I rang the pub earlier today to confirm numbers. It looks like there are going to be 30+ people coming

The thing is that 1-3 is their busiest time so they cant book a table for that many. 20 is the most they can book for.

It shouldnt be a problem because we can always commandeer another table

Last time we all headed out for a drink anyway.


Tracey.

Looking forward to meeting you all. Well done to Tiredwithtwins for heading all the way from sheffield with a car full of kids

hi guys,
just wanted to say thanks to everyone for making me feel so welcome! I had a lovely time, sorry i didnt really chat to everyone ...
tracey, it was so lovely to see you again - you look fantastic!! lucy was a bit in awe of your daughter ... she wanted to do her hair just like your daughters when we got home lol!
it took us just over 2 hours to get home .... we nearly got squished by a truck on the m1 who decided (as i was doing about 90 in the fast lane) that he wanted to come into our lane too - now i know my car is only small, but it aint that small!! anyway, lots of horn blasting and one fingered salutes were given and we all got on fine
see you at the next one!!!!

I'm sure you sorted him out.

Younger girls do tend to look up to the older girls. I wont tell her what you said because her head might swell

There was a few people wanting to meet you who never got the chance. Asked which one was you but you had just left so we'll defo have to have another!

Thanks again everyone for coming. I was really pleased with the amount of people who came and was especially pleased with how well the kids got on. I agree with Lorna that it's good for the kids to meet other kids as I feel that they often get overlooked and dont have anyone to talk to who understands what they're thinking.

Speaking of Lorna, Natalie was laughing her head off at me and how thick I am. I asked Lorna what she done and she told me. Then 5 minutes later I asked her if she worked . Was taking the mick because she learnt more than me

In my defence: I am working full time shifts, doing a university course, trying to organise 1 daughters 18th birthday and anothers school leavers prom whilst trying to arrange to move my family and 2 dogs to the other side of the world so my heads up my a*** half the time

So, I think I'll try and organise one for June when kelli 28s over (if she's still coming) if not we'll have 1 anyway.

kaye and julie, was great to meet you too.

I have to say julie, your boys are really funny. They had my kids in stitches I think your oldest could be a comedian.

Give me a shout if you arrange one up your end and I'll try and come.

Hi Tracey

Hi, you just finished a 12 hour shift too? Had to have a 6 mile hike to pathology this afternoon (at least it seems that long) was half expecting to bump into you on the way

tracey.d

He was on msn when I got home from work. He's only just started going on it and is becoming addicted already, lol.

If you fancy it we could meet up some time with the boys

that goes for everyone else who was there with the kids, they all got on well

We could have the first expats kids meet

Lornagoingtobrissy

Yes Tracey that would be good
