La Vie en Crepe

[motherinferior]

And a new door opens...

I would like to come along tomorrow if that's still ok: Mum seems happy to stay put a little longer. Looking forward to seeing everyone and revising which name goes with which MN handle (limited capacity for information these days )

I was at a public school - I boarded from the age of 11. It was a very academic environment, so there was no problem being a brainiac. No mercy on the sports field, though.

What to wear tomorrow?? Tricky. I'm in town all day; off for my Vitality Plan induction, then I shall kill time at the shops until it's time to meet up.

Is it still 6pm at the restaurant??

Boo, Ruby.

And yay, Auriga!

Rudy
Auriga

I know we have the table booked from 6... I probably won't make it there til 7ish. Is that OK? Is the 6pm start aimed at the dedicated drinker rather than ordering food at 6?

The lushes will be there at 6, QQ. Not sure what time I will be there - it depends on what time DD1 gets home from school. But will aim for 6.

So I can get there at six and be hardcore... or turn up later and you lot will be a bit giggly and rather loud? I'll see what time I can get away and join you....

Aiming for 6, but may have to alternate drinks :)

Rudy :( will miss you....(and your cleavage :) )

Great you can come Auriga, Rudy can't.

Yes 6pm start (aimed at the dedicated drinkers people who would otherwise be hanging around for ages in town) - be there or be square

CV I am still very despite my legs still being as stiff as boards from circuits on Tuesday!

"Someone" knows we crepeys are on here - I've had an advert for "Chums" pop up down the side...

MrsS. I've had one at the top!

Really looking forward to meeting you all. I will be stylishly attired in thick blue fleece and waterproof (have chilly day), probably arriving with addle though, so we don't need a code.

I'm the short redhead in the purple wool dress - I'm slightly concerned it's too short, though am ignoring prudish 13 year old's view it's 'too low-cut'

She'd approve of my wool-and-goretex look.....

Oh, she'd find something to be embarrassed about in that too!

I'm really sorry, but I'm going to have to pull out. dd2 is home with a 'rather active' tummy. It was bad at school yesterday, but stoically she managed to last all day, only to be very upset, in a number of ways last night. So my plans to sneak off up t'London are scuppered.

Bad mother: I did try to persuade her to go in, but realised I would probably get summoned in to collect her within an hour.

I'm so far away, if I wait for dh to be home, I would only get there about an hour before I had to leave again, and by the sounds of it, you may all be passed out by then!

Have one or two for me, I'll be thinking of you.

I boarded from 11 - 18. All girls, then straight to a boys boarding for sixth form, where girls were in short supply. Had a whale of a time.... probably could have done more work, but no regrets there I'll never regret not working enough. 'Just enough, just enough' seems to have been my work motto, and it's done me OK so far.

Ahh Beachy :( looking forward to catch up!

Oh boo, Rudy and Beachy

I may have an even longer and more drawn-out journey than usual. Emergency engineering works on the line between Poole and Bournemouth. Drat.

I'll be there before 7, as DP returning from the grindstone about 5.30. Sorry we won't see you norty non-attenders - I'm sure we can 'have one for you'!

Not sure what to wear, either. Maybe my new Reiss jumper? Or will that be too hot?

Beachy, hope she's better soon!

I think closeness to the loo and the TV remote control seem to be doing the trick.

She'll be bouncing off the walls by 2pm!

Beachy

Herbs, Reiss jumper sounds good.

Stropps, text me when you get into London!

I am looking forward to a or two!

Oh wow, my 47 year old friend has had her baby!
