It was so Yummy last time...I'll say a tenative Yes as the MIL should still be hanging around so I'll have a babysitter for a couple of hours between feeds (not that I'd leave my soon to be two with her for much more than that!)
Still no action happening yet!

YAY, I'm in

As for nights that suit me, well from memory later in the week suited some of our mums better, so maybe a Thursday (I'll wag Pilates) or Friday?? I know there are a few mums who would LOVE to be able to come along but have work etc on other nights. As for a date, pick one and I'm in!
Cheers

I'd like to say yes, but can't commit to anything from this point on due to possibility of being in screaming agony on the night. Unless one of you volunteers to give birth on my behalf. Will wait til the last minute and make a decision, if that's OK.....

Sounds yummy, I'll have to say a tentative yes at this stage due to DH coming and going out of the state and country for the next month or so.

OK, i haven't read back through the thread, but a Friday night or a Monday night would be best for me - are there any nights he's not open?
and - a bit cheeky i know - but can you just check that he makes the dips fresh each day (or at least just the day before)? i LOVE dips but being pg i'm a bit wary of any that have been sitting in the fridge for long...
let's make it mid september...
Susana
24/08/2005, 04:39 PM
Alan makes all the food fresh, including the dips on premises. Will confirm the dips being made on the day with him when I make the booking.
Monday would be better for him as Friday & Sat nights are always really busy. So is everyone happy with a Monday night then?
