So am presuming weeknight is best? Mon-Weds better for me, but equally could manage thurs if that was best for everyone else. w/c 15th or 22nd Feb?

Shall we fix a date, see who is coming and then pick somewhere in the middle?

Yay, I have secured a babysitter! I can come straight from work, so anytime from 6.15pm. Don't worry if people want to meet later, I can hang around drinking cheap booze in the bars at work until it's time to join you all.

So where are we meeting? I can do anywhere. LadyT, why don't you choose as you will have O and the pram so need somewhere that suits you.

Aubergines - I can do 6.15!!! Hmm where indeed. The St Georges at Oxford Circus is great - but not if we need to be at the Strand/Waterloo. I don't really know anywhere to suggest there. Will have a little look up.

I can do early! But please don't worry about me and the pushchair, we go anywhere and everywhere. If people want to meet nr Waterloo, I suggest the Marriott in County Hall as above. If they don't mind Oxford Circus, St Georges, but I am easy. Have texted Urbane to see if she if ok...

County hall or ox circus fine for me. In fact the latter would be easiest fir getting home as I can tube to liv st.

Actually I can also get the tube from embankment so don't mind me!

Hi ladies. I would love to join you if I may?

Ooh, will be nice to see you Pingu.

Urbane is in Derbyshire without an internet connection at the mo but still hopes to come tomorrow night.

Someone has to make a decision about where - I don't seem capable! So we have:

Urbane
Mom
Rubes
Invis
Syb
Aubi
Beans
Summer
Turnip
Effie
Pingu
et Moi plus enfant. What a rogues gallery! Excellent.

County Hall/South Bank

If summer is coming from KX she might find reg st easier I suppose. Am awful at making decisions and don't know much about either venue. Didn't subs say she'd prefer nr Waterloo?

Ladies - I'm really hopeful of coming, but not 100% - Waterloo would be easier for me as am not at work tomorrow, so much quicker for me to get there. But as I'm not 100% coming, then don't worry too much!

Right - I won't be able to post from early tomorrow morn as need to get an early train to go for my scan and consultant's appt etc, but should be able to check this thread so will be able to see what has been decided! Aubi, like I said, can meet from early if you fancy (or anyone else for that matter)

Hi girls

So sorry but I won't be able to join you tonight. I've been up throwing up all night and feel lousy. Now have got to negotiate the school run with the 3 of them as DH too busy. Oh dear.

So, so sorry to miss you. Was really looking forward to seeing you all. Hope it won't be too long before the next one. Have a great time.

Time for a decision I think! Have no idea about either venue but what about the Marriott at county hall from 6.15 ish? I'm working across the river so will prob be there on the dot with my little pot of red paint...

Good luck for the scan today ladyt

Sounds like a plan. I finish at 6.15 so will wander straight across the bridge.

Sorry you are ill Sybs. I was really looking forward to meeting you. I also see from the main thread that mini Urbane is ill so we are losing her too :-(

Very much looking forward to seeing the rest of you. X

sorry girls, you are going to lose me too, we have loads of snow here, it is bucketing down and it is enough trouble getting in and out of work without a trip to london this evening. dammit!

And me - I'm so sorry - just can't get a babysitter and DH working late. So sorry - but have a lovely time.

xx

Oh I totally forgot and luckily Beans post on the main thread reminded me.
Unfortunately I am out too for a number of reasons I won't bore you with, as well as that, my mood isn't ideal to be around. Hope all have fun though

Oh no! It looks like it might just be Effie, LadyT and I (a small but perfectly formed ensemble). Turnip are you still coming? Pingu? Invis? Mom?

I am still coming yes! Had to book a sitter as didn't realise Dh also out. But dying to catch up.
Sybil - get well soon! Sorry Rubes and Summer can't come too. pingu you still up for it? I will text Lady T location. St Georges at Regent Street suits me better but happy to go County Hall. Shall we do a show of hands for either evnue and decide then?

I'm still coming, really looking forward to seeing some of you in person! Sorry to miss those who can't make it. Either location is OK for me.

I'm still in. Have to wait for DH to get back from work so may not get there until 7.30pm. Waterloo better for me but happy to do either. Sorry not to be seeing those of you that can't make it.

County hall prob better for me but can make either

County Hall easiest for me too but can also do either.

OK, well seeing as its 5pm and most people have a preference for County Hall, let's call it a plan.

Great see you all then! A x

Can I check where exactly we are meeting? Bar? Is there more than one?

My number is 07840 114074 if needed!
