As so many of us are not coming and I am a bit of a control freak and getting a bit anxious that we have no definite plans I thought I'd start a separate thread to discuss the meet up!!

mapletrees if we are catching the train together I'd like to book a ticket asap.

What time are we thinking of meeting? How long/which bus etc will we need to get to the pub?

cinnamon very boring thing about car seats.. I've got a Maxi-Cosi and just wanted to check that you aren't going to take out a Maxi-Cosi base so that mine can fit in? It took dp so long to fit our base we haven't taken it out since Grin. (Not planning on bringing the base btw as it works fine with just the seatbelt.)

FriggFRIGG · 21/02/2011 09:46

well you got me right!

im 5'7ish long brown hair,tied back scruffiflyGrin
nearly always in jeans and t.shirt...but i might make a bit more effort as im going to 'the big city!'Wink

...oh and i'll be wearing a baby!Grin

park where shall i meet you? i dont know swindon at all!

JessemyParkson · 21/02/2011 09:48

Haha! I'll be the giant, at 5'6" then! Yay - I'm usually the short-arse :o

Er, I'll have the weird choppy not-quite-styled hair that keeps getting in my eyes (note to self, don't give hairdresser carte blanche next time!)

Hmm, cinnamon if you're not bringing James, then I'm wondering whether to bring Justin?! He'll either be bored stiff and driving me up the wall or sat in the corner nearest the food, on my DS, stuffing his face whenever the game lets him (slight exaggeration, but not too far from the truth!)

And I'll be driving the Suzuki Liana in dark blue.

cinnamongreyhound · 21/02/2011 09:54

Damn back to being a shortie :(

No Mapletrees I have carseats that stay in the car, so no bases or anything complicated like that!

dammit, x-post with frigg

JessemyParkson · 21/02/2011 10:08

Frigg I'll park outside the station I think. There is a carpark behind the station I can wait in for upto 10 mins but I don't know how pushchair-friendly it is... I'll find out today and report back later, but for now, outside the front Wink

FriggFRIGG · 21/02/2011 10:14

thanksSmile

i'll probably have the sling,so dont worry about pushchair friendly for me...

JessemyParkson · 21/02/2011 10:16

oki doke :) you're coming in for 10.13 right?

FriggFRIGG · 21/02/2011 10:46

yes,10:13...if the trains are on time!Hmm

i'll take you phone number just in case!Smile

cinnamongreyhound · 21/02/2011 11:31

FriggFRIGG · 21/02/2011 11:40

so excited so excited so excited!!! Grin

cinnamongreyhound · 21/02/2011 11:42

Me too. I was really disappointed when so many people dropped out especially as this Thursday wasn't the best day for me but really glad it's going ahead now. Will be totally exhausted from all the driving but nevermind I'll survive Wink

OP posts:
FriggFRIGG · 21/02/2011 11:54

yes,it is a shame...but we'll have fun anyhow!Grin

mapletrees · 21/02/2011 14:42

That would be great cinnamon. Grin Do you think you will find me ok, or shall I email you a map?

cinnamongreyhound · 21/02/2011 15:01

I put your postcode into my map thingy on my phone and it seems to be a turn between the pub and the roundabout that you turn left at to get into town, very technical Wink. Any tips with tricky bits would be great otherwise I think I'll be ok.

OP posts:
mapletrees · 21/02/2011 16:53

Umm? I think I know what you mean, but I might send you a map just in case Wink

cinnamongreyhound · 21/02/2011 19:32

I know where arbury road is and it looks like you live off there. Feel
Free to send a map ever little helps Grin

Does everyone think they'll find the pub ok? If you've got a sat nav you'll probably be fine or the aa route planner is usually good.

If anyone needs any help, you can call me.

So excited!!! Grin Grin Gin

saoirse86 · 21/02/2011 20:01

Woops, that was supposed to be another Grin freudian slip perhaps! Hmm

JessemyParkson · 22/02/2011 13:26

saoirse I don't have your number - does frigg have it, so that one of us can call when if I get lost? :o

saoirse86 · 22/02/2011 13:42

I've put it on the fb page for the meet up. I'll pm you with it so it's not hanging around on here for any tom, dick or harry to find! Grin
