Damsels Scotland Meet!

[Pikeypants]

OK, The Mega Meet has officially graduated to Damsels! :ellie:

In keeping with our mascot, please have a look in Damsels Mum's Photos for our secret location, then sign up here. We need to decide a date too.

Options are:

1st July
8th July
15th July
22nd July
29th July

Anyone with further suggestions & hotel recs near the venue, please post in Dams photos. I really hope lots of people will make the effort to travel. I know it is a long way & will cost some pennies but it really will be a great weekend (London & Birmingham were fab :ellie: )

For those who really can't make it- watch this space, we will keep on having them around the country until everyone has been to at least one Mega Meet!

[Calamity]

I've voted for the 15th of July but can actually do any of the dates :ellie:

[noo noo]

Can you vote for more than one? I can manage them all at the moment!

[Pikeypants]

Well I suppose if you can make them all, then vote for none! It is the same result :wik:

[Hello Kitty]

I voted for the 15th but should be able to do all :clap:

[RedTiger]

I couldn't see the location on Damsels Mums Photos :huh: Anyway since i'm in the vicinity I probably will be going along! Unless its arranged for the 8th or 15th July - I'll be on holiday then so I'd miss it :-(

Also couldn't see an option for the 29th on the poll? Is my eyesight failing in me old age? :laff:

[Calamity]

Also couldn't see an option for the 29th on the poll? Is my eyesight failing in me old age? :laff:

Yes, you auld fart :wik:

[Mad Madam Mim]

I can do any! So haven't voted.

As long as Jules and Pikes make it up I'll be happy.

Aw that is so sweet, I imagine we will try to drag up the artist formally known as Adele with us if she is fit to travel :wave: :clap:

[Pancake01]

I'm just checking flights for these dates and boy, are they coming up cheap! If people are to take advantage, I suppose the date needs to be sorted ASAP.

I can do any of them at the moment, so I haven't voted.

Naturally I would want to see Adelee too (I know she will have to be chaperoned while preggers!)

[Calamity]

Fink I'm going to Legoland on the 6th/7th so I'd rather not have the meet on the 8th if possible

J.x

[shamu]

Please please please please can we make it the 22nd?????? (which I have obviously voted for ;-) )
I am coming up to my parents for 6 weeks (possibly more) once things are a bit more settled with madam, but can't imagine I'll be there much before the 15th so the 22nd would be MUCH better for me :D I'll pretty definitely be there by then and I missed the London meet because I was working the night before :-(
Shamu
;-)

[Devil Girl]

I should make all of the dates. I have my mum and dad and my friend visiting at some points in July so I am hoping that it will be the 22nd :D Though the 1st would also be just as funky :D

For the other dates I would just have to explain to whichever one it clashed with :lol:

[Adelelee]

I can do any! So haven't voted.

As long as Jules and Pikes make it up I'll be happy.

Oh right so you are not bothered if me and Miss E make it then, thats it I am having a major strop now :laff: :laff:

[RedTiger]

Can I change my vote to 22nd? :wik: I did vote for 1st - just because it was the first one I came to :laff: but I can also make the 22nd and it looks like that'd suit a few others too :ellie:

[noo noo]

Pikey - So as not to exclude anyone can this be posted on Handbag and HB mums too?

[Pikeypants]

Mimsy- Of course I will be there! Wouldn't miss a shindig in Bonnie Scotland now would I?

Adelelee- you'd better get your ass there madam- besides I wanna check out Mr Adelelee :wik:

Noo Noo- is there anyone over there who isn't over here though? It is afterall a Damsels meet now. What if I post about a meet with no details & anyone can PM me if they want to come- that way I can redirect them without getting into trouble :roll:

I'd be happy to make it the 22nd if it means Shamu can come :) Lots of people seem to be able to do any date so if there are no objections, we will make it so!

[silverpod]

Can someone tell me where to go to find the cheap flights please? And can I fly at 32 weeks? :preggie:

OMG! 32 weeks!

SP :)

[Adelelee]

Jet2.com fly Manchester to Edinburgh (though probaby East Midlands would be closer for you??)

BMIbaby also fly there

Not sure about flying at 32 weeks?? What about the train?

If we come then we shall drive up, thinking of coming up Friday night and staying with Rellies and then in hotel Saturday night!!

Pikey, you are more than welcome to check him out love :laff: :laff: :laff:

[Pikeypants]

BMI Baby fly from our local airport SP- I've just ahd a look & you can do it for as little as £32.93, although you would have to stay an extra day!

To fly out Sat & back Sun is from £42.93 if you are willing to fly back at 9pm. There are only 3 seat left though...shall I book them?!

[Mad Madam Mim]

I can do any! So haven't voted.

As long as Jules and Pikes make it up I'll be happy.

Oh right so you are not bothered if me and Miss E make it then, thats it I am having a major strop now :laff: :laff:

:doh: :doh:

:spank: to me of course I want you and Miss E :grouphug: :heartlipstick:

My typiing fingers are faster than my brain!

a contrite Mim xx

[silverpod]

I just had a look at them pikey (and have checked out Brum airport too).

You also need a docs certificate and to contact them before the booking to fly between 30 and 36 weeks. Thing is, the flight back on Sunday is quite late. :-( And I would need to know how much a hotel might be.

I have had a look at the train and that is 4:30 hours each way!

And I haven't even checked the calender yet to see if I can go. :doh:

[silverpod]

Oh, and I got a quote for over £43.. is that 'cos dd is over 2 and I have to get a seat for her? (There won't be any room left on my lap by that point I can assure you!)

[Pikeypants]

Yes you will have to pay for DD but she will get her own seat at least, unlike wrigglebum Jen who will be walking all over me to talk to all the other passengers no doubt :roll:

The hotel that we are currently looking at is £49 per night. The Sunday flight is quite late, but the earlier one is too expensive.

[silverpod]

I don't think it's do-able, I just had another look with all the info and the cheapest for us is £87, then hotel at £50. (Plus other bits) :-( Plus I am worried about finalising things until I have had my 20 week scan to see how things are. So go ahead and book for you and Jen. I should have put my foot down and told DH I wanted to go to the Brum meet now.

But I was amazed how cheap some of them were-£2.99. It's more expensive to get the bus to Derby (though they don't charge £15 in tax! :laff: )

SP

[shamu]

I'd be happy to make it the 22nd if it means Shamu can come :) Lots of people seem to be able to do any date so if there are no objections, we will make it so!

Aww thanks chick! Ha ha - you may not want me there if I'm still in the "mad" postnatal phase though :laff: But I'd be GUTTED if it was a week or two before we arrived......

SP - if you didn't mind sleeping on a fold up bed we could probably put one person up (my mum is SOOO going to have a fit when I tell her all this :roll: :laff: ) But no guarantees she'll agree. I have a Ready Bed that I could take up with me so LO or James could sleep in that......

Shamu (who is feeling all :ellie: and :heartlipstick: now :cloud9: )
;-)

[silverpod]

Oh Shamu bless you for your offer. :flowers:

I suppose I am thinking with my head though, and we may need to buy a double buggy, so it's either a damsels meet or a double buggy! :laff: And I know I should choose the meet over and above everything, (marriage, mortgage etc) but it's also combined with knowing I will be quite pregnant.

I'll console myself with :choc:

SP :)

[sunshine]

Ooh I'd like to come along to this too! Only problem is its our wedding anniversary that weekend :( If OH flew off to Scotland with a bunch of his pals I would slice his balls off with a rusty pen-knife :shock:

Hmmm will have a think about it...maybe I could suggest we take the campervan up to Scotland for a week or two?

Sunshine69

[Jamtart]

hmmm I'm not sure I can go now at all... SP got me thinking about if I can fly too... I will be about 34 weeks :-(

[shamu]

Hmmm will have a think about it...maybe I could suggest we take the campervan up to Scotland for a week or two?

Sunshine69

Sounds like a fab idea. The highlands aren't really that far away and are soooo romantic ;-) And I'm sure your OH could find something to keep him busy in Edinburgh during the day eg the Whisky tour :D I'd offer to babysit so you could have a romantic evening out but apparently I'll have my hands full :laff: Not sure why????!!!

Shamu
;-)

[Skerry Berry]

Have been directed to this thread by Pikey. I would manage any of the dates. Can't wait to put faces to names :ellie:

Could someone tell me how I can access Damsel Mums?

[Skerry Berry]

Ignore that last question - I just saw the sticky at the top of the page :oops:

Come on people, check your diaries...where are the Aberdeen lot?!

I am officially declaring it the 22nd July BTW :ellie:

[noo noo]

Re the Aberdeen lot - Caker and BK are down at a wedding in Glasgow this weekend and Bookie is busy organising Lauras 1st birthday party for this afternoon. Don't think Magic has signed up over here as yet?

[noo noo]

Pikey - have you checked the thread on Handbag - there are some more interested peeps there.

[Pikeypants]

Thanks Noo- I have PM'd them all.

[noo noo]

:ellie: I am ridiculously excited :ellie: :ellie: :ellie: and have just written the confirmed date into my diary!!! :ellie:

[durhamlass]

will i be allowed to come and play too :yes:

[Pikeypants]

will i be allowed to come and play too :yes:

As long as there are no more friends having babies that you have to deliver in July :wik:

[donna-j]

I can do any of the dates. The proposed venue is just 10 minutes from my house. :ellie:

I'd offer to put someone up but we are having a loft conversion and walls knocked through in July/August so don't think the house will be that habitable. We are pretty much planning on moving out as it is.

[Pancake01]

Er, shall I book my flight then????

[Devil Girl]

hei :wave:

I thought that I would also post on here and say that I will be there :cheer2: :dancing: :witchcool:

[shamu]

:ellie: I am ridiculously excited :ellie: :ellie: :ellie: and have just written the confirmed date into my diary!!! :ellie:

Glad it's not just me NooNoo :D
It means I'll HAVE to get my backside in gear and sort out getting up to home (I think my parents are going to pick James up and DH and I are going to drive with madam :shock: ) But now I know I HAVE to be there by the 22nd I'd better start making arrangements :D :D :ellie:

Shamu
;-)

[Redsquare]

Nathan and I can come :ellie:

DH will come with us but won't do any of the meet things.

Is it def the 22nd as I want to book my flights early? Is there a list of hotels anywhere?

I've applied to join the damsels group but am waiting to be approved.

So, so excited!!!

[Pikeypants]

All the details are in the photos bit RS- So glad you can come too!

Dev, I haven't PM'd you as you already know the details! :wik:

Yup- go ahead & get booking. It is def 22nd. I am going to book my flight now (Sorry Durhamlass, thank you so much for the couch offer but it is actually cheaper to fly than to drive :shock: Will come & see you soon though Mrs :wik: )

[Pikeypants]

Can i get an idea of how many will be staying at the hotel? I can try to organise a group discount if there are enough of us.

[Pancake01]

I'd like to stay at the hotel. Will they be able to cater for so many with babies (ie cots)?

[Pikeypants]

Once I have an idea of how many want to stay, I will find that out! :wik:

[Pikeypants]

Right, so we now have:

Pikeypants
Jane
Mad Madam Mim
Noo Noo
JulesFH
Red Tiger
Shamu
Devil Girl
Adelelee
Skerry Berry
Spuggy
Pancake01
Durhamlass
Donna-j
Redsquare


hopefully Lewpy
& maybe, if she can con her DH: Sunshine69!

I can see at least 6 who will need to stay in the hotel (bring your monitors girls so we can have a drink in the bar!)

[Mad Madam Mim]

I think I might get OH to fetch Dylan and take him home than I can stay and have a drink with you. I can always get the train back or something.

[Pikeypants]

[Calamity]

[quote=Mad Madam Mim]Or crash with me or summink :wik: In a best buds kinda way you understand- no funny business 8)

Run, run godddamit run!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!

p.s. let me know the prices as I might stay over........... I need a lie in no matter how much it costs me!

[Redsquare]

I can see at least 6 who will need to stay in the hotel (bring your monitors girls so we can have a drink in the bar!)

I won't need a monitor....I'm bringing DH!!!

My memebership to the photo's is still pending so can't see the details of the hotel yet ie prices.

DH and I are making a long wekend of it so staying Fri-Mon.

[Pikeypants]

Ooh lovely RS- I nearly booked till Monday as the flight ties were more sensible but I thought I wuld be on my own! Not that you & DH would want me gooseberrying mind :wik:

[noo noo]

I'd stay in the hotel - will be bringing DH too (not to come to the meet bit - just for babysitting purposes!!) Depending on the timings we might stay both Friday & Saturday night. A cot would be useful but not essential as could bring our own travel cot and free up one for those fyling/training their way there.

[bluekat]

Can you add me to the list. I can make any weekend.

BKx

[bluekat]

Oops just realised the 22nd has been decided - fab - I can make that. Will see if DH wants to make a weekend of it....him being a smelly Weegie anyway... :laff: :laff: :laff: and :wave: to all you lovely ladeez from Glasgow - no offence meant :wik: :wik:

BKx

[RedTiger]

him being a smelly Weegie anyway...

:-( :spank: :fight:




















:laff: :booty: :boobies:

[Pikeypants]

:wave: Bluekat- gladly add you to the list :ellie:

Have you checked out the details in Damsels Mums photos?

[book_lover]

Ooooh me please! Have already informed DH that as the meet is Scotland this year, I will DEF be going (even if he does think I'm crazy :roll: ). Am wondering how I will do it though. Doubt DH would want to come, as I'm hoping for a drink in the bar in the evening after the ickle uns have gone to bed - I'll bring the monitor. Only a bit worried about the money side of things though. Don't think I can justify driving as there's only me (unless another Aberdeen peep wants to car share - although be warned I have never driven in a big, scary city before :laff: ).

Can't WAIT to see some of you again (Pikes, Dev...) and am optimistically looking forward to a grown up drinky poos with my lufferly Aberdeen chums who I have only ever done pre-school things with :laff: And can't WAIT to meet the rest of you :ellie:

xxx

[clowe74]

Well I definetly wont be able to make this one as we aree off on our jollies on the 1st August so will be counting the pennines and living on egg and chips by then :wik:

But wanted to say hope everyone has a good time and make sure lots of piccies are taken.

How does everyone feel about the next mega meet being newcastle as we have had south, middle and now scotland so it must be turn by now :wik:

[book_lover]

Aw, shame you can't make it Clowe, would have been excellent to meet you!

personally, I would LOVE it to be in Newcastle! I used to live in Durham and go shopping/clubbing in Newcastle. I briefly had a flat there too (Fenham I think it was called) and got myself a hip job in the Riverside Club, and a place at Art College there. I was all set....... then my A Level results came in and I had failed Art (even though based on the same work I was offered a place on a highly competitive course in a prestigious art college :roll: ). So my Dad decided I wasn't an artist and physically removed me, shipping me up to Scotland :-( My life has turned out well but I still have resentment in my heart about that......

Sorry, 2 glasses of wine and you get my life story :laff: But I have a special place in my heart for Newcastle, so would love an excuse to go back.

xxx

[RedTiger]

I think I could manage a Noocastle meet 8) Have been there a few times though only for the speedway so I don't really know it well and am prone to getting lost :oops:

[book_lover]

It rocks there Redtiger!

[book_lover]

i've just found that this thread exists, so could someone point me in the direction of the 'final decisions' as i dont have time to read the whole tread! all dates should be ok with me though, as fas as i know.

[Calamity]

Samba, have a look in Damsel Mums pics and the details are all in there chick

J.x

[noo noo]

Me & two little uns (with big appetites!!!) for the food please!

[Redsquare]

I'm coming!

[Samba]

thanks jane, will now look :smile:

[donna-j]

Me, me, me. We will be there with nobs on. Thomas will be just 11 months so will just eat wee bits of whatever I have.

What's the plan for at night? Will it be girly drinks or should I twist OH's arm to come along?

[book_lover]

I'm really hoping for girly drinks in the evening, once the ickle uns are in bed! Although sure your DH will be welcome - if he likes being surrounded by lots of women that is! might all get a bit pink for him!

xxx

[donna-j]

Probably better for me to take Mr T home, get him settled with daddy then come back into town myself. :ellie:

It's all a bit pie in the sky at the mo as we should be in the middle of building works, but the builders have buggered off on holiday for a month so we have no idea when they are going to start.

[Calamity]

I'd love to stay for drinks but I can't as my OH will be working in Aberdeen at that time. I'll stay for as long as I can then I'll have to head back to Glasgow to get Lorna to bed :hissyfit:

Oooh but I'll have an empty, anyone wanna join me :cheer2:

J.x

[Kerzen]

I'd like to come, can someone please pm me the place as I'm not a Damsels Mum, just a bog-standard damsel!

[Pikeypants]

I have PM'd you Kerzen... bog standard damsels are very welcome! :wink:

[RedTiger]

Oooh but I'll have an empty, anyone wanna join me :cheer2:

You've confused me - an empty what?

I'll be there - do we have to pay for the little uns too? Ryan hardly eats anything and usually shares mine when we eat out.

[Pancake01]

Maisie won't want any food either.

[Calamity]

You've confused me - an empty what?

An empty house but on second thoughts my OH will be at home so forget that idea!

If we have to pay for the little uns too then I guess I'd better pay for Lorna cos she's eating like a horse these days. Especially fruit salad and cucumber!!

J.x

[Pikeypants]

Just to let you know (spesh Bookie!) that I have left 2 messages with the hotel about the rooms but they haven't got back to me all week :rolleyes:

I left details in the messages BUT I haven't verbally confirmed it to anyone yet. As soon as I can get in touch with the silly mare I will let you know!

[book_lover]

tis cool Pikey, thanks for doing that! ps am liking your "life in smilies"! xxx

[noo noo]

Cheers! Likewise loveing your life in smilies!!!

[RedTiger]

Will need to start planning my journey :nod: it'll be here before we know it!

[Redsquare]

I still need to book the hotel :oops:

Can anyone PM me the hotel please? Have looked on the web and there's 3 of those hotels in Edinburgh....which one is it?

Getting excited now :ellie:

[book_lover]

Redsquare, we're waiting for the laydee to get back to Pikey. She's left a couple messages with them. I've tried to pay for my room too, but they won't let you until Pikes has booked the room officially. So don't worry, it's under control! (as long as you're on Pikey's list of peeps for the hotel)

xxx

[Pikeypants]

Just to let you know- I have booked the rooms & confirmed our names by email.

You can secure the room with a credit card or pay in advance- up to you, but please do one or the other!

Please call the tel number for the hotel & ask for Kirstie in Events. She is dealing with the booking & will sort you :wink:

Just to confirm- the following has been booked:

Pikey & Pancake- single rooms + cots
Noo Noo- Family room (waiting to hear how much it will be) Noo- can you bring your travel cot please as they only have 5 & you are the only one coming by car (i think) :grin:

Julesfh- double room + cot
Bookie & Bluekat- twin + 2 cots

Redsquare- I will post the hotel name & details in Damsels Mums photos. I will put the tel no there too.

The meal is also confirmed so I will be needing payment of £18 each by the end of June. I will PM my bank details to everyone nearer the time. As for children's meals- I would say pay for a childs meal if they are over 3 yrs old as a guideline- does that seem about right?

[book_lover]

Yay, thanks Pikey :ellie: can't wait now! Will phone up and pay for the room tomorrow. thanks hun!

xxx

[Honey Dew]

Hi guys! I've only just found this thread:doh:. Would I be allowed to join in??
If so, please could someone PM me details? Have also been looking at the secret location thread, but not had time to read it all with my 2 wee men racing around!
Thanks in advance!

[book_lover]

HOW BLOODY INFURIATING! I just phoned to try and pay (again) and didn't get Kirstie as she was away from her desk, but went through all this trying to figure out which was right booking (my fault as I didn't know Pikes surname) and eventually she said "oh you can't pay yet as the booking hasn't been confirmed by post). Argh! I told her that's what happened last time I phoned, and that is what Pikes had sorted out.... she just basically said there's no way any of us can pay or even confirm our rooms until she gets the paper form. Sorry to be a grump about this, I just want to get it paid before my sensible side stops me (as I can't really afford it).

xxx

[Pancake01]

I phoned and she said that I could leave my details and she would add them when the post confirmation came back. I too had difficulty as I didn't konw Pikey's name. It made for quite an interesting conversation :lol:

[book_lover]

so she didn't let you pay then?

xxx

[Pancake01]

No, but she let me confirm the room. I am not 100% convinced that this has been done properly, so will phone back in a week or so.

[book_lover]

Well, disregard my earlier grumpy as hell post about useless Apex. Kirstie is your girl - she knows what's going on :thumb: I have just paid :ellie: so am def. def. coming now (I was swithering as we're skint...). I just think you need to talk to the right person!

Well done everyone (spesh Pikes):clap:

I'm so excited! Just hope I get a chance to chat with everyone :ellie:

[bluekat]

woo hoo - can't wait to meet everyone.

BKx

[Pikeypants]

Just to let you all know, if you requre a childs meal- please add £9.00 to your payment to me. Also, if your DH is joining us for the meal, obviously double the payment!

I thank you :bow:

[Calamity]

Well I know Lorna won't eat enough to merit spending £9 so she can just tuck into my dinner if that's allowed??

J.x

[noo noo]

Well I know Lorna won't eat enough to merit spending £9 so she can just tuck into my dinner if that's allowed??

I think the agreement was that under 3's didn't pay for a seperate meal but that 3+ do.

Can't believe how close the meet is now!

Very, very excited!!:ellie:

Looking forward to hopefully having a chat with you this time Redsquare!

[donna-j]

Sorry for being so rubbish. Have had a problem with the bank after a hotel we stayed in at the weekend decided to hang onto my pre-authoristation charge rather than give it back :sigh: HBOS wouldn't transfer the money for me as the transatction was pending even though it wasn't IYSWIM.
Will put the cash in manually today.

[donna-j]

Ok, 'tis done. Will PM too.

[Mad Madam Mim]

oops forgot again - will get it done tonight x

[Hello Kitty]

Sorry have been away with work.
Will do tomorrow morning. Also tried to confirm the hotel over the phone but they did not have a clue what I was talking about :puzzled: :oops: :shock: Help!

[Pikeypants]

Ahhh- you need to ask for Kirstie in Events. She knows all about it! I will PM you her direct line.

I was wondering where you were!!! Welcome back sweetie- I missed your sparkling wit 8) :tongue:

[Pancake01]
