    Thank you all for coming and making it yet another lovely, successful meet. It was good to see you all and especially to see everybody enjoying themselves and making connections. The usual OS magic was definitely in the air.

    Will update first post with details of March meetup in Ikea Croydon but not yet as I am gong to sleep, good night all x
    Finally I'm an OAP and can travel free (in London at least!).

    Ok at last I managed to get on the laptop to update for the next meetup, which is going to be on

    Saturday 16th March from 11am at Ikea Croydon.

    Full details as always in the first post of the thread.

    Hope to see lots of OSers! It is always such fun and very heartwarming to meet old and new faces, swap ideas, vouchers, books, seeds, yarn or just chat with likeminded people.

    Please let me know if you are coming and I shall update the list in the first post. Thank you.

  • I won't be able to make it on 16th so have a meatball for me (wonder what they're made of)

    HI all glad that you had a good meet....would love to make Croyden but think that its completely out of my scope as 2013 is proving to be a very expensive year for me, money is tighter than a drum!

    Blossomhill what a pity, we decided on Ikea with you in mind! Also other reasons of course but we said "Saturday in Ikea she will be able to make it". Never mind, there will be other opportunities. No chance of me tasting a meatball, in Ikea or anywhere else!

    Marie come on, just get a cheap flight and stay at ours, no need to pay for food or accommodation! You know you want to! Haven't seen you for AEONS!

    Oh no! I am on a very OS repurposing craft course that day, will show you the end result when we next meet up (Brighton in the late Spring?) - haven't forgotten to put you aside some tobacco tins

    Have to agree Cattie -

    I've eaten horse, tis very nice -

    but, as others have said - the important thing is informed choice
