abi1000 Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 right folks i need your creativity -well within reason!! i really want to come to this, but registration friday is the last day of one of my teaching placements, so i need to think of a reason why i can't go to it, and why i then get on a train at 9am to be in northampton for about 5!! so anyone creative enough to make it look normal?? plus i need to think of a plausible reason soon so i can book hotel rooms etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurenx Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 The only things I can think of are the obvious ones: Say you have a medical appointment, or an important family visit. Perhaps you could say that you have a wedding or christianing to go to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Kirst Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Say your friends friend is getting married that day in Northampton and she doesn't have anyone to take as her '+1' and you can't let her down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Kirst Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Oh yeah, I am also skipping school Thursday (my flights at 1), Friday and Monday I'm not giving an excuse, just bringing in an absent note. Of cousre I'm telling my friends where I'm going, but not like the teachers. In fact, I don't think they'd care much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebecca-is-cullen-addict Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 The easiest way to go is to say it's a family appointment. Don't say anything more. But look like a little puppy with sad eyes, they gonna imagine the worse : D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyT Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I'm skipping school on friday and monday for this con, too I'm just telling my school I'm sick and try to get my doctor to write me a note That's all right so long as nobody sees you. There was somebody at my company who called in sick to her boss one Friday. Three hours later, as she was getting off the train and walking up the platform in another city a couple of hundred miles away, she bumped into her boss's boss. She doesn't work for us any more...

That's so unlucky, thats why I don't like to lie when I take time off! I always worry that I'll get caught Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessLynn Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I'd agree with what someone else said is keep it as close to the truth as possible so if you are seen somewhere people can't question. I think your best bet is to say you have a wedding Friday evening in Northampton, it's a reason to go during the day to be somewhere by 5 and if you get caught in transit your headed to Northampton and going to a hotel. Your only problem will be if they turn up to the convention too, but then they will probably keep your secret :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CompletelyCullenized Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 My friends and I are skipping school on the Friday too We all seem to have fallen ill on the same day Who would've thought it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abi1000 Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 wow guys!!! you've come up with some fab excuses for me!! now how do i have the balls to go through with it ????? haha! im sure ill figure something! i really do hope i can come along!

JaneDoe Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I absolutely agree with everyone who says keep it as close to the truth as possible. Luckily I don't have to lie because I'll be out of work and driving there in the afternoon. I'd be inclined not to say a wedding because someone might ask to see photos. But if you say it's an importany family birthday....like great auntie Mabels 100th birthday you might be better. Then you can show random pics of US....by the way, I will not stand in as G-A Mabel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timpe Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 (edited) The easiest way to go is to say it's a family appointment. Don't say anything more. But look like a little puppy with sad eyes, they gonna imagine the worse : D Definitely the best option. The more detail you give the more likely you are to mess it up or get lots of questions. If it's a male teacher you have to talk to, then the trump card is always something mumbled about a "female health issue" - they won't ask for details. Thinking about the level of estrogen that's going to be bubbling at the sight of the Twilight boys, I wouldn't even class that as a lie Edited November 18, 2008 by timpe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abi1000 Posted November 23, 2008 Author Share Posted November 23, 2008 haha well someone will have to stand in as great aunty mabel!! like the female oestrogen thing, cos that wouldnt be a lie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
