Think of me on a 10 and a half hour shift whilst you're all enjoying yourself knitting. *Goes off in a sulk*

Aargh, now I have four social events I could attend! Why do they all happen at once, instead of being decently spread out? :)

I was all excited there for a minute and about to write the date in my diary - but then I remembered I'm in Newcastle for work that day and won't get back til 8 ish. Boo!!!:rant:

But there's always a lock in........

Can you add my name please Jill? (Builder's tea, white, no sugar) It's possible that by then I may have remembered what it was that I was so desperate to buy. There again, maybe not.

Looking forward to it

I would love to be there too!

Thank you to whoever did it for the sticky.

If your son tips his Vimto into your sock in progress it goes sticky and it doesn't half mess up the tension.

No problems - I meant to do it a bit back but forgot:roll: Please send me a pm if you see anything that needs doing that Ive missed:)

Ooops about the vimto - I can see that being a problem!

ooh I might try to make it to this one!

What time do you all usually get thrown out, I mean, what time does it end ;)

'sup to Jill, you have to remember - she's in charge :twisted:

Its normally 7 to 9pm ish

Since when has anybody left at 9????? :)

I try to because some of us need our beauty sleep.

well i'd have to leave earlier than that,

I'll turn into a pumkin otherwise.

Ooooh, I should be able to make this one!

Boo, I can't come :(. My babysitters have selfishly ;) decided to go away tonight, so I have nobody to look after little one till DH comes home. Have fun.

Now I'm torn here between saying, come along and bring child or don't come and I'll get the biggest coffee cup :suspect: you know what I mean doodle :huh:

Don't worry, I have my small cup to bring just in case I do come. Or maybe I should just bring a bucket :hihi: and then I have biggest cup, hmm. Tempting, but my bucket has been used to wash the floor and is a bit mucky, will have to stick to the small cup :D

So, war is declared is it :twisted: Be afraid....... :evil:

I'm coming too! But have an urgent crochet thing to do, so may be in a corner with burning fingers and swearing quietly for the evening. I'll understand if you all have to back quietly away.

Incidentally, crocheting a dress from 4-ply is not the cleverest thing in the world for mental health.

So, war is declared is it :twisted: Be afraid....... :evil:

Hmm, I don't like war, I'll bring a thimble ;)

Hmm, I don't like war, I'll bring a thimble ;)

Erhum...... I have a Barbie cup you could borrow from child number two :nod:

Sorry but i'm not going to be able to make it, once again :(

Just to say thank you to Jill for hosting the event again.

Had a nice evening, enjoyed nattering.

Thanks Jill. Next time will someone remind me not to sit in the middle - I kept switching from listening to the conversation to my left to the one to my right and it made for a very strange evening. You would not believe how fast these conversations change subject, I just couldn't keep up.

I know what you mean, W4B! I spent most of the evening feeling confused by all the conversations going on, and possibly looking either vacant or confused... no change from normal there then!

On the plus side, I did nearly finish a second sock, just the toe shaping now.

Thank you, once again, to the lovely Jill.

Thank you Jill for letting us loose in your smashing shop! I had a lovely evening, picking up toe tips from w4b (glad I didn't just wade in with the scissors now...) and chatting in general. Lovely cup of coffee I may add - probably the best yet (didn't like to complain all the other times.....) Till next time then :D

Thanks for last night Jill. A great evening, as ever.:)

(Yes, I know there were more than three of us but I'm trying to look as if I remember my O level English Lit, the Scottish play and all that)

Are we still the last Wednesday in the month or are we now the first Wednesday in the month? I have to book my pass outs well in advance as there's a potential conflict with meetings of the Chesterfield Canal Trust. I have priority as I knit all the socks in this house (and I don't get put much) but I still need to book early.

Perhaps we can leave the meet week to our esteemed Group Leaders to sort out! It was moved to accomodate the John Lewis last Wednesday in the month meeting although I'm not sure this meet has too much of an impact on it as it runs earlier (5 - 7 p.m. or something similar?) with the exception of Knitbird's availability to join this meet. I really don't mind when it is but maybe we should do a straw poll to see how this change may affect the ability to attend.

Thank you Wheezy. Master of the backhanded compliment.......:D

I am happy to go with whatever most people want to be honest - as Jill said the main reason for the swap was to allow people to go to the JLP meet aswell should they want to but if its not an issue thats OK. Just shout out what you would prefer - I do not want to make the decision because whatever is decided will surely upset someone and I just cant do that sort of thing right now:(! I am unlikely to be able to make a meet at the end of April or May though due to lone parenting duties - but dont let that sway your opinion ...not that it will Im sure:)

What about meeting in the middle Wednesday? Have a fresh start?

No - there a decision:)

What? :huh:

What? :huh:

No the middle Wednesday was not an option:) Its the first one or last one of the month!

Why is that? I cannot recall a reason for not having the middle Wednesday. Please remind me of the details of lisaH one :suspect:

A comment was made for a GL to make a decision - I said that I didnt think a middle Wednesday was not good idea mainly because either the first or last in the month would be easier to remember...does that satisfy you?

Now why dont we just go back to last Wednesday in the month (unless Jill or whoever is hosting cant do one month for whatever reason) - that worked before and everyone knew where they were! I suggested a change before as people appeared to be complaining that there were 2 meets on the same night and I wanted to try and make sure that people could go to both if they wanted to - I shan't do that again! :suspect:

OK - I shall now take it that the meet is back on the last Wednesday of the month.
Done. Sorted.
See you on the 30th April....????????
(I actually meant that perhaps we could have another vote on it LisaH, not burden you with the decision making. I don't think I made that very clear though!)

After the comment was made for a GL to make the decision, you then said to shout up on any suggestions. I suggested something in the middle - I shan't be doing that again! :suspect:

I think the GL's are here to make sure we behave and follow the rules! I guess that if they were making all the decisions we'd be moaning about them making all the decisions :D
So, I have made the decision :hihi::hihi::hihi: Last Wednesday of the month. Topic closed. Thankyou and goodnight:wave::D

thanks jill, for solving the problems, and the wrangling about which day it is to be.

I think it's only fair that you should be part of the decision making process, particularly as it's your hospitality that provides us with the aladdins cave venue for the meet.

We do appreciate you opening the shop for us, and hosting it all. Without you we'd not be able to have the wednesday night meetings. Thanks.

I've missed the last couple of meets, and I'm really going to try to get to this one - looking forward to the 30th!
