Ok, I think it's time to start planning another dinner original.gif

I have heard very good things about Taj Agra Indian restaurant in Weston. I thought given the last dinner was North Side we could have this dinner south side original.gif

OK, so how does a Wednesday or Thursday night the week of the 19th/20th October or 26th/27th suit everyone?

I know that for some of our working mums mid - late week is better suited for them.

OK, so whose in, and when suits best? original.gif

Hi Mel,

Indian sounds good, I think I can make all those dates, although would prefer not to have the 27th. Going away the next day and will be panic packing wink.gif

Have you got an address for the place?

(love that new pic of Ayden BTW)


Cheers,

Nicola

Hi Mel,
I am in but it will depend on what Jon is working as I don't have his shifts yet.
2bluepeas
LOL, seeing as I live across the car park from there I guess I have no excuse!!!

any night is fine by me



Mel_Mac
LOL Claire, no you don't wink.gif

OK, well how about we work on the week of the 19th/20th unless that really does not suit some.

Vanessa - of course newbies are welcome. Always original.gif Anyone is. Only thing is that generally no one has brought DH's as it's "mum's night out" so he is welcome to come but may feel a bit odd being amongst 15 or so rowdy women original.gif

The address is 21 Brierly Street in Weston. I have been informed that they are BYO and their is a botte shop just across the road.

How about we say for 6.30 - 7.00pm start.

Nicola - Thanks original.gif Taken this past weekend at our coast holiday - his first time at the beach original.gif

Cheers original.gif

What a great suggestion for a dinner Mel. wink.gif

Of course count me in as I'm only five minutes down the road. The 19th or 20th is fine by me, as is either of the dates the following week.

Count me in. The 20th is better for me but if the 19th is better for most, I will try to come.



Thanks

I would love to come but this morning sickness I am having is more like afternoon/evening sickness so I will just have to see how I feel on the day. It would be a shame to miss out on my favourite food when I live just down the road.

I'll have a chat with DH - I seem to have a lot of stuff on this month already!

The 20th sounds good to me. And a 6:30pm start would be good too. Thanks for organising this Mel.

Anyone else joining us?

20th is good for me too, I will probably be bringing up the rear at 7.00pm though, depending on where DH is working that day.
froonie
Unfortunately I won't be able to make this dinner;
I'll be away with 100 Year 11 girls....
I know where I'd rather be!!!
alex original.gif
Janie L
The 20th is great by me.

Helen will you be walking or driving or taxiing? I think I shall be having a few drinks so I might walk and get a taxi back. Would you like to share a fare? Seeing as we are "within yahooing distance"

Jane

ckrmum
DH will be dropping me off (he doesn't know this yet though, lol) and I was planning on making my own way home so sharing a taxi might definitely be on the cards. original.gif
Mum to AJ
Sorry, Cant make this one
(unless Ewans surgery is postponed)...think I'd bad mum if I got home from hospital and left an unsettled bub with DH (but then again my view on that change depending on how awful our overnight hospital stay is).

can i be a tentative maybe? it's just that i'm so exhausted at night that i'm usually in bed not long after 8pm so i'll probably wait til the day to decide, if that's ok?

anyone willing to give a mayber a lift?

ckrmum
Bump! original.gif
Bellamy
I'd love to but I don't think I can afford it. sad.gif
I've got Ollie's birthday this week and Anthony's next week, so I don't see it happening. Maybe next time. (and definately next year when I have an income. WHOOPPEEEEE!)

i dont' think i'll make it - but is there anyone from west belconnen way (or who goes to belconnen mall during the week) who'd give some $$ to rohan and bring some books back for me?
joandemily
Is it too late to join in? I'd love to come along, I haven't been able to make it to anything else.

Jo
melmonique
Okay can I have the details of dinner, time it starts and the address. Thanks
ms_jam
I don't think it would be a good idea if I came as the nausea is just too awful in the evening. I am having a scan late Thursday so I am sure I will just want to come home and crash. Have been going to bed at 8.30pm so I wouldn't be much company falling asleep at the table LOL. I am sure you all will have a lovely evening and I hope I can make it to another Indian Dinner when I am over this m/s.

Sorry AGAIN - Erindale College cancelled the Wednesday pilates class and moved it to Thursdays, so I'll be 'strengthening my inner core' while you're tucking into yummy Indian food. Pah!
I'll try and console myself that I'll be improving my waistline, but it's cold comfort... Tounge1.gif

Dino-Mite
Guys, I probably won't be able to make it either. We have a work function tomorrow and I need to get a lot of stuff done at the shops tomorrow night that I won't be able to get done on the weekend.

Pommie
I'm still on! Don't know if I'll be able to hold a decent convo though...sooo tired!!! But I'm looking forward to meeting some virtual moms in real life original.gif

Sorry Karen, can't taxi you, I'm South...

Alex.
Lolabyte
I'm so with you there Alex, 3 1/2 hours sleep last night due to my little darling. Perhaps we can crash in the corner and snooze when no on is looking...lol
Mel_Mac
Guys,

I am so sorry but I am going to pike on tonight. Been a shocker of a day! Started with me waking with a migraine at 3am. Tim had to take our little man to get his 6 month needles without me as I was feeling so unwell and of course then Ayden has been one grizzly boy all day. So I to am absolutely wrecked!

BUM!

Please enjoy good food, drink and company for me ok original.gif

Booking is under MEL and I booked for 12 just in case!

Alex - I will give yoy a call tommorrow ok. Sorry I couldn't today sad.gif

Helen and Jane - enjoy the WELL deserved drinks guys original.gif

Thanks for organising Mel, and hope that you are better soon (and Ayden too).

Off to sleep off that banquet now wink.gif

Alex.
ckrmum
No Alex, you aren't the only one still standing AKA surfing EB, lol. original.gif

Thanks for organising dinner Mel. Sorry that you weren't able to make it ... hope you are feeling better really soon.

Thanks for a great night ladies. Company was fun and the food was good. Must do it again soon me thinks.

Okay, DH calls so I best head off to bed .......

Cheers and good night,

Thanks girls, I had a lovely time last night, was nice to put some more faces to names and the food was great.

Thanks for organising this dinner Mel, sorry you couldn't make it and I hope you're feeling a little better today.
Janie L
Hey you guys, feeling a bit seedy today!

I had a great night.

Helen, DH insisted that I had a berroca before going to bed!

Will refused his EBM so I had to BF rather drunkenly before crashing.

Lets do it again!

xxx Jane

Mel_Mac
I am so glad to hear you guys enjoyed yourselves original.gif Also glad to hear that some good food, wine and company was enjoyed by all!

Sorry again I couldn't make it. Felt better for a night in though original.gif

What does everyone think about the idea of my organising a Christmas party? (Roh, when do you leave?) I was actually thinking od scoping out some of the fancier buffet arrangements at Rydges, Crown Plaza, Hyatt etc? If I found some prices and let everyone know who would be interested in this idea?

I'll post this in another thread also so that everyone can see original.gif
