I'm on my way - after stopping off for an impromptu shopping trip in Southampton with friends who made a last-minute decision to join me on an early train - and then convinced me to get off said train in Southampton. We had a larf and bought some stuff. Have now got back on the train. I am feeling the need for some chocolate.

herbaceous · 27/11/2015 15:53

Come come come MI. You won't regret it. I'm shattered too, but a few glasses of fizz will see us right.

motherinferior · 27/11/2015 15:59

Herbs, can you email me address etc again?

bigTillyMint · 27/11/2015 16:25

MI, you need a few glasses. And so do I - big fandango at 3pm - I need a drink! And your DH has got his outfit too!

Chocolate sounds good. But alcohol sounds better!

Stropperella · 27/11/2015 16:34

I am just lining my stomach with patisserie. Eh, have just discovered Prosecco flavoured crisps - Wtf? Confused

wordassociationfootball · 27/11/2015 16:42

Have a brillo time girls.

MM - planning to get well lubricated again tonight or are you just going to stick to wine? Wink

herbaceous · 27/11/2015 16:54

Have emailed you in the private fashion, MI.

I'm bushed. But excited! Last-minute wardrobe advice - would a floaty mid-thigh-length kaftan top look better (i.e. worse) with leggings or cropped beige trousers? I'm considering pop socks with my crocs.

MontserratCaballe · 27/11/2015 16:58

Joining others on the dick bench. Have a wonderful time everyone.

MontserratCaballe · 27/11/2015 16:59

That'll be the sick bay. Bloody phone.

I'll get me coat....

Rosebag · 27/11/2015 17:00

Have a fantastic time you party animals. So sad not to be there.

BD sorry to hear about work and DM being worrying and stressful. Flowers

crem any news re the interview?

waf sorry the scope was horrible ( is it ever nice? I doubt it...) Flowers

MI you are torturing yourself. In truth this kind of faux pas happens quite often since we are all clicking buttons to communicate and are always in a rush. This wil pass. Just apologise for the mistake. Go to the party, sweetie. Have a drink and a dance for me because I can't. Xxx

Poor molly I do wish you better.

herbs have a brilliant evening and let everyone make a fuss of you! I think we will just have to have another bash for all these rain checks, eh. I am up for being the function manager for the crepey ball....

I am between shows. Both the DC doing both the Matinee and evening performance. Enjoyed working during the former even if I do struggle to scribble my notes in the dark. Somehow a bit of work is helping me with the sad moments the creep up,on me unexpectedly.
And I know I'm getting boring but I am so proud of the DC, especially DS and the band, and our lovely theatre. PLEASE, PLEASE COME AND SEE OUR SHOW, Crepeys? Xxx

GiddyGiddyGoat · 27/11/2015 17:00

You MUST come MI, I neeeed to see your dh in lilac! We will cheer you up / give you a shoulder to cry on / give you a good talking to Pleeeease?

Ta for the used note Beachy Wink

How did you get on Crem? Really hope it went ok.

Wishing you better Molly and Auriga and hoping you're ok too BD...

X

Rosebag · 27/11/2015 17:01

Ps monty are you ok...will text you soon. Xx

GiddyGiddyGoat · 27/11/2015 17:04

Can you link us to the details on FB Rose? Apologies if you have done that already and I've missed it. I'd love to come - would be even more fun to come as part of a Crepey contingent...

motherinferior · 27/11/2015 17:30

Shall try my best. He's not in lillac, alas!

Enjoy the dick bench, Monty.

herbaceous · 27/11/2015 17:40

Transport alert. If anyone was planning to get the overground from Liverpool Street, it's currently suspended after Hackney downs due to some halfwit Lordy getting stuck under a bridge.

NUFC69 · 27/11/2015 18:19

Belated birthday greetings to Herbs. Have a lovely time with all your friends this evening. I would love to see a photo of you all in your 'finery'. As I am not on FB, can MI email me one, pretty please? Such a shame that so many people are ill.

Crem, how did the interview go? We were all rooting for you. MI, sorry to hear about your mishap; I hope it gets sorted out without too much fuss.

We got back from deepest Derbyshire today - Chatsworth was lovely.

hattymattie · 27/11/2015 18:48

Lordy what's going on in England - everybody is ill. Even DD1 who is never ill has been given bedrest by the doc - she has tonsillitis.

Have a fantastic party Herbs - would love to be there. Make sure there are good photos on FB.

MI - It'll blow over - these things always do but agree horrible for you at the moment - you need a good party to get over it.

I am planning slobbing out in front of the tv with DH. We've hardly seen each other all week.

Crem - how did your interview go?

Blackduck · 27/11/2015 22:23

MI my experience is these things are never as bad as they seem at the time and I bet no one died...,

Seriously you should see some of the crap I've done this week.

Hope everyone at the party is having fun. Here dinner with ddad which was much needed for him.

MrsSchadenfreude · 28/11/2015 02:21

Home. With kebab.

We should have gone to that pub.

hattymattie · 28/11/2015 08:14

Eagerly awaiting news and gossip from hungover crepies.Smile

MrsSchadenfreude · 28/11/2015 09:14

I'm up! No hangover either. Just kebab breath.

hattymattie · 28/11/2015 09:17

Ha - it was the kebab that absorbed it. Grin.

Beautiful day here, off to the school fete.

MontserratCaballe · 28/11/2015 09:51

The pics on FB look fun but I can't see any Crepes apart from Herbs. Result on the no hangover MrsS, especially as it was such a late night.

GiddyGiddyGoat · 28/11/2015 11:12

Mrs S - I am impressed as I have some of idea of how much Prosecco was imbibed along with the cheese and pineapple on sticks! I feel just a tad fragile. Dh is teasing me for hiccuping most of the way home...

Herbs, it was FAB! Thank you so much for a brilliant evening.

herbaceous · 28/11/2015 11:19

My dearest crepeys. Thank you all SO MUCH for coming. I had the most brilliant time. And feel very lucky to have so many friends that went to so much trouble.

And thank you for my gift! I cannot wait to spend it...

I'm gradually opening my gifts, and finding myself with currently no fewer than FIVE (five, v) new and equally lovely necklaces. Swapping any for something else would cause offence, so I'm going to be rotating them daily.
