Grumble time - i have a sore throat and feel achy - not fair! I will want to chat loads but at the mo can't talk much as my throat hurts:{
Typical it's a weekend - have been trying to avoid students who have been coughing all week.

Hope I can shake it off, not much you can take for a sore throat!

Will see how I feel tomorrow - not got anyones mobile number but can post on here off my phone - still hoping to come but will see how I feel after the rescue stall tomorrow morning......

Beverley...!
Have you already paid for your ticket...?

I'm driving the looooong way to brum as the m6 has a lode of road works... And if you fancy a lift... ;) I could drive your way... Rather than kingsbury way... :))

Let me know if you fancy a lift...
Oh and FYI... I've tidied my car... :))

oh guys, hope you all have a brilliant time today, one of these days i am going to come and meet you all, i just need someone to come with me!
 
Hey Clare only just saw this, I've got my ticket but thanks!
Am leaving for the station in about half an hour :))
 
Sooo jealous, but hope you have a great time! Next time I will see this earlier and will be able to book a non-extortionate train ticket and come too!

Take lots of hooman-tures!

I'll be with you guys soon, just nipping to vegan shop then I'll be round! Be there by 3pm.
 
Hope you are having had a lovely time. You wouldnt want me have some sort of throat lurgy and a cough!
 
Not long got in and just realised I didn't take any pics! :(
I had a lovely time, sorry I didn't get a chance to chat to teejay and Steve more, it can be difficult to get around everyone!
Great to meet Lindsay, Shauna & her bf Raymond (how lovely is he?!) and hope to see you all again soon! :))
 
We also just got back, a real fantastic afternoon that flew by far too fast. Looking forward to doing it again soon. Thanks everyone! Hope all get hope speedily, great to see you all. x
 
I had a great time and will post the very few pics I have taken once I have sorted out the mess that hub has left my computer in when he installed a new server. Email is back, but my favourites list and half my pics have gone missing, plus the uploader is refusing to cooperate... mallethead

Sorry about YET again only saying good bye to you, Alisont! I was great to meet Shauna and Teejay with their very intrepid OHs, as well as Karonus and his not so intrepid daughter, plus see all the familiar faces from the snowed-in meet again! I'm rather hoarse now!
 
My Boyfriend thinks all his christmass have come at once as my voice is nearly completely gone!
 
Was great to see everyone today, never enough time to chat with everyone there. Hope no one gets a cold - I was trying not to sneeze! Think my voice may go too!
Was worn out when I got home, but so glad I got to see everyone today - here's to the next one!
 
I'm finally home - what a long day :)) !

Piggies shouting at me because dinner is late and Mabel needs her meds...no rest for the wicked! At least I had a curry waiting for me when I got in! It was fab to meet everyone as like the others have said time seemed to fly by! A real shame I didn't get to talk to everyone! What a lovely bunch you all are :) thanks for the avipro Lee & Rach and for making me look so suspicious at the station :(|)!

Now time to get on with the chores and feed myself!
 
It was lovely today :) was really nice to meet everyone and i cant wait for the next one... i wont be as nervous for that one haha

ill try and talk to everyone next time to lol, i couldnt keep up with all the convos today :P
 
It was lovely to see everyone! I'm sad that I didn't get round to proper chatting with everyone, but I just didn't want to steam in and interrupt you good people when you were in mid conversation, LOL! One of the drawbacks of being a latecomer to the party, hehe!

I was forgiven for tea being late here once the gang realised I had got them organic parsley and kale from the vege market. My Mum had spoilt them with cauliflower leaves and carrot tops too - very spoilt furries here:)

Oooh lucky piggies! They have all forgiven me, even Mabel after I gave her baytril! Rubix is now causing mayhem attempting to free range with me chasing her around!
 
Wow what a fab afternoon it was and yet again gone in a whirlwind. Kind of gutted I didn't get time to chat to everyone and sorry I did feel a bit rude for not doing so but I didn't realise how quick the time was going :$ Still hopefully I'll get another chance at the next one!
 
It was a great afternoon and good to exchange stuff about piggies. Looking forward to next time. Didnt look forward to getting home to go through a bag of receipts for a clients vat return, joys of working for yourself, weekends arent sacrosanct.
 
Here are some snaps - I only took these as we were all too busy chattering away!

Please anybody I have left out, add themselves in; it is not by design!

PS: Everybody is most welcome to join in (we even had somebody come all the way from London this time), but it is advisable to make sure that you have a spare set of vocal chords, as chatting about piggies will be instant and non-stop! :(|)
