I loved it and Im so glad I got to go! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uk-beetup-loveisstranges-leaving-do#post-1370838 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 14:37:45 +0000 Cherrybee 1370838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@illumina: @Ree723: And me, and me!! Bath/Bristol are miles away from me but Bath is a beautiful city for a weekend away so I will book a hotel for a couple of nights and bring LO and DH with me for a lovely weekend! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uk-beetup-loveisstranges-leaving-do#post-1370676 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 13:59:17 +0000 Ree723 1370676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@illumina: That would be so awesome! Once we finally get there (at some point this year, preferably sooner rather than later), we'll have to plan a meet up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uk-beetup-loveisstranges-leaving-do#post-1370466 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 12:59:45 +0000 illumina 1370466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ree723: that means you'll probably be the closest Bee to me! And we also pop back up to Bath/Bristol as we have a lot of friends there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uk-beetup-loveisstranges-leaving-do#post-1370351 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 12:36:16 +0000 Ree723 1370351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: I know, we're so excited to get out of Oz and back to the northern hemisphere! DH's family is all in Berkshire so we're ideally looking in the Bristol, Southampton, Reading triangle. We've got some job leads to follow up and are starting to house hunt so it's all very exciting right now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uk-beetup-loveisstranges-leaving-do#post-1370325 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 12:31:39 +0000 Cherrybee 1370325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ree723: Ahh, that's exciting! Where are you hoping to move to? Which bit? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uk-beetup-loveisstranges-leaving-do#post-1370321 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 12:31:04 +0000 MsLipGloss 1370321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: right then! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uk-beetup-loveisstranges-leaving-do#post-1370317 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 12:30:29 +0000 Cherrybee 1370317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: No, it's all just do - as in "what are we going to do today?". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uk-beetup-loveisstranges-leaving-do#post-1370309 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 12:29:32 +0000 Ree723 1370309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol!! I totally forgot people wouldn't recognise the use of the word 'do' in this context, this is cracking me up! Definitely a sign I've been abroad too long!</p> <p>I know loveisstrange is happy to be heading back home, but just as she's leaving, we're hoping to be moving over! One American leaves, another steps in :-) Hope you girls get something sorted, and of course you must post pictures! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uk-beetup-loveisstranges-leaving-do#post-1370291 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 12:23:53 +0000 MsLipGloss 1370291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: Wait, so do (as in the event) is pronounced the same way as 'do (as in hair do?) I was thinking do (the event) = doe (baby deer) and that 'do (the hair do) = due (like due date). *scratcheshead* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uk-beetup-loveisstranges-leaving-do#post-1370267 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 12:13:37 +0000 Cherrybee 1370267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunny: Yeah, it's another word for party, I guess. You might have a "hen do" (bachelorette party) or a "leaving do" (a leaving party) you might get invited to someones "evening do" (evening wedding reception) but not the full day. You might go on your work Christmas do! A "do" usually takes place in a venue ("the pub will be heaving tonight, they've got a do on upstairs") as opposed to someone's house .... It's also a hair style "Look at her hairdo!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uk-beetup-loveisstranges-leaving-do#post-1370214 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 12:00:42 +0000 illumina 1370214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunny: I'm sorry, but this made me LOL! I take it this is an English-only thing? ;) Yes, it's a meetup--long O. We also have the Hen-do and Stag-do, which are our versions of the Batchelorette (sp?) parties. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uk-beetup-loveisstranges-leaving-do#post-1370203 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 11:59:02 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1370203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to come :( I need to find myself a plane and a pilot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uk-beetup-loveisstranges-leaving-do#post-1370196 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 11:57:48 +0000 sunny 1370196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What's a "do"? Is it another word for "meetup"? How do you say it? Long o or short o? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uk-beetup-loveisstranges-leaving-do#post-1370072 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 11:28:16 +0000 regberadaisy 1370072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: awww this is so lovely!!! &lt;3</p> <p>Technically she's an American so she's not a traitor. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uk-beetup-loveisstranges-leaving-do#post-1369988 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 11:06:21 +0000 Cherrybee 1369988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right you lovely people! We need to arrange a meetup to wave off our American friend, Loveisstrange. :heart: She is going home - and leaves in mid April (rotten traitor). </p> <p>Who's in?</p> <p>We need a location and a date! Discuss!! </p>
