Be Excellent To Each Other

Hope you are both doing ok!
Let me know later on if bringng deadly weapons is a bad idea...

NO BACKSIES!

(Much love to both of you)

No more of a risk this year than any year prior... which is to say I won't be participating again for everyone's safety

Thanks guys

I am glad you are both coming.

Title etc

Hello lovely peoples. It's about the time I start thinking about taking deposits but the attendance list is looking a bit sparse at the moment. Unless I've missed a post, so far we only have:

Jem
GazChap
TheVision
Trooper
JBR
Kern
Grim…
Cras
KovacsC
Malc
Curiosity
Mr Dave
Goddess Jasmine (maybe)
Bobbyaro
Myp
FunSally

As it stands that's not enough to even consider cottage #2 (although if the cottages website is correct that's still available 04-07).

Can we get some more nods? Anything from the regulars - Mali? NervousPete? Joans? DavPaz?

Grim... did you manage to ask the Hursts? Emelia?

Thank you kindly

Not this year for me.

Yeah, obviously.

You won the quiz, what more is there to do? Go out on a high

Undefeated.

Now taking deposits for cottage. £20 as usual. Payment details the same as previous years:

How many have we got?

Cottages? Still just the one. We don't have enough people to justify both, currently.

deposit sent

Thanks for deposits folks - my spreadsheet is up to date with everyone who's paid so far

Nudgey nudge on deposits please so we can start to work out final costs for this year.

Hello. In a grotesquely late manner owing to my greatly dimmed online presence so far this year, I would like to put myself in for some Cottage action pwease.

Thanks Pete - will be good to see you as always.

Morning folks. A potential yes this morning has put me into second cottage territory (which, according to the website is still available, but I've not checked with cottage man yet) but there's still quite a few deposits outstanding so I don't want to commit to small cottage only for the costs to be OTT for everyone if people drop out.

Would be good to get deposits for the existing yeses and any further interest?

Just paid my deposit!

Thank yooou

OK, an update! Did some chasing this morning as well as reaching out to cottage regulars who'd not given me a nod yet, and have confirmed enough names to warrant the second cottage - so this is now a definite, we have both booked.

Great stuff!

Thanks Jem!

Argh!!!!!!

I will throw money at you now!

Edit: paid.

paid

Smashing, thanks folks!

Bad news everyone. I have paid

For everyone? That’s very kind of you!

[insert another nag for deposits here]

Would be good to get the last few deposits in, so I'll be able to confirm final costs.

Um... Is there a list? I have no idea if I paid or not

You have paid your desposit

Still waiting for deposits from -

Malc
Curio
Mr Dave
NervousPete
Rach
Mr Hurst

Sorry, paid now, a bit more than the required amount

Thanks Malc

Hello! Our new friend "Playlist Beast" who came to MeatUp has also expressed interest in Cottage. If you get a random £20 then it's from her.

Sweet!

Do you know if Emelia is coming?

Oh shit, when I didn't see her on your "owes a deposit" list I thought that was because she'd paid you

She and I were just talking about it, I shall correct my mistake.

Thank yooou

Whoop!

OK, we're still waiting on a few deposits but those people in question have never let me down before, & it's summer hols next week which will be so manic I'll likely forget if I don't confirm now, so I'm optimistically calling the price at £88.50 per person this year. This includes a quid each to top up the cottage box with soaps, loo rolls etc which has worked really well the past few years. (Any overage gets chucked at pizzas or rolled into next year's pot.)

If you've already paid your £20 deposit that means you now owe £68.50 (except Malc who owes £38.50). If you're one of the 3 people that hasn't paid deposits, you owe £88.50.

Hopefully that's all clear... hoping for no spreadsheet cock-ups this year.

Done

Smashing, thanks dude

Dun

I tried to do it but my bank is being a dick. I'll give it another shot on Monday.

I'm looking forward to all my birthday gifts.

You're only fifty once!
