Well, it's a beautiful Sunday morning and I'm up early (!) and already had breakfast.
I finally met up with everyone on Friday night. Had a fab evening at the Millenium and it was well chosen by Sandy because there was plenty of room, it was not noisy (apart from us) and we had a good view later on of the street.
I was reminded again of just how special it is to meet with fellow miniminers. There is nothing quite like being able to relax and chat to other like-minded people about 'dieting issues', being painfully honest, and being understood.
We spoke about the lengths we go to to try to impress on people manning the checkout that all this chocolate/ice cream/
biscuits/crisps/whatever is for the whole of our (extended) family!
Who are we trying to kid?!?!
We had a long discussion about 'poo' stories (you had to be there) that had most of us laughing, the trials and tribulations of World of Warcraft (and the like), and the wonders of
t'internet. that's for you, Kat!
LOL.. im glad its taken off.. lol..!! Our poo stories were amazing.. everyone on the other tables were so jealous..
Sadly, on Saturday I woke up early with a migraine and had to stay in bed all day to get rid of it. Happily, it had disappeared by tea time and I was raring to go.
We met at Princes Street shopping arcade for drinks,and saw that there were preparations for Miss Scotland (to take place on Sunday). Well, the organisers begged and pleaded with us to take part, but we gracefully declined. "Give others a chance" we said kindly.
Too right.. we wouldnt want to have made me unfair.. you know..
Myself Irene and Kat went up to a fab Italian restaurant on the Terrace for tea and met up again with Sandy, Sharon a bit later at a Tapas bar. Again, a great choice because it was not too loud and we could chat without having to shout. Got a great picture of myself with the lovely Irene, which I will try and load onto minis when I get home.
Just off to have a cup of (Earl Grey), then off to LUSH to get some supplies in. I was so disappointed that I couldn't get out yesterday:cry: to get a bathball to use in the hotel bath. Never mind, today I'll get enough for a month of baths!
Regards to everyone at Minis and thanks again Sandy:flowers:for organising this weekend.
