@Slothmomma

I'm just home after my night and day with Mr M. We went into city and did cocktails and dinner before theatre and then a quick drink after before home to here. He stayed over and the we went into town to do some shopping and grabbed lunch out. My head is hurting from cocktails (I'm a lightweight) so I need to get rid of headache as now heading out tonight with best mate for drinks and live music

Congrats @OnwardsEverStridingOnwards too on qualifying 🥳

I hope the two of you are getting on well ♥️🥰♥️

Ill come over with you @BelladiMamma and @Isitreallyme177 we’ll get the bubbly opened!!
Im sat at home now feeling so pissed off. Another night of solitude. 😞

Isitreallyme177 · 30/10/2021 17:21

Thanks @BelladiMamma and @Shayelle2009 😘 . I actually have a bottle in the fridge too.

Shayelle2009 · 30/10/2021 17:36

Well I’m already on the wine. Alchohol is the one thing that never lets you down 😣

Isitreallyme177 · 30/10/2021 17:39

That and the cat, who has plonked herself next to me.

Onesmallstep67 · 30/10/2021 17:48

@Shayelle2009 and @Isitreallyme177, how frustrating that that your friends don’t have the drinking/ partying stamina needed ! I’ve got some Irish blood pumping through my veins so I’m usually up for a drink and the craic ! I’ve been ‘volunteered’ to organise my college’ 30 years on’ reunion that got delayed from last year because of the pandemic. I’m already invested and it won’t be until Spring 2022 😂. I might sound slightly desperate here but I’ve really come to view people on this thread as ‘friends who I don’t know but value and appreciate greatly’ I would definitely be up for a get together at some point in London or somewhere convenient for people. I’m in the Midlands but I love a road trip. 💃🎉👯🕺

Shayelle2009 · 30/10/2021 17:48

Ditto 🐈💕

SpringlikeBunk · 30/10/2021 17:50

SpringlikeBunk · 30/10/2021 17:51

happy birthday @Isitreallyme177 and have a good night @Shayelle2009

meh you don't need those friends, you've got us and we're FAR cooler!

VanGoghsDog · 30/10/2021 17:52

I'm not sure if I'm midlands or East, but happy to meet here or London.

Shayelle2009 · 30/10/2021 17:53

Haha I know sorry to have had a big moan, it’s lovely to have this secret outlet and bunch of lovely lovely people… thanks guys 💗💗

Heartbeats0708 · 30/10/2021 17:55

Thanks @WeWantTheFinestWines I'm not quite at the hat stage yet but we're having a lovely weekend together 😊
Hopefully this doesn't weird any of you out but I've had a dream that we all met up before Blush
Sounds like you're having a good time @JustAnother0ldMan and fifty-bloody-two, you're definitely due a name change!

Shayelle2009 · 30/10/2021 18:00

One good thing about being home early is that ill make it to gym tomorrow. Hopefully Al Pacino will be there in the morning so I can at least get some eye candy.

SpringlikeBunk · 30/10/2021 18:01

Maybe talk about a thread london xmas night out closer to time, also if anyone wants to split cost of "basic hotel room to crash in" as I don't want to commute home pissed and am just a bit too old for hostels (and would like to do the galleries the next day)

Isitreallyme177 · 30/10/2021 18:02

@SpringlikeBunk thank you

@Shayelle2009 I'm thinking of going to the gym in the morning before I go out but all depends what time I get up!

Shayelle2009 · 30/10/2021 18:16

It’s quite fun to have a person of interest at the gym. Means I have to make a small effort with appearance, rather than just rolled out of bed look. But it’s nice in a way to have someone in mind to make a small effort for!

Let's do it ladies!! I known I'd suggested earlier in the year and then inconveniently fell off the hoss so never organised anything. But I'm always up for the craic too.

When? Where?!

OP posts:
Isitreallyme177 · 30/10/2021 18:24

I'd be up for a meet up too.

@Shayelle2009 I always put make up on when I go to the gym just in case 🤦‍♀️🤣

PurpleStripyScarf · 30/10/2021 18:26

Gosh, so many birthdays around this time! Happy birthday folks!

Sorry to those who've been let down, that's rubbish.

Congratulations @OnwardsEverStridingOnwards !

I'd be up for a meet-up in London!

I've now got several more dates lined up with my iron (did I rename him Mr Growl? I've forgotten now.) It's been necessary to pre-plan quite a way ahead because of logistics/babysitting, but also it's really nice to have a few things lined up together 😊 It still feels like very early days, but I'm really enjoying it.

I was thinking MrImSoOldIcanRememberWhenTheTellyOnlyHadThreeChannels

But it doesn’t really trip of the tongue ..

Shayelle2009 · 30/10/2021 19:13

My cat is definitely glad I’m home early, she’s purring away and kneading my jumper like there’s no tomorrow! 💓

JustAnother0ldMan · 30/10/2021 19:18

Are men going to allowed an this London piss-up
I’m tall & slim with long legs, would look okay in a dress apart from my knobbly knees and size 10 boots, like some hideous kinda Drag Race reject.

Isitreallyme177 · 30/10/2021 19:20

Mine has buggered off to her igloo in the study 🤷‍♀️🙄, I put it in there the other day and I hardly see her now.

Shayelle2009 · 30/10/2021 19:22

I bought mine a bed and she completely ignored it. Ended up throwing it out in the end!!

Isitreallyme177 · 30/10/2021 19:27

My cat wouldn't settle and hasn't done for weeks, she likes being near me when I'm working and she was getting annoying when I'm in meetings. I had two igloos in the sitting room so moved one the other day. Her sister loved the igloos her not so much but I think she is missing her sister as she has been sleeping everywhere her sister did.
