Hello there!

We would like to cordially invite you all to join us this coming Sunday, June 18, for a Great Get Together - in memory of the late Jo Cox MP, and in support of her family's organisation, More In Common, which aims to get us all to celebrate the things that unite us.

So whether you're reasonable or unreasonable, whether you have or have not Googled penguin bollards, and whether or not you think the OP should have cashed the cheque, we'd love to see you all here on Sunday around midday.

There will be PRIZES, chatting and amusing gifs (courtesy of AliceDMumsnet's 'solid gold gifs' folder). Please bring your best children's jokes, pictures of any kittens who have recently adopted you, and heartwarming stories of love and friendship across the divide (Netmums).

BYO booze. Folk dancing will not be tolerated in the shallow end.

(If you'd rather go to an event near you and meet other people face-to-face, check out the Great Get Together's listings of thousands of events across the UK here.)

Love
MNHQ

MrsHathaway · 18/06/2017 19:10

Ice lolly, anyone? I've got Calippos and Feasts.

bookbook · 18/06/2017 19:12

SassynSane · 18/06/2017 19:13

Ooooh...yes please! A Feast please. Unless you have any Soleros???

Teatowelfairy · 18/06/2017 19:15

Ooh can't remember the last time I had a feast! Love calippos but DH insists we buy the fruit shoot push ups.

MrsHathaway · 18/06/2017 19:17

Hold on.

Aha! Exotic or Red Berries?

AdaColeman · 18/06/2017 19:18

Here you are Iona sausage rolls, and I've given you a huge gerkin too.

SassynSane · 18/06/2017 19:23

Ooh MrsH, I luffs you I do! Exotic thank you 😊

IonaMumsnet · 18/06/2017 19:23

You're an angel AdaColeman. I've got my eye on a Calippo for afters too. Well, this is nice isn't it? How long have we got until sundown and bin liners time?

bookbook · 18/06/2017 19:24

I'd forgotten about Soleros! Always used to buy those :)

I'll just start solidifying up the left overs shall I ? ,

Hey there Sassy have a gherkin, no sausage roll is complete without a gherkin or a pickled onion.

IonaMumsnet · 18/06/2017 19:29

Nooooo!

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 18/06/2017 19:29

I won something. I never win things. Woo hoo!

IonaMumsnet · 18/06/2017 19:30

I am always late to parties. What is brilliant about this is I can catch up by reading the thread! I think all parties should have threads so I can catch up when I arrive.

bookbook · 18/06/2017 19:31

Its okay Iona - just getting rid of spare plates , showing we still have plenty

Man, can't believe I missed it.

IonaMumsnet · 18/06/2017 19:41

It's ok Tombstones. Disco still going and plenty of booze and ice lollies. I just get a bit emotional at seeing sausage rolls being tidied away. Can't believe I missed the clog dancing though. In an attempt to get in on the fun despite lateness, my favourite place in the UK is Orford in Suffolk - weird army shit to see off the coast, a very CASTLEY castle, couple of decent pubs and a smokery. Can't go wrong. It's where I'm going to run away to when I win the lottery and no one will think to look for me there.

IonaMumsnet · 18/06/2017 19:41

Oh.

TressiliansStone · 18/06/2017 19:41

Still time, TheTombstonesMove.Grin

SassynSane · 18/06/2017 19:42

Croatian liqueur, sausage rolls, gherkins, a solero....and 'Oops Upside Your Head' - Happy Happy Happy Days!!!! Wink
