Right, so some voting (for dates), and some venue checking has been done, and Me n NappiesGalore have made executive organising planning decisions (based on us having little time and few options )

Saturday 22nd November

Dust Bar (website here)

Nearest Tube Station - Farringdon

It will be canapes, so if you want more food, eat beforehand.

The canapes are being chosen for us - they will be clearly labelled as meat, fish, veg and will allergy advice.

The music we can bring a dj, ipod with playlist set up or have music piped up (music is a very varied mix so should suit everyone). We can use any/all of those options.

Music is quieter at bar end, plus we will have volume control.

They have some fabulous sounding shots

Price will be £20 per head max. I will phone tomorrow to find out when they need final numbers for food etc, and when we have a more accurate numbers list, I can work out the right cost - it WILL NOT be more than £20. If we end up paying more than is needed, then obviously I will buy a new dress divide it up and refund people OR put it behind the bar - whatever you think is best.

How's it all sound?

well done - good decision

RIGHT i am off for my weekly shower, am going OUT for dinner in a bit !

RonAndHarry · 11/09/2008 18:13

OUT???

With DP ?

alexw · 11/09/2008 18:24

can i put my name down too? haven't done any meets before and am quite shy...

RonAndHarry · 11/09/2008 18:31

Yup, Psycho talks to anyone, I tend to cower a bit until I have a few drinks, but am much more confident with my norks out, so should be fine this year

CountessDracula · 11/09/2008 18:34

Why don't we all suggest a dancy track each
then someone can compile a playlist
And we all get something we like

JRocks · 11/09/2008 18:36

Am I meant to have paid someone yet?

CantSleepWontSleep · 11/09/2008 18:38

I'll ask my dj friend if he has any ipod playlists already set up if you like. (They will be v good if he has - he has dj'ed at Brits several times).

RonAndHarry · 11/09/2008 18:42

Payment by Oct 31st at latest (earlier means you can forget you spent it )

So payment details!

£20 per head

Paypal is [email protected] - when it gives you the payment types, please select "other" and then "gift" to avoid me paying your fees. If I am charged fees I will be asking for them back!

Email: [email protected] if you want to pay by cheque, bank transfer, cash or nochex and I will give you the details (Nochex will incur a fee)

dh is calling this my 'works do'. i said fine, but it's coming out of your petty cash. i now have a couple of tenners down my impressive (in the throes of weaning) cleavage. good job i'm doing irony today or i wouldn't be getting a frisson from this, he'd be getting snarled at.

ChupitosGalore · 11/09/2008 23:19

works do
i think that sounds about right.

countess, ok, you start a thread and we can all suggest tracks.
actually, sod it, youve prob gone to bed. i'll start thread now and then referee tomorrow

(and yes, i went out for dinner with dp. was yummy. we saw precisely 10 other human beings the entire evening. not that i miss the big city anytime at all, oh no.)

HarryAndRon · 11/09/2008 23:21

EyeballsintheSky · 11/09/2008 23:24

at eyeballs signing up.

TheDevilWearsPrimark · 11/09/2008 23:27

No one said yes or no to me doing the playlist.

I'm thinking a thread is in order....

Bubble99 · 11/09/2008 23:28

I'll be there.

EyeballsintheSky · 11/09/2008 23:28

I'm going as a wallflower

Nearly said wallpaper

TheDevilWearsPrimark · 11/09/2008 23:31

tuuuuunnnnnnnneeeeeeeesssss

ChupitosGalore · 11/09/2008 23:31

devil... what did you say about playlist? this thread is bloody hard to follow...

anyhoo... have started this one, if that helps??

HarryAndRon · 11/09/2008 23:32

wallpaper sounds very sticky

flowers sound much prettier

TheDevilWearsPrimark · 11/09/2008 23:33

Oh, and my exDH owns almost every cd known to man, and all his cds are still here, so I can make cds to play, if needs be.

ChupitosGalore · 11/09/2008 23:35

sounds great devil... where do you live? maybe you need to have a wine and tune selection/cd making evening...

EyeballsintheSky · 11/09/2008 23:35

Prettier? That's me out then
