These events are good ! Hope it goes well 😎 Most people learn something
 
I'm going to go to this. It will be my first time doing this but i am actually looking forward to it. It's local to me so that makes it easier 🙂
 
I recieved my programme yesterday. How bad is it that i'm actually excited about going? It's my first one and i am looking forward to it, not just for the education side of things but meeting others 🙂
 
:( Should be with you soon, i know they posted them out a few days ago. So hopefully Mr/Mrs Postman has yours. But yes still time 🙂

Hobie, yes that's what i'm excited about, knowledge is power and all that 🙂
 
This is next Saturday 😱

OMG i don't know why, but i still thought it was weeks away, gosh time flies when you are having fun......or something 😎

So who's going?

*raises hand* :D
 
A very interesting day, and very well attended 🙂 And I met Mrs Mad, who is lovely! 🙂
 
But is she? (mad I mean)

Come on, you can tell me, I won't pass it on ......
 
"You have to explain why you're mad, even if you're not mad" — Pink Floyd 😉

(On one's Wikia profile is a field called "I am". This is supposed to be completed as "male" or "female", but some people have fun with it, such as "far from home". In my case I put "going slowly mad". :D)
 
It was a fab day indeed and really pleased that so many turned out for it. I absolutely enjoyed myself and meeting northerner was an absolutely pleasure. It made the day even better :D

Aww, thank you 🙂 You'll be pleased to know that my meter just needed recharging - typical! I've had it two years and charged it twice! 🙄

Forgot to add, I also met Kim and the team from PEDS (Ponies Educating Diabetics and Siblings) - a great local charity 🙂

Oh good, i am pleased it just needed charging. I still can't believe it went when it did, like you say typical.

Yes Kim, it was lovely meeting you, even if it was briefly. Very lovely lady as well 🙂

I guessed totally right with my insulin for the meal though - I was 4.9 mmol/l when I got back, spot on! :D
