sooooo, the huge meet up is soon! Yay!

Has anyone got any plans as to what we're actually going to get up to?

We have been told that our furniture is ready for delivery and are really gunning for delivery this week, so if all goes to plan we're happy to host stuff on the Saturday.

We were thinking mexican food for dinner - chilli, nachos and all that stuff. Does that work for people? Then if anyone wants to bring other stuff (drinks/starters/sides/dessert/anything/presents/gold). What does everyone think?

yessss!

so we'll be getting into town mid afternoon-ish Friday and I was thinking we could meet up for a coffee or whatever with whoever is free then... then we're busy going to the theatre on Friday night and will probably hang with the whanau on Saturday day and head over to Shell+N's on Saturday afternoon/evening for the main event : )

Mexican food is perfect, we both love all that stuff! I will either make things at my bro's and bring them over or get to your place early and cook there

Also, I think it was decided that you and N need to try feijoa 42 below, right? : )

yayayayayayay!!

Depending on what time you're gonna have to head off to the play I may be able to meet for coffee on Friday after work, we'll see.
Heli, I will get around to texting / messaging you soon to let you know where we'll leave a key (just in case you need it).

You can come round whenever you want on Saturday, so far I've not got any plans for us on Saturday....unless Heli has any ideas.

Ha, yeah....apparently that twill make us love feijoas, right?!

sweet as. We've just got to balance a bit to make sure we spend some time with my bro etc, but I'm foreseeing sometime mid-afternoonish, and then we can stay as long as you'll have us! : )

oh wow I just looked at those images and they're really hard to read, sorry!

but yes, it's perfectly healthy, just like an apple.

I told my husband you were thinking of a mexican theme for the food for Saturday night and he's excited. We're really looking forward to it!! : )

YES IT WILL :D

YES IT IS >:D

............... *ahem* Oh sorry, I got a bit excited there. Which is not to say that I'm not excited over the prospect of long-since-tasted tequila; but it only took one sip for me to fall in love with 42 below feijoa. :)>>>

....so... it has happened!
Just a sneak preview of the evidence:

things began all cosy in the kitchen

food was prepared...
http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/oncewerewesties/VW%20meetup/kitchenpre.jpg

...discussions were had...
http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/oncewerewesties/VW%20meetup/kitchengetsheated.jpg

there was smiling and hugging
http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/oncewerewesties/VW%20meetup/theoantony.jpg

there was also tequila...

and a bit of gratuitous nakedness and displays of muscle...

... nah, just kidding, what could be better stuff than Shell's mighty guns! ; )

hehe, Shell, would you like to vote on whether you want photos of your birthday present posted in this thread?
when I showed these photos to my husband after we got home last night there were *quite* a few he didn't recall either...
I'm having a stupidly busy day catching up on shit I didn't get done on Friday but will try to put some more up later.

...also, I think Theo has the only pic with the four of us in it, so I'm looking forward to seeing that : )
