I'm not going to say that I hope you have a good time tomorrow, because from my past experiences of these meets, I know you will. I do miss attending these days because they are such good fun and great face to face friendships are made. Safe travelling everyone.

John.

Aw, it's a good job she's not reading this! She's all tucked up for an early night - so excited to meet you all, especially those who acted as her hosts! She's looking forward to telling you where you've been going wrong since she left, and showing you how to set up your new pump and sensor, Susan! 😱 😉
 
Hope you all enjoy your day putting faces to names and that this meet proves to be the best ever. Alan you could all occupy the pavement outside if it gets too stuffy indoors. PS. and throttle that little modom of a deceptive DF for me please if there's anything left of her by then!!!
 
Enjoy yourselves and have a safe journey. If you could give the DF a good thum errr cuddle for me, I'd be most appreciative.

It's a Wetherspoon's - we'd be choked by all the smokers outside! 😱 🙂
 
Enjoy all! Suns got his hat on for you x
 
Just received an email that my tshirt has just been shipped, so I think it's reasonable to suspect that it won't be arriving before the Meet, unfortunately! :(
 
Just got back from Southampton. Sorry to have missed you. We got there at 11.15 am and waited till 12 noon but couldn't see anyone from the group. Even asked behind the bar. Couldn't wait too long as we had to get back for a big family shin dig. Not wasted morning as it was nice remembering old times in So'ton . We walk down the High St but were so busy chatting about old times we ended up walking past the pub and got as far as the water Doh !. Anyway it was a nice walk back up the road and enjoyed our drink. Swift half Gunniess for other half and a slim tonic for me. Five years since our last visit to So'ton. Hope to meet you all another time. I hope all went well and you had a great time.
 
Just got safely back, lovely to meet everyone. I can report that we put a lot of effort into the Diabetes Fairy's Continuing Professional Development. So sorry you missed us, Muddlethru, we were there, I was the last to arrive, about 11.30.
Here's the only pic I took that came out, (sorry Michele, the one of you came out really dark, I think the light behind you scuppered it!)image.jpeg
 
65 mins to get there, 120 mins home😱 - small accident blocked one lane - no one hurt but it slowed things down a lot.

It was good to meet friends and put more faces to names. The world of diabetes should be a better place after our joint input.:D

I arrived about 11.15 too. Sorry not to meet you @muddlethru

The DF has been seriously messing around with me today. I think I should have been more assertive with her🙄
 
I'm home, not that i had to travel far lol It was so lovely to see everyone and muddlethru shame we didn't see you. We were there. I got there about 11.15am.

Left to Right - Robin, PotterSusan and Northerner

Great - thanks a bunch - so even tho I wasn't there with you it's good to put a face to at least 3 names now - none of you look anything like I had in mind but I do like what I see :D thanks for sharing your photo Mrs MR - Hope you all had safe journeys home x
 
So sorry to have missed you @muddlethru :( We were sat in the raised section just after the entrance. Glad to hear you had a good reminisce around the Old Town as compensation 🙂 Hopefully, there will be more opportunities and we'll devise a better plan for recognition! 🙂

Great to meet friends old and new, putting the world to rights 🙂 thanks to all who came, always such a pleasure 🙂 Sorry to hear your journey home was such a pain, Susan :(

Here's my picture (unfortunately taken after @Janine had left): L-R @pottersusan, @Mrs Mad Ronin and @Robin 🙂
