This weekend I meet my people!

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!

What happened to the other two? Are they going to be starting a thread called "AIBU to be hurt my friends are getting together without me?" 😉

Paperweight7 · 11/06/2025 22:32

That is really lovely!

Did you create the group by asking for like minded people on MN? Would love to be a part of one (little bit wary of Dave the trucker though)

ShinyAppleDreamingOfTheSea · 11/06/2025 22:32

MN at its best! Hope you all have a lovely time 😊

@EmeraldRoulette No, unfortunately I didn't
..I live in Cumbria and the logistics of travelling to London didn't work out for us!
See there's Manchester dates now though.
Lucky you seeing it twice!
It's such a great programme 👌 but I love anything those gents do!

That’s fantastic! I hope you all have a good time x

Hagnumber4 · 13/06/2025 21:38

We are altogether! Oh gosh!!!

Hope you all still like each other by tomorrow! 😂🤞🏻

EmpressaurusKitty · 14/06/2025 08:45

How’s it going?

EmeraldRoulette · 14/06/2025 20:39

Hope you're all having fun

I went to some London meet ups back in the day - they were a blast and I wish I had stayed in touch with some of them

Hagnumber4 · 14/06/2025 22:02

Still alive and not murdered yet. I'm feeling like I'm going to finish this weekend and still be alive 😄

Managed a very isolated walk and a pub lunch

A live thread posting about a meet up 😁. Very MN

QueenOfHiraeth · 14/06/2025 22:10

I met a lovely group of Mnetters years ago. Most of us are still in touch online and meet up here and there.
It's a lovely bonus to the site

So very MN 😄 we are trying to work out what we could troll the thread with to make you guys worry but truthfully it's just been a really cool weekend

You & your IRL MN friends? Great, hope you’re having a good time.

Hagnumber4 · 29/05/2026 18:49

Yep. My MN friends since 2019. Met for the first time in 2025. Second time now

Fab update

BillieWiper · 29/05/2026 18:54

That's awesome. I met up with someone from here after we became text buddies. She is lovely and I'm hoping to meet again soon. I'm sure it'll be great fun 😄 x

Sunisgettinganewhaton · 29/05/2026 18:57

Not an mner but I rekindled a friendship( from 30 years ago) 3 years ago. Having nice people in your life is very good for the soul and mh!
I bet many more 'survived' the mental turmoil of Covid with friends..

7catsisnotenough · 29/05/2026 19:00

Oi, my name's Steve, how come you all assume my name is Dave?!

7catsisnotenough · 29/05/2026 19:00

Btw, forgot to mention that obviously I'm a laydeee and so DEFINITELY not a Steve or Dave...honestly 😉🤣

Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain · 29/05/2026 19:04

Sounds good. Anyone in the south east London area fancies meeting up give me a shout. No I’m not Steve, Dave, Tom, Dick or Harry!

weebarra · 29/05/2026 19:31

I joined an ante natal thread in 2013, we still chat on fb but three of us meet yearly in the city two of us live in and we met last week. It was lovely!
Hi Jo and Lyndsey!

Hagnumber4 · 30/05/2026 08:47

Seems insane that we are nearly upon our seven year anniversary. It was great supporting each other through covid
