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.

I can't justify the ££££

and to annoy me, Travelodge have released some rooms

may get a scratchcard on the way home and splurge if I win

me

If anyone drops out now you could take their place as is non refundable...

Yes Countess, that is me with part of my dh.

Et moi

Do you mean the badges have name plus pic, or just a pic so people have to work it out, like a game of Pictionary?

hmmm, my name is tricky as the definition is 'a filthy, slobbering person' there are also references to testicles and a quagmire or a pool of mud containing semi-liquid decayed vegetable matter.

To counteract the vileness of my name I will be looking almost exactly like Keira Knightly in her green dress in Atonement (give or take 5 stone and £1000 on cost of dress).

here you go

Are you very enjoyable and readable??

Well I would like to consider myself enjoyable, but then DH is probably the best person to ask.

Readable hmm not entirely sure

lol at that bloke on the book.

Graham Norton finds you enjoyable.

i am so nervous, i didnt realise about name badges, how the hell do i make a name badge?!?!

i dont know anyone thats going, god im scared now!!

Oh just write your name on a sticker if you like

really is not a big deal!

I am not going to the party [sobs] but hope you all have a lovely time.

Hats off to CD for organising it all - quite a task.

Are most people really dressing up? I was just thinking of wearing trousers & a nice top.

I'm not sure being found to be enjoyable by Graham Norton is such a great thing, nevertheless I like CD's link very much. I may copy, paste, print, laminate & apply safety pin.

Sleepless, either write name on a sticker, or print out a pic and sellotape a safety pin to the back. Easy.

i'm wearing nice top, skirt and high heels (although god knows if i'll manage to get home with them still on!)

i'm gunna have to leave at 11.30 or it will take me 5 and a half hours to get home (an hour journey) because of connection times etc.! not fair

I'm leaving then too - last train from KX just before midnight.

I reckon that should give plenty of time for dancing on the tables.

hang on a minute, my heels are as big as you you'll have to be on the tables or you'll get squashed!

As long as you're not all so drunk that I get absent-mindedly eaten

Kathy. are you still in Cambridge? I will be travelling back to Cambridge Sat. evening.

CD I've just looked up that book. It's all about gay football players....that is really not me at all.

There was a what-to-wear thread earlier - most people seemed to be going for the jeans-and-nice-top option. (I'll be in trousers-and-nice-top as I've never been able to find jeans that fit ). I have come up with a reasonable solution to the name badge problem .

Yes MamaPyjama!
