Edinburgh meet up?

On a couple of other threads it seems like a few of us have recently moved to Edinburgh and fancied a meet up. Some longstanding Edinburghers also said they would be up for a pint/wine/dram/coffee and cake to say hi.

I said I would be happy to organise it when I got here if no one else wanted to and well, I am here! The bags are (sort of) unpacked, DS has started school, and my new job at uni starts soon.

Please post if you want to come for a meet!

Hi everyone - I'm not sure who might be free, but Badger & Co are hosting a Macmillan cancer coffee morning next Friday from 9-11.30am There will be a chance to get your hair and nails 'did' and lets face it - who doesn't like some cake?!

Only just seen this, count me in as long as husband is back in time, very excited

Have fun all! Hope new friends are made. I'll come to the next meet-up if it is baby-friendly Smile

NewtonTraveller · 22/09/2016 16:17

Just a little bump!

OOAOML · 22/09/2016 16:28

I can't go as I'm letting my husband go out tonight, so enjoy yourselves and maybe I'll make the next one.

DameDancealot · 22/09/2016 16:59

I am on my way (currently on the bus in Newington)

ocelot41 · 22/09/2016 19:52

We are on the back table tucked round a corner folks. Ask at the door if you can't see us

I hope you arrange another one. DH decided to go out to Krav tonight leaving me to stay in. Have fun. Meet you all another time? Thinking of you now!

ocelot41 · 22/09/2016 22:45

Thanks to everyone who came tonight - I had a really fun night. Much wine was quaffed and I learned what biometric informatics is, why I really need to trim the wicks on my candles, what box sets to watch next, what an actuary actually does and that I really, really want a Maine Coon cat - or maybe two. Let's do another one soon? Does someone want to organise a day time meet - maybe on a weekend so everyone can come? Good luck to the two MNetters with job interviews tomorrow x

Sorry I didn't make it. I took my snotty nose for an early night instead. It sounds like a good night was had by all (Please do another one soon).

DameDancealot · 23/09/2016 12:54

Thanks for organising lovely to meet every one

BrainLikeASeive · 23/09/2016 14:22

OH WOW!!!
You all met up. I didn't know about Scotsnet but just saw your post on the Edinburgh thread.
I'm not in Edinburgh yet but we're moving up in December.
I'll know NO-ONE so I really hope I can join you for a pre-Christmas gathering.

Hope the new job is going well Ocelot x

StatisticallyChallenged · 23/09/2016 14:36

Why don't we try to pencil in something pre Christmas but well in advance so folk have plenty of notice?

madgingermunchkin · 23/09/2016 14:53

I like the sound of that!

ocelot41 · 23/09/2016 16:03

Good plan!

OP posts:
OOAOML · 23/09/2016 16:45

Good plan, will try and come.

NewtonTraveller · 23/09/2016 17:37

StatisticallyChallenged. You bad bad person, that link is an unacceptable addition to the thread Grin.

Great to see everyone last night. Looking forward to the next meet up. Cat cafe looking promising Grin.

StatisticallyChallenged · 23/09/2016 17:53

Cake and pretty kitty cuddles? I could totally get on board with that!

BearFoxBear · 23/09/2016 19:23

Great work ocelot, it was a fun night!

Cat cafe is clearly the way to go for the next one Grin

ocelot41 · 23/09/2016 21:59

So up for a cat cafe meet
