Tortington · 27/04/2003 22:43

how about the next mumsnet meet up be saturday 26th july.
so as per other brighton thread :

SATURDAY 26TH JULY ANYONE???
i dont go out of my way, and so as to not make this a task of arduous proportions, check your diaries, and make your suggestions.

i dont want to walk into a restaurant having booked early for 10 people to be completely embarrased at only two of us being there i hope you all understand.

i would like to reiterate the dumping of babies and children ( am not really fussed where you dump them) and all you londoners get on a train to brighton

suggestions of a dining venue
am desperate for a curry

Be warned we like to drink lots of wine ( red is preferable)

SO COME BACK WITH PREFERABLE DATE AND VENUE AND YOUR DEFINATE BOOKING.

TA MUCH

Cor, that's quick off the mark, Custy!! Saturdays in July and August are impossible for me so I suggest Sunday 27 July instead and yes, I could eat a curry as well!

MABS · 28/04/2003 18:15

Custy - I can't do 26 July as I'm at a wedding, can do 27 July or Saturday before, but Sats are bad for Cam, any help? love to be there - dread to think what you all said about me on Saturday

CAM · 28/04/2003 20:27

Mabs, we didn't goss about any of the Brighton crew, as if!

MABS · 28/04/2003 20:37

only joking CAM , knew you wouldn't ...really hope i can make the next one

CAM · 28/04/2003 21:09

Mabs,you must come to the next one as I have some questions to ask you re schools that I know you have looked at (that other thread re private schools has reminded me!!)

Dannie · 28/04/2003 21:35

I should still be early enough in my pregnancy that curry will be safe. Fab idea, yes please. And if we're going to talk boringly about Sussex 2ndary school options, I want to be there. Oh yes!

It was great meeting you ast week. 27th July is a way off yet but it should be fine.

CAM · 04/05/2003 12:20

Glad you liked us enough to meet again, Willum!

CAM · 04/05/2003 12:20

Also, how did your dh cope with ds for the first time on his own?

willum · 06/05/2003 13:57

He loved it. They spent most of the day running round the hills and didn't get back for an hour after I did. DS didn't get given any milk, but hey it won't kill him to go with out for a day!

Who ya calling Chicken? As for 'yellow bellied', have you looked in the mirror lately, Ms Beta-Carotene!

Seriously Custdie, I'd love to do lunch again in Brighton (I might even make it to the second course this time!), but we are off on hols!

CAM · 07/05/2003 13:39

ks wants to come Custardo, she said so on her Madame Bovary thread. You'd better offer her a formal invitation, Custy, you know how us private school mums like things to be done properly....

Oh please! Waynetta my bumhole, Custardo! You are most refined and decorous in your own inimitable way, dearest.
I will do my utmost indeed to attend this gathering- date in diary.

tigermoth · 08/05/2003 11:25

Tortington · 17/05/2003 00:29

BK!!!!!! how wonderful, ( oops with the exclamation marks scumms -soz!) (opps another one)
erm......not decided on time yet - suppose it will have to do with childcare arrangements - damn kids

although curry at lunch is a bit odd isnt it
?
but then tea time might prove hard to get home late for long distance people

its too complicated and am a bit drunk
help?

OP posts:
bossykate · 17/05/2003 07:11

hi custardo, would prefer lunchtime, as you say, makes it easier to get back if you are travelling some distance (this is my lesson learned from the london one i'm organising atm!). as for curry, i will eat it in a house, i will eat it with a mouse, i will eat it here or there, i will eat it anywhere etc etc may not be to everyone's taste at lunchtime though, i agree. i always think you can't go wrong with pasta/pizza...
