Be Excellent To Each Other

BOOKED!

I have booked both buildings, so we now comfortably sleep 34 people.

I got the price down from the advertised £2323 to £2100. So if we can get 30 people to come it will be 70 quid each.

I need to pay a deposit of 600 quid in the next week, with the balance in September.

So...

People need to commit to coming to this, and give me 25 quid each as a deposit

People are still allowed to decide later on, but it would be really, really helpful to cover the deposit, as I'm bloody skint at the moment. Any Londoners coming for drinks tomorrow ngiht are more than welcome to give me the cash there. Everyone else, PM me for bank details and you can transfer the cash over.

This is going to be extremely awesome.

Tomorrow night?

Warning, meet contains myp.

There appears to be little planning there.

Planning added. Now stop derailing this thread.

Can I give you the £££ at the next non-quiz quiz meet?

How do I spirit pennies at your face via long away means?

I have aquired a murder mystery game...

I have a Racing night DVD set, come to think of it.

Joans. In the bedroom. With a ceiling fan.

Excellent, my sister has pig and camel racing too.

What a coincidence. I've acquired a pair of black leather gloves and a length of piano wire.

I am in fo'sho. What time do we have it from on Friday? Would it be sensible to take the afternoon off work?

Curio - I've asked Moptikakakakakakaka to give your our money tomorrow. Make dye he doesn't forget.

Does your presence hinge on this memorable colouring?

I was thinking going down early would be worthwhile.

Oops!

Not sure. I'll ask him when I call to confirm that I received the papers he's sending me.

I'll try to negotiate to as early as possible. Last time it wasn't until the afternoon, but I'll see what I can do. I'm definitely thinking of taking the Friday off work to go up.

Put me down as a possible.

Thanks

I'm definitely a fan of taking at least the Friday afternoon off.

If not the entire week.

Will drop money through your letterbox later Andy. Will of course be able to offer you a lift at the time too.

Sat 16th wolves are playing west ham at home, so I may pop over for that in the afternoon.

I'm not in tonight, so anything you pop through the letterbox had better have my name on it and be in an envelope!

Re: lift - are you planning on taking any time off work for this, be it a half day or full day off on the Friday?

Probably the friday full day. I'll have had the previous two weeks off so the staff will be pissed off, but minions be damned.

I'll see what I can do deposit-wise but I'm struggling for cash at the moment.

Thanks for the monies from those who have paid. The first page will be kept updated.

Question: Some people cannot use internet banking. If they pay me via Paypal, and I try to withdraw that money, will Paypal steal much of it? If so, how much?

If that's a prohibitive amount, are tehre any other decent ways to get the money from them to me?

IIRC, you can 'gift' it as paypal, and the payee can pay the fee, ensuring that the recipient gets the full amount.

There is no fee for a personal, not-for-profit transfer, IIRC.

Is there a credit card fee?

3.4% plus 20p, apparently.

No fee if you've got a linked bank account or money in your paypal account.

Oh, jolly good. I'll sort that out for those unable to pay in other ways.

Cheers, fellas.

Sorry - the sender has to have a linked bank account or money in their account for it to be free.

ai haz payd

If I can haz PayPal to yez Andy Bear that would be mucho excellence. Much betterer than cheque, yes? Yes yes.

I do appear to have a Paypal account.

How do I go about receiving payment? I've not used it before for anything other than ebay.

Just tell people the email address that is associated with the account, and they can send money to it.

You give me your email address, I send magic pennies to you. Funds instantly appear in your PayPal balance. You have to add your bank details to transfer that balance to your bank account.

Hey, as this is a house party should we all grow stupidly huge flat tops? You know, like whichever one it was in Kid and Play?




What? That's the only place I know of such a ridiculous hair do.

"..."

Payment sent!

We'll have to be super careful not to leave a big scratch on the coffee table, too.

Did someone invite Noddy Holder?

Received! Front page updated!

Some money should have winged its way into your bank account.

Front Page Updatorized!

People on the interested list! You should confirm your attendance and send me monies! That would be super helpful!

People not on the list at all! You should decide to come!

Can I pay when I get paid please? (end of next week)

Thanks

Anyone near this route want a lift?

Alternatively, Londoners getting the afternoon off are welcome to come to Bedford on the train with me and go from there (but that might be daft compared to just getting the train straight there).

[edit]Although it will only cost you £25 to get a return ticket to Bedford, but £55 to get to Derby (and then you're still not where you need to be).

If you're only taking the afternoon off, won't you be going from London?
