and we want photographic evidence of pissed-ness posted by lunch time tomorrow

Well.. can't find any refs to comments that would suggest why folks think I'm not coming (I AM!!!).. and have to leave in a sec... xH (!) is giving me a lift into town, because we don't want to take DD out as she threw up in car last night.. see the lengths I am going to, getting xH to do me favours! (He IS collecting his son, DS1 at the same time mind you..)

See you all later!

Actually LadyW can we review the situation on the night. ??

Just thinking it might be easier for DS and DH than Richmond. Will talk to B99 about it this evening at the club, if that is OK or is that just too cheeky for words. ??

sure thats fine

Will buy you large glass of wine.

Honestly, as long as you tell me before we're halfway to Guildford it's fine

shiny sorry thought christmasshinysnowflakes was you!

Have a fabulous time everyone! Hopefully I'll be able to make next year's bash.

See you all later - just waiting for the Walrus to arrive then we're off to get the train My bag is bulging with a couple of Cheeky Italians .... alas only a bottle of Prosecco and a bottle of Bardolino for light refreshments on the journey you understand !!

am coming on my own straight to the venue... how will i know who is a mumsnet? is it only mumsnet people going? do i need a sticker?

haven't worked out what to wear yet. was gonna buy something new but dd has been v odd and cuddly all day and haven't been able to go shopping. so will be doing that throwing on the bed thing mentioned probably at 5pm... its always shoes i have problem with...

mm - we have most (all?) of the restaurant to ourselves, but if in doubt, look for a big single sex group (except Tech ).

You should ideally have a sticker/badge giving a pictorial representation of your MN name.

right, will get on it!
i shall keep my eyes out for lots of ladies wiv stickers/badges...

Oh just seen this, sorry for confusion!
