Swindon meet ups

Wear some tinsel, then!

Eeek! I don’t have a Christmas jumper!

nanasam....don’t feel guilty! We all agreed to an earlier get together. It will be good to get in the Christmas mood before December. Besides,it will be entertaining to see the reaction to us arriving in our tasteful(!) Christmas outfits.

I agree with Lemon, let's go for it.

Let’s make it a Christmas meet up just in case we are all too busy in December ( it does get hectic.)
If we do manage to meet up, it could just be a coffee in Dun elm in Dec.
Look forward to seeing you all next Wed.Secret Santa pressies.....hooray!

Feeling very guilty that the Christmas theme is all my fault. I'll be in Oz all of December but wanted to catch up before I went. I'm more than happy for this to be a 'normal' meet (if there is such a thing with us ) and you do your own thing nearer to Christmas. xx

I have booked the table for 12md, so I guess any time after that will work.
Are we not having another meet up in December, or is everyone too busy?

Well done fish!

Ok. Have read the messsages and will do my best.

Hi Everyone,
If you are all ok with this the plan Lemon & I have agreed is that each will wrap their gift and they can be placed on the table we can then each pick a pressie at random (not our own of course). In order to keep things ananomouse we will need to 'hid' our gift & when time to put it on the table we can all close our eyes (get the wine out of the way first of course) so will not know who has brought what. Clear as mud! I will try to PM everyone so we are all aware. X

So is this our Christmas meeting? If so how about bringing a secret Santa gift. I would suggest a spend of £5.37, the exact amout must be spent so may involve more than one item. It is quite a challenge but fun to see what gifts are found for that amount. I don't have a Christmas top, tacky or otherwise but I will see what I can find.
I think that we usually meet at 12:30. Looking forward to it so off to get my gift!

I think we should wear tacky Christmas tops!

Well I’m definitely hoping you’ll think of some more games which weren’t taught last time as we were too busy playing Black Magic! lemongrove I’ll pick you up from Dunelm. What time are we meeting?

Crown Hotel, on the High St - I think it might be open all day I can't remember if we arranged to do anything this time

As long as the buses are still running!
Are we bringing anything or thinking of a game?
Christmas theme?

22nd is fine for me. Hope that we are all able to meet up. A reminder of the name of the pub would be good. If it's open all day goodness knows what time we will get home!

Thanks, slightly better today, but miffed I missed all the fun yesterday, so have put the next date in the diary,cheers, hic!

Morning Lemongrove, hope you are feeling better, does Nov 22nd work for you?

Oh how I enjoyed our time together yesterday - we are a great group.
Nov 22nd is good for me too, looking forward to it.

Great for me too

Another nice lunch,although it’s getting to be a habit to be chucked out of a pub at closing time!!

I’ve rearranged my appointments and so November 22nd is now ok with me.

I have a suggestion for a game but it takes a bit of thought so I don't want to spring it on you! I think that we all check for any late messages so here goes, just in case you all look at this before tomorrow lunchtime. You must tell the group three things about yourself, two must be true and one must be fabricated. It can be great fun trying to guess which is the fib! The game also enables us to find out a bit more about each other. See you all tomorrow at midday. X

Same here, will bring DH pressie ideas and pick your brains for a round the table game.

Yes, looking forward to seeing you all for another pub lunch,
Have to remember it closes at 3pm this time.?

Looking forward to meeting up on Wednesday. Attempted a PM, but with no success.
