    Have a lovely weekend folks and I hope you achieve everything you set out to do.x

    So where we off to gals? My vote is Newcastle.

    Was thinking we could get there early-ish, have a wander down town, lunchtime glass of vino

    maybe a meal at La Tasca on the Quayside (I have 50% off voucher of course) and then hit the town later on?

    But we don't want any bad behaviour or fighting do we girls?

    Oh, that sounds good to me - Newcastle it is! Now, red or white with lunch, madam?:rotfl: Can we find a BYOB place or are we going total non MS?
    No fighting, but a little naughty behaviour is permitted, I think:eek: Pass the deely boppers!

  • Back from business trip but only going to claim one NSD for to-day, I confess with great sadness that I had to piddle in two station loo's and it cost 30p per piddle, so put an end to all of my good intentions! Even the aliens couldn't help in that situation (maybe a catheter or a potty?????)

    Cost of piddle ridiculous in stations, however, personally I wouldnt let that mar an otherwise bona fide NSD- I mean whats the alternative? Claim the 60p back on your expenses as "miscellaneous" :rotfl:( Now, I never said that, no I did not!

    Did someone mention a knees-up???????????
    Got my passport ready - Newcastle here I come:):)
    curlygirl - you are such a spoilsport - the whole point of the weekend is bad behaviour, surely?:rotfl:

    Keeping an eye on everyone now I'm temporarily "in charge" :rotfl::rotfl:. Lots of NSDs being reported so far, I see... well done everyone.
    pure dead dopey - 30 p is a bit steep:eek::eek::eek::eek: I like the idea of putting it on expenses though:rotfl:

    So what we all wearing to Newcastle?

    I'm 38
    My feet feel as if they are aged around 80 so no heels for me
    My chest is 32" so low cut is pointless
    My midriff is 40" so comfy pants rather than hot pants I think

    Gosh I'll look GORGEOUS

    As for bad behaviour.........I'm usually too tired after all that drinking, eating and raucous carrying on. I'll be wanting my PJ's by 12pm but you can always rely on me to make a complete plonker of myself early on and at least make everyone laugh

    I seriously wouldn't count these very necessaries as SD's. I was in Kingston last weekend - and unfortunately my sis was unwell on the journey back through London and we used all of our change up at various stations, By the time we got to Euston she just made a 'I'm going to Vom' motion to the attendant and was let through!

    But am glad to hear that you at least use the facilities. When I was 10 I went on a school trip to London and despite Buckingham Palace and the Tower, the only thing I remember from the day was something I witnessed on the underground - in one of the tunnels at the entrance to a platform. It was very busy but a lady in a smart skirted suit stopped, put her briefcase down, got out a newspaper and spread it on the ground. Hitched her skirt up, knickers down, squated and ahem 'laid a log'. And then wrapped it up in the newspaper. And that was my enduring memory of London and it wasn't until I was 32 that I felt able to go back. I still feel queasy about it now......
