    I have just joined here and there are so many posters i doubt i will know many by the time this party comes around, but if i do i may make the trip down, last time i stayed in Edinburgh i used the secret hotel finder on lastminute, got a room which was normally about 150GBP for 60, so would definatly use this again, and its pretty easy to match up the hotel before you pay for it, although this may not be so easy at the time of year we are speaking about.

    Hop onto the daily chat and you'll meet quite a few of us;)

    Nope - I have met up with someone from the DFW boards before for dinner though and we had a lovely time!

    I'm looking forward to it, it won't be scary once we get chatting away!

    Imagine, a conversation where you can talk about budgeteering, Quidco and whoopsies without people thinking you're mental. Sounds like bliss to me :rotfl:
