Group Of Mums Plan A Long Lunch In 2 years Time When Their Diaries Align

After 137 messages, including one passive-aggressive “happy to go with the flow x” from someone who absolutely was not, a date has finally been set for the annual ‘Mums Gone Wild’ long lunch.

The Advocate understands it will take place on the second weekend of February, 2028. 

Despite the February date being a full two years away, the mums insist they’re locked in, won’t lose steam, and definitely won’t let another event go in over the top of it. 

While the group chat has returned to relative calm, sources confirm the scheduling process did expose fault lines within the friendship circle.

“Look, I’m all for inclusivity,” said one mum, who requested anonymity, “but if your son’s under-9s cricket presentation is preventing 11 adults from having rosé, that’s on you.”

It’s this last sentiment that has actually led some of the mums to splinter off and secretly organise their own smaller luncheon, one that takes place in 3-weeks time.   

“But don’t tell the other mums that, we’re pretending it was spontaneous.” 

More to come.
