Hi everyone, I have only just seen your posts. I live close to Swindon & would love to come along and meet you all on Monday 23rd. Not sure how to send my first name to you privately but happy to tell you it's Lorraine. I will dig out a blue scarf.

Wear a blue scarf if possible.

Have a lovely meet up in Swindon this afternoon. Sorry I can't be with you but I have the school run to do. Perhaps next time ?Don't eat too much cake roses.

brileo Mon 23-Jan-17 09:07:04

Sorry to hear you won't be joining us Greenfinch, hopefully next time.

Peep Mon 23-Jan-17 11:40:43

Hope you have a lovely meet-up this afternoon. I'm sorry I can't make it after all. Hopefully will be able to come next time.

We had a lovely get together this afternoon, brileo ,nanasam, struggling,cornishgirl,
Great to meet you all.We hope to have this meet up every month from now on, so if anybody else wants to join us, keep checking the Swindon meet up thread.smile
Amazingly, no cake was eaten.....there was a good choice too ( I did have a peek) but we all wanted to either lose weight or not to gain any more.It may well be different next time though.cupcake

You beat me to it,Roses! Lovely afternoon,so pleased we got together. Hope meet up again soon.

Pleased it went well but I'm envious. Lived in Swindon for 27 years, now 65 miles away. I did wonder if I could make it, maybe with better weather, would that be ok?

Cornishgirl777 Mon 23-Jan-17 20:01:07

Cornergran....of course! The more the merrier.

Struggling2do1 Mon 23-Jan-17 22:30:34

It was so good to meet you all. Sad I will not be there for the Feb meeting but I am already looking forward to March! We covered so many topics and had a lot in common. Xx

nanasam Tue 24-Jan-17 11:35:49

It was great meeting you all, could have stayed for hours! Definitely up for meeting in February or March. Shall I throw in a suggested date of the 27th February? We can discuss what pancakes to make for the 28th! Maybe struggling can make it then too?

nanasam Tue 24-Jan-17 11:37:19

Forgot struggling you are off on your hols. Have a fab time x

rosesarered Tue 24-Jan-17 21:35:42

Yes, I think that I can do that date, we will start a new thread nearer the time?smile

Time to arrange another meet up in Swindon, I believe the 27th of this month was suggested, that works for me! How about everyone else?

Cornishgirl777 Sat 18-Feb-17 17:52:23

That's fine for me.

nanasam Sun 19-Feb-17 13:38:59

That's fine for me too, looking forward to seeing you again brew cupcake
