With the meet coming very close I wondered how many of you take comfort from the fact that they don't have to look people in the eye on a site like this when they are talking so openly about their problems. Have you met people from support sites? Do you think because of the personal stuff that is discussed on sites like this we actually get a better picture of each other, or do you worry that meeting people face to face will be a shock to the system as they are nothing like you imagine them. I suppose because I manage this place you all get a good idea of what I'm like online. I've been lucky enough to have been able to have meet a lot of people I have made friends with on here. I can honestly say that everyone has turned out to be just like they are online, maybe thats because of the way I read them on here. I'm not sure but it's been great. I can't wait for Sunday to meet more of you but I am sure some of you that are coming are a bit nervous about meeting people for the first time. Don't be, all it means is that you will be able to put more names to faces. If you're not coming then why not :lol: |

I've met you
:lol: and Lisablue. You are just like I imagined Mandy. Lisa was the first person I met from the site, and I wasn't sure what to expect, but now our 2 families are friends, and that is wonderful. I really am looking forward to this weekend, although I am really sorry I will be missing my little cousins Baptism.

I'm not even going!! I think it is the face to face thing Mand that i fret over. I hate that uncomfortable feeling you get when you feel people are judging you or looking you up and down with that obvious look of "oh my god what does she look like??". Having said that, you are a great bunch and i don't think any of you would be like that. Would like to come, but due to the big overspend last week on the wet holiday, i am totally skint!! Besides, Adam will hopefully be staying with my dad and sister this weekend so we can have a bit of a break from each other. My partner wants to get a different motorbike, but i have absolutely no plans. My kids are with their father on saturday, so it should be really quiet with me. Anyone fancy a little drinkie with me in my garden????? Lol.

I hope you all have a great time. I am working, plus it is too far away for me to come, but the idea is a great one, and I wondered if anyone was interested in meeting up at a later date, somewhere a bit further south ish? |

Yes, of course. Maybe we could start organising meets across the country so everyone gets a chance. |
