LIVERPOOL MEET 11-12 JULY

Saturday :D

Got a text from Cat and Irene to say they were going on the Duck ride, then onto a ferry trip. They had a fab time by all accounts and I must admit to never having even been on a ferry since I was a young girl lol! :D

I arrived at the Pumphouse (it feels like my 'local' after all the time I've spent in there lol!) I just have to tell this little story - sorry Allan! Anyway, I had a text from Allan saying he'd be "there in 5 mins".

Enter Allan - who I recognised immediately - texting "Where's everybody?" So sniggering quietly I texted my reply as he was standing less than 6 feet away from me at the bar. :D "You'll have to make do with just me 'cos Cat and Irene are sightseeing and Sharon and M are doing their own thing too".

"Where are you?" he texted, waiting at the bar.

"I'm sitting by the games machine ya big donut!" :D:D:D :giggle::giggle::giggle:

I really didn't think I looked so different to my avatar but everybody said the same thing to me lol!

After a while (and a drink) Allan decided to head off to do a bit of present buying for his son and I stayed put to wait for some other people. Next to arrive was Tazzi :D. Again, I felt as if we'd met before, what a lovely lady! Such a lovely smile and even lovelier person! Next to arrive was Kay (fingers crossed). I've never really 'spoken' much to you Kay, but you are an inspiration to me with your fantastic weightloss! :D

Irene and Cat arrived, windswept, from their sightseeing. Within a short time all the others began to arrive, Allan returned, Debbie, Bev, Phil and Bev's sister (sorry Bev I don't know your sister's name :eek:), Sharon and M. We did take up a lot of seats didn't we lol?! That poor woman sitting all alone kept looking at us, I could tell she was trying to figure out why all these people with all these different accents were together lol!:D:D

I can honestly say, with hand on heart, that every person I met this weekend I liked immediately! You know what it's like when you have cyber relationships, sometimes people don't live up to expectation. Or in my case that I wouldn't live up to others expectations of me. :eek: I'm not saying I had expectations of anyone because I didn't, but I was just so happy to meet everybody and that you'd all travelled so far and I'm so grateful. xx :D

Right, Saturday evening.
Unfortunately we had to say goodbye to Kay and Tazz (even though Cat and I threatened to confiscate Tazz's car keys!):D
Bev and co met up with Debbie and Allan at the Pumphouse while the rest of us went along to the Cavern to see THE most fantastic Kappa!!! Jude aka Boobyjood and I arrived later than everybody else and nearly didn't get in as the pub was packed. But the doorman relented when I said "We won't want to go in once Kappa have finished" (I did have that 'Puss in boots from Shrek' watery eyed look about me and I think that swayed it for us lol!)

Anyway, we caught the last 15 mins or so, which was well worth it in my book! Then Collette aka Cee cee, Irene, Cat, Jude, Sharon, M and myself met up with Bev and co and Debbie and Allan and went for a meal in a lovely Italian restaurant called Casa Bella.

Lots more chatting, laughing, eating and we ventured outside to decide what to do next. Jude, Irene, Cat and myself went back to Jurys after saying goodbye to Bev and co and Sharon, M, Allan and Debs went to Flares. :D Is that becoming a Minimins Meets tradition lol? :D

The time literally flew by at Jurys, Cat and Irene are lovely company and before we knew it, Jude and I were saying goodbye at 2am! :(:(

Well, I think that's everything, if anyone can fill in any gaps then please feel free to
do so lol! :D:D

Yes I was on a high bar stool and you were still taller than me when you stood next to me lol! You should've seen the trouble us littl'uns had getting on and off those stools all weekend lol! :D

Did you just pay me a compliment then Allan?! :eek: "A lovely conversation"? :D:D I agree though, we did have a nice chat. :D
I'm not ashamed to admit that I was a smidge nervous of what you'd be like - being a bossy policeman and all that lol!

awww its like a rosmantic date :D :D

Yeah - NOT! But he'd prefer to be sitting opposite Mrs G or Angelin Jolie or someone like that and I'd prefer to be sitting opposite Johnny Depp lol! :D:D

Hahaha It was a great day actually.....even though i was late and *Cover your ears Allan* i had to fly down the motorway to get back 20 minutes late....oops.

I agree with you Carol everyone that i met was completely lovely and it was like a mini reunion as most of us went to Belfast this year.

We will definately have to do it again sometime.........plus those lads sitting next to us on the bar stools were lovely :) haha

I wouldn't worry about him! He flew past me on the M58 at a VERY quick speed.... though his directions leave a lot to be desired..... Allan - north "was" the right direction :rolleyes:

Another lovely weekend with some of my favourite cybermates! Lovely to meet new people, and great as ever to catch up with everyone else.

I've been home, and back out again on the flippin' airport run. Now I'm going to sit on the sofa and cabbage hehehe!
 
Haha Debbie, before you arrived we were all sitting on those high stools next to a table of 6 fellas celebrating a 30th birthday. Tazz and I were chatting to one of them and it was only when I got off the stool that we both realised that we were sharing the same stool! :D Lovely! I never could've done that 3 stones ago lol!
 
Haha he was lovely.........a guy from yorkshire.....im sure they wanted us to stay lol. The guy whos birthday it was bought me a drink.......not sure but perhaps i should have bought him one seeing it was his birthday. lol.

Next time Debbie. Great to meet you.

The one next to me was disappointed when we all moved! He asked me where we were going, why and said "that's a shame". lol
 
Not sure yet, work can be funny about us taking holiday time at weekends, even though I only work weekends! :rolleyes::sigh:

I was talking to Irene and she said York would be good because I can get a train straight there. I'll have to see when it is and work out whether I can go. What about your next meeting?
 
no idea yet its more of a what day do i have off situation. i have no leave left. Possibly York. Irene said i could possibly share a room. :)

X

That would be great! I'm not sure how much holiday leave I've got left either - I seem to have booked loads of time off over the past 3 months and I'm sure I'm not entitled to it all lol! :rolleyes::eek:
 
God i wish i had been there, was sulking all weekend!
