Just wanted to wish all the Northern members a good meet tomorrow with laughs and smiles with old friends and new!
 
Hope you all have an excellent meet 🙂
 
hope you all have a good time
 
Am reallly unwell today. Everything hurts - from my eye sockets and knee joints to my head and throat! My nose is like Rudolph's and is constantly streaming as are my eyes! I am honestly, genuinely gutted as had planned to be brave and come and meet you all, but I don't feel up to the journey into Manchester! Have contemplated driving, but with 5 weeks to Christmas, parking will be manic and I'm not sure you'd all welcome me with open arms anyway! So sorry to let you all down - I promise to be at the next one! A very sad and sorry Katie 😡
 
I've been to most of the meets this year, but sorry Glasgow and Manchester ere a bit to far for this old man to make it. But if you all have half as much fun as I had, then you will have a great time, enjoy yourselves.

Katie. Sorry your not well enough to attend, it would have cheered you up, couple of cocktails and you would have forgotten your cold :D

Thanks for that John. Am gutted I missed it, but only just mustered the energy to get out of bed at 3pm! Something unheard of for me!😱 Katie
 
Just back from meeting and it was a lovely chatty afternoon. Venue was not as manic as last year so that made it more enjoyable.

Sorry no pictures as I kept thinking through the week to check the batteries in my camera but only did it about half an hour before leaving - to discover they are totally flat.

Lovely seeing Hazel and glad she was able to get away for a break.

We were a select group and always good to see people for the first time.

It was my first time at a forum meet. For those of you who have never been to a forum meet & wondered what it's like it was very relaxed and enjoyable. I was made to feel very welcomed by the people who were there.

Was great to meet up with you Alan (Northerner), Diane (DizzyDi), Hazel & Margaret (MargB) 🙂
 
Thanks Gill - you fitted right in. Being a smaller group made us more together.
 
I've had a great time today catching up with Alan, Hazel, Margaret and Gill.

So sorry cazcot (carol), Katie as and Monica couldn't make it xxx

I'm really sorry I missed it too, Di, honestly. But have felt really rough today. You really wouldn't have wanted to be in a confined space with my germs! Not to mention the fact that I look awful - red eyes, nose etc! Perhaps we could go together to one of the next ones? Katie.x

Sleep soundly Alan x
 
Glad you had a good day. Pity it clashed with the Diabetes Wellness Day in Hartlepool organised by the Diabetes Reasearch Wellness Foundation - it was a good day too.
