Frugal Friends - Birmingham (15 Nov)

[aguise]

Thanks Melanie I have just seen it. We had a great hol but busy with the grandchildren, tiring.

Not too sure Walsall is hard for me to get to a bit far for a taxi, as I wont have any transport, and steve is working. I will try to sort out.

Thanks ang 18. xx

Ang - you absolutely have to be there! I can pick you up on my way through, and we will get you a taxi home. As one of the FF stalwarts, and the fact that it is the Xmas party, we cannot miss you! Speak more about this tomorrow.

[aguise]

Thanks Melanie
I am sure I will sort something, the trains to walsall are always being cancelled and the buses take ages and make me sick, if not I may take you up on your kind offer, as you say we will have a chat tomorrow. I will book a room anyway and get there come what may.

Looking forward to tomorrow but fed up of packing, unpacking one case and filling another lol.

Ang xx
Thanks again.

Hi Ang

Don't know where my mind is, I knew you were going on hols but then forgot! Glad you had a good time.

I can always come and get you first before the meeting as want to meet up anyway. Not a problem at all for me to do this x

[freelili]

Walsall is a wee bit too far for me, never mind though, will be with you in spirit.

[MelanieGiles]

Could those coming from the centre of Birmingham perhaps arrange to meet up in town and we will then put transport on to and from the venue. I would hate to think that you cannot make it Lily.

[Viki.W]

Hubby and I are driving so we will happily pick up anyone on the way.

[emma_t]

Lily, I am more than happy to pick you up on the way to the meeting.
I know what area you live in and drive past that on my way to Birmingham.
I am hoping to meet Ang before for a good old catch up natter and a coffee and a few fags (as Melanie calls us the resident fag ash lils!!) so more than happy to get you also.
have a think as it would be good to see you if you are free,
Emma xx

Hiya all and thanks

I would hate to put anyone out, I wouldnt be able to travel to Walsall on my own. Great idea to all meet somewhere though. I could stay over too.

I am really sorry but my internet connection is really sketchy now and will go off all together from Monday. Ang has my contact no. If its only me who is stuck then please dont worry.

Kind Regards.

Hi Emma, your post must have come in when I wrote mine, talk about fag ash lil can you imagine how long I have been called that? Cheers youre a star, I dont know if this will come through. I hope so, drowning here I am.

[MelanieGiles]

Lily - you will definately get to the ball even if we have to send wild horses to fetch you - or better than that the very kind Emma who is almost passing your doorstep!

I think that most people are going to stay over and make a night of it, and due to the very central location there are bound to be cars going in all directions the next morning. Andy and Bev will also be heading South, and I am sure would be more than happy to drop anyone off in your area.

[emma_t]

Thats great Lily, Ang has my email address and tel number and I will be in contact with her to sort things out so even if you go offline for a while I am sure we can all get in touch and make arrangements x

[Adam Davies]

Hi
Bev and myself are more than happy to pick people up on the way and drop them off the next day.We could have a Birmingham pick up point
Regards
