Calling the Southern Belles of the Forum

[Pipsqueak]

Whoooo hooo ladies (and gents?) I am heading South for Christmas. Unexpectedly but very excitedly.

Fancy meeting up for drinkies???

We (the whole tribe plus kit) are heading down the A1M on the 23rd and will probably staying Saturday 2nd - so lots of time to arrange a meet-up:thumbsup: if you want?


edited to add that I am heading to East Sussex and if we meet up I promise I won't have my tribe with me, I will leave them at my sisters. I might even get my hubs to drive me there and back and I can have a drinkie

[ORKSIE]

I am in Cambridgeshire.....is that close?

Oh Orksie, I think its still a way out:(

I am heading to Eastbourne East Sussex.

Met with Twinks, Minstrel and Blaze in Oxted Surrey last time.

wish I could say if you could travel down I could offer you a bed for the night but I think my sister is packed out for the holidays once we arrive on her doorstep

[helenlc]

I am about an hour and a bit from Eastbourne.

Maybe we could meet in the middle in Tunbridge Wells/Tonbridge/Sevenoaks?

Sounds good :thumbsup:

I know a couple of the ladies don't drive so would you mind if we hang fire before we make a firm decision???

I will drive anyway and have a 7 seater. I dont mind picking people up on the way there or if they want to make their way to me, and I will bring them down with me.

I am near Orpington and St Mary Cray train stations, if that helps with others.

Orksie, have a look and see how easy or hard it will be for you to get to Orpington or St Mary Cray train stations. I can pick you up and drive you down with me.

[Blaze]

Isn't it about time you came down to London Mandy;) :)

[nannysue]

Oh dear not far enough down south for me ! i'm waaaaaaaaaay further down :laughing:

[ajs]

Isn't it about time you came down to London Mandy;) :)

london itself is not the problem but the whole coming down and staying with my mother is what stops me
i adore my mother but we only get on well with me living 150 miles away,
as soon as i arrive in her house i become a person i don't like very much,

[Blaze]

I have a sofa you could crash on - you don't HAVE to see your mother! (I get on great with my mum, as long as we don't speak)!:rolleyes: :D

[littletreasures]

I'm not too far away, could be up for it, depending where and when.

[TheBTeam]

I would be able to get to Oxted, but not on those days, as we have football and then have to go to Norfolk for a family party over the new year weekend!

[wendywu]

I dont mind have a couple of meets. Why not, its nice to have new friends. Oxted is 20min from me East Grinsted only 30 min.:)

We should meet up other times than Christmas :D

[Blaze]

Serparate to this I was speaking to Twinkles & saying as soon as works are complete that you & here would have to come over to mine! ...Just so happens that it all happens around Christmas!:)

[Tinglesnark]
