Hellllloooooo my daaarlinks ....
Well, here's the run down. After finally getting hold of MrsJC I made my way into town on the train to meet her. DH and the children dropped me off at the station and my goodbyes included, "Don't wait up, I don't know when I will be home" .
I found MrsJC loitering outside her hotel and we had big hugs before walking 15 minutes or so to Beer Deluxe on Flinders Street. We talked non stop all the way like we were childhood friends . When we got to the pub we found that Wilbs and DCSnatchsunhill were on the sauce already [lushes].
Mumsnet is an amazing phenomenon really ... after introductions with real names and Mumsnet names (good job it was a quiet Tuesday night) we settled down for a good chinwag ... then tangox3 turned up followed swiftly by superloopy and livinginadreamworld ... We talked like old friends - which we all are, kind of and DCsnatch kept us all amused. She's a funny lass that one ... cracks me up
We then walked down to Southbank and settled down for dinner and the aforementioned Gigantic pizzas ... Wine and vodka flowed with much chit chat ... loads of anecdotes flew across the the table and much laughing was had by all.
My lasting memory will be DCsnatch explaining quite clearly how old a boy is when he begins to produce Sperm (don't ask why) with the waiter standing calmly behind her waiting for a dessert order. I thought Wilbs was going to pee her pants
MrsJC gently encouraged me to have an Irish Coffee (which was more Irish than Coffee if you see what I mean) and I am sure that is why I felt pretty crapola this morning - as I wasn't that drunk ...
We were the last to leave the restaurant and had it not been a Tuesday I would have very easily been up for further fun and games.
I think we have to have weekend meet ups in the future laydees .... [gagging for it] I love Vodka.
After kissing the other girls goodbye Tangox3 and I took MrsJC back to her hotel and then shared a cab home ...
I rolled in at 12.15 which is very late for me I have to say.
Didn't feel that flash this morning but was determined to make it into town to finally meet up with Cali ...
After dragging the children around a museum we went back to SouthBank and I met up with MrsJC AND Cali this afternoon for an all too short hour. I was with a friend and I must say she must think we are a bit odd
Cali is fine - still alive and kicking and hasn't murdered anyone yet.
She is coping with the mad In Laws, just but it isn't going too well as both her children have been chundering which is not good news for Califrau considering she is an Emetephobe (sp) and coupled with the EMIL's shenanigans I think she was relieved to have a day with MrsJC ... they have had a wonderful day shopping and catching up ...
When i caught up with them we had a top hour talking in bizarre Mumsnet speak mentioning strange names etc etc ...
Again, lots of hugs with them both as they are lovely and fabulous ... it was just brilliant to see them
We took a photo of the three of us today so I will download it and put it on my profile in a bit. No photos from last night though as not everyone wants their pics on MN (pretty understandable)
