    Am having second thoughts at the mo. From the pics and text on other meetups I really dont think I will fit in and I really dont have anything of interest to say. I dont know anyone but if I do decide to go I hope I will find you all.

    I did not have time to make hummus but bought two tubs of basic MrS (the one I often buy for me and family and it is nice), some apples, some tangerines, a bag of lettuce leaves and a bag of cherry tomatoes.

    Reverbe, what do you mean by

    We all think like this sometimes and believe me we all have a worry about not fitting in - I for one have never really "fitted in" anywhere, but still managed to make good friends who love me just the way I am.

    Your posts are always very interesting and you sound like an incredibly interesting person - please come along!

    Re. finding the place and finding us, I have sent you the link to directions and the link to what I am going to look like (more or less). Really hope to see you on the day - how will we recognise you? Wear a safety pin somewhere visible!
    Finally I'm an OAP and can travel free (in London at least!).

    Have a good day all to-morrow, so sorry that I can't be there as I have met so few of you who are going to-morrow....maybe when the weather gets better we might have another one(???).

    Reverbe...do go if you can at all, you will find something to say to someone, they will reply and Bob's your uncle!

    Would really like to partake of the picnic too...boohoo

    Aw Marie you will be bitterly missed - we really must organise a meet in Dublin, how's early June for you? Hopefully a few OSers will be able to make it by ferry and stay in the nice hostel where I stayed! Else, let us know when you can plan a visit to the UK and we will do one meet then!

    Have tried to send you a pm but your message box is full.

    Except for Caterina, whom I have met once and not for long, I haven't met anyone else either, in fact most haven't met before.
    Even if the only thing we all have in common is [STRIKE]being tight[/STRIKE] frugal, then thats enough :D

    PM me and I'll give you my mob, then you won't get lost, know who you are meeting and where.
    Not that I know where I'm going, but ioiwe does:D

    and the above applies to anyone else worried about getting lost, arriving without knowing who to approach etc;)

    Thinking on it I might make a sticky label badge with MSE on it.:D

    ps. I have plenty of paper plates and plastic knives/forks/spoons and kitchen roll napkins :)
  • Hiya OS meet up crew! I'm looking forward to the visit and will be wearing a very large safety pin - please do not mistake it for a nappy pin as it's a kilt pin -no really it is- and the charity shop where I volunteer kindly gave it me!
    see you tomorrow Pcb -take care
    May you fill up the great clutterbucket of life and may all of your leaks be in cheese sauce:D
    Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without:cool:
