It's been ages since we all met up!

How does Monday 18th march suit folks? At the Burrell?

Yay! I'll be there. Grin

PacificDogwood · 08/03/2013 22:29

I am just popping in to say hello

I am slightly overwhelmed by RL at the moment, so won't be able to come this time round. My next available free slot is sometime in May...

Have fun!! Smile

HairyPotter · 08/03/2013 22:47

Oh that's a shame Pacific. You will be missed. Will make sure we have one in May. I think we were going to try and make the meet ups once a month.

Hope you and all your gorgeous boys are well.

prettybird · 08/03/2013 22:54

I'll be there.

If it's ok with you lot, I'll double this up as one of the MN Local meet-ups (I volunteered to be an Ambassador).

Sorry you can't make it PacificDogwood Hope RL gets better.

Aww shucks! If I wasn't moving that weekend, I'd come up from Newcastle.
Hope you have a lovely time.

GoingGoingGoth · 09/03/2013 13:05

Another one signing in Grin

GlaikitFizzog · 09/03/2013 13:09

Yay!! I love it when a plan comes together!

Count me in!

binger · 09/03/2013 17:27

I think I should be free, depending on time (I've nc from last meet up, was Biff).

HairyPotter · 09/03/2013 17:47

It's usually around 11am Binger Grin

GlaikitFizzog · 09/03/2013 18:00

Yup, meeting at 11 means we can have elevenses (read cake), lunch (read cake) and for the hardcore amongst us afternoon tea (read cake)!

I'm willing to break my week old diet to join in properly. I'm nice like that.

GlaikitFizzog · 09/03/2013 18:13

Ah, such sacrifices made for a good cause!

Last time I was not long into my Low Carb High Fat diet - I had to watch everyone else eat cake and give away the bread that came with the soup.

The diet is still going well, so I'll have to repeat the agony willpower! Grin

HairyPotter · 09/03/2013 18:53

Dibs on Pretty's bread! Blush I'm an addict.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 09/03/2013 18:57

I'm supposed to be eschewing cakes/biscuits/sweets on weekdays, but if it was a long weekend, I could have a spot of cake, couldn't I?

prettybird · 09/03/2013 18:58

That's a deal HairyPotter Smile

GlaikitFizzog · 09/03/2013 19:02

Well I am not under any type of cutback although I probably should be so I'll happily scoff whatever is on others banned lists!

The nurse at my outpatients on Friday helpful mentioned when she did my weight, that this was the porkiest I have ever been. Hence the diet starting last Monday.

The cake stand at my PTA spring fayre today and the inevitable chocolate orange i'll get tomorrow aren't helping though. Grin

prettybird · 09/03/2013 19:25

I've now made 4 double batches of chocolate chip/smarties cookies and 3 batches of tablet for the Rugby Minis Home Baking stand and not had a single biscuit/piece Shock

Excluding the three half pieces of tablet that I had to have for quality control purposes Wink

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 09/03/2013 19:39

I might make a batch of chocolate fudge to bring - it has the texture of tablet and is heavenly!

HairyPotter · 09/03/2013 21:08

I'm home with a huge bag of home baking that was left over, as well as the big bag I'd already bought. I think I'm the only PTA member that actually looks forward to our fayre.

I'm don't mind trying the chocolate fudge for you sdtg just to make absolutely sure it tastes heavenly.

Pretty half pieces definitely don't count btw! Grin

prettybird · 11/03/2013 10:57

Have posted this meet-up on the MN Local Glasgow South Side Meet-ups, so we might see some new faces. :)

prettybird · 11/03/2013 10:59

and as a Mother's Day treat to myself yesterday, I allowed myself one chocolate chip cookie and a couple of pieces of tablet, plus finally cracked open one of the large bars of South African Peppermint Crisp which my dad had brought back last October and which I then magnanimously shared with ds!
