MiniK8e’s Coming to Palmy in September

As above, who wants to meet up? Pretty sure that she can give you the dates, sometime over the 18th/19th/20th Sept I think (yep we still don't have dates down here and we are hosting!) ?

Which means that Saturday morning is out then cos you have to go to the actual conference aye? lol, man I'm glad I don't actually work there and have to sit through that!

Lol you get the p*ss up and the accom as long as you go to the conference in the morning on the day of the p*ss up, and there is a breakfast provided the next morning. They hand out service awards etc at the drinks too, DH is coming up 8 years, we are hanging in for 10 year, 4 weeks paid leave in cash or stored for holidays... hmmm cash please!

At least that was the rules last time DH decided to take me along lol.

Yep 4 weeks nice aye! Hubby does (atm) 86hrs a fortnight, and he's on Spec 3, so it'll be nice, although payrises in august plus there will be another 2 in there and he's going for nightfill super somewhere in there, so come 10yr it'll be a nice payout lol.

At least it's subsidised that's a plus! We didn't go last year, we went the year before though, apparantly last year was really good, and they provided room service breakfast instead, and a better motel/hotel thing, so I'm hoping they do the same this year, it might be a rather late night tho, and I have to go home to the kids early the next day for the babysitter lol.

Kate I might have to do a special trip up to palmy kill two birds with 1 stone!

its a couple of hours drive but I've been meaning to get up there to meet some palmy girls anyways... may just save up and stay the night up there for a bit of a break

I'd love to come, will be only a few weeks before I leave for Akl. Let us know how you get on with your WH schedule and we'll organise something.

Ok, so the conference session is at 1pm and dinner/drinks/dance is 6.30pm - both on Saturday....so Friday sounds good!!

It's kind of funny thinking about actually meeting some people I have known since NZWP days...!! I have seen Janine before...I was in Palmy a year or so ago for a work thing, and went to Pak n Save and her, Mike and the girls were doing their grocery shopping...I recognised her (how could you not recognise Ayja and Paris!!) and she recognised me, but it wasn't till afterwards when we talked on here that we realised just who it was LOL

No faaaaiiiir!!!!! I just found this thread (yeah I know I already knew you were coming down lol) but NO FAIR!!!!! Why does it have to be the weekend I'm going away?? (yep I've had a whinge about that too lol) Just as long as y'all know you're gonna miss me coz firstly I'm cool and secondly I'm sending miss me vibes through the airwaves to your brains I'm special that way (too bahahahaha)...
