Here is the plan....

....On Saturday night Julie, Charlene and I were chatting and we talked about what we could do together when I was home. Well we came up with this idea.....remember the wee cinema place we went to some Saturday nights with the youth club, well we thought of hiring it for the evening and showing Mamma Mia. Idea is we all get dressed up 70 style and have a Mamma Mia sing-a-long night. The plan was we would go out on the Saturday evening.. but to cut a long story short, we can only do the Mamma Mia thing if it is on Thursday 23rd July or Monday 27th July..(only time the cinema is available)

So girls we need feed back. What night suits best??? Are you at all interested it doing this and Julie how much is it costings? How many can the cinema hold? So leave a comment with what you think girls - Julie needs to know ASAP!!!

As for me I am sick - lying in bed with a sore throat, head and runny nose - also got a bit of a fever...but better getting sick now than when I have to go to Ireland:-) Talk soon folks

I'm good for the Monday night and the Thursday at a push. Looking forward to it whatever night.

Charlene said...

Hope you feel better tomorrow Laura! You need to get a few more early nights - now you're over 40!! ha ha

lisa said...

I cant do Monday nights im afraid, but Thursdays are fine. Sounds like a great idea, I havent seen mamma mia yet but its coming on sky at the weekend so maybe I should watch it and get up to speed on all the songs (Im not an Abba fan Im afraid so I wont know all the words)!

Ill do out wee song sheets then you can all sing to me "thank you for the music"

hope your feeling better soon......
One of us is crying
One of us is lying

Laura said...

Julie do they have Mamma Mia or do we have to bring that along

Ok girls Lisa cant Monday - Charlene can you on the Thursday???? You say its a bit pushed - how hard of a push would it be?

Julie what time do we need to be there?
Julie if he doesnt have the movie I have it and it has a sing-along version on it so the words come up on the screen so you can sing-a-long...hehe and we have to dress up too girls - right - everyone on for that?

Laura said...

P.S. Julie thanks for the song - you are very gifted hahahaha

You sure made me laugh

You crazy girl

and lisa you can aboslutely, positively not do it on a Monday - no way of changing plans???? Just checking out all the options here

john and julie mcbride said...

he said the mama mia is no prob and its really up to us what ever time we want to be there for.

john and julie mcbride said...

some good outfits on ebay. Rebeccas friends dad owns a joke shop and does loads of 70 stuff. I dont care if know one else dress's up i am!!!!! oooh i love the flares

Laura said...

So what if we made it 8pm on the Thursday - could you make it charlene for then???

or is that too late??? Lisa can you change the monday night at all???

Julie I am dressing up too I have been dreaming of this since Mamma Mia came out sooo I am going for it
hahaha

ebay or where is Rebeccas friends dad shop? I was also looking in elliots homepage but they seem do only do size 8 and 10 and thats pushing it hahaha

Laura said...

I want sparkle and flares hahaha

I want to look like Meryl when she is singing super trouper!! haha

what a blast we are going to have

lisa said...

Ive an ambulance exam that Monday night, if I dont do the exam I cant progress up a grade for at least another 6 months. Plus there is an examiner booked to take the exam. Its a written exam plus a set-up scenario with patients and equipment etc and I'll be assessed on how I deal with it, so I cant miss it. If you can only get the Monday night its ok, I can see you another day, maybe go shopping or something?

Etta said...

Probably complicates things... but there are two cinemas - you're probably thinking of the Tudor but Noel's twin brother Roy owns the Excelsior Cinema, just down the road.... it just seats about a dozen... so maybe if there are just a few of you, you don't need to be so restricted by dates? If you're interested in another date and the wee one would do, let me know - I work with Roy's daughter.

john and julie mcbride said...

john was on the phone with noels brother ROY and it diff seats 25

Rhonda said...

Hi girls hope you are all keeping well - don't want to throw a spanner in the works but I would like to go but definitely can't do the Thursday as on hols that week. Would be able to make Mon though. Thanks Rhonda

john and julie mcbride said...

john want to know can he come ??????????????????no????????no????????????NO he wants to dress up????????????no?????????nononononononononononoonononoononononononoonononoooononnonoononnonononononononooonooononnonononnonnononoononononononononononoflip floppin way

Laura said...

Off course he can come!!! but only if he wears an outfit like the men in Mamma Mia wear at the end of the film.

OK girls what should we do - Etta do you want to come??? It would be great, what night would suit you best? What about booking both nights - haha Me and Julie would turn up both nights haha and sing our hearts out haha

Oh girls help - we need to find a solution.

Thinking about myself - I can both but Monday is probably best as my dad usually goes to my sister-in-laws on a Thursday and we tag along, but I can always get dad to leave earlier so I make it home for the show. We still need to hear from Ruth and Lorraine....ok lets see what we can work out...and Julie the Saturday night is absolutely out - he cant rent it out there???

Laura said...

Lisa how long is the exam and what time does it start the Monday? Although thinking about it, it probably starts at 7 through 9 or something.....just wondering if we met at 8pm if the exam was finished by then???

Lorraine said...

Phew... just read through all that. Both nights suit me which is great as the Sat night didnt. Just let me know.

Delighted you're coming home Laura and can't wait to see you.

Laura said...

Ok I think it is going to be the monday - sorry Lisa - maybe you could come after the exam??? I have talked to lots of people and 2 people cant come on the Thursday (and Thursday was more awkward also for me)only 1 cant come on the Monday.

So Julie should we book the Monday evening? Now to find the time what about 8pm then if Lisa can get her exam over early she could come along and join the fun.

Should we met up for pizza, subway, mcdonalds or something before so we get a chance to chat and yes we have to be dressed up - a little or a lot, its up to you!! hahaha - I´m going all out 70 style - hopefully!! hahaha

Charlene said...

What about Rhoda? Any chance you could get a cheap flight girl?

I've texted Lyn. I know she's off work, just not sure if she's away for a few days at the moment, hopefully she'll be in touch soon.

Charlene said...

What about you too Pauline? Any chance you could make it for an Abba night out?

Ruth said...

Oh poo I can't do either night! We're away to Suny Scotland that week - but the week after suits me - Laura go and re-book yer flights woman! Oh by the way, our Rhoda just had another wee girl on Monday she's called Eva - so that's 3 weeans she's got and says never again ... til the next time ha ha!

Stuart and Pauline said...

I'll have to wait until nearer the time to see if I can make it. Probably not though. Sounds like it'll be a lot of fun though, even if it is Mama Mia!!! ;-P

No doubt will hear all about it later.

john and julie mcbride said...

All booked for the monday night about 7.30 - 8.00

lisa said...

Hope you all have a ball, Im sure you will! Laura remember to take loads of photos, cant wait to see you in your 70's costumes, Im sure you will look fantastic - enjoy!

Stuart and Pauline said...

Ruth, lovely news about Rhoda. What are the other children's names, ages etc...

Stuart and Pauline said...

Ha Lisa, you and I posted at the same time!!!!!!

lisa said...

Ha ha great minds Pauline!!

Laura said...

Lisa did you find out what time the exam was at?? Could you like maybe make it for some of the film, if it begins at 8pm???

No pressure - it would just be nice to have you there too.
otherwise we will have to do lunch some day.

So girls are we going out to eat before??

let me know - julie did you get it booked???

john and julie mcbride said...

yes booked for the mon between 7.30 and 8

Laura said...

great - monday 27th it is!!

Charlene said...

Right girls we need to sort out if we're eating out together before the flick.

lisa said...

I just watched the Mamma Mia trailer - you didnt tell me Colin Firth was in it - now that changes everything!!!!

Rhoda said...

Well I hope you all have a lovely time - don't think I'll be able to be there. I'll check it out, but need to see about the holidays.

Laura said...

Do you like colin firth lisa???

I am all for eating out before - so count me in on that. Maybe Rhonda knows a place near comber - bangor or newtownards that we can eat???

Laura said...

Rhoda and Pauline it would be great if you could make it:-)

Rhoda if you made it I would know you really, really love us - that you would come and sit through a Mamma Mia movie - well that would be true friendship:-) haha

I cant wait - it will be great fun. I was telling them all about it today at work - they think we are nuts!!
