New Year Resolution
 
I've got a New Years Resolution and I'm going to give it a bloody good shot.

Meet Up. With you lot.

I'm not talking about any of the following ideas;

Wild Wadi
Brunch
Dinner
Lunch
Off-Roading session
Sand Boarding
Trip to the Mall

I'm talking about going for a beer. Maybe we can allow the odd glass of wine for the ladies amongst, but beer mainly.

Suggested dates;

Thurs Jan 27th
Fri Jan 28th
Thurs Feb 3rd
Fri Feb 4th

Are those acceptable for the masses?

Excuses are not to be made, you've got time to work out how to dispose of your children for the night.

Location will more than likely be Loca up near the mega-flag, because they sell Pride on tap and it's where we went last time and it was quite agreeable.

Please reply and let me know;

Which date is best for you?
Would Loca suit? Or any other suggestions?
Whether you actually WANT to meet some of the nasty bastards on here? OR
Whether unfortunately cannot attend because you find actual conversation difficult, awkward and generally involving a lot of snorting - if this is the case then stick the internet.

I would love to come. Don't know where Loca is, though. Oh, and some ladies drink beer - I do.

Good. Progress.

3rd or 4th preferred so far.

Do people want to do straight from work or Friday's instead?

I'd prefer a Thursday eve and may drag along Mr Meow.

Scamp you need to check you dates as it's Thursday 26th, Friday 27th, Thursday 2nd & Friday 3rd. ;)

LaLaLayla - Loca is at Dubai Marine Resort, off Beach Road, Jumeirah 1. :)

ha I know, just back a few days ago from Malaysia and Oz, it was bloody amazing.

Got 5 days in Chiang Mai with the lad and then doing a few nights in Bangkok and meeting a Geordie mate.

Staying in a 1 bed suite in the Banyan Tree by the way, for people who advised me, £130 a night for room, brekkie, unlimited snacks and drinks in the lounge room and a 90 minute massage each day - that's not bad is it? ;)

Hey! That's all my mental freelance that's taken over my life over the 4 months, using it on nice holidays,

Although we are starting a savings fund very soon so may need some advice on some sort of offshore banking....

Re: New Year Resolution
 
I had some resolutions, but still fine tuning them...

New Year's resolution- Date more models.

Revised- Date more.

Revised again- Get a date.

Revised one last time- Stop crying whilst masturbating.

I can't make Thursday 2nd Feb now. The mother in law and her chap are coming to stay...

Erm, I am pleased to say that I won't be coming after all. Not that I wasn't looking forward to meeting you all, of course. But - after our third (and final) cycle of IVF - I am pleased to announce that I am pregnant!!!!

So rather than than subject you to Sober Layla (no fun), I think I'll wait until after the baby is born and hopefully meet up with you all at the Christmas Party.

Hope the evening is a success. I always enjoyed the AD BE nights out.
