Hi all,

As promised just getting back in touch to progress the Come dine with me idea. I've been having a think and I thought it would be useful to put together an 'About me' document for each of us to fill in and pm/e-mail back to me. I will then distribute the documents amongst us and/or arrange a get together in a local pub (in a couple of weeks) where we can all meet briefly and you can decide to commit to taking part or opt out. Groups will then be arranged.

Any thoughts or suggestions please let me know

Thanks,

Diana

Hi Diana,

Sounds like you have a really organised plan in mind. Great stuff.

Unfortunately, I can't open the attachments. Could you try again in a basic word document?

Many thanks,

Emily

[Shaila Shah]

Would definitely want to join...had suggested something similar a few months ago with a view to donating proceeds to charity...

[Diana85]

Sorry... resaved the document so please try again!!

[jam_log]

Application attached!

[Diana85]

Hello,

Me again!

Sorry its been so long.

I have received c.9 people since my app message so I am thinking it will be 2 groups of 5.

If you haven't got in touch confirming interest since apps went up please let me know otherwise you will miss out.

For those that have got in touch with me I have sent a message proposing an initial. Please let me know if convenient and I can arrange

Thanks

Diana

PS: I'm looking forward to meeting you all... as a little insight, ages currently range from 23-60.

These include:

A desert lover who has previously run to Germany.

An artistic social worker that doesn't like mushroom, tripe or brain!

A chinese speaking construction worker that likes to boogie.

A blue peter badge winner who is an advocate for Jamie Oliver's Lemon and Garlic chicken.

An italian food lover who would love to open a cupcake shop one day

Dates for both groups in the diary, celebratory get together and awards 12th aug, menus for the first group due next week... It's happening so if u don't want to miss out and are serious about taking part, drop me a message! Not just about the food and cooking so why not join in the experience! X x

[lordshiplass]

Hi everyone,

We have four lovely ladies who are doing Come Dine with Me and are looking to get one more local man or woman involved in the fun!

There has been tons of interest and we have dates confirmed so if you would like to join in, grab your diary and get back to us. Essential that you can make the first two dates and the 18th July - we need a minimum of 4 people at every dinner party.

Dates are as follows:

Weds 15th June: Rosie's night

Friday 8th July: Emily's night

Saturday 16th July: Diana's night

Monday 18th July: Bea's night

Date to be confirmed: Your night!

(Choose a date before Aug 12th when we're having an 'awards night' with the other party of five at a local restaurant)

Should be a great way to show off your culinary talents, meet your neighbours and generally have a laugh.

First response back gets the space....

[Peckhampam]

Our group just had our first evening. Great meal, great hostess. great evening. Give it a go!

[jenniejenjen10]
