    Ticket at the ready, can't wait for tomorrow!

    Just as well I have this event to look forward to as I am just back from a job interview and they told me they will not let me know until Monday!

    At least I have something really fun to do tomorrow and Saturday to distract me, otherwise I would have jittery for the whole time (instead I shall just jitter a bit on Sunday!).

    See you at the hostel in the afternoon, or in the evening if you come later, peeps! Shall we give a latest time of, say, 7:30pm before leaving the hostel on Friday for a meal, to give anyone else time to reach it?

    Finally I'm an OAP and can travel free (in London at least!).

    May I just wish you all a brilliant time. I have been to meets from another message board site and they are always a great laugh - you feel like you've known eachother forever.

    If it wasn't for my mum's 90th birthday on Sunday, I would have been seriously tempted to join you. Maybe next time :beer: . Have a ball folks - it's going to be mighty quiet round here! ;) lol.
    :D I haven't bogged off yet, and I ain't no babe :D

    Thought i was going to have a last minute problem!

    Little boy has got tonsillitis (again!!!!!). Anyway husband told me to go get train ticket tonight cos if i'd left it till tommorrow it'd have been a staggering £30!!!

    It took me an unbeleivable one hour and 40 minutes to get into town 5 miles away to buy ticket and return.

    By time i'd got back husband had contacted GP, been down to surgery got a perscription from chemist and returned and son is feeling much better!

    So will be there between 2.30 to 3.30 tommorrow

    I also want to wish you all a brilliant time. I am sure you wont have a shortage of conversation as you have so much in common - the love of 'Money Saving Old Style!!!

    Please take loads of photos, as it would be nice to see you all and the wonderful time you will have. If your meeting is half as successful as the other unofficial MSE'rs meets, you will have a great time.

    Loads of love, and safe journeys to all of you.
