Okay, so I'm thinking that we'll meet about 7.30/8pm - how's that for everyone else?

I was wondering, if anyone would mind if a couple of my other (Aussie) friends/partner turned up.... they would like to have a birthday drink with me as well I was going to meet up with them on the Saturday, but I have to go to a footy presentation night instead
If anyone has any objections and would like to keep it to girlie expats, its not a problem I'll meet them earlier on or something - just let me know

Still don't know my shifts for this week but even if I work, I should be able to get there at about nine the latest. Bf has already asked if he was allowed to come...I am sure he will be happy to hear the news!

The Blokey is taking me out to dinner beforehand, but we'll eat at Chermside and be at Gils by 8pm!

Oh....hmmmm..... well, if we can bring blokes along.... can I bring one too? Met myself a lovely Aussie bloke! He mentioned he wouldn't mind coming along... just thought I'd check - what with him not being an expat and all....

General opinion?

Just a quick bump for this - as its Michelles birthday do, rather than an official meeting of the drinking Club, we are allowing blokes to come along......so if anyone wants to join us, look for the idiot in the purple witchy hat - we'll be at a table outside Gilhooleys at Chermside from about 7.30 onwards tonight (Friday). Even The Bloke said he might come......unless theres something good on TV ........
(he's cute, but less simpering even than I am!)
