I'm feeling all sulky and fed up cos I can't come on Sunday (Mum says so <g>) The doc has signed me off for a month so is obviously not expecting a magical return to health and I'm feeling all left out, fancy living this near and still not being able to go. :-(
Anyway while we are planning stuff, would anyone like to take pity on me and meet me in Sheffield somewhere for a very leisurely cuppa (I'm not up to more)

weekends are fine, perhaps at some point we could have a coffee at Meadowhall, easy to get to even for out of towners.
sorry for being mardy I must be feeling better, it's just there have been 3 things I've missed while being ill (10 weeks now and I've been signed off for another month) The first two I wasn't well enough to care and this was just too soon and too far away.
I was so looking forward to meeting more that the usual suspects (I think I've mostly seen 5 other people) not that I can talk yet, which is very frustrating.
well now I've stopped, I won't say any more, I just want to know lots asap ok?

I'm sorry that you can't make the trips. I know its zero consolation but there's a wide variety of White Horse branded tat, sorry, tourist souvenirs. You wouldn't care for a very tasteful scenic Cotswold tea towel? :)

Andrea, if you don't mind my asking (I may have missed an eariler post), what is that you're recovering from? Sounds rather serious! I'm glad that we crazy Fforumites have been some form of comfort for you though. Being away from the world at large is not as much fun as it sounds. (I've been away from work for nearly 6 years with a back injury! But I could probably find a desk job now if I really *wanted* to, but I'm lazy LOL)

Hey Andrea... sorry you're not feeling great. I know how it feels and am seinding lots of comforting *insert alcohol of choice* vibes. I'm still up for going to Howarth but can't make this weekend either, so maybe in a couple of months when you're feeling more like it, we can go? And anyone else who fanices a return visit...
