Hi everyone!

Sorry to have taken a while, (have just cleaned the last little finger marks off the French windows!) but I now need to kick start this! Time seems to have run away with me, so I wondered how you are fixed for early October?

Think I have found a venue, but Grannylin and I will explore it further.

So - I have about ten names so far, but the more the definitely merrier, knowing you lot. Let me know.

Everyone OK for Friday? I am looking forward to it SO much.

I'm really looking forward to meeting up next week. grin The direct route from here to Exeter is closed due to roadworks and I don't know how long the diversion will take, so I'll err on the side of caution and probably wander along the river for a while if I arrive too early.

Oh Galen I do understand, but will be so sorry not to meet you. sad
My last two babies (both boys) were back to back and although I delivered them unaided by forceps it was jolly hard work and very painful.

Ariadne Mon 07-Oct-13 16:34:01

So, so sorry, Galen! Have pm'd you. Xx

Galen Mon 07-Oct-13 13:47:55

Sorry folks. Just too overcommitted at presnt

Oldgreymare Mon 07-Oct-13 09:33:23

Galen, I've sent you a PM.

Gally Sun 06-Oct-13 20:53:41

Oh Galen! What a shame - I was so looking forward to meeting you sad Hope all goes well with your new gc.

Galen Sun 06-Oct-13 19:57:00

I'm afraid I'll have to pull out. My latest travels have left me very nervous of travelling. Also I might be needed for my dd who is due to deliver that weekend!.
The silly girl is insisting on a home delivery in spite of her age and complications in the last pregnancy with an abnormal lie! Baby is lying back to back with her as was the last one, necessitating ventouse and forceps!

Oh good! I can't answer your question, but I'm sure someone can. There's a taxi rank at Dt Davids, though!

Do hope you can make it,*Atqui*.

I'm still hoping to come! If I can't I will let you know. I wonder if park and ride goes to station? I'm coming from Plymouth area.

Oldgreymare Sun 29-Sept-13 11:23:10

Yippee indeed! Count me in unless pestilence and flood intervene! xx

Ariadne Sun 29-Sept-13 10:58:54

Hello, everyone! I've just sent a load of pms, but thought I'd post as well in case anyone else is interested.

I need to confirm our booking next week, so can you let me know if you still intend to come, please? They have a wedding on as well, so want to be sure of approximate numbers. (The wedding is in a separate room!)

I have booked for 12, by the way. AND you can, of course, cancel if there is a problem.

Yippee! smile

Ariadne Thu 19-Sept-13 17:39:27

Oh, good!! Will try to finalise numbers next week. smile

Gally Thu 19-Sept-13 09:43:14

I will 99% be there, barring plague, pestilence or storm grin

Oldgreymare Thu 19-Sept-13 09:21:58

Only 4 weeks to go! smile

Galen Thu 12-Sept-13 08:40:17

Ariadne Thu 12-Sept-13 08:23:56
