Hello, just new here, but I would love to come on the 20th. Myself and partner, I will try and see if I can get a baby sitter but if not I will bring him along (just a few months old). It will be good to meet other T1s out there and T1 mums too!

[Kate]

Thanks Mocha. Guest list is growing - about 20 definites so far. I'm sure all those people who said yes when I mooted the idea earlier will also get round to RSVPing soon too! Bub is very welcome as I said. Look forward to meeting you. Cheers, Kate

Hi Kate

Yep I'll be there. Mike will be staying home with Audrey so I get to go out by myself. Yayyy!!

Lyndal

[Kate]

They are both very welcome of course - but footloose and fancy free is good too!!

Kate, can you please put myself and a plus one as "maybes" for the night - sorry I can't be more definite with my RSVP.

So just to let you know, we have 34 people RSVP'd for the Christmas party + 2 kids + me and my partner. Should be fun.

A few old-timers and lots of new people - including a few that are nervous and saying they've never been to anything before, never met other people with diabetes. An interesting mix. Hope ye oldies will be lovely and kind to the newbies!!

See y'all Wednesday.

Last minute entrants or extra ring-ins are fine. Just come along.

Cheers, Kate

[Kate]

Make that 36!

'fraid I'm an apology for this one. Would go if still in Aus but bit far to come from China. Make sure someone posts pics and all have a great time. I'm going to Beijing for a couple of nights next week so will make sure I have a drink to join in the festivities from afar.

Chelle, don't forget the Spike and Andro heads on sticks if they won't be there so they can be in the photos.

[Jade]

I wish I could be there, but I hope everyone has a fantastic time anyway, and puh-lease share some pics with the rest of us!

[Lynchy]

I'll see if I can come, who else is going? I talk to Matt and Monz, What about Artie... :p Hmmm Maybe RealityCheck should put up a KEg!! Then we shall see Numbers!! CHug CHug Chug:)

[Kate]

II don't have RSVPs from any of those people mentioned unless they masquerade under different names. As per my other post, looks like being a very varied group it looks like - lots of newbies and peopls that don't necessarily visit the website but are interested to meet some other Ds. Cheers, Kate
