Hello all.

FestiveFly and I are going to meet up in Edinburgh just after New Year. She's up here on holiday for a few days.

Haven't got a venue sorted, but we thought lunchtime on Friday 2nd Jan for coffee and/or light lunch.

Anyone else up for it??

Back to my normal posting name since the festive period has passed.....
I might have a spot of bother getting there ontime as the trains are only running a Sunday service!!! I will try my best.

Hope nobody minds, but when i arrived in Edinburgh on Monday i had to get out of there as quickly as possible, sent me a bit nutty, thinking i would see them. I'm in the middle of nowhere as well and can't get a lift!!!!! I promise i'll meet next time as i am here every month or so. Have a great time and a happy new year

Hello ff. Good New Year? Manage to brave the weather?

hollybet · 02/01/2004 12:22

they arranged a meet in 53 messages!!

Have they read the Manchesterone to see how it should be done?

Where was everyone it was only myself and hogmanay that turned up.What happened to you all?

charlize · 03/01/2004 15:35

Sorry loobie. I chickened out Iam afraid. Will try to be brave next time though.
Hope you had a lovely time.

If I had kown that it was just going to be Loobie and I we could have met in Lvingston as that is where both LOobie and my parents stay.

Festivefly · 03/01/2004 22:12

So so sorry don't be grumpy,i just couldn't get to a computer very often was filled with memories when i stepped into Edinburgh, and then got stranded in west linton, i promise i will turn out next time. It was all just a bit to much for my little head

charlize · 04/01/2004 11:51

Livingston would have been better for me to.
I just couldn't face the trek in this weather and my nerves got the better of me.

Hello - I missed this and it was on my doorstep Was away for xmas and offline - I'm impressed by you organising something so quickly. Shall have to check MN more frequently for the next one

JanHR · 04/01/2004 20:19

Charlize and LOobie, I will be visiting my parents again in March, Perhaps we can arrange to meet at the Heritage Centre n#in LIvingston one of the days.

So sorry folks!! Public transport let me down. I stood and waited for a bus for half an hour, only for a bloke to walk passed and tell me there weren't any! I had missed one train by that point. I went home and phoned a taxi which turned up too late for the next train (hourly Sunday service!). I told it bugger off as it would've meant me arriving at 2.30pm.

How pissed off was I? And ds was less than amused, he thought he was going on a Choo choo train!

Tamz77 · 08/01/2004 20:57

My computer's been offline since Christmas Eve so I didn't know (couldn't remember) where or when we would be meeting, or if it was still on. Sorry. Up for another time, definitely.
