the only thing I am very sorry for is that I was not a very good hostess for savingforoz
I had a lovely comfy bed to sleep in, a delicious curry and cider Saturday evening, a hot shower and yummy breakfast in the morning...plus two gorgeous cats to make a fuss of. In my view, you and Chris are wonderful hosts xxxxxxLife is not a dress rehearsal.0 -
Glad that the meet went well and I'm sorry that I couldn't make it. I look forward to seeing the photos!!Sealed Pot Challenge #021 #8 975.71 #9 £881.44 #10 £961.13 #11 £782.13 #12 £741.83 #13 £2135.22 #14 £895.53 #15 £1240.40 #16 £1805.87 #17 £1820.01 declared0

Couldn't agree more about the hospitality Savingforoz....sorry I missed you yesterday, next time hopefully...was lovely to meet JackieO, Ivyleaf and spouse, Rzl and LilacLily for the first time and to renew acquaintance with Caterina and Chris...will find it difficult to miss a meet now even if it does mean a flight and finding my way around London....very proud of ourselves that we managed to find our way back from SE3 to N5 today....I would have had 2 cats hidden in my bag too if Ryanair would let me bring them home to meet Thunder and Sile!
Much love to all "we'll meet again"!

Pic 1 shows all the OSers except meanmarie who was delayed on public transport. From left: savingforoz, LilacLillie, Caterina, ivyleaf, me, JackieO.
In Pic 4, meanmarie is second from left (edited to say: sorry it's such a rubbish pic of you, MM! Others took a couple of shots - hope we can get a decent one up)
In the "men" pics, from left, it's Mr ivyleaf, Mr Caterina, and Mr meanmarieOperation Get in Shape

Thanks bargainrzl great pics, well done for taking them.We all look as though we were having a good time, as we were. I have just sent some of them to my eldest DD (Shelly) just to prove that we were a fairly harmless lot.You know what an old fusspot she is bless her.Convinced that her old Mum was going to be spirited away to the white slave trade by meeting up in the 'sarf east' But no, I had a lovely afternoon and everyone was so friendly .I can highly reccommend it, my little grandsons (Jack,Henry & Mikey) enjoyed the crayon books and we did all the puzzles when I got to their house for Dinner that night. LilacLillie thank you for the book I have been reading it ( another book for my collection !)
Caterina. you were brilliant considering you were still feeling a bit crook I hope you get rid of that cough before Christmas
Ivyleaf Thank you for helping out by drinking my share of the gin !!!It was great to put faces to names.
Savingforoz I hope you got home without too much trouble You had a long way to travel I only had 40 odd miles.
Meanmarie It was great to meet you, and I do hope we meet again you are such a lovely bubbly person
I will definitely try to get to any more meets as we all had such a laugh

Hi all,
You are all very kind with your sweet words, especially Marie and savingforoz for your patience as guests of lil'ol'wreck me - I am glad that you felt well cared for even if my energy levels were not at their best.
Thanks Bargain Rzl for the beautiful photos! I hope they will encourage more OSers to join us at later meetings!
I daren't propose a January date yet but if anyone else wants to, feel free!
Love to all xxxFinally I'm an OAP and can travel free (in London at least!).0 -
Thanks Rzl, for postig the photos! Looking at them, it occurs to me that apart from Ulick we could be in a commercial for Specsavers , all there with our nice glasses on
Caterina - Take things as easy as possible for a while, hon. Hope to see you again soon!0
