Last Roll Call For The Manchester Xmas Do.

[ToThrottleABlackBird]

29th November at Waxys

I think Doodle needs the payments in full by no later than the 5th November (gives paypal enough time to transfer)

Please list your names if you are deff coming.

xx ei xx

Don't worry HappyEI.. I will leave it until I meet you to decide if you are barking or not...

Same here
I hope I can overcome my shyness

cornsilk, went to tiger tiger for some food (SO nice) and then the birdcage

so that's next years xmas meet sorted

I wanted to come!! Except that this was the ONLY weekend we could marry this year!!

(well i couldn't think of a decent rumour seeing as how DS3 has decided he doesn't need any sleep)

eeeewwww it was supposed to be a rumour not real!!

We were going to go to Waxy's before the birdcage so i could report back but they didn't have room for us even though there was just me and my sis eating!

which dadsnetter is it? Is he going to reveal his posting name or is he incognito?

mom - were you all dressed up as a bride etc?

where you there cornsilk???

No i wasn't, there were a few hen nights that night and i don't like making myself look stupid!)(nature already did that to me) I did have a sash thingy and some flashing bunny ears for a while until they hurt my head!

YY

Just wanted to wish everyone a fabbo time tonight - sorry I can't come as we have relatives from abroad here and the parents have done the three line whip in rounding us all up

Sooo many congrats to mom though!

what does YY mean?

It's not tonight is it? It's next week?

Everyone paid the full £21.95 except MMJ & Wotulookinat.

MMJ owes £21.95 plus £3.05 to the drinks pot.
Wot owes £11.95 plus £3.05 to the drinks pot.

(The £3.05 extra comes in because everyone paid this much extra on the second installment - £15 instead of the £11.95 which was all Waxy's wanted!)

Doodle has paid MMJ's £21.95 & Wots £11.95 to Waxy's out of her own pocket - so you two both owe me! Put your £3.05's in the drinks envelope on the night. Wots, give your £11.95 to MMJ on the night and she'll pay me when she sees me or I'll kick her 'ead in!

All 22 guests have made menu choices and these have been sent to Waxy's.

So - Waxy's are totally up to date and you will owe them nothing other than what you drink on the night.

22 people x £21.95 = 482.90

Actually collected = £635

Which means there is £152.10 to spend on drinks.

Phoenix, Fanella, Slubber, Thirtbies & Oliveoil paid deposits but now can't come - £10 each.

Auntyspan paid the full amount (£25.00) and now can't come. I feel I should slosh £15 back to Auntyspan via PP. Losing a deposit is one thing but losing the whole amount is a bit bloody much - yes?

Now for the sad bit. I can't come! Actually, I've known for weeks I wouldn't be able to make it but by the time I knew, I'd already committed to sorting the money for you all, so thought it best to keep me gob shut & just get on with it! Our company Xmas doo is on 29th Nov. It's the only day we can get the whole company together & since me and DH actually own the company, well, I kinda have to be there!

I'm meeting MMJ for coffee on Monday and I'm handing her an envelope stuffed full of the spare cash for drinks. She will also have the full list of menu choices & the receipts from Waxy's. Ledodgy also has copies of the receipts etc.

Please enjoy yourselves and don't feel nervous. MMJ is just lovely and once she's got her own nerves in order, she'll make you all feel welcome & relaxed because she's that kind of person. Cornsilk is also lovely. I said further down the thread that she was always in trouble at school - actually, she wasn't. That was me!

Doodle

Bollox! Got me sums wrong.

£625.00 collected - includes MMJ & Wots
£482.90 Waxy's

£142.10 spare.

Pay Auntyspan back £15.00

Leaves £127.10 spare.

Thank you so much for organising all this Doddle, you are a star!!!!

ooooooo Doodle thanks so much for the gesture, that's really generous and unexpected....

still gutted I can't go - but hey next year at least i can get drunk! xx

S'been a privilege, Throttle - I know that's an odd thing to say but to be given such a position of trust by a load of fabby Mumsnetters - well, ya know

Steady on Auntyspan - I gotta figure out how to do a reverse payment on PP yet! Have just been looking at it - think I've sussed it!
