    JackieO - Looking forward to meeting you, i have a flowery stick as well but am hoping we'll be able to park close enough not to need it or I shall have to walk in and announce "Hello, I'm NOT JackieO!" :D

    Mine is pink, and chosen by my 8 year old DGS Henry as he said Granny you have got to look 'cool' .I shall be wearing a grey & white checked coat to match my grey and white hair:D:rotfl:

    I am only on page 10 of this thread, it is honestly great, MSE should publish these threads as stories! Oh the drama in the lead up to the first meet....Annie's car would not start!!! So interesting to see people busy for various reasons and people with best intentions not being able to make it!! Then as time went on, that woman in the cafe OMG i can't believe she said that, especially in these economic times you think she would want your custom, and then Cat's frozen shoulder :( Oh the drama was all too much and I had to come and post before I read on to find out how Bristol went! .......................

    Hi Ya Nelski, sounds like I am an old soak:rotfl::rotfl:,I'd love to have a drop of 'Mother's ruin' but sadly I will be driving. so its coke for me on Sunday:mad:.Still it will be good to meet up with some old faces and some new ones as well. I am really looking forward to it.We did have a good time in Blackpool though didn't we, lots of vino collapsio:D
    I have just got back from picking up my DD and her pals from her firms Christmas thrash.They have all had a great time and I am just pleased that everyone all got home safe.My DD is almost 40 but it seemed like the years had dropped away tonight and I was back to taking all her and her daft pals home and making sure they all got indoors o.k.
    I am off to the land of Nod now ,
    good night God Bless

    Rzl might bring her camera, and hopefully Marie will have hers as she came over here for a wedding :D

    Nice to see you dropping in Nels :D

    JackieO - Not to worry, I'll have some gin on your behalf ;) My stick is dark blue (though I may not have it with me) and I'll probably be wearing a silver grey fake-sheepskin jacket and grey or black trousers. Can't find the safety pins! Has your DD got a hangover today?

    Reverbe - Not to worry, there will be other meets :) Enjoy the football, and I hope Fulham do well for you :j

    Hello all

    Goodness, I just batted my eyelids and everybody posted at once! Great to see so many posts keeping the home fires going!

    Sorry for those of you who cannot make the meet but please do organise one in your neck of the wood, for me it is a great excuse to travel!

    Looking forward to tomorrow and have absolutely NO IDEA what I am going to wear, so you just got to look out for me!

    BTW I haven't yet found a safety pin, either!

    Love to all xxx
    Finally I'm an OAP and can travel free (in London at least!).
