    My Dad says that if our kids are ginger he's going to make them wear hats when he takes them out! He's only half joking. :o A guy he knows actually does that with his nephews! :rotfl:

    We've more or less picked a name and it's a very subtle nod to geekiness. :cool: VERY subtle, but it was enough to convince OH! :)

    Meet-up peeps, we need to make plans for actually meeting on Saturday morning! Is there a good spot at Kings Cross and do we need a roll call list so we don't wander off without someone?! :)

    Oops, hit send before I was ready. All plans sound great, I'm sacking off work and am in!

    I vote for a 'sit down and gossip' start before we hit the museums and/or shops, but other than that, I'm easy :)

    Poddle, you're a freaking genius! 9 3/4 it is! :T And yay- you're coming! :)

    Anyone know a nice place for tea and cake and gossip not too far from the station/on the way to the museum? :)

    9 and 3/4 is perfect as long as someone takes my picture as I do the dramatic Harry Potter fall! I really don't know London well enough to suggest anywhere, but a gossip over second breakfast sounds good to me :) I'm so excited!

    Can't wait to hear his name, glad it has a nod to geekery - it wouldn't be right if it didn't :D

    Ohh talking of Ron Weasley he was in our local work pub on friday, i wasn't there but some of my work friends chatted to him!

    My OH has the ginger gene but i don't think my side do. He has a tinge of ginger in his facial hair but his half brother and sister are full on ginger.

    Obviously! Birdie I blame your baby brain for not thinking of that! I don't seem to think it's there any more though, or the trolley bit isn't? I think I get in about 9.50, will have to find my ticket and check :o But yeah add me to the roll call! I'll be in touch again before the weekend but up to my ears in planning at the mo! :eek: Remind me why I'm doing this....

    Hope everyone's well :hello:

    It's still there Tete, it's been moved around to the 'new' bit, the mezzanine with the cafes and stuff overlooks it. At least, last time I was there that's where it was! :)

    My train arrives at 10.15 so I'll come looking for people! :) I'm so worried about how tired I'm going to be on Saturday, will be my longest day out in ages, I'm normally pooped after 2 hours! :eek: Sunday will be a very quiet, sleepy day for me! :o

    Good luck for the exam Kavics! Have a good flight tomorrow too- you must be so excited! I'll put my number on the FB group, might be good if other people stick theirs on there too as I don't always hear my phone! :o

    Very cool about your friends meeting Ron, Wendz!
