Club VR4 widows pre-christmas meet

[Alex]

We CVR4 widows who attended Jap Show this weekend thought it was about time we organised our own meet. Thoughts at this stage are Christmas shopping at the Bull Ring, Birmingham. Followed by meal and drinks either out, or back at Vicky's (our resident catering expert). Nick will be banished for the weekend (sorry Nick), and we can stay over at Vicky's (yet again many thanks).

These are suggestions open to debate, but we thought November might be a good time. My calendar for November is currently clear, so if people can say when they would be available we can come up with some possible dates.

PLEASE TELL YOUR PARTNERS ABOUT THIS EVENT IF THEY DON'T ACCESS THE FORUMS. ALL VR4 WIDOWS WOULD BE MORE THAN WELCOME!

Should be a blast, hope all you girls can come :party3: /Poms :chugchug: :beerchug: /grouphug :party: :2thumbsup /thankyou

[WildCards]

ooh, crikey. i'd better start saving. i'll let 'er know.

[Kieran]

:speechles


/Cue frantic sounds of funds being transferred, credit/debit cards being hidden, online banking passwords being changed and chequebooks being burned...

[Cleaning Lady]

Sounds good to me, I have actually just been to Birmingahm Bull Ring today with some friends. Great time had and we went to Hard Rock Cafe which was nice, never been before. If still in current job will be free every other weekend although could easily book day off if need be...

[Lillywotsername]

I am there!!!!! just give us the word and we will be down. At this moment in time I am free all month so will go with the flow as to dates.

[Physician]

I think this is a great idea for you ladies ......... who have to put up with our 'hobby' non-stop.

Having said that ....... those of you whom I've met are very supportive of our addiction. :2thumbsup

[Alex]

Interested list so far:

1. Alex
2. Vicky
3. Lorraine
4. Kate

C'mon girls - all welcome!!

It's me who has to ask to use the VR4 mate - she has it on a daily basis !

[Lillywotsername]

Shut up hubby!!!!!
Besides whilst we are still very much a small number we have less clout. Wait till there is more of us and can really make your life HELL!!!!!!:evilgrin:

[Alex]

I don't think Shaz will travel all that way tbh.

I quite understand that. It's just a suggestion for a first CVR4 widows meet - open to suggestions for future meets if other CVR4 widows are interested. :)

[Little Miss Road Rage]

Sounds good but I wouldn't be able to make it that far and he'd be without the Leggie and car less if I went lol

[Vicky Mann]

:2thumbsup :chugchug: :5shots:

Free all month at the moment, may have something on the 18th & 19th but not definite yet.

[Lillywotsername]

Thats a shame, but totally understandable. Hopefully we can all get together somewhere more central next year. :2thumbsup

[RED]

I might be ready for a bit of adult companionship by then:baby: :2thumbsup I've got my mum's 60th to sort out in November but I'm sure I can get away for some shopping - I'd better get Marcus to think about putting up my house keeping money:thinking:

Fantastic....hope to see you there:2thumbsup

[WildCards]

So what are we fellas going to do whilst they're shopping? If we're in the house by then you're all welcome to stay at mine, curry and a few beers if you please?

[Kieran]

I was wondering that, but it's too far in the future for me to have any idea what I'll be on with... I'm not that organised!!

[WildCards]

Theres no guarantee i'll have anywhere for people to stop mate, I was just throwing it up for discussion really. As you say we'll see nearer the time.

[richy rich]

you may be able to twist my arm

[Alex]

Oi!!/Hijack

Get your own thread! Humph /Grrr





No seriously - arrange something by all means, but give us a chance to sort a date first :thinking: :)

[richy rich]

:curtain: sorry alex

[Alex]

Apology accepted Richie :)

[WildCards]

Keep your wig on! /Grrr :iloveyou:

You know us blokes are completely dependant on you lovely ladies for your organisational skills. When you've got a date, we'll have a date, capiche

[Alex]

Ok, before Wildcards busts something....../pan

How's about the 11th and 12th of November?

Kate, do you know which weekends you are working in November? As the only dates ruled out so far are the 18th and 19th, we could do either 4th and 5th or 25th and 26th if you are working on the 11th and 12th.

[Nick Mann]

We have just received an invitation - 11th/12th is no good!!

[WildCards]

Ok, before Wildcards busts something....../pan

What, like a button on my trousers?... nice to know you care Alex :iloveyou:

Kates gassing at the minute, i'll get her to respond when she's finished.






















Probably next week /pan

[WildCards]

Kate is free 11th/12th or 25th/26th November.


At the moment, she might be changing shift though /pan
Best thing to do, set a date and Kate can always arrange holiday or swap a shift for that weekend if need be.

[Alex]

So, by a process of elimination....

24th and 25th November???

[WildCards]

So, by a process of elimination....

24th and 25th November???


If poss, but given the amount of time to pass i'm sure Kate can sort something out to make any weekend you choose. Don't be ruled by one person, go with the flow and we'll fit around it. It's cool.

[Lillywotsername]

24th and 25th November???

Sounds good to me Guys.............

mind you any time is good time when it comes to crimbo shopping:evilgrin: :evilgrin:

I usually start mine in August so will have to be good and save my pennies for our spree.

Also as it will be the end of the month, I will be able to give you all your crimbo cards and not feel too bad at giving them too early ( again normally have them wrote by october) :iloveyou: :iloveyou:

[Vicky Mann]

24th and 25th November???

Fine by me!!

Wahey lets spend!!!!/yes

[Mrs BDA]

Having finally worked out how to get my own profile, can I put my name down for this one please?

Subject obviously to baby sitting, childhood illnesses and broken bones (although the rate we're going there won't be much left by November :baby: !!)

[richy rich]

glad to see you are going Mrs BDA:2thumbsup

1. Vicky
2. Alex
3. Lillywotsername (Lorraine)
4. Cleaning Lady (Kate)
5. Red (Jane)
6. Mrs BDA (Helen)

Have I missed anyone?

[Lillywotsername]

Can I stick Jessica down as a definate, if no body objects to her coming. She has caught wind of a shopping spree and got dead excited.

Please speak out though if you would rather it be only grown ups, I will not be offended.

[Alex]

Bump!

Any more interest?

[tig202]

Missus Tig (Lisa) says she likes the idea so please count her in:2thumbsup

Sorry you had to pull out mate but health and family commitments must take priority. Hope you get fit soon and we will have to all catch up again next year.

[Alex]

Been talking to Vicky and Lilly about this so thought I'd give it another bump

As far as I am aware, this is where we've got to:

Sat 25th Nov shopping at Bull ring, stop at Vicky's, and then home at some point on Sun 26th Nov.

1. Vicky
2. Alex
3. Lillywotsername (Lorraine)
4. Jessica (mini Lilly)
4. Cleaning Lady (Kate)
5. Lisa (Mrs Tig202)
6. Mrs BDA (Helen)?

Anyone else who's interested would be more than welcome. Also any other suggestions / thought?

Oh, and now might be a good time for you blokes to figure something out if you want to get together that weekend.

Hopfully wrd should have a 2 post lift in by then so maybe a unseal of car weekend or something along those lines... or maybe just car tinkering

not a lot of space at mine but any anybody is welcome to crash at mine. mainly floor space. (IE nick as you are being evicted for the weekend)

[Mrs BDA]

Having spent the day stopping my little one joining in the gearbox removal and attempted leg amputation (a couple of hours my a***), this will be my payback. Plus I've passed up a very tempting swimming competition - you can never have enough plastic trophies you know!!!!

Just let me know where and when............:givemebee

Helen

[Lillywotsername]

Nice one helen.... :thumbsup:

[Alex]

Excellent news! Really glad you can still come Helen.

I think the idea is that we either meet at Vicky's and head to the bull ring from there, or meet at the bull ring. As I don't drive I will probably be getting the train to Birmingham - I assume the station is not too far from the bull ring??

Might have to get someone to take pity on me though and let me store my bags in their car.....

Getting really excited now. It's going to be great.

[Nick Mann]

I think it might take as much as 3 minutes to walk from New Street Station to the Bull Ring.
Up to the station from the platform, then up the escalators to the shopping centre above, then turn right and walk to the Bull Ring!

oky doky do you want to do it

[WildCards]

I was going to suggest beer and curry around our new house if we've moved by then, but a tinkering weekend in Stoke is just as good, and we can still do beer and curry :thumbsup:

I'm in, any chance of a bed/floor space to kip?

no prob steve

[Alex]

Excellent!

Have just spoken to Lilly on the phone, and have got it all arranged....

K, I'll get the train to Nottm on the Friday night after work. You meet me at the station, and we'll drive to Richy and Lorraine's. You spend the weekend with Richy and the other lads - me and Lilly will spend the weekend at Vicky's. Then on Sunday, Lilly and I'll drive back to Stoke, and you and I come home.

See simple.

(And before anyone asks, yes we do talk at home, but this way I've it down in writing!)

[Kieran]

oky doky do you want to do it

For sure - All done! :)

Just to clarify....

I meant Sat 25th and Sun 26th November :oops:

Have edited my post above - hope I've not confused anybody

[Lillywotsername]

I'm in, any chance of a bed/floor space to kip?

With Jessica coming away with me and if Richard has Adam in with him, technically we have 2 single beds up for grabs and a double air bed in the front room if anyone wants it.

Will you be bringing the boys Steve? If so maybe you could have 1 of the kids rooms... you in the bed and we have spare mattresses that the boys could top and tail on if you want.

I will be leaving a curry for the men but as for when it will be eaten don't rightly know:2thumbsup

[WildCards]

No, i'll get the boys shipped off to the parents for the weekend. Curry can be eaten morning, noon and night.

[richy rich]

Curry can be eaten morning, noon and night.
yep hot or cold

[Kieran]

Curry can be eaten morning, noon and night.

Ding! Correct Answer!!

Ooooh, I'm all lookin' forward to this now!

Oh, arse - Sorry ladies! /Hijack

[Alex]

Oi you lot, get back to your own thread /pan /pan

[Lillywotsername]

Just to bump this one back up......
Also is there any more widows wanting to join us on the 25th of this month?

[Alex]

Hey Lilly, great minds think alike - I was going to bump this today.

Getting close now - I can feel Kieran's credit card raring to go :)

[Kieran]

You've made a slight typo my dear - here, let me help you! /pan

Jesus, i'm half hoping I don't get an insurance payout before you lot land on Birmingham. Either that, or I spend it all before hand. Fella's how do you feel helping me spend a wodge of cash on motorsport parts?

:2thumbsup

[Alex]

Ok, the plan so far...

Lorraine, Jess and I are leaving Lorraine and Richy's on Friday night, leaving the blokes to do whatever they're planning.

Vicky has offered to pick people up from redditch train station on friday night, or saturday morning, or people can meet us at the bull ring whatever time suits on saturday.

Saturday night, back to Vicky's for a takeaway and a few bottles.

Sunday morning cooked breakfast, and home at some point.


That's as far as I've got. No times as of yet till I know more what people are planning.

All still welcome if any widows want to add their names.

[Lillywotsername]

Just giving this thread a bump.....

Can we please have a final show of hands as to who is coming. Lisa, Helen..... Are you both still able to come?
It's next weekend Girls :bananadan /Banana /Poms :5shots: :5shots: and I think it would be nice if we could give Vicky some definite numbers as to who is coming.

Please post asap if you are coming...... Tig & BDA.... please give your wives the message about this. Thanks a lot.:2thumbsup :2thumbsup :2thumbsup :2thumbsup

[WildCards]

I'm still on for it, as is Kate. Alex, have you got room for one more, as kate will more than likely be coming with me to Richy & Lorrs on friday night?

[Lillywotsername]

Thats fine mate..... I am driving down so I am sure I can get Kate in with us. Its not going to be the cumfyist of rides as taking my spazcort but it will be great to have Kate join us.

Will be leaving mine at 8ish if thats ok as I am working Friday and don't get home till 7ish, but Richy will be here if you get here before me. Just kick him off the sofa to make you both a coffee and will see you when I get home.

I will be making you all a curry for Friday night so don't worry about eating before you leave:2thumbsup

[Mrs BDA]

I'm still in!!! Although Toby currently has a lovely dose of gastroenteritis............. :sick: :baby:

Can't do Friday night though and a bit of a coward about driving into Birmingham on a Saturday close to Christmas so, if someone could give me some idea of what time you will be leaving Vicky's on Saturday morning, I would like to meet you there and scrounge a lift (or whatever the plan is). /grouphug

Great news Helen:2thumbsup :2thumbsup If you send either myself or Alex your telephone number then we can give you a ring when we have a conclusive time. It will be no problem at all picking you up from a station or something.

Hope Toby gets well soon and will see you next weekend:2thumbsup

[Alex]

Not sure what time we'll be leaving chez Mann, but I suspect if you get there by about 10am you could scrounge breakfast. If you PM me your mobile number, I'll let you know as things get sorted.

Hope Toby gets better soon.

Looking forward to seeing you.

[Vicky Mann]

Thought it was most probably time I spoke up.

Really looking forward to seeing you all! /Poms

If we can confirm exactly how many of you will be coming I can work out where I'm going to put you all and if I need to ask for anyone to bring some extra bedding. As it stands everyone will have a bed (of some description, Lilly & Jess do you mind sharing?) and all you need to bring is yourselves and a credit card or two!

Will have meal ready for those arriving on Friday night (I have remembered Jess is a veggie, does anyone else have any weird eating habits?). Helen, I'm not sure what time we'll be leaving on Saturday morning. I have already explained to Alex I'm going to have to abandon you all for a couple of hours (for a memorial service thing starting at 11) so it may have to be a little earlier than 10, is 9:30 okay?

Anyone want directions? Let me know and I'll PM you some. Anyone wanting to get a train again let me know and I'll sort out meeting you. Can't think of anything else at the moment except see you next weekend /Banana /Banana :beerchug: /Banana /Banana

Thanks for that Vicky.... Don't worry about Jessica for Friday night she will eat before she leaves as I am hoping that she will be going to bed not long after we arrive at yours. She will be tired as she plays net ball after school and PE in school on a friday:zzz:

Don't know what time we will get to yours but will give you a ring on the way or as we are leaving to give you some idea.

I will need destructions on how to get to yours or a post code so I can print them off.

See you next Friday.... Can't wait:2thumbsup /Poms /Poms /Poms /Poms /Poms

Technically not joining them as I'll be there in a professional capacity.

I've got my thong, baby oil and whipped cream all ready - I just need some darts and a few balloons for my finale and we're all set.

You'd better take a bucket of cold water or two, Brunty - If Heath's 40th is anything to go by, the Widows have a voracious sexual appetite after a couple of glasses of wine and they'll go for anything roughly male with a pulse!/help

You basket..... just for that I will encourage her to spend even more of your hard earned cash. If not I can always book one less place on the paintballing:scholar: :iloveyou:

Ayeup! We put dibs on this weekend first. Just cos you boys have decided you can't cope on your own for the weekend shouldn't mean that you get to spend the cash instead of us! /Grrr

Besides, if you are anything like K, Kate will have to be spending money because she'll end up doing all your Christmas shopping for you /pan

[Alex]

Not that I'm excited about this or anything, but......


3 days to go!

[Nick Mann]

Following a bus into Brum this morning, we spotted an advert on it's rear end about Santas Grotto in the Pallesades. (One of the smaller shopping centres, just above New Street Station.) Guess when it opens? :evilgrin: Vicky was wondering if 5 full grown adults would be allowed in with Jess to sit on Santas knee!!! /help Do you think I should place an anonymous phone call? :thinking:

[Lillywotsername]

Vicky was wondering if 5 full grown adults would be allowed in with Jess to sit on Santas knee!!! :thinking:
Problem with that is I think we would enjoy the whole experiance more than Jessica would..... She is just way too old for that sort of thing/haz ;)

[Mrs BDA]

Right, I've done a route planner from my brother's to Vicky's and the good news is it shoud take just over an hour :2thumbsup

The bad news is that it sends me along the M6.................M6, Friday evening/wall

What is the ETA for everyone else?

Also, I'm off work tomorrow so do you want me to do/buy/bring anything, Vicky?

[Vicky Mann]

Not sure what time the others are all arriving. I'll be home from work around 6ish so you're all welcome anytime after that. I'm cooking dinner for anyone who wants it; just let me know how many I'm catering for.

As for what to bring I think most things covered now. You just need to bring yourself, some booze and some spends!!!

See you all tomorrow!

[WildCards]

Kates coming with Lily and Jess. Kate finished work at 5.30 so i'll pick her up and take a ginger drive over to stoke (barely any brakes!).

[Lillywotsername]

I am hoping to get home from work at about 7 but maybe as late as 8, depending on how it goes. Will need to sort a few bits at home before I leave but shouldn't take more than 1/2 an hour or so.
Would appreciate some dinner when I get to yours Vicky but can't speak for anyone else... jess will eat before we leave.

For those turning up before I get home... Richy will be here.

Helen if you want to meet up on the M6 I will Pm you my mobile number and just give me a ring:2thumbsup

See you all TOMORROW... Yippee!!!!

[WildCards]

Kate will be up for some grubbins Vicky if it's on offer. You know what her appetite is like /help

Is that what you estimate Lilly?

What a fantastic weekend...........
Started friday night with me getting home at 7 to find Alex and kieren already here, ( I came in very upset as hit a cat in the spazcort 50 yrds from home, and would like to say a big thankyou to Alex for making me a coffee and for her support and to Richy for letting me sob on his shoulder.....:iloveyou: both)

Wild cards and Kate ( cleaning lady) turned up around 7.30 and we were on our way to Chez Mann by 8, we arrived at 9.15/30.
Huge thankyou to Vicky for the wonderful lasangne, chilled wine and cider that awaited us.

Saturday was shopping day..... we shopped, ate, then shopped again, what more can you ask for ( other than Jessica whinging and the nightmare ride home, I knew there was a reason for not taking public transport) it was a great day. We had a really nice curry Saturday night, drunk more wine talked about real meaningful things ( unlike you men that talk sh1t) and really got to know each other. We finally hit the sack at around midnightish as I had to be back to pick Adam up from Rugby.

What more can I say............... Except.......... Steve will you hurry up and get a ring on your dear ladies finger, You have a real Star there:2thumbsup :2thumbsup :2thumbsup :iloveyou:
