Back on track with the thread, cissy when I have organised the last two xmas bm meet ups they have been child friendly meals on an afternoon, so no dark journeys or childminders to arrange. Also discount meal prices for the children.
Off thread I don't do christmas very well, I love my girls to bits and spending time with them but it was an xmas time when I first discovered my sister and my hubby were having an affair and even now xmas always brings this back to me, I am also committed to spend xmas with my ex in laws who I love to bits as they have only me and my girls. My girls all have their own families now though and have said this year they will be spending it with their partners so I am not sure what this one holds for me.
Sorry folks didnt realise a xmas bash had already been arranged for the 5th, my apologies RC
Maybe combining that with the bike show is a good idea if folks think they would be sober enough to get up lol
I love christmas..even though I split up about then..It is still a good time of year especially for the wee bairns!!! You can never have too much parties BJ so don't apologise nice to have the choice, unless you live in frickin Aberdeen lol!
well xmas is just for the kids i feel, its the time around the anniversary of my mums death all be it along time ago now, so i am glad once its gone, but as long as my kids are happy, so am i....
just one thing cissy,if your kids are away,why complain about babysitters who charge by the hour???? just an observation lol
I'm not overkeen on christmas myself,far too commercial and you cant get near the bar in the pub for the once a year drinkers
well xmas is just for the kids , well said Ian but then again aint we the big kids on the block lol
.
ok I will refraze that old kid, not big lol
.
ok young kid in old skin pmsl
goin bak 2 the the thread, i dont fink bj had mentioned a date for a xmas do, as I said earlier in the thread I personally dont wanna do the already arranged xmas do on the 5th, as 1, its the same wkend as goin 2 the bike show and 2, I dont fancy walkin round the pubs in the cold, so BJ's suggestion maybe of goin 4 a drink sumwhere cov/brum way the nite b4 the bike show is a good idea. Also cg's suggestion of goin 4 a meal daytime, wiv kids if thats wot peeps wanna do is also a gud idea. There is no reason why we cant have 2 or more separate xmas do's on different days in diffferent locations, this way it gives peeps the choice of events they fancy goin 2.
RC is already organising a do on the 5th in Derby but alas this clashes with the end of the Bike Show in Brum so we can always make a second date available for another party for those who cant make RCs and / or a daytime met so kids can come along.
RCs do is the sat nite and we're off to the bike show on the sunday u plum !!!! idea being folk travel up for bike show on sat and make nite of it ( i think)
It hasnt been sorted properly it was mentioned at rally and i'm testin the water to see if anyone is game nough to travel to BRUMMIELAND the home of JACKIE, u were too pished to notice i guess lol
