So ideas?, whos keen? ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

As an idea last night we had a 50's theme - think Grease. We dressed up in the theme and watched Grease and then went into town to dance. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

When would it be?
I'm busy every weekend until after 15 March. Not doing anything for a hens night though so maybe a night dancing could be a bit of fun, i'd have to stay sober so I can get home. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">   [/url] Angel June 2012 |

I'm out, like I said today on msn, it's not my thing anymore.. Palmy clubs suck, that includes the cobb lol
And I can sympathise with Teresa, it does suck being around people who are getting drunk/are drunk when you aren't drinking |

Teresa, I don't drink either, as i said above, i have half a glass of wine and i'm feeling really dodgy, however for me i do know that i reallllly need a good night out with a group of people who are out to have fun. Not about drinking, just regaining a bit of me-time. I think i've kinda lost myself somewhere out there.
lol maybe we could think of something crazy that doesn't necessarily have to mean drinking like all going out and doing paintball or something else out of the norm - now THAT is fun (and just slightly painful). ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

Taxi's from Feilding are expensive Teresa.
Main reason I'm not having a hens night Ann is cause I feel like a big nana when I go out in Palmy as its all 18yr old students. My bridal party isn't arriving until the day before and consists of my 11yr old niece who would love to go dancing and can't and my MOH who has an 8yr old and a 10 month old daughter and probably needs a night out, but doesn't often get one. There's always Daytona!! ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow"> [/url] Angel June 2012 |

Paintball, Janine, are you mad????!!! 
Well, you're all not nanas cause my 'thing' is coffee & dessert! But maybe that's an option for sometime since lots of you don't feel like you 'fit' with the youngies anymore (and yea I know, I'm one of the youngest of us) ------------- |

Sounds like a bit of me, anyone know of somewhere that does nice coffee maybe with a bit of liquor added and scrummy cake preferably the chocolate variety. Can always progress to dancing afterwards if people want to, whats Highflyers like these days? Does nictoddie still work at Lone Star? ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow"> [/url] Angel June 2012 |

Yay Liz I knew there would be someone up for a good night out with me Flyers on Saturday night sucked. Seriously I don't know why we left the Cobb it was the best music (the stuff you can dance and sing too) and I had the best time there. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

aw Teresa, Paintball is a blast, they show you what you need to know, put you in overalls and safety gear in 2 different teams and you basically try to capture the flag in the middle of the arena (which is full of lots of things to hide behind) and get it to the opposite corner without being shot. at the end they have all in and basically have last person standing wins. I wasn't too fussed about it when first suggested, but went along for mikes work do once just for something to do and had an absolute blast running about and hiding etc, great exercise and great stress relief. lol.
It only hurt when my darling man decided that since i was one of the last left in the last-man-standing round that he knew where i was so came up and ran around behind me and opened fire on my back at a little too close range. I had a few million bruises. He had a few days of me being a grump at him. lol ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

I have wanted to do paintball for years and none of my mates have ever wanted to..... come on guys, lets get grubby and shoot the snot out of each-other!!! Failing that, count me in for dessert or a boogie... I'm no night owl these days but can at least make the most of the start of the evening, eh. And hey, if people do decide to hit the town and shake their groove thang's, what say we choose a...erm... a nana-friendly bar!! Ha ha. But really - I know I'm too old now for the bars of my youth. Or maybe that's just me. ------------- Andie |

Andie the only place worth going to, to dance is the Cobb. The rest of them sucked that we went to (flyers, detroit). ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

| we could go to The Office first - i have a pretty good idea that we could perhaps get discount....and then go out to the Cobb. i agree highflyers is now full of young drunk girls (it always was, just i was one of them so didn't notice as much) |
