The money from DWP has hit my account so I will definitely be there. Yay!!! :D
 
Just picked up the tickets. I'm also going to buy some new thermal socks as I have no confidence the weather will have improved by then. I'm so looking forward to this.

Fab...make sure you pack all your thermals!!! Nothing surprises me my more about our weather. It'll be so nice to put faces to names :D
 
I want to laugh at the idea of wearing thermals but the weather here today is so cold ... Will probably wear boots although then being on the train for 3 hours means it can be uncomfortable if the heating is up.

Still, looking forward to meeting up but slightly concerned you are all going to chat away and I will only understand one word in ten. Had a cousin who lived in Glasgow and I had not realised she changed her accent when talking to me until one time I phoned and she mis-heard, thought I was somebody else and blethered on and on. Could have been me saying 'pardon' every 10 seconds that made her realise I was not who she thought I was.

Mine arrives at Queen Street just after 12, but I think some of you are arriving at Central instead. It would be great if someone could meet me, I haven't been in Glasgow since 1978 and have no sense of direction at all.
 
I get in to Queen Street at 10:15 and could come back to Queen Street at about 12:00 and meet people I think Hazel is meeting people at central station

Hi Louise, welcome to the forum 🙂 The forum was set up originally by a lady who had had Type 1 for over 30 years and never met another Type 1! I hope you enjoy reading and sharing experiences, and that we might get to see you at one of the future meets - they are always such good and uplifting experiences, everyone is really friendly 🙂

I look forward to hearing more from you 🙂
 
Thanks Donald, think Hazel is without a pc at the moment! Will be good to meet you all.

Hi Louise, welcome to the forum where you will find plenty of other T1s discussing everything!
 
Thanks Donald. I'll be wearing a dirty raincoat and carrying a copy of The Times. :D

Actually, I'll be all colour coordinated, in Lilac, right down to the nails and walking sticks. So all you need to do is watch out for a fat old biddy tottering along with two purple paisley sticks and a lost look on her phiz.

I'm really looking forward to meeting some of you at last. Louise, you'd be welcome to join us if it's not too much short notice.
