Anyway - I must dash to get my train. See you all later. I won't have my computer with me today so if there are any major changes one of you who has my number please text me. 
I'll see you all about 5pm in the The George, Great Eastern Liverpool street Station.
Looks like this is turning into quite a large 'Do'!

Sorry, apologies from me too (but then probably don't count as only added myself at the last minute anyway). Have a good one; you might as well get toxed(?) in order to be able to detox at the January Do...

Well, I know that the advance party of Swissytrader, Smirnoff, sunrisegirl, MoreChampagneSir? and E14 are currently getting settled in at The George ... and I should hopefully be back there myself in about an hour!

Good news. I'm just about to leave. Should be 15 mins or so.

Hope you all have a fabulous evening tonight. ^
I just got back after having flown DPS-HKG-DEL-LHR in the last few days, and am completely knackered! Afraid, I'll have to give this a miss.

Well I had to leave the fun soiree to get home to greet friends. They were just getting warmed up when I left and a good time was being had by all, though I'm sure it will get even better once a few more wines and beers are consumed.
I'm pleased to say I remain sober having only had one glass of vino - being almost teetotal I didn't want to disgrace myself on my "virgin" Do!
However, even that made me veer from the upright position. I took a bad tumble on the train and have cut my shin/knee badly. The Guard wanted me to go to Mayday Hospital for stitches, but I opted to come home instead. Wise choice given the option of upmarket Caterham or slummy Croydon!!!Stitches may well be necessary, but I'm holding off 'til the morning. See even on one glass of wine I can't be trusted!
It was wonderful to meet you all, and I promise to stay longer next time. Hope you all continued to have fun once I left.

Ah, the benefits of living a 7 minute cab ride from the venue ....
A good time was being had by all when I left! (And the good news is that Ms Raffles has come home from Harrods with minimal purchases!!)
And Aerotec, I owe you a beer!
