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.

Oh good
I shall wear a black dress to be different then

I'll 'chum' you back (extra secrity against Saturday night drunks! Am out of practice at going on late night trains.) I can even offer lift at the Cambridge end. (we are in North city)

That's fabulous MamaPyjama, thank you! We are north-west (Storey's Way off Madingley Rd).

Have also not been on a late night train for a very long time....

oh! i havnt even thought of late night train journeys on my own! ! i think this is a bad idea now!

much kudos to CD for organising this - i think 9 is a great time to eat. it wil soak up my first round of pissedness.

i havent got a badge yet - but i still have some of those sticky badge pockets somewhere

i shall be wearing a shiny red top with black trews and some boots that really deserve to go with a skirt - but i dont think skirts and custy pissedness go together cos will prob come out of toilet with it tucked in mi keckers. although might change mind.

custy
i think that would be a GOOD look

I am planning it at some point defo

I have a shoe issue
the ones I want to wear are v comfy for dancing and standing but shite for walking

I have those foldyuppy shoes maybe i should ocme in them

Or i have some others I can walk and dance in but rather dull

May have to buy new ones

oh CD i remember your foldyup shoe thread

i am wearing a dress and leggings and heels. was going to wear a slinky dress but i look pg as i am in the middle of a period. so ill prbably getting wellied too.
why DOES that happen???

GOMEZ

yes ill see you at the airport then. ill prbably be ther before that as dh is an airport geek and actually looking forward to dropping me off and getting his jotter out

do you still have my mbile no? incase of mishaps

Can anyone help me?
I was planning on driving as close as possible but it was suggested that we parked at Richmond and got the tube the rest of the way. I have just looked and it shows it takes about an hour to get from Richmond to Farringdon. Does anyone have any suggestions of closer places to park the tube in?
TIA

Where are you coming from?

Is very easy to drive in from theh WEst over Westway/Marylebone Rd/Euston Rd

You can park on my driveway - I'm just off the A40 and close to Ruislip Gardens tube station. Am planning on heading into town around 6pm if you want to join me and my mate.

Oh and dh is picking us up later so a lift back if you want.

We are coming from Poole!
Thanks Mrs Recycle I'm not sure we would get to you by 6pm as we can't leave Poole til about 5.30ish!

No probs whoops - you can still park on my driveway and get the tube up - straight on the Central line to Chancery Lane - about 45 minutes. But personally, if I were you, I'd just drive there and park up in Farringdon - you can park there after 6pm.

As CD says, very easy to get to - follow the A40 all the way past Euston and park up in Farringdon. It is so easy, I used to do the journey every day when I worked in Farringdon and was pregnant but couldn't hack the tubes.

won;t be that much traffic in central London on a sat night and no congestion charge.

SLUBBER/CHIPPY

do you still want to use our hotel room?

where do you live LL?

Ah ok then!
I was going to do that but Dad seemed to think driving all the way in would be a bad idea due to lots of other people trying to drive in for Musicals etc
Can anyone give me a postcode of Farringdon for the sat nav or should I just plug the one in for the venue?

at driving in for musicals

It will be fine

I drive it regularly not even that bad in rush hour tbh

Stick the venue's one in

naily, yes please. I have been on snackerage expedition this arvo. We are snacked up and ready to go

why?
