So have YOU been invited to this year's summer party?

[theuninvited]

So...
have you been invited to this year's summer party?
I'm not one of the select few.
Apparently the venue is the same as last year.....

i think you mean 7am til 7am (or is it just me?)

seeing as its in her garden its pretty understandable shes only invited a few
wish i was going i need a break
i remember the build uo to it last her very exciting i wish i had gone then but i felt i didnt know anyone well enough to ask if i could go
it was a much less secretive event last year

to all the mners who are going hope you all have a wicked time !

Now how about this for an idea...

Why not all agree a date when we have a big mumsnet party and invite everyone (I mean everyone), bring your own drinks, stool and

computer!!!! Be nice to each other, just for one day...

i know silly me i was too shy ! wish id have gone now though its a long way from manchester

If anyone feels like organising it (shudder!!!) there could be a MN-party at a campsite somewhere, alll comers welcome.

Look, Beety and I e mail, we are in the same business, and have met-up. As I understand it she is away for a long hol, and is desparately trying to sell the house. Organising a weekend camping party including toilets, marquee, a kitty, a guest-list etc etc, must be a hell of a thing to organise. I didn't go last year, and I'm not visiting Beety's field this summer, so I don't have any 'vested interest' in whatever may be happening amongst people who are freinds, but I think we should remember that nothing 'secretive' is going on, and Beety should get a MN-sainthood for organising what was apparantly such a lovely event last year.

A toast to Beety!

hear hear hear blu. Terviseks, as they say in Estonia, Beety

should you be saying 'Break a leg' ?

What a silly, pointless, nasty little thread to 'try' to have started.
Backfired though didn't it

Gosh, how nasty and stirry this was - and how jolly and strange it now is!
Not invited and perfectly happy thanks. Good luck to Beety - her house, her party, her prerogative.
I might be having a housewarming at my new house, and I might invite a few mumsnetters by personal email. So shoot me now.

i dont think this thread was started too nastily btw maybe miffed but not nasty !

I think the thread was started to stir, and to get people up in arms. There's no other reason to have started it, and if that's not the case then there was no need for a name change.

theuninvited must be feeling really miffed that most posters treated it in a light-hearted manner, and quite frankly don't give a damn.

true wwb

Hey, Twiglett, send me the JF thread please??!! the whole thing happened during my 'I have moved to the other side of the world, MN is no longe as convenient, time to move on' period of about a week.... Love a good troll outing, me.

slainte, beety

bouj, it started

here

and there is some more

here

there might even be another somewhere.

It really was glued-to-your-seat time for days on end, I drove DH nuts, if there had been a baby in my house the NSPCC would have been round.

(I missed Gina though despite being at the party last year - beety printed off the first few pages but I didn't know what it was all about and then it escalated and then it went so I am bereft of that one.)

Cheers, beety, btw - hope you're having a fab time in Greece

And somewhere in that lot is a hysterical post from, I think, Frieda, surmising what WnR's excuse would have been when she failed to turn up to the Cardiff meet (it involved his/her wig getting caught in an overhead air-conditioning unit and went on from there IIRC)

I do love mumsnet [contented sigh]

(Well, most of the time )

Thanks Janh! Will have to set aside a few hours this afternoon for a catch up.

Wow, Janh ? your memory is truly phenomenal! I don't post that often, but that JF thread was truly riveting, wasn't it.

I remember this well. I had decided to break myself from a daily MN habit and wound up coming back just after it was all over All of JF's posts had been deleted. (sigh) It sealed my fate to never leave MN again for that long!

Damn - I just wrote a superb post and then deleted it by accident (rather like a large fish that got away...)

Frieda, I'm glad you posted cos it made me look harder for your wig post and it wasn't in my 2 earlier links, it was here!

psssst, Janh, rickman: Chandra has the Gina thread (saved). I think she ought to flog off copies in a Dutch-style Ebay-type auction and donate the proceeds to MN....

I want one!!!!!
