my dogs are barking, i just got in. dino doesn't mean ALL of us.... it was good, had a lovely time and great to meet so many mners. what did you all think of the venue? when shall we do it again, xmas too soon, how about new year do?

Thomcat · 12/11/2004 18:42

Cab will be here soon but just wanted to say waht a lovely few hours that was. You really are all just as nice as I thought, actually - better.

Xmas shopping not so successful, but did get myself a lovely silver glitter belt and a stripy green wrap/scarf thing!

thought the venue was great for a wintery gettogether btw, Lottie would have been bored senseless but as it was she had a great day with her nan and learnt to say toothbrush really clearly so all good

And rememeber you can't talk and do ponchos at the same time!

Dingle · 12/11/2004 18:46

Well what's the gossip?? Spent the morning out with my mum, she needed some clothes for the funeral next week.
I was thinking of you all and now I'm really jealous that it never came together for me-I'm such a coward anyway.
Hope you won't snub me now!

Thomcat · 12/11/2004 18:47

Dingle, who's Dingle?????????????????

Thomcat · 12/11/2004 18:53

You were supposed to respond straight away to taht dingle and now i have to come back before my cab comes and that /i've/ met you and you're lovley so you can't be a coward really. You /have/ to come next time.

Thomcat · 12/11/2004 18:54

fio2 · 12/11/2004 18:55

/,don't know /Thomcat?

fio2 · 12/11/2004 18:56

HAHAHA that gets me for trying to be clever

Chocol8 · 12/11/2004 19:01

I had a fabulous time, thanks girls. I can now write knowing what you look like...and yes you were all glamorous! - including you Dino and Baby Dino..and Li'l Blue... and Li'l MaoMao...and Li'l...ah too many lovely people to mention!

Got to the station in loads of time and then proceeded to stand on the wrong platform and watched my train go by...arghh! Did the five minute mile to the school and nearly had a heart attack! God, i'm SO unfit!

Thanks girls - would love to do it all again very soon. Very sorry I didn't meet everyone, maybe next time eh? x

dottee · 12/11/2004 19:22

Glad you all had a lovely time.

Meea and I met up too and her (youngest) two are lovely. And her dh was soooo patient - what a lovely family! Looking forward to the next time Meea.

And we spotted Tanni Grey Thompson who drove passed us after visiting the Drive-in.

Lovely to see you all from me too. Felt like I could have just chatted and chatted for hours. Definitely hope to see you all (and others) again soon.

maomao · 12/11/2004 21:01

Thank you all for letting me and my dd come today. It was wonderful to see you all --- just sorry that I didn't get an opportunity to speak with everyone!

MsF · 12/11/2004 22:18

my husband just said
" you could have gone " when i mentioned this meetup.....typical...i didn't even mention it to him as i thought he'd laugh!!!

So....i reminded him that if i went i'd make a real day of it and not be back till at least 9 or 10pm...he said o.k

so ....worried now just what he'd expect me to do in return.....or where he's planning to go and will use this as a bargaining tool!

OOOOOH! paranoia strikes again!!!!

Still.....at least i may be able to come next time! You have been warned!

Chocol8 · 12/11/2004 23:07

MrsF??? You're now MsF!

Anyway, that better be a promise - we were saying that we wished you were there today! Would love to meet you in the flesh.

Ooh, highlight of my day....I got BOTH thighs squeezed by Lou!!!!! x

MsF · 12/11/2004 23:12

don't know whether my flesh would be worth squeezing!!!!!!

HA!!!

Seriously...there will be one stipulation....that COPPERTOP would have to come.....and if she didn't then my visit would have to be longer as seeing as i would be that much nearer her end of the country then i'd be compelled to 'go the extra mile'!!!!

coppertop · 12/11/2004 23:22

Oooh! I'd love to MrsF! It's just a case of working out what to do with ds2 and getting back to fetch ds1. Unless dh happened to have a day off work......

If not then you're more than welcome to visit. Then you'd see that my clutter is not in the slightest bit exaggerated.

MsF · 12/11/2004 23:28

I still think you shoukld change your name to *buckets.....you know that lovely name your DH gave you!

coppertop · 12/11/2004 23:31

I am indeed Mrs Clutterbucket (before anyone starts thinking of rude possibilities!). Dh has even named our laundry pile "Mount Washing-ton".

MsF · 12/11/2004 23:35

now my mind is filled with the other possible * words....none of which i can type...but the mind boggles!

i'm glad you've come 'clean' on that!!!!

When i bathed the boys last night...instead of getting out onto a towel or mat to dry their feet ...i asked them to stand on the sprawling laundry pile!

Chocol8 · 12/11/2004 23:35

Groan! . Bit like my printer at work - it's called Bob Marley cos it's always jammin'. Nighty night!

eidsvold · 13/11/2004 04:55

ohhh so jealous could have done with a day out to take my mind off Monday.... glad you all had a fab time. Was thinking about you whilst I sat here sweltering in 34 degree temps.......

InternationalGirl · 13/11/2004 10:29

It was lovely to meet you all yesterday. Just a bit dissappointed I couldn't have stayed a little longer - great venue - thanks for suggesting it davros.

OOOOhhhh!!! MrsF and coppertop take on london - sounds like a fabulous adventure! Yes! yes! do it - you tell us when and where - (less likelihood of you getting lost in London). I would take a day off work just to watch the two of you meet (or are you one person???)

lou33 · 13/11/2004 19:34

Was good to see you all, I had a lovely time. I'm just home in surrey now, after staying over at spacemonkey's, so a bit delicate today. I'd be up for another one in the new year.

dinosaur · 15/11/2004 16:59

Another meet-up in the new year would be great. Perhaps if I'm really nice to DH he might look after DS3 so I could come on my own...
