ABERDEEN in July! Please come out with me so I don't have to sit in my hotel room... AGAIN!

[AtheneNoctua]

Following ion from this thread, I'm seizing the moment to organise a meet-up.

July 8th (Thurs) anyone?

Sign up here:

Athene Noctua

It's just off the kings gate so a bitty out of the town but plenty of wine
Mt 2 are in their beds when dss goes home and one of us has to take him so I wouldn't be free until closer to 9 because one of us has to be here with the sleeping children.
aaarrrgghh i'm getting so frustrated now. I was really looking forward to this now i'm skint and trying to sort out getting out for a while don't know what to do i'm so confused mainly because I haven't switched my brain on today yet....being sooo lazy.
I emailed you my mobile number Athene did you get it?

I think you might need two!

AN - I have emailed you with my mobile number. Am coming in on bus so should arrive in Aberdeen around 6.45.
Am trying to work out where Cafe 52 is at the moment (yes, I have lived in Aberdeen for 14 years).

Am wondering if it's really cheeky to ask MIL to both come over here for the running home AND lending me some pennies until pay day tomorrow????? hmmmmm how nice a daughter in law am I???

Aberdeen Uni

So are those who are still able, going to meet at Cafe 52 at 7?

Ah. Am at the other place.
Yes, I will be at Cafe 52 at 7. Am I right that it is easiest to walk off Union Street, down Market Street and the turn right? (Disclaimer - I do not teach Geography)

Can you still get down the staris from Unino Street down the side of what used to be Zavvi to get to the green?

Oh God, am I qualified to give directions in Aberdeen... I sort of doubt that. google maps for me!

If you want to come find me at the Holiday Inn Express on Chapel Street, I'd be more than happy to walk down Union Street with you.

lazy slattern, I think that would be quite reasonable. Tell her it's your hen night and it just wouldn't be the same without you! I hope you can come. Was it you who was going to meet me at the hotel? Brain like a seive here.

Oh, and I'm a amoron because I can't get to my hotmail account here. SO I will pick up e-mails when I get to hotel at about 5:45 and reply then.

Hee hee I know but I am too scared to aske her I know she would come over but to scared to ask for a sub in case she turns into a roaring beast and shouts at me (very unlikely I know)
Yes was me that was going to meet you, I will flutter my eye lashes at dp and see what he thinks.

It will probably be easier for me to go straight to the restaurant.

I am stressed woman with stressed hair looking for a drink. The hair is dark (but dyed) and very curly. Today I am wearing a black and white dress and (check) aqua tights. I wear glasses.

Look are you all going to be very young? It's all those mentions of young children that is worrying me. I am 43, married 20 years, with two sons - 15 and 6.

I wil be... (shudder) 40 in a matter weeks. So not too far away. My kids are 6 and 4, so not that young.

I have short(ish) curly brow hair. Am white. Short, a bit on the chubby side. Will be wearing jeans, white t-shirt and tan cardigan. No glasses. I can tie a yellow ribbon round my neck if it helps.

Oh good - as long as you are nearly as ancient as me!

well that leaves me who is not so ancient at 32. My son is only 14 months old so what I am wearing will be determined by how slobbered on I get before he goes to bed - but it will probably involve an orange cardi. Am short-medium height with brown eyes and straight brown hair. See you there.

I'm the baby so far 30 but as i'm still not sure yet it might be irrelevant.
I am getting myself really annoyed here trying to sort out what to do now thought I was getting out now not so sure. can I shed a wee tear (just a little one mind) I hate cancelling plans and feeling as if i'm mucking around.

What are the logistic of getting DSS home. I mean if means you stay back and show up anhour late, that's fine. You can join us for dessert more drinks.

That is what i'm hoping but I do think I'm going to need to do a bit of begging first.
I will explain it all later if you text when you get back to the hotel later on.

Looks like I would have been the youngest at 28.
Hope you all have a great time.

Well??? How did it go?

It was lovely. Libra, Snorkelgirl, and I were the only ones there. But it was nice to meet them. MAybe we can get a fwe more together next time.

How are you lazyslattern? Sorry you missed us? Maybe we can come round to yours and help you polish off any leftover booze after the wedding/reception.

Yeha i'm fine bit of a crappy day all round yeterday but i'm ok today.
You would be definately more than welcome, in fact Athene if you're about in Aberdeen on the 22nd July you are more than welcome to come over after work for some food and wine and a bit of a party.

I will keep it in mind for sure. But, my future in Aberdeen is a bit up in the air at the moment. So don't know if I will be in Aberdeen then.

It was a very nice meal out and lovely to meet AN and SG. Nice restuarant - and I will be returning very soon to pick up my cardigan!

Oh and sorry not to meet you Ineedacleaner. Hopefully next time.

hope we do organise a next time glad you all had a good night hope you had a drink for me.
