there was a thread ages ago as to who would be Frugal Friends at Slough on sept 13th...

do we have a final show of hands...so i know who will be there...my OH and i are aiming to attend ...esp as we hope to have a one to one with an expert....but would also like a friendly face or a log in name that i recognise.....to maybe head towards when we arrive...never having been to one before....bit of a coward ...me....
esp. as i have gone and bared all on blogs.!!!!

I'll be there with Dave TOL - it'll be good to meet you x

YEAH...skippy and dave..will you have a red hat on and be carrying a copy of andy davies book???

just a wee question....do we call each other by our log in names???...oops..maybe your name is skippy???

The only red hat I've got is my sequinned Santa hat, but it's probably a bit early for that!

At the last meeting I went to we had name tags with our real name and our forum names on them so we could put names to faces. We did use real names, but I still got referred to as Skippy - I'll answer to either!

I think at these meetings we probably aren't bothered about fellow FF's knowing our real names.

It's only on here as you don't know who is looking!!!!!!!

When I went to the Bradford one, Angela from Melanie's office had printed our avatars and usernames out on little badges.....it was lovely. So I walked round all night with Nia on my top! Hubby wasn't too impressed with Mr.Viki.W though!!!![:D] HaHa! It was so much easier to recognise people from their pictures and usernames. No one has to use their real names if they don't want to. I can't get to Slough as it's too far but hopefully meet you at the Birmingham one TOL. X

once you have been to a frugal friends..is that why you have frugal friends written over your avatars????

I don't think that is anything to do with it. Viki has been to one and she doesn't have it above hers.

Dont think we will be there, i think it may be a bit too far but hopefully we will be at the Birmingham one xxxxx

That was because we all went pet crazy a while back and wanted our pets as our avatars, so Admin put the frugal friends sign(which I love) over the pictures, so people coming to the site wanting help with their debts wouldn't think we were a pet forum![:D] X

Hi tiredoflife
The forum is constantly evolving and its sometimes difficult to keep up !
As Viki says, the frugal friends theme developed quite spontaneously when several members asked to have their pets as their avatars.. and at about the same time we gave the same name to our social evenings ... [:D]

If any of our regular posters would like the frugal friends logo on their avatar we'll be more than happy to add it [:)]
cheers admin

Wouldn't mind admin!!!!!!

Don't have a whale as a pet though - does it count!!!!!![:D]

And there was me thinking that was your pet in the picture Jan!

Certainly a big fish in your pool Jan [:D]

Actually, my hubbie would say it is a good likeness of me!

He always said when we were on holiday (what is one of those?) and on the beach,that he had spied the Japanese whaling fleet!

I think he was trying to tell me something![:D]
