Is There Anyone On Here From The Uk?

[Springer80]

Hi!
I am in London as well.

Hi Abs (Hope you don't mind the abbreviation??!!),

Do you think you'd travel to Birmingham for a day?Maybe if we had a seasonal meet up we could do two in the north and two south?

I am from London now living in Kent.

Hi James,

Representing the S.E. of the UK branch....Welcome. :)

Springer,

Thank you! I wish I could do something like this but sadly I have become a bit phobic with certain things. Am very socially skilled generally but turn into a monosyllabic terrified zombie in any environment where "real" stuff has been discussed. That includes T unfortunately. Even the idea of chat on here is impossible at present. Who knows. Maybe I will grow and be able to eventually. :O_o: My loss I am sure.

Thanks for the invite and Abs is just fine! Sure you will all have a great time.

(((Abs))).

We all move at our own pace. The fact that you are 'talking here' is an achievement for you. Be proud of that.

Thanks KP!
Actually it is no small feat. I am a total blabbermouth in any other context but touch on this stuff and I mostly live in denial or can't speak.
It's nice that you are doing something like this and I am sure you will enjoy your get-together!

Well never mind, like you say perhaps with time it's something that will get better. Regards airing your laundry on here, well I'd just have a pop at it, if you can. Cheaper than a T and if it gets awkward you can just log off!

Abstract, see how you feel by february.

I'm like that too. But I managed the first meet up, then wasn't in a great place and missed the second meet. So it can go either way. February is a long way off, so never say never :).

These meetings are also open to partners. Mine came to both the March and July meetings but draws the line at shopping at Cheshire Oaks :rolleyes:.

In fact at the York meeting it was a KP family outing with my youngest daughter and her boyfriend joining us. That meeting came about as my daughter lives in York and when I visited her, Amethist and I started to meet and from there came the teddy bears picnic.

Abs, it's OK, whenever you are ready. I must admit I get terrified every time I meet up with members from the Forum because I seldom see anyone else. I has been worth it though.

meet at Cheshire Oaks

Do you think there will be a flashing Santa this year KP? :eek::roflmao:

Thanks Springer.

Yes. Time.

Hopefully I can work my way into actually speaking about some of my stuff. Actually, being in T doesn't stop me from "logging" off in a sense. ;) I am there in body but other than that... Lala Land!

Thanks Medowsweet!

You are right and February is far away so I shall try not to be so negative! I may turn a corner. Anything is possible.

I am sorry you feel this way too and glad you managed one of them!

Hi CraftyCath! Thanks.

I am sorry you felt this way but it is good to know I am not the only one. I really feel like two people sometimes; my life is that split. Sorry to hear that you are isolated and glad you found the meetings helpful!

I will have to come now as I can't miss a flashing santa! :happy:

KP,
I love York. One of my favourite places.

OMG, I had forgotten that, or found it so disturbing I hid it at the back of my mind :eek:. This year if it is there I will take photographic evidence. Then the rest of the forum can share the experience :roflmao:

Did someone say 'a meet in Birmingham' I'll be there.... It was lovely to meet everyone last time, if you are new & nervous don't worry, we all feel the same & blend in together!
