** Advanced Warning ** Pirate Christmas Social

right then................after years of wearing trainers i went looking for shoes today...........

i need to know how much walking will i have to do to get to this venue...........

i was looking at heels from 1 inch to about 4 inches...................and i was struggling to stand in 4 inches.........

i wpon't worry about the way back as i can just take the shoes off and walk barefooted.........

Seren, if you're travellodging it then Google reckons 0.3 miles from there (BS1 5TT) to the venue (Antix BS1 5JG).

i think i would win a mincing competition with Gladys wearing the 4 inch heels

Seren, wedges (not wedgies boys .. they are different) will be your friend, I promise

You certainly do NOT want 4 inch heels, trust me, I'm Imelda  

I'm having big shoes issues, why are heels so fecking uncomfortable.  I'm thinking of wearing trainers all evening ...

I shall be wearing heels so high, you could call them stilts.  I shall be almost normal height once I am in them.

I will be arriving at the venue at ca 7.45pm and walking around barefoot at ca 7.48pm.

settle for a massive inch and a half heels.high enough to make me feel like a lady but low enough that i won't have far to fall....

that if i don't change my mind in the next 7 days

Think there may be a lot of barefoot pirate ladies on Saturday night

I'm wearing sparkly high heels. I'm already quite tall so I wil look humungus.

I honestly don't find them too bad comfort wise.

I'm really looking forward to seeing Seren in heels

Hope.........they are only little heels but it is a dress......and i will have to get stockings and everything.......might even find some jewellry and makeup somewhere.........

one thing i will have to do it dye my hair because my son told me i looked like an old witch yesterday..................it s getting rather grey 

I am most excited about seeing Seren all dolled up I don't think I've ever seen her in anything except kit, post-race kit or "mooching about" stuff, certainly not posh frock. Can't wait. I think I need some skinny jeans.

its not a posh posh frock....i decided againgst going all the way.......

But will you still be wearing your Pirate baseball cap?

how else will you recognise me.i only wear it to hide all the grey hairs

Oh dear, this has snuck up on me and I don't have time to buy a posh dress now.  Guess I will be slobbing it then

just read back every page and can't find out when the drinking starts.

What time are we allowed at the venue / do they open?

I've told them 7.30pm with the food being served at 8pm.  However, they are open all day and I don't expect they will take issue with people arriving early.
