    You get the idea...............................

    Sorry to hear that! I've been looking forward to this meet more than Christmas and would feel really :mad: if I couldn't go.

    I'm sure we'll have a little toast to absent friends :D;)

    only 2 weeks to go till the meet:j:j:j DH has booked the time off work now too. I'm going to check the train times etc this weekend.

    Bitsy - are we eating or just drinking and have we booked a table? not sure if you've already answered this and I forgot:o:D

    I've been thinking of what to wear - might go for my shocking pink hoodie so I'm easy to spot:D

    I no longer have a pink fringe so might be a bit less identifiable than usual. However may I suggest that we wear the long-standing OS badge, a large safety pin, on our outer clothing, to recognise each other? That is what we have done at a few of the London meet and it is great fun (one OSer has a GINORMOUS pin that would have her identified as an OSer from miles away! - If you are reading this, you know who you are LOL).
    Finally I'm an OAP and can travel free (in London at least!).
