  • Hello Everyone - as a lurker of this thread just wanted to say hope you all have a wonderful time at the meet tomorrow.
    I live in Birmingham but unfortunately have other plans for tomorrow so can`t get there. Although I have never been to the Old Joint Stock before, it looks very nice and there are always good reviews in the local press about it.

    I'm packing now, this sounds as if it might be more glam than I thought. Is anyone wearing sparkly, if so I need to re-think? The attempt to lose 3 stone in the last month has failed completely BTW.:(


    I'm not dressing up - I dont do dressing up, casual wear for me but i'm not there for the evening so maybe people will be smarter later in the day?
    Do what you love :happyhear
  • Have a great time folks! Maybe next time I'll join you as I'm only down the road :D
    :D Skint but happy with my lovely family :D

    Hypnotherapy rocks :j
  • Ah my frocks not fancy smancy, Its a retro sort of one I'd say, the only glitz will be my earings and braclet :D
  • Many thanks all , it seems what I have packed will be fine black top and skirt for evening, black trousers and top for day. I cannot wait, I've got to sell Panto tickets first for Am Dram society. Then on the train and there.

    Oh lord I am wearing the same in the eve as what I wore in the day :rotfl: You lot sound like you're really going to town ('scuse the pun ;))

    Zoe - your frock sounds very swish, not sure Broad Street is the frock sort of place unless it's the size of a belt ;) :rotfl:

    If anyone wants my mobile send me a PM, at least living near Brum I can direct you if you get lost (I hope :o)

  • Ha Bitsy, I'm a veteran for Broad street :P Or i used to be! My frock'll be fine, I did say to Hubby, aren't you a bit glad I've put away the mountains on my chest for once(as I'm going out without him) and he said 'No, you still look far to sexy, but in a very different way' Awww bless him. So hopefully the dress is suitable for wherever, whatever we end up doing!
    I'm still torn with which hotel to book, both the premier inn on waterloo street and the ramada encore are at £59...Hmmm

    Zoe at least with Waterloo street you'll be close to where the others are staying. Just thinking of when it's kicking out time (;)) at least you can all travel back to your respective hotels together? Just a thought anyway.

    What an adorable thing for your H to say :D All I get out of mine is "you look nice" :o
