Last night I got a pm from @madcatlady, who happens to live about 8miles away.
This afternoon we met up.
So this has to be a record for organising and having a meet.
First of all she isn't mad, she has cats, (so do I) and she certainly is a lady.
Luckily she'd told me she was wearing a grey waterproof as I have never even seen a picture of her before.
We discovered that we went to the same secondary school, she knows two people in my village that I know and we can both make one coffee last two hours.
Had a lovely time and now I'm looking forward to some more meet ups. Next one East Anglia meet, as organised by @Loulou51 how far can my buddy @nursebean travel?
Thanks MCL

That's fab

I've met loads of people after talking to them online, mostly through a parenting website that I belong to. Some I just see at big meet ups, some are really close friends now

Isn't it a small world, eh! Sounds as though you had a great time. Hope you didn't spend the WHOLE time talking about cats

Should have said; my best friend and I met twelve years ago, in the weight watchers online chat room! We're still battling the bulges all these years later

Oh isnt that lovely..and how great you could meet up without endless organising? X

that's great to be able to meet up on the spur of the moment, glad you had a nice time ladies!

You and i will have to have a spontaneous spur of the moment mini meet up @callyanna carie and madcat have started a new trend...impromptu meetups!

You and i will have to have an impromptu mini meet up @callyanna x

Any time Cm!

That'll cheer me up from being well jel about only being there on Tues for elevenses! X

Had a lovely time this afternoon - a bit hoarse now after all that nattering (my favourite pastime!) - I can see my Friday afternoons being the highlight of my week!

Sounds like you two really hit off and what a small world it is when you even had friends and school in common!

How funny that you went to the same school!

I met a few people on the Weight Watchers website too. One I even went to Dublin with to see U2. (from the U.S.)!

Ha ha looks like we've started something @madcatlady my next trick is to get you onto the fitbit group.!!

I shared a large dominoes pizza with my daughter and drank half a bottle of red wine.
My hubs says and I agree that I look a bit bloated. So in summary we aren't good with carbs are we girls.

Oh you are definitely not alone Oats. I don't know why but I feel as though someone has blown me up with a bicycle pump. I have triple chins and a huge stomach...what's going on?!

I might fast tomorrow as we have some venison steaks in the freezer and they're really low cal. But then again it's the weekend so maybe NOT.

My hubs auntie has had a stroke, we've found out via Facebook as his mum is in New Zealand and doesn't know her sister is in hospital. Don't really know what to do as she's not going to take it well and they've gone travelling to the bay of Islands with his sis (their daughter) so not easy to get hold of at all.

See you tomorrow everyone. I've been awake since about 5.30 so I might just go to bed now and leave the hubs snoring peacefully in his chair.
