OS meet up?

Caterina

A-sav I am adding you to the list of people coming and am also pm-ing you my mobile no. so when you arrive just give us a call (or else go around looking for a group of strange people, mostly women I think, wearing a safety pin very prominently on lapels, jumpers, hats etc... and one wearing a zombie T-shirt!

Hi everyone who is going to Ikea - does anyone need or want anything in particular? I am a hoarder who finds it easier to get rid of things if I know someone needs them so if you need/collect/covet anything in particular then please mention it beforehand (by pm?) and if I have it I will bring it along - meaning things like lifestyle/garden mags, cuttings of perennial plants, crime books, buttons, no good saying "cash"!
Roll on Thursday!

D&DD

That's very kind blossom same here folks I will be bringing lots of garden mags and if there are any seeds you need please let me know I have all sorts mainly veg but a few flowers as the OH says we have to grow some

Caterina

I shall bring lots of seeds as well, some are old but might (or might not) germinate, but some are still well within date. I have used some of the old ones and they have worked but I have limited space so am happy to share them around.

I might have some books or mags with me, not sure yet. I have a few books that are left over from other OS meets and I shall bring them, a few from Karin Slaughter, anybody interested?

vouchersrme

I have made some shopping bags, but looking at the list need to make more.lol

D&DD

I must book my haircut tomorrow so I look vaguely human I get so used to just tying it back ooh two treats in a week.. go me :rotfl:

Actually there's something you may be able to bring me, pretty please; if anyone has houseleeks or similar, just one rosette from yours - I am trying to make a green roof from them and as much variety in colour as possible makes it more interesting. They travel well so just wrap in a poke of newspaper, no pot req'd. Cheers!

Now I'm going to feel scruffy, tried to book to have mine cut and roots done but she's not well, so hair not been cut for 6 months and I have 1 1/2 " of roots. If I do zombie make up you may not notice

We had a green roof on our shed till it collapsed in a storm a few years ago, rescued what I could and house leeks survived. I have a few other alpines that were on there, slow spreading things are they any good too or just the leeks?

If anyone has a cheap bread maker or dehydrator they no longer need I'd be happy to pay for it. Tried freecycle and ebay but they always go for more than I can afford.

Got any old pillow cases? I'd be really grateful for them.
I make them into dresses that a friend of mine gives to girls in Gambia. She runs a very small charity there (and lives there, she's an ex social worker from the UK) in a very rural bit well off the tourist trail. I've been there and seen what she's achieved and how much she is loved by the locals.
Doesn't matter what colour/style/condition I will be able to do something with them, any marks etc can be covered with applique or pockets. Someone else on MSE found a great pattern to turn them into simple dresses.

Any succulents would be great thanks, I just didn't want to sound greedy!
Yes I have pillowcases to bring you, whatever your hair is like!:D

Caterina

Sorry no houseleeks or succulents to share but might have pillowcases for Annie, need to have a good look.

Vouchersrsme that sounds lovely but don't worry about me re. shopping bags, I used to make Morsbags so have quite a few. I am sure the others will be pleased though.

Annie in sympathy with you I won't do my roots before Thursday then, so we can look old together LOL

Soon now, got to get organised!
