    I'm sorry I am such a disappointment :p;)

    Had a lovely time, lots of laughs and chatter, and it was nice to meet some new people :) I struggled to get home too, there were frozen points on the line, and I had to go all the way into Glasgow, but my husband came and picked me up there :) It was minus four at that point!!

    Marie is at the airport just now, and will be off home shortly, I think her OH fell a little bit in love with La-Cara, he was trying to match her up with their son! :D

    It was lovely to see you all, hopefully we can do it again when there is sun in the sky and no snow on the ground, and the others - who were missed - can manage too.

    Thanks for organising us La-Cara!

    We definitely will!!! We missed you, and everyone had lovely things to say about you - and we're looking forward to meeting you IRL. I'm afraid there was no Guiness consumed, we were ladeees and drank wine all day! :D

    Next time you definitely need to come - We'll do it somewhere that's easily accessible no matter what the weather. :D

    Mardatha - JackieG is right - we were saying it was a shame you couldn't come. Roll on the next meet. Forgot to say earlier - big thanks to La Cara for organising it.

    Goodness, just heard from Marie, Edinburgh airport has been closed, they are bussing them over to Prestwick airport and hope to fly them out later, I am worried though, as I live about 40minutes from there and the weather is awful up here. I hope they are safe, and that Ryanair will put them up somewhere if they can't fly them out.

    Blimey! Pernod! I've not had that in a few years. :D

    I used to drink it in my late teens, early 20's, which is *cough* a year or two back now ;)

    Glad you all had such a good time, meets are always such fun. Feel gutted for you Mardatha that you couldn't make it :( But next year, eh? :)

    I met my OH in an online MSN chat room 10 years ago (yes, really) and met him for the first time when a room meet was organised. We had a few over the years, and they were always great fun. Sadly, as most of us were spread about all over the country, we don't have them anymore, but I have very fond memories of them.

    Thanks for posting the pic csarina :T it's so nice to put faces to names
