Good grief, Gomez, you didn't bore me at all!! You were all really lovely, I had a fantastic night (just wish I'd had a couple of bottles glasses less).

Next time, do you want me to be the sensible one and insist that I buy you all a round of soft drinks?

Booooo hisss I hear you all say.

ok next time we either do

a) food

or

b) dancing

i vote for dancing

food is for lunch meet ups

actually, we could have one of them too

I don't do dancing. But don't let that stop you all!

Bit hard to chat in a club too which might put new people off coming.

ok scrap that then

Aww MB why no dancing???

Even my lovely but shite mover DH can shuffle roung the floor a bit lol

I don't mind what we do tho

I am just not necking wine like it's going out of fashion again

No dancing because I am a boring old fart agalch. That's why! Saying that, if it's a ceilidh then I will be for every dance. Must be the teuchter in me

Well i think you should stop being a boring old fart MB Dancing is fun!!!

I have never been to a ceilidh so would be crap at those dances lol

I have been thinking about this whole drinking too much thing and wondered how you all felt about meeting for the very American "coffee and dessert" next time.

We could go somewhere like the Elephant House, or Cafe Florentin and then it would mean that we wouldn't be heading to the pub until later.

I hope you don't think I am being judgey or preachy or anything. Believe you me, in my drinking days, I would have been the last one standing and it would have been very messy so I completely understand how it happens.

Why weren't you drinking Mawbroon?

I'm teetotal now Lilliput. I stopped competely when I was first pregnant with ds, and just never started again, so it's over three years now since I have touched a drop.

The truth be told, I would admit to having alcoholic tendancies. I was always a bit "all or nothing" with drinking. I just didn't know when to stop, but if I had taken the car, I always knew for certain that I would have none at all. I always found it harder to say no to the second drink than the first.

I also think stopping was a bit tied up with self esteem issues. I was prepared to do it for an unborn baby, but not for myself. IYSWIM.

I will also say that my life has vastly improved in so many ways since I stopped drinking.

LOL, bet you're sorry you asked now.

jeez, i cant think of anything worse than a ceilidh
count me out

LOL nailpolish. Take your partner for the dashing white sergent. I wasn't suggesting a ceilidh, merely pointing out that it's about the only kind of dancing that I would do!

girls, i suggest lunch at harvey nichols one saturday. its good fun and we can have a nose about in the make up bit and stroke the ££££ handbags

have started new thread here

Sounds like you all had a great time!

Although I shouldn't really be, as I had a fantastic time on holiday, saw lots of elephants, giraffes, lions, leopards (including one who tried to play with four rhinos in the middle of a domestic ) plus drank lots of good wine........
