So I was re-reading the self-esteem thread and it seems to me like we'd have much more fun getting to know each other with a glass of wine in hand and someone else minding the baby. Let's have a night out! Are your diaries already full of festive frolics or can we squeeze a Friday/Sat meet-up in somewhere? 10th/11th Dec any good?

I'm not available that weekend either, but keen in principle. Is a Thursday or another school night out of the question? Or I could do Friday 17th? Or this Sat (4th)? Obviously won't be able to choose a date that works for everyone, so if 11th/12th has more momentum stick with that!

So that's 3 for next Friday? Any advances? Ruth, come & drink a

St Clements with us!


I'd rather do a Fri/Sat night as OH will do the morning after wake-up and I just can't work with any kind of hangover these days but could possibly try (to drink less) a Thursday if better for more folk?

I love the idea of the adventure playground, but with a just 2 year old suspect I'd spend more time leaping after her to prevent death defying leaps etc rather than sitting chatting!!


Doubt I can make 10th/11th - how about 17th/18th or that week in run up to Christmas? Yorkie when do you finish work for the holidays?

Indeed, I was thinking adventure playground more for a family get together. My 16th month old does not stop so my conversations are always half shouted across the room as I try to prevent her escaping from wherever we are!


I'm finishing work on the 17th, OH is not working Xmas Eve for the first time since we've been together so for once we won't be driving up the A1 on Christmas Eve. We're off Oop North on the 22nd but am tied up really the days before.


Shall we bump to January? I'm happy to go out next Friday but I think 3 of us is too few considering the potential for colds/babysitting/poorly babies scuppering mother's plans!

Having been to the main EDF drinks last month I highly recommend it to anyone in the family room looking for a night out in good company. I did know a few people there already which helped, but everyone I spoke to was lovely, it's a very friendly welcoming atmosphere.


I plan to drag at least a few of you with me once I'm back in the UK!

    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
    • Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.   
    • Totally agree with you.  🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
