What do you think of having girl's night out ?

[cmd'smum]

every couple of months or so? Would you come along?

I have noticed mums from other states doing this and thought...why not perth mums? So please vote and if theres a few of us wanting to do it, then we'll get something organised :smiliedance

You have 7 days to vote....:)

xo
Linda.

[bearsmummy]

yep for sure Linda :yes: ... like i said the other day when i saw you.. is that i would be only be able to come out nights when DF is home from the mines.
But i would love to for sure if we do one at a good time for me :D

sounds like fun ;)

[westerner]

yeh i would come... DP should be able to look after him if not my mum or SIL will certainly volunteer... would be great... i think ive forgotten what mummy alone time is... hehehe

[cmd'smum]

cool!! :smiliedance:

We will make sure that we arrange a time that your DF is home :D How coincidental :eek:

I have a feeling that I'll need to organise a poll for dates soon!! :D

[damien's mum]

Hey Linda,

I think having a night out would be great!!
ill be in that for sure... Goodluck with working something out!

[bearsmummy]

We will make sure that we arrange a time that your DF is home :D How coincidental :eek:

:laughing: sounds like a plan to me :D

[Mum2Bug]

Linda

Count me in!!! I've forgotten what it feels like to have a night out that doesnt involve Bug throwing tantrums or ditching food at other people in the restaurant! Time to start sucking up to the sis to babysit for once!

[cmd'smum]

woohooo...I'm getting excited now. Mel, when is your DF back down? Gotta start looking at dates.... :detective:

Do you all think next month is too early? Or should we make a date in October?

[Mum2Bug]

October would be better for me!

sorry im being difficult :o if you guys cant sort something out those dates thats cool maybe i can make it next time :D

[Mum2Bug]

No we will make it for when you can come!!!

[Elmopalooza]

Can i come too!?? Please!?

IM Not fussed with which month either.. And even tho DP goes away to the mines on the 4th of september, i can always get the in-laws to watch amity for me!

[spiritedfamily]

I can do either month
Its harder for me to go out on usual social nights like Saturdays...
Fridays are better..

[Mum2Bug]

Yay this is starting to look good. Im excited now. Maybe we should have it on 16/17th sept when bearsmummy can come because i dont think i can wait til october now!

[Karstens Mum]

I would be in on that for sure.
Count me in for a night out in October

[cmd'smum]

[♥Heaven Sent♥]

[dormouse]

OOOOOHHHHH!!!! ME TOO!!!

I can come either month

[cmd'smum]

Well...it looks like October wins by 1 point!!!

Are you ok with this...please nod... ALSO...... dates would be good....... I can't make 14 October ...having friends over for dinner......:chef: but any other day is fine with me!! (first weekend is long weekend in October so unless anyone is going away that would give us an option of either a Friday, Sat or Sun night )

:wave:
Linda

P.SSSSSSSSSSSS Some ideas would be good......too.......okay...

my idea, hhrrrmmmmm..I know ToddlerTown :laughing: , seriously now.....say

Dinner...late movie and or bowling?!?!?! :detective:

[damien's mum]

I'm in Mount Lawley and dont have kidlens yet so we are REAL night owls!


Lol, ahh lucky you! Wait until you do have them, haha.
Cool, that's not to far away, are u ttc? :wave:

[damien's mum]

I'm thinking along the lines of maybe something that gives us time to sit and talk, adult talk, so that would make the movies out. How about dinner and for those that would have a few drinks, at a Ale house, i know Morley Ale house is well known for there food and entertainment?

But i'm quite happy to go along with any other idea's!
Just a thought

[cmd'smum]

I know you're going to think I'm a dag, but what about Sizzler? :o

[bearsmummy]

Well...it looks like October wins by 1 point!!!

like i said im my prevoius post linda i can only make it on the weekend of 28/29th in october so maybe we could go with that as the date... otherwise ill have to wait till next time, but thats cool if that has to be another date....

umm i like the sound of dinner and drinks and then bowling! would be great for a laugh! and we cant really chat if we are in the movies....
just an idea anyways....

[cmd'smum]

and then somewhere funkier ofcourse!!! :D

[cmd'smum]

okay.....does 28 or 29th October sound okay to everyone???

Yea, I know what you mean about movies..... can't talk....can we? :shame:

I'm happy with dinner.......then bowling...too, unless anyone else has some more creative ides :D , please feel free to suggest???

[Elijahsmama]

I'ld be a keen bean too!! Im kool with whenever and whatever.

[Vespera]

Lol, ahh lucky you! Wait until you do have them, haha.
Cool, that's not to far away, are u ttc? :wave:

Oh yeah except at the moment it feels like TTTTC (Trying trying trying to concieve!)

Hopefully I can still come to the girls night out even if I dont have kidlens to escape from :p

[bearsmummy]

Oh yeah except at the moment it feels like TTTTC (Trying trying trying to concieve!)

Hopefully I can still come to the girls night out even if I dont have kidlens to escape from :p

of course you can hun :D the more the merrier!

Okay...Mel...yes Poll is a great idea...uuummmm...except...... I can't find an otpion in here do do a "poll", do I have to start a brand new thread?

[bearsmummy]

Okay...Mel...yes Poll is a great idea...uuummmm...except...... I can't find an otpion in here do do a "poll", do I have to start a brand new thread?

:laughing: i wouldnt have a clue hun lol!
i guess im just as clueless about it as you ;) :laughing:
im guessing u would have to make a new one....:confused:

[cmd'smum]

:o :o

How embarassing... I'm a software enjineer's (computer nerd's) wife...and can't even figure it out :D

Ah S***W it...

Just vote for the night you want and I will add them up!!! :rolleyes:

Again...any night is fine with me!

[bearsmummy]

well ill start the votes off then.... saturday 28th would be best for me :D

[Cynara]

I would love to come along to these but I'll probably start to join you after bubs is born so count me in from April next year (give me three months to get the wedding out the way and I am there!)

[Vespera]

Any night is good for me :)

[Mum2Bug]

saturday 28th fine by me....just to back mel up!

[damien's mum]

Either night, is good with me, Try and make it for Mel to be able to be there aswell, coz she is awesome, and you wouldnt know what you were missing out on, if she didn't!!!!!

[Grizabella]

Bit late into the thread...but I'd be keen too. Whenever you decide is fine with me, Stu can just roster around it. Dinner and bowling sounds like fun! I went out for the first time in ages to the pub, and I felt OLD. And lame. Seem to have grown out of binge drinking. Maybe it's from working with drunks, I don't want to be one! :laughing:

[Tan-mumof3]

Im a bit in the thread too but i am also interested in coming not sure what date suits me best so i asume any date would be great.

[cmd'smum]

:laughing: Jude......... I know what you mean......... :yes:

Looks like dinner and bowling is popular, unless anyone else has any ideas? Cmon girls, I'm originally from Sydney so not sure what is "happening" in Perth....... if there is anything "happening" here??? joking! joking! :eek:

:idea: What about a dinner cruise?

[damien's mum]

Lol, dinner cruise, i have never heard of it, im guessing that's a dinner on a boat?
Let's hope some arent sea sick! Lol

I can't wait, i wanna go out now!Lol

[Mum2Bug]

I'll just be happy to get out of the house so whatever suits is fine by me:laughing:

[bearsmummy]

Either night, is good with me, Try and make it for Mel to be able to be there aswell, coz she is awesome, and you wouldnt know what you were missing out on, if she didn't!!!!!

Aw your a gem Alicia :hugs: :D

[westerner]

what ever is good with mel will be fine with me...:thumbsup: ( although just secretly i think she is avoiding me so im not sure if we will ever meet...) :laughing: hehehe :laughing: one day mel... one day... :yes:

[bearsmummy]

what ever is good with mel will be fine with me...:thumbsup: ( although just secretly i think she is avoiding me so im not sure if we will ever meet...) hehehe .... one day mel... one day...

:laughing: aw hunny you know id never do that to you:hugs:
Ill be at the NOR meet hopefully this week and at Go Bananas on friday as well so im bound to meet you before then hun ;)

[Elmopalooza]

Hey girls!

Well with regards to where we can have it, Can we make it somewhere that the food is cooked fresh!? Its just that being pregnant and all Sizzler doesnt realy appeal to me at the moment. Sorry to be a pain!

Im pretty easy when it comes to when we go out. I will ask the in-laws to watch Amity for me.

Also, are we able to make it somewhere central?? That way no moatter where we all live its pretty fair for everyone.

Maybe we can go to the bowling place in the city!? And there are plenty of places to eat at in there!

[cmd'smum]

:laughing: Alicia........ that'll be a chnage...mums throwing up instead of bubs!! :o

okay...so Saturday 28th of October is the night out .........unless there are any objections......speak now or forever hold your peace.......:D

Okay should we have dinner at 7pm......????? So now the question begs...where for dinner?

Few suggestions

Sizzler
Chinese restaurant (Banquet??)
Maccas (joking joking)
Hogs breath :D
Oriels (Subi), although its prob better to go there after dinner and bowling for a coffee since its open 24/7??? just a thought for all the "night owls"


suggestions please????

[cmd'smum]

Amity'smum...just read your post..... sorry...Sizzler is out then girls........there's a hog's breath in Northbridge??? Yummy......:D

Also on Beaufort St, "The Queens"???

Sienna's on Beaufort too

La Porchetta's in Morley.....

[♥Heaven Sent♥]

28th would be fine for me and the hogs breath sounds good:D

[cmd'smum]

Thtas the most central central I can think of....

I don't really know any in the city that are open at night....except for the hotels there...the Hyatt is great for dinner...but we prob won't be on our best behaviour and will get frowned upon :mad: We went there actually not long ago for dinner and the waiter asked us what we wanted to drink.... I really didn't feel like any wine just wanted plain old coke zero...and he goes..."oh we don't have that!" I was like "Well...do you have any soft drinks at all?" He was just so rude about it. then ofcourse he was nice when I put him in his place!! :laughing: ...anyway...off the topic a little there........

[jazzak]

I know of a nice place to go although the night i have in mind is a sunday !

The cafe at the new holiday inn is nice (forget the name) but my friends band plays there on sunday nights if we want a bit of entertainmant!! and the food is great aswell !!

just a thought !!

[westerner]

i think sat has been decided already.. this allows the most number of people to come along and have fun... im not really fussed on where we go.. i think the main thing is that its not a buffet so lana ( and anyone else who may be preg... ) can have fresh food...

[jazzak]

Yeh thats cool it was just a suggestion !!! the band is great and the food is delicious and fresh!!!


But i am also cool with any where!!! as long as we all have a blast :smiliedance: :smiliedance:

[cmd'smum]

So girls..... does Hog's Breath in Northbridge sound good then? After that bowling...or something else if you want.......theres lots of bars in Northbridge too if you would prefer that.

Is 7pm okay for dinner or earlier?

[Ashley's Mummy]

Hi all!! I dont know any of you mummy's and feel a little shy :o DP is telling me i should come along but I don't want to bore any of you with my lack of stuff to talk about :rolleyes: i feel a bit boring these days :o

[cmd'smum]

:laughing: :laughing: trust me, you're not the only one who feels a "little boring these days" :o

Ofcourse you should come along...we're all cool chicks :yes:

Plus not all of us have met everyone coming along! I havn't!!!

Cmon girls, lets all shout it out at once....PLEASE COME ASHLEY'S MUM!!!That rhymes!!!

So 28 October is good for you too Ashley'smum?

[Vespera]

Just another suggestion for dinner as I am not sure Hogs Breath has room for an 18 person table (feel free to correct me as I have only been there once)

[Ashley's Mummy]

:laughing::laughing: :laughing: ok then, since you put it that way, i'd love to. I dont know anyone yet and it sounds like half of you are old buddies now, but if you've got room for 1 more im in, the date is no prob either. its a couple weeks after my 28th bday, just incase anyone needed a further excuse to have a couple of drinks!! lol. cheers and :hugs: 's

[Ashley's Mummy]

oooooh and Valentinos is a good suggestion!!! i love it there.

[cmd'smum]

I will check with Hog's Breath. If they don't want our business :p , we'll go to Valentino's...if thats ok with everyone?

[bearsmummy]

I looove Valentinos!:smiliedance: its soooo yummy, i think we should go there too!

oh yeah Ashleysmummy please come, the more the merrier! We would love to meet you! :D

[little mermaid]

I will be there!!:smiliedance: I was going to suggest Valentino's but was a bit shy to put in any ideas.:o
I love Valentino's!!!!

[cmd'smum]

okay then....Valentino's it is...........we have 19 girls going right? What time should I book us in for?

[Mum2Bug]

Um question...Ive never gone out anywhere before...so where the c**p is Valentinos?:laughing: Yeah i know, I need a life!

[westerner]

in northbridge... kinda in the middle of the main street.. it is good food.. i used to work with the head chef elsewere.. he employed me for my first chef job ever... hehehe such a small world...

[Mum2Bug]

in northbridge... kinda in the middle of the main street.. it is good food.. i used to work with the head chef elsewere.. he employed me for my first chef job ever... hehehe such a small world...

ok. still got no idea but i guess i'll find it!!!:laughing:

[cmd'smum]

mum2bug

here is their website

http://www.valentino.com.au/

They are on the corner of Lake and James sts in Northbridge. Across the road from that green coffee place...ahhh not miss maude's the other one...geez...I've gone blank!!! I used to go there all the time:banghead:

[bearsmummy]

And its a big blue building... u cant miss it!:thumbsup:
mum2bug ill sort something out for ya, you dont have a car and im not letting u get the train! :hugs:

[cmd'smum]

THATS ITTTTTTTTTTTTTT ............ DOME:o

[bearsmummy]

Maybe some of us could car pool it, save us all driving in! Just an idea... gives us more of a chance to talk too :D

[Ashley's Mummy]

where do you live mumtobug?? maybe we can pick you up along the way?? My DP will be dropping me off i think so that i may have a couple of drinks with you's girlies if i choose to do so, i never get out either!!! Then probably just get a taxi home! Im :o to say im a bit shy these days but have been convinced to come. Though i admit it's really sounding like fun, and it'll be nice to meet all you's mummie's!! :hugs: but im still :o..... silly i know but hey, what can ya do :eek:

[Ashley's Mummy]

seems as though were thinking the same thing!! :yes:

[cmd'smum]

Mel, thats what I was going to suggest. Perhaps if there is a few of you in the same area you can meet at someone's house and go together in 2 or 3 cars instead of driving there on your own. Plus this will make parking much more easier!!!! :yes:

So what time should we start dinner?

[cmd'smum]

Oh, and I don't mind driving in if any of you morely/surrounding area girls wanna meet at my place and leave your cars there?

[bearsmummy]

i was thinking bout 6ish? i know i have no stamina now:sleeping: to stay up waaay too late and at least thats gives us plenty of time to go out for drinks & bowling or whatever afterwards....
just an idea.... anyone else? :D

[Mum2Bug]

LOL. thanks for the offers ladies but Im out in Midland. And I like my trains:laughing:

[cmd'smum]

Mum2bug.....I will drop you off home....there is no way I'm letting you get a train back home on your own late at night :shame:

[damien's mum]

Ok, kick me in da butt, but isnt northbridge getting a bit scary at night times, these days, or do i see a different channel news Lol, the Alicia news, lol.

I don't mind either way, i have been there before, and as a smoker we sat outside, maybe that's why we experienced a hard time!

But any way, im in still! Lol.. i will car pull with.......... Danae, lol here i am inviting myself to be car pulled Lol. I think danae is the closest to me actualli lol

[Mum2Bug]

Mum2bug.....I will drop you off home....there is no way I'm letting you get a train back home on your own late at night :shame:

Thanks but takes you out of your way. I'll be fine on the train (do it every monday night) and i live 2 min from midland train station

[westerner]

the earlier the better in my opinion.. once we all start gossiping it will be soooo late before we know it.. so may as well start early.. at least then we wont be rushed..

[bearsmummy]

Ok, kick me in da butt, but isnt northbridge getting a bit scary at night times, these days, or do i see a different channel news Lol, the Alicia news, lol.

i think its more later at night and more near the nightclubs etc, not the restaurant/ cafe strips :D

[damien's mum]

LOL. thanks for the offers ladies but Im out in Midland. And I like my trains:laughing:


LOL from midland they are not safe at night, im in morley, i will pick you up, or should i say Dh will, coz i dont drive, but then we get a lift with someone! I dont like the idea of ya getting a train at night, and really not from midland!

[westerner]

the main street with cafes and restaurants is fine.. :thumbsup:hanging in the back streets and around dark corners.. not so fine.. :thumbsdown:

[cmd'smum]

I really don't mind mum2bug.......

[cmd'smum]

oh and 6 is okay with me

[damien's mum]

Lol, cool..!
Ok, so we are on for saturday the 28th of oct was it? Lol i can spend money on dinner instead of the show, muaha, i dont want to go but dh wants to. Lol

[cmd'smum]

alicia, you can get a lift to my place if you like and we can go together?

[Elmopalooza]

Wow ladies you sure can talk! :laughing: All the more reason for the earlier time of 6pm!! ooh! and Valentino's is the beeesstt!!!

I am hapy to pick a few of u ladies up aswell. One of the joys of being pregnant is not being able to drink so i dont mind being one of the skippers for the nite. I will live in Willagee then so anyone of the way in for me i dont mind picking you up.. Oh, and please dont be shy to ask me hey, if i didnt want to i wouldnt have offered!

So is there anyone between Willagee and Northbridge that would like a lift in??

[damien's mum]

alicia, you can get a lift to my place if you like and we can go together?


I will get back to ya! I hate going with other people, coz if u want to leave before they do, u feel rude, and if u want to stay and they want to go, its hard. Lol... But i dont have a choice! I will see if i can get Dh to dropped me on his way to work, and then make a choice when im ready to leave who is going, LOL!!! Mrs scab a lift here!

[cmd'smum]

No worries leesh...

[mummymason]

Hi everyone,

I hope it is not too late but would anyone mind if I tag along for the night out. Am in real need of some time off from being a mother and would love to meet some of you. I understand if it is too late with the bookings but if there is any chance I would love to join all of you.

Hopefully see some of you on Friday at Go Bananas otherwise for the night out.

xx

[skyejax]

well i never voted in the poll at all, cause my answer would b YES , but me attending is impossible unfortunately. miss two doesnt like being left behind and daddy doesnt last 5mins looking after the kids without calling me to c when i will b back. this is no joke.... i couldnt even go to my sil hens day on saturday (last) cause i couldnt take my mobile with me to some ofthe places and he wanted to be able to contact me and get me if he needed to. :thumbsdown: so every where i go my kids go...or at least miss 2.
sorry and hav a blast for me.

Okay now I'm scared, I grew up in Kalgoorlie as well. When did you leave?

[mummymason]

Fantastic - I am really looking forward to it. So sorry to bother but can anyone give me the exact details so far. I have had a look back through the thread and have seen the 29th October - bowling and Valentino's but not sure of times or order.

Sad that you are unable to make it aswell Mary:( . Would have loved to have meet you but understand where you are coming from with the hubby thing!

[mummymason]

Oh yeah by the way, i just went bowling for the first time in ages on Saturday night as a "date" with my husband. made me realise how bad i am so don't expect any serious competition from me:thumbsdown: Didn't realise you could get such a low score even with the side bumpers up!!

[Elmopalooza]

:laughing: Kate ur bowling attempts sounds a lot like mine!!

So far we have decided on Saturday 28th October at 6pm. Meeting at Valentinos for dinner then off to bowling after.. I think thats right! We are all going to try and sort out some car pooling too. Easier on parking that way!

[skyejax]

I think with the amount of talking that we do on here, we dont need to go bowling, we will just be able to sit at the tables and talk! Lol.. i dont think they will cater for that many people at bowling... it will be all different lanes and that!

[Mum2Bug]

I just saw this...I love to come but I don't know if mods are invited:crying:

Come down! Make a weekend of it! Your not that far away :laughing:

[cmd'smum]

Really Leesh??? I'll ask them anyway........ but you're right.....we will prob end up taking up all the lanes.....so who knows......will let you all know. Is the bowling place in the city AMF?

Valention's prob won't have enough room either.....:eek: we'll prob end up at maccas :eek: :laughing: :laughing:

Linda
xo

[Vespera]

Valentinos will have enough room, they have a huge room upstairs where they will put us. I've been there for a 40 person dinner before!

As for bowling, who would have thought you were so popular Linda!

[bearsmummy]

I just saw this...I love to come but I don't know if mods are invited:crying:

the more the merrier sweet :D oh im soooo excited :smiliedance:

[damien's mum]

Lol, just incase anything goes not to plan, My dh will be working that night, and damien will be sleeping over nanny's house, so i am more than happy to have it at my place, i know it's not out and about, but if it's the lastest resort then so be it!

[cmd'smum]

Thanks VES...... :cool: :laughing:

Thanks Leash for the offer but I think all of us girls are VERY VERY EAGER to get out :devil6:

If AMF don't take us we will brainstorm another idea!!

Mel.... I'm SOOOOO excited too!!!!:smiliedance:

[damien's mum]

Just a thought!!!!

[cmd'smum]

BTW Leash, can you pls pm me you addy for Tuesday? ta!

[damien's mum]

BTW Leash, can you pls pm me you addy for Tuesday? ta!

All done Linda!!!
Can't wait to catch up on tuesday, for anyone else that's interested in coming along tuesday just ask me to pm ya, and if im not on here, someone will have it! Lol

xxxxxxxx

[Merlion]

well i can't work out when is this get together. i'm pretty sure its oct. for those haven't me i'm dark haired and be 6mths pregnant

[Elmopalooza]

Hey Alleycat! Ur spot on hun!! The night out is on 28th Oct at 6pm at Valentions in Northbridge!!

[Merlion]

Will definitely be fat and very very pregnant. :D

[Elmopalooza]

Hehe thats ok! I will be 22 weeks pregnant myself! Lol we can be big and pregnant together! lol (altho u will be a bit bigger than me!)

[Merlion]

Yep nearly 26 weeks pregnant. i have really popped out this week and i'm only 16weeks

[westerner]

i dont mind what we end up doing... but i dont even no if we need to do something after dinner.. might end up being a hassle driving elsewhere finding parking meeting up again.. etc etc to go bowling or something.. cos its not near by.. its on the other side of the city.. 5-8 minute drive.. like i said i dont mind but i wasnt sure if it would end up being difficult.. besides.. the way we all talk i think you will have a hard time shutting us up and getting our buts of the seats to go elsewhere... just a thought thats all..

i cant wait though... very excited...

[damien's mum]

Lol, i agree with mummy2jacob!!
that's what i meant by just having dinner or something easy, coz we will all be talking to much!!! Lol

[bearsmummy]

Well maybe we can just do dinner this time and maybe next time do bowling and drinks or something:confused: I dont mind either way :D

[Mum2Bug]

Im just there no matter what we do!

[westerner]

thats a good idea mel.. :thumbsup:i dont mind what we decide on either...i think bowling with all you ladies would be a laugh and a half and great fun :smiliedance: it was just a thought that driving elsewhere after dinner and parking and meeting up again might be a hassle.. :confused:

[damien's mum]

Well i guess we will just wait for linda to make the decision lol. She seems to be a good decision maker. Lol lindaaaaaaaaaaa............

[cmd'smum]

Hi girls.........

Thanks for the compliment Alicia :thumbsup: :D

Its up to all of you...although I do see your point.......what if we have dinner, see how that goes and what time that finishes. Then if anyone is still interested and isn't too :sleeping: and wants to party on, we can decide there and then on going somewhere else......(it'll be too late for bowling then) So lets just decide as we go....all in favour say "Aye"

I see we are up to 26 people attending???

[damien's mum]

AAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
Can't we make it for tonight, lol!! Wanna get out now had enough lol

[cmd'smum]

I completely know how you are feeling...Chloe did'nt wanna nap today so I took her for a walk and now she is :sleeping: finally!!!!! :banghead:

Looks as if we will need to make these night outs a monthly occurance :D :smiliedance:

[damien's mum]

LOL, tell me about it... Damien has knocked off his afternoon sleep for the last week and a half... And driving me insane, that was MY time, u hear me MY time!!
So DH took him for a walk down to the park to play with his ball, and he is still running around the house looking for more to do! Think it might be a movie time soon lol.

[Mum2Bug]

Looks as if we will need to make these night outs a monthly occurance :D :smiliedance:

I like that idea!!!

[damien's mum]

I was thinking................................
For those of us that can't wait for the night out, and can get babysitter's...

For your information I have attached our set menu’s for your perusal and consideration for your group.



If you require further information please contact us by email or phone 9328 2177



Kind regards


Here is a list of the 3 set menus and wine list we can chose from!! :chef:

http://www.valentino.com.au/functions.php

What do you think you're going to have?:D mmmmmmm yummy

[Elmopalooza]

Heya! I have a bit of a question... With the 'set' menus doesnt that mean that we ALL have to have the same set menu?? And if that is the case do we take the cheaper option for the money conscious or go for the more expensive one so that we have a wider choice??

Personally i would choose the one for $39.90 pp. Its not like we dont have enought time to put money aside anyway.

Also, I know it sounds silly, but what do u girls think about having name tags with our real name and our Bub hub name??? That way we wont all feel rude and for any first-timers they will know all our names... Just a suggestion...

[mummymason]

Yum, I have just had a look at all the food on the website and it looks delicious! I agree with the name tag thing as I found it hard sometimes to match our real names to the bubhub names.

Don't mind about the set menu selection as it all looks good but the $39.90 one was exceptional. I think that is also pretty good for starters, mains and dessert.
Really looking forward to it:smiliedance:

[bearsmummy]

hmmm i prefered the middle option... obviously not for money reasons, but food wise i thought it was better. At the end of the day though i dont really mind though... im not going there to eat im going there for a bloody big chat!:ecomcity: :laughing:

[Mum2Bug]

I'm afraid I'm with Mel on this one. I preferred the middle option as well. There are quite a few things I can't or don't eat and this one was the best meal option for me.

Do we have to do a set menu? I've no idea as I've never been there.

[Elmopalooza]

:laughing: Mel is that just because u dont like perfittaroles??

I just think that it would be nicer to have a choice of starters rather than having the tasting plate for the whole table.. There isnt really much on there that i am able to eat (being pg).

What does everyone else think?? Should be all vote for the one that is best suited to our big group?? Probably the fairest way hey.. and if we cant agree we may just have to go for the full menu....

[Elmopalooza]

De-A i agree that maybe the set menu ISNT the way to go for us.. especially being such a big group with different food needs.. some us may have allergies (me to seafood).

I think that the full menu would be the best bet. A lot safer that way too, at least we will all be able to get something that works for us!

[cmd'smum]

Girls.... I'm not really fussed....... I love all types of food......:D plus, like Mel said....I'm mainly going for a :ecomcity: and not too worried about what I eat (As long as the food doesn't move and is cooked! :D )

However, I will check with the restaurant to see if we can chose or whether we all have to have the same menu and get back to you.

Lana...... as for name tages...haha.....you read my mind! I was going to suggest that too!!! Good idea, :thumbsup:

[Vespera]

The only problem I can see with having the full menu is they wont do sperate billing so we will be trying to split a 28 person bill fairly.

Personally it doesnt both me either way but it could be a bit of a hassle at the end whereas with a set menu everyone knows how much their dinner will be.

As for set menus I prefer the middle one as well

[Merlion]

I'm not to fussed but I do prefer the middle one. I love food and will eat about anything.

Also does anyone to carpool from SOR as I don't think I will be up to driving by myself to Northbridge being so pregnant

[cmd'smum]

As for set menus I prefer the middle one as well

I agree!

So should I start a poll as to which set menu we would like to have........ ?????I get the feeling that they are going to reply that we have to chose one.... I can't see them preparing 3 diff set menus :no:

[Elmopalooza]

Ok well i choose OPTION 3 - $39.50!

I can only eat like 3 out of the 7 foods on the starter plate in option 2. Also, I cant eat the fettucine coz im allergic to shellfish (scallops) and i dont really like cooked mushies when i can taste them. Its a bummer that it doesnt have a chicken dish in it. (sorry if im sounding fussy but there are just some things i dont/cant eat)

Alleycat - i live SOR and will be driving. Im in Willagee where abouts r u??

[bearsmummy]

.... im not fussed and at the end of the day with any option there is at least one thing or more that im happy eating... and even tho im not keen on some of the entrees and desserts well im sure i can live with that... im not there to eat really like is said b4 :ecomcity:

Like Ves said it would be pretty hard to split a bill between 30 odd of us and what if they dont do separate bills? that would be a mission :laughing:

I would say do the poll Linda :yes: the only way i think we can sort this one out... and u never know they may swap something over on the night for those who have allergies etc....

[Merlion]

I'm in Huntingdale.

[Vespera]

I would say do the poll Linda :yes: the only way i think we can sort this one out... and u never know they may swap something over on the night for those who have allergies etc....

They are actually really good at swapping foods if you have allergies or if you are just fussy, one of the girls on my last table really wanted pasta but didnt eat seafood so they made her a another pasta. But a poll is a great idea.

[lovely_larnie]

can i come can i come, i would love to meet you all, if so i dont care what i will be eating, im a pig i will eat anything. and i will give you my sweeties lana , if you can eat it that is!lol.

[Elmopalooza]

Alleycat i have PM'd u.

[mummymason]

Do you think that if everyone finds it easier then agreeing on one of the set menu's, we could choose what we want from the full menu (especially main) and everyone has their order in a week or two before the night? That way they will still be prepared beforehand for the groupie of mummies but everyone gets what they want. The splitting bill part might be a task and I know this might be more expensive for some if they still want entrees, mains and desserts but just a suggestion.

Fell free to tell me if the idea is bad :thumbsup:

[Mum2Bug]

De-A i agree that maybe the set menu ISNT the way to go for us.. especially being such a big group with different food needs.. some us may have allergies (me to seafood).

Im allergic too but was just gonna miss entree so not to annoy everyone :laughing:
I was thinking that if we did the full menu thing, could we maybe get them to send out a menu with prices, we could choose what we want and let them know, and then just make sure we have our separate money ready.

I realise im probably coming across as fussy but im allergic to a few foods on the menus and cant really afford to pay $40 to eat only 1/3 of the set menu. Otherwise Im going to have to forget going out. Sorry!

[Elmopalooza]

Kate i think thats a GREAT Idea... that way we can all get what we want and the restaurant is albe to be prepared too!

De-A i guess im just looking forward to having a 3 course meal!!! Hun they have their full menu on their website... check it out

I just think its only fair for ALL of us to have the same choices as everyone else. And i agree, if im paying $40 i want to be able to eat it all not just parts of it!

[cmd'smum]

That is def a good idea, however, I don't think that they will do this, never know they might. I will ask them once they have replied to my question of whether or not we all have to chose the exact same menu.

Will keep you posted......so for now, until we get an answer from Valentions I think a poll would be a good idea, just incase.

:D

[cmd'smum]

Lovely larnie, sure you can come...28 is only an appx number.

[bearsmummy]

this is all getting a little too hard for my brain to handle so i might just say ill go with whatever is decided on.....:yes: doesnt really bother me at all.

[Grizabella]

Hey guys :wave:

Is there a prob with the menu choice?? I thought Valentinos would be able to take individual orders. I mean they should be able to cope, most restaurants are able to take multiple orders from large bookings. It's just that everyone's food will come at slightly different times. But as we are all going to be gasbagging that shouldn't be a prob. Also their menus are on the site so we should be able to budget our own $$ accordingly.

The set menus are ok, but seeing as we have a couple of ppl with food allergies, or are pregnant, the set menu may not work. (specially since there is seafood and smoked chicken etc on all of the set menus)

Not being difficult, just pointing it out. I'm ok with the menus, I just don't eat dessert so I would prefer (not insist) on choosing my own meal. Just want to pay for what I eat, don't like to waste good food :D

Ah well - I guess we just see how Linda goes with Valentinos, hopefully something will be sorted out ASAP :D

Brions_mum........ :D I don't think they will let us chose what we want as they were quite clear about 3 set menus for group bookings....but we will see. Have emailed them and hopefully will have an answer as to what we can do!!

Nobody fear...Linda is here :eek: :D We have ages to sort this out. It's no probs at all, I love organising! Worst possible scenario, there are always other restaurants we can go to!!

Will keep you all updated!!!

I have been there with a smaller group booking of like 12 before and we all got to choose our own meals from the full menu.. perhaps they are under new management tho.

As u said linda, worst case scenario there are plenty of other restaurants!

[Mum2Bug]

Ok ladies, here's my dilemma

Each of the menus has mushrooms, olives or seafood, all of which I am allergic to. I'm also not really a big fan of tomato. So if Valentino's is to be our final decision and they won't work around things like allergies and pregnant mums not being able to have certain foods, then Im sorry but I'll be pulling out. As much as I want to meet you all, I cannot afford to pay those amounts for food that I wont be eating and then have to buy something before or after for my dinner.

[Elmopalooza]

De-A I am with u on that one.. As much as i am looking forward to coming and having anight out, i just cannot justify spending $40 on 1 out of 3 course. So as De-A said, if they arent willing to sort something out then im afraid i wont be able to attend either.

[bearsmummy]

how bout some suggestions for elsewhere then?

[cmd'smum]

Bearsmummy...lets wait and see what they say first? Whaddaya rekon? They may turn around and say, sure, chose what you like as long as you give us enough notice?? Never know. They won't take long to get back to me.

there's always hog's breath if all else fails :D :o

[bearsmummy]

was just thinking ahead just in case that way we have a back up ready to go....


i hope we can still go there.... i really love that place

[cmd'smum]

Girls,

Check this out, its Hog'sbreath's party/function menu

http://www.hogsbreath.com.au/index.php?itemid=106

Is this better as a backup plan? Or would you rather Hoggies???

[bearsmummy]

I say thats cool but like i said before im happy with whatever everyone else chooses....

[Mum2Bug]

To be honest I just want somewhere I can eat the food, I do admit to liking the Hoggies menu though. i realise its hard to please everyone but im just wondering how many more people have allergies that havent logged on to look at the menu yet

[Elmopalooza]

OMG Linda Hogs breath is SUCH a winner!! Menu number 2 looks Fantastic! and hello!!! MUD CAKE!!!

Yummo! I would actually prefer to go here than Valentinos..

Get out of my head!

[cmd'smum]

Okay, well I'm not pg or have allergies, so honestly, I'm not fussed and don't mind where we go. HB suits me.

The menu does look like it would suit lots of people. It's pretty easy.

So, would the chickies who hav'nt had a squiz at the HB menu like to have a look and please let me know what you think ?

Sankyou

:)

[westerner]

i am pretty easy with anything we choose... but i must admit menu 2 for hogs breath looks the best IMO... but i would eat something of all the menus we have looked at so its all cool whichever we decide with me... yummo cant wait to have a meal all to myself with no little hands trying to eat it all... and i might actually be able to eat it hot...:smiliedance:


ohh wait, on second thoughts it will prob be cold as usual but not because of a child.... because none of us will be able to shut up long enough to eat....... hahahaha :laughing: :rolleyes:

[damien's mum]

Hey guys....

Someone will have to let me know which one we are going to, as i dont have a computer anymore, and hardly am able to get on! I'm happy with either one..
Poor Linda, hope you can get this sorted before packing!! :fingerscrossed:

[Elijahsmama]

Hogs Breath does it for me too! But am happy with whatever. Cant wait!!

[mummymason]

Go the Hogs Breath!! I am absolutely addicted to their curly fries so would most definately be happy if that is were we end up. Nothing tastier (and classier:D ) then a dinner with fries.

[cmd'smum]

Well HB just replied to me and said they will take us!

So should I call and make the booking then? :p

Should I? Should I? :D

[Elmopalooza]

Hehehe i say HELL YEAH! but then again im biased coz thats the food I can eat! If we are all happy withthe decision then i say go for it!!

[cmd'smum]

Ok.... Lana......I will wait for a few more yeses and will then go ahead and book

[Mum2Bug]

I'm with Lana! Put me as a yes!:D

[spiritedfamily]

Which location? Joondalup or Northbridge?

[cmd'smum]

Damona...it will be Northbridge as its central and fairer travel wise for everyone.:)

[spiritedfamily]

Excellent!!! central is good for me:thumbsup:

[cmd'smum]

Hi girls,

Just wanted you to have a read of this reply i got from Valentino's. Do you still want to go to HBs or not? If yes, i'll need to cancel the booking with Valentino's so can you please let me know either way!

Thanks

Hi Linda,

Thanks for your email, you would need to select one of the set menu’s. Alternatively you could use the standard a’ La’ Carte menu and the guests

may select their personal choice.

Regarding the date for confirmation of the menu we would prefer at least 5 days prior the booking.

Kind regards

[Elmopalooza]

So is the A la Carte menu where we just choose a few meal options ourselves and then we all have to choose what we want from that?? Or is it basically just using the full menu??

[cmd'smum]

To be honest Lana, I really don't know. I have a feeling we should just make it Hog's breath....just looks so much easier! Even if we could chose anything, imagine collecting all the money at the end of the night.......... we'd have to add drinks...I can see it being a bit of a pain!

He did say standard menu though........ so am not sure!
