hosue warming

[baratron]

After much delay and faffage, we are pleased to announce a date for our house warming party. It is:
Saturday 16th October, from 5pm onwards

Events will include:
CAKE!
Multiplayer console games (console to be decided).
Write your own obscene fridge poetry (after 8pm).
Some kind of board game (probably Cranium, as that works well in teams and doesn't require too much brain).
Fluxx and/or other card games (to be decided, & depending on what people bring).
Striptease by wuzzie[*].
Waffles & ice-cream.

* Party will go on in 4 rooms including the kitchen, so there will be some rooms with music and/or games and others that are quiet for talking. Lots of space means you can also clump into little cliques and not talk to anyone outside your social group, if you want ;)
* No smoking anywhere on pain of pain (non-consensual). If you want to smoke, you can go and stand on the pavement, and we will laugh at you (especially if it's raining).
* Vast quantities of junk food will be provided, mostly vegan. Would appreciate prior notification of food allergies, especially anyone who is allergic to soy/soya or severely gluten intolerant.
* Soft drinks will be provided but you'll have to bring your own alcohol.
* Kids welcome until 8pm.
* Parking nearby is extremely limited until 6.30pm & costs us money. It's free after 6.30.
* We live ~10 minutes walk (downhill) from Norbiton railway station or ~10 minutes walk (flat) from either of the Kingston bus stations.

Are you coming?

... sick-cloths, mops, edible toys, baby books...

And Linnea is soya-intolerant as well as dairy-intolerant, but not allergic so it's only a medium-sized deal rather than a large one.

But I have no idea whether we'll really make it or not. I'd like to, obviously.

I can probably do something with oat milk, & I might even be able to get oat ice cream if I start trying now. While I've heard of a lot of people who have issues with both dairy and soy, I'd be quite surprised if she had problems with oat as well. Especially as it's going through you first.

I need to take the product information leaflets down to our friendly local healthfood shop, but after that I can pass them on to you. Or if you don't mind me giving your name & address to the manufacturers, I can get them to send you the information directly, along with a list of any shops near you that already stock it.

If she has an issue with oats, my porridge-for-breakfast routine of the past 4 months might be changing... So no, I don't think she has. But to be honest, I generally just avoid dairy-centric food, rather than trying to substitute. But if you find oat ice-cream, I wanna know all about it.

Go ahead and give them all my info. We still don't know if we'll be coming.

Re: TENS machine: I used one during labour and it saved my life; they were saying "epilepsy" because they didn't want to admit it could be Yet Another Stress Reaction. But I would be very surprised if it would help with perineal pain; I will ask when I next speak to a doctor.
