justaboutconscious
squonk
kayz
humphrey cushion
bellavita
mistlethrush
youknownothingofthecrunch
madmuggle
pampam

all able to make it on the day.

Any more?

we can dodge the clouds

I'll make sure the kids have their all-in-one waterproof suits and wellies on and that I bring DHs golf umbrella.

It'll be great to finally meet you and Chloe trace and pheonix if she can still make it. Are you bringing DS as well. Mine os giddily exciteable about it!

ooh squonk i was at that Brucie concert - Clarence Clements announced the birh of his new baby!

yes am bring ds do i bring a football? for them to play with i carnt wait to meet yous two

I'll bring frisbee and football (although tbh DS doesn't really know what to do with one as DH is the least interested in sport of any man I know)

sorry everyone, I went to my mum's for a week or so

right.

11.00 am
Friday 15th (the day after tomorrow)
Outside Tropical World
Wearing name badges (or badges that look like this: like we had last year [I think twas Gingermonkey's dd who made last year's but I may be wrong there....])
I suspect that the best place to park will be the car park just down the hill and it's not much of a walk up to Tropical World.

Bring a picnic and a ball/frisbee/barbie/machete - whatever your own kids will be happy playing with.

Looking forward to meeting you all.

I may lose internet over the next couple of days (dp is decorating and this room is next on his hit list) so if I'm not on line at all, I'll see you all then.

I'm suddenly feeling a bit nervous and like I won't know anyone, but still planning on coming.

We'll recognise you; there can't be too many heads of brocolli in school uniform with blond bunches wandering around in the school hols

Don't think i'll be coming, i'd prob only get an hour or so before i'd have to leave to get to work in Wakefield

i'll be there, (aka pampam).
Am also nervous.

im very nervous

That's a shame phoenix, hopefully we'll have a winter meet you'll be able to get to.

Is this everyone?
27 of us in total?

CVQ - don't be nervous. Is anyone coming with you?

Im coming with just my youngest.. so don't be scared/nervous

It'll just be me and my dd (26 months)

All those who aren't nervous, stand up now!

We all still up for this? despite the fact that there may be "scattered showers" according to my weather forecast.

Hope so, I've bought a cool picnic rucksack thingy just for the occasion (don't tell dp, I promised I wouldn't )

See you all tomorrow morning

i am

See ya tomorrow (should have brought my huge yellow cape over the head with hood type thingy home from Florida with me last week) damm knew it would come in handy for something

just to forewarn you now though I may smell of garlic - having a homemade curry that my Dad made for tea tonight. If you need to gossip about me can you get it out of the way now before tomorrow

Lame drop-out alert: The bloody garage have just phoned to say my car won't be ready until Tuesday. It's about an hours walk for me so if it's a beautiful day and I fancy the walk I will see you there, but if it's squallish and my children are being horrid about leaving the house I will wimp out.

aww, brocs!!! hope the weather stays fine and the kids stay lovely so you can come. Twill be a pity not to see you there.

hello dahlink [false smile] we were just saying how fragrant you are today

Bellavita - was that what you meant?

Just looked at the five day forecast and tomorrow is the best day - shows only a white cloud and partial sun.

Squonk - you of all people pah!

Broccoli is there no bus you can get? I'm getting the 12 from the city centre, is that any good for you?

bellavita - I figured if I did it, you'd know I was joking and nobody else would feel the need

I'm a true friend that way, you see
