30th Jan 2019, me and five others created a WhatsApp group after meeting on MN.

Four of us remain. This weekend we finally meet for the first time!

These ladies were with me for COVID. We laughed, we cried. Our toddlers grew in to children. We've experienced loss, illness, new jobs, studying.

Just wanted to enjoy that the power of MN brought us together. Unless there's a trucker called Dave who I'm about to accidentally meet this weekend!

How lovely
May it be all you wish for

How lovely. I met one of my now closest friends from a mn support group during our first babies in lockdown. We met up and now see each other regularly!

Hopefully the weather will be good and have lovely time.
A nice heartwarming post,thank you.

I actually sometimes suspect we’re all truckers called Dave…😀

elliesmummy19 · 11/06/2025 08:13

That sounds so lovely! I hope you all have a wonderful time!

RafaistheKingofClay · 11/06/2025 08:17

Watch out for the axe murderer. That’s option too if one of you isn’t Dave.

TackyFriar · 11/06/2025 08:20

I'd love to meet Dave ...

Azureshores · 11/06/2025 08:22

That’s really lovely - how far are you all travelling?

EmpressaurusKitty · 11/06/2025 08:26

I met some of my closest friends through an MN WhatsApp group. Have a great time!

GloriaHotcakes · 11/06/2025 08:59

I used to love the MN meet ups in London

Tiddlersfish · 11/06/2025 09:36

How lovely - I’ve got some excellent friends through a MN originated WhatsApp group. Have a fabulous time!

Where's the laugh emoji when you need it?

You have to do everything yourself nowadays <grumbles>

So: 🤣

Love Dave xxx

RafaistheKingofClay · 11/06/2025 10:44

Dave, you doing it wrong. You aren’t supposed to reveal yourself until you meet.

Seriously though, I’ve met some lovely MNers and none of us have turned out to be axe murderers or Dave.

So I'm travelling about 3.5 hours from the south. Someone else about 3.5 hours from the east. One is travelling across some water. And the other we are off to stay with.

Hopefully there will be no secret late night ghosts or creaky floor boards. No possessed people or axe wielding blokes.

I'm sharing a room with one!

So one person has been kind enough to offer their home? Wow.

(I mean to stay in, not to buy at a massively reduced price)

I really wanted to organise a get together in a place I can't even remember. Is it near Staffordshire maybe. There was a sighting of a strange creature nearby and I thought it would be hilarious if we all got together and tried to find it. Unsurprisingly, there wasn't much interest 😂

greencartbluecart · 11/06/2025 18:08

Oh I hope you get on as well as my MN gang does

we still haven’t all met as we are all over GB
i have never had so many female friends ( worked in tech all my life )

RockyRogue1001 · 11/06/2025 20:48

Aw.

Have a lovely weekend ❤️

BulldogMumma · 11/06/2025 20:51

This is lovely,
would love to be part of a MN WhatsApp. Could do with some new friends

AllProperTeaIsTheft · 11/06/2025 20:52

Awww - that's really nice!

caringcarer · 11/06/2025 21:04

Have a lovely time. Hope the weather is kind to you.

Psychoville78 · 11/06/2025 21:24

That's so lovely 😍 I met my 3 closest friends through Facebook and The League of gentlemen! We're scattered around the country but meet up every 3 months for a weekend and I love them.

EmeraldRoulette · 11/06/2025 21:33

@Psychoville78 that's great. I'd love an Inside no 9 meetup.

Psychoville78 · 11/06/2025 21:57

@EmeraldRoulette Did you get to see Stage Fright???? X

EmeraldRoulette · 11/06/2025 22:10

@Psychoville78 yes I went twice!

Did you see it? If you want to discuss it, I started a spoiler thread on the "culture vultures" board.
