June 08 London Ladies and their Bouncing Babies

[Essie3]

Hello all, you know who you are! A thread to sort out a meet up, and also to sort out a BIG NIGHT OUT!!!

5GoMad are you really coming? Night out or day? Don't know how far Dorset is.

At the moment, the 10th is looking less likely with DH's court work - but should be able to manage 21st.

Would love to but don't think I can now as we go away on 20th but any other time (night) especially this time of year will try.

Essie, gutted that you won't be there - was so looking forward to hearing your sexy Welsh voice!

Have you seen the warning at the top of the thread about meeting in a public place and telling people where you're going - which one of you scary ladies is going to mug me then?!

lol sponge -well all the folk I've met seemed very normal... but if you like I'll wear a hoody and creep up on you

oh thanks poppy, that's v sweet of you! would be disappointed if all my prejudices about dodgy London folk weren't fulfilled!

Sponge it's Amber, of course!

I'm actually not Welsh at all. I'm a big fat hairy trucker from Birmingham called Keith.

Is there room for a little (well- getting littler-by-the-day) one? I can do 10th but not 21st as off to a wedding in Cheshire...

so assuming 10th going ahead are we also going for 21st and if so when/where? [looks hopefully at amber for guidance as our spiritual leader]

Hi guys, daft question here - but how on earth am I going to find you on the 10th?!

Do we need to book a table at Giraffe?

Will anyone be wearing a red carnation or carrying a copy of The Times or will I just wander round looking vacant until someone takes pity on me?!

Maybe I'll end up sitting with a completely different group of women and only find out as we start to talk and I realise that there are no lesbians or cannibal babies amongst them?!!

Hahaha, you look for a cluster of prams! What's the collective noun, I wonder?

I'll be the one in pearls....with a delightful smattering of puree!!

Collective noun for prams-a 'frustration' judging from the looks we get at our local Starbucks when our NCT posse meets up. A 'posse' maybe?

Poppy & Sponge - the others may be normal, but you haven't met me yet!

Did we agree a time to meet? If not, how about I book a table at Giraffe for ...bugger how many? HH, Amber, Poppy, Sponge, Puree and me = 6. Have I forgotten anyone? Ok a table for 6 at 1pm, does that suit everyone?

Ooo, I'm a Giraffe 'member' and thought I'd just double check to see if they have any offers, and they do. 2-4-1 on main meals if you buy a starter.

If two more of you sign up on the Giraffe website and bring your vouchers along that'll be 1/2 price meals for us all?

Can you tell that the SMP kicked in this month?

Thanks PP, will have a go at doing that!

What name will the table be booked in?

All booked under the name Henry Ryder (see what I've done there ). See you there!

Can't wait! Easy name to remember!

excellent work pp

Will I be able to find it easily bearing in mind I will be coming from London Bridge?

Have joined giraffe online now and printed a map

I've joined too- now all we need is more attendees. 10th @ 1pm, Southbank. See you there x

Wish I lived close enough

Looking forward to meeting you all later!
