Thoroughly enjoyed myself yesterday, I was so much better than when I came last year that I was able to join in more, plus knowing a few of you already helped. Paul enjoyed it too and is still talking about some of the conversations he had (in a good way). Lovely to meet friends old and new. :D
 
Hehe, good photo, I popped out at just the wrong moment :(

Thanks for a great afternoon everyone, lovely to meet you all. Had a great laugh Suze and Jenny 🙂 Thanks Monica and Jenny for the pump demos 🙂

Well I did say, Nat's gorn orf to the loo but it fell on deaf ears. I'll shout louder in future.

I thought after, wonder if Les Girls were a bit taken aback at the sight of the belly, not to mention the grey knickers but in me own defence, they ARE grey and fairly new. (Here's a thing, they are but one pair of 2 packs of three I bought in a Supermarket whilst on holiday last year, for the reason I'd forgotten to replenish the stock in outr motorhome. Yes, I do odd bits of washing whilst away but 3 pairs to last nearly 4 weeks, is just not ON IMHO. The main reason why I mention it, is because this could really only happen to me. Because at the time both we and the supermarket were in - Cap d'Agde .... :confused: ROFL)

And I enjoyed meeting everyone too, though to those I didn't have a proper conversation with, I apologise profusely. My trouble is, I just talk too much !

Tez escaped from this picture too, but is on others

Oops, I totally forgot about Tez, that's really unforgivable considering I'd been sitting next to him most of the time😱

You're welcome Natalie. Here's the link to the YouTube video how to attach the cannula to your tum. I'm afraid it's in french, but you don't really need the words.

Thanks Monica 🙂
 
I got home safely lol:D



Great day everybody now looking forward to glasgow.


And mrs YP says we are definitely flying😱



Are you sure :D? I get diazepam from the doc when I fly...
 
Dear All,

It was lovely meeting you all - I had a great time. I look forward to the next time I can make one of these meets!

Regards Dodger
 
Hee hee Dodger, I searched the memory banks but couldn't compute who you were on the Forum. Why don't I know this chap? I like him, I can get on with him ..... Until Northie captioned the photos of course, when dawn broke with a resounding crash .....
 
You beat me home by ten minutes Carol! 🙂 Excellent day, with a really good turnout - thanks to everyone who came! Just had a 2.7 after walking in the door, and had a 2.4 on the train!

I fell asleep on the last train. Fortunately I was getting of at the last stop!!

Great to meet everyone!

I would have replied earlier, but I haven't (yet) got a login to this forum on my new laptop (bought the day before the meet).

It was great to see some of the forum people at last, although myself and William (who's not a forum member, he just came along to support me) got lost on the way from New Street to the pub -- and on the way back, although we found New Street easily enough, we somehow managed to get lost again on the way from there to Moor Street -- a distance of only about 400 yards. 😱

Looking forward to London in November. 🙂

Oops!! Glad you found us though in the end.

I guess you won't get lost in London.

Sorry to hear you had problems on the way back Robert. As Monica says, hopefully London will be more straightforward (although that is where I usually get lost!). Glad you could make it and I look forward to seeing you in London 🙂
 
It was nice meeting you. The forum birthday meet will be my chance to get lost lol.:D
