WEMITT Birmingham meet 25 & 26th Nov 2006
- Thread starter kamiknix
- Start date
Just had a text of Mandy - she is not able to get to me till lunchtime tomorrow due to work committments - we can set off straight away to get the train so all being well we should be there at 3pm but if we aren't we won't be much later. The train from Coventry to BHam only takes 15 - 20 mins.
Looking forward to it everyone. All those thinking about coming and are not sure - just come - it'll be great
Love

I've just sorted my husband and child tonight finally. I never made it to the meet because the both have gastroenteritis. My daughter is improving but my husband is very poorly - he is very very slim and he seems to be dehydrating quickly.
The Emergency dr has been out to them both tonight and feels that if there is not a big improvement tomorrow I need to take them to hospital for IV fluids. I am fighting fit and am going to treat myself to a large glass of wine now! I am shocked at how fast it has taken hold and she has lost nearly 5lb in only a few days!!!! He can't afford to lose weight!
I hope everyone is enjoying themselves and I feel so guilty that I couldn't come - I really needed some girly time away but such is a mother's lot!!
Keep me posted on how it all went. Love GM

What a night you've had GM. You deserve that glass of wine.
I hope your daughter and hubby improve overnight and that you don't need to do a hospital run tommorow.
You must be knackered...xxx

Sounds like it's been a great meet Ann. I'm really glad that FFF decided to go.
I can't wait to meet up with Mandy, Kat and Irene again in January and Mich at last.
Hope they are taking some piccys tonight

I bet that was an amazing moment for Ailsa.
Can't wait to see the piccys Ann and hear all about it from everyone. I bet the staff thought you'd all lost the plot!!!!

I have blisters ....
Saturday 25th November circa 8AM:
I'm awake and have decided to take a drive to Adsa and fill my car with petrol and the tyres with air. Unfortunately said petrol station is shut so i take a leisurely walk around Asda looking at their Fast Fashion range - unfortunately they only go up to a size 20 so I'm left thinking about the styles I'll be wearing in a few months time when I'm small enough to wear them.
I then decide to go to Brum via the train, in the rain (oooh that rhymes) to buy pashmina's and punish myself with great clothes I see in the Bull Ring.
Saturday 25th November circa 1PM:
I should be getting back, but see someone in town I know who accosts me and then drives me home result! I still haven't filled up! I go to the petrol station and fill up and then realise I have left my handbag in the friends car! Que time wasted in the petrol station being made to feel like a criminal (surely these things must happen frequently?!), is it cos I is fat?. Additionally time wasted getting my purse and handbag back. At least I get to watch The Prime of Miss Brodie.
Saturday 25th November circa 3PM:
I finally go home and start getting ready. I shower and fragrance my body to within and inch of it being pickled. Then sat naked in front of my 'puter scan through pages of WEMITT Birmingham meet 25 & 26th Nov 2006looking for Ann (Westhills) mobile number - that felt like forever. Finally find it and send a witty text, no reply, call her, no response. I start to worry ... is the joke on me?!
Saturday 25th November circa 4.30PM:
I take the plunge and drive to Birmingham in the vain hope that they girls would still be sat in the Jury's Inn. WHat the heck I could always drown my sorrows (in water of course) if they weren't there. Luckily I recognised Ann and Mandy. I approach and grin like a CHeshire cat ... I walk up to them assuming they know me, strange I know, but I'm so used to this forum I assume you guys know me physically! I'm so thick! They look at me like I'm a mad woman and rightly so!
So I get chatting to everyone as they are ALL lovely women. I'm staring wide-eyes at these women and I'm physically telling myself not to, but you can't help it ....... it's really hard to believe these people were my size (and bigger) at one point. Ann (Westhills) introduces me to CD Malted Toffee bars and I'm very impressed. I hadn't eaten up until this point.
We agree to split up 1/2 went to beautify themselves further and the half I was with went for eats in an Italian - may I say the food was delish ..... grilled mushrooms and lettuce - the best Italian starter I've ever had - seriously.
We then reassemble in the foyer of Jury's Inn and I'm flummoxed at how gorgeous and great these girls are. I go to the loo and reapply my lip gloss. We're ready to go to flares and boogie. ......... I dance my bottom off and have a great time.
I'd like to make a point of telling the world that Mandy has a FABULOUS voice and totally blew me away.
I had to leave early and hobble accross the road to celebrate my friends birthday.
Good night all in all and what a way to garner inspiration. I would recommend those who have yet to attend a WEMITTs social to go, with bells on!

Home and happy... I could never have even guessed how great this weekend would be! I met some of the loveliest people ever, laughed more than I have in years, danced almost non-stop for 5 hours (boy am I paying for it today!), got chatted up! (I know!!!), and just had the most fun ever! Meeting Mary (Dolphin2), Ann (Westhills) and Mandy (Mandy b2) just inspired me even more to stick to the plan!
I had a fabulous room with a view overlooking the canal and oh, it was lovely! I'll be writing a boringly long account of events in my dairy but I just wanted to say how fantastic it was to meet you ALL. Cah-ching - you are spectacular! It was a joy to meet you! I'm really glad you made it! (Shame you had to leave us so early.. but glad you came along!!).
I got all motherly toward Cat (well, she is only 19 and I wasn't going to stand by and let some nasty bloke touch her where he shouldn't!)... lol.. what a lovely young woman she is! Her mum (Irene) is simply one of the nicest (doesn't do her justice) women it has ever been my pleasure to meet.
As for Mich - well... we were the dirty stop outs! Not getting in until, ummm.,, well I think it was about 3 (or thereabouts)... but boy did we have a giggle!
I can't wait for the next time we get together there again! (Hopefully early July someone was saying....?) I'm well up for it - should be almost 7 stone lighter by then!! As soon as a date is set I'm booking me a room!!
The hotel was wonderful, sheer luxury and what a view too! (Will see if I can get the same room again next time! lol)
So... I'm going to try and put photos on this post but forgive me if I make a mistake (I am rather tired! ) lol... xxx thank you all for encouraging me to come along, I don't think you can even guess what a difference this weekend has made to my way of thinking!. xx
Ok... I couldn't figure it out so am creating a photo album in the gallery - should all be done by 4pm! Will call it WeMitts Brum Nov 06
