Christchurch ...... Keen to catch up ??

[Nutmeg]

wow i did not see any of McB's posts in this thread while i was away , just saw it now.

I would love to catch up even though Julie and Sbell and Mcbelle are all at refeed stage and im exactly the same as i was at last catch up but it would put a smile on my dial to see ya'll but im not really in the right headspace this week. Maybe next weekend ?

[mcbell]

Now, the boy and I have had arguments about this - when you say next weekend, are you talking about the next weekend that will arrive (as in the 12th/13th) or the next weekend after (19th/20th).

Me and my premiums are down for anytime in the morning on any of those dates mentioned above (I have a birthday to go to on the 12th so I need to get home to munch lunch before we leave, so I can hautily ignore all the fabulous food, and get out of there before dinner time), so anytime am should suit me or am/pm on the other dates.

Hope that makes sense!

Who's keen and which dates work and where etc etc?

[mcbell]

P.S. I am not much nearer to refeed since then either (slowly slowly - not like Julie who is banging on the door of refeed) - but I could wear the same clothes as last time so that you can see the difference..... I am wearing my rpm vest today, and I do think it is actually a bit roomy! Awwwww yeeeeeah.

[Nutmeg]

LOL , for me i refer to this weekend ( 12/13) as THIS weekend and i refer to next weekend (19/20) as NEXT weekend..
does that mean you agree with me or the boy ? if its the boy he sounds like a nice reasonable young man

Im up for NEXT saturday the 19th at about 10.30

Ill also wear the same thing since those Levi's just started fitting again , ahem

Yhup, you and the boy! Well kinda I think. My brain doesn't work the same as his - I think he was trying to tell me that when he said "this coming weekend" (like when you say "this" weekend) it means the next weekend that will happen (12/13) and when he says "next weekend" it is the same as you.

I think in my brain I say "on the weekend" meaning the one that will occur first, and yours and his "next weekend" kinda feels like "next, next weekend" to me, because I am a weirdo. I wonder if there is a scientific term for people who think in this way (I might be opening myself up to some scorn, but hey, I am happy to expose my quirks for others' entertainment).

Don't worry, I understand this might be the norm, so I always clarify.

As far as I know I will be available on the 19th......
Any other takers?

[mcbell]

Shoot, my Saturday is getting filled up, especially now that we have free tix to the home show......anyone else keen for Sat (or Sun?) or could we make it 9am instead of 10:30am?

Register your interest folks! I will have premiums to share out.

[Spannahlicious]

I would be keen (i say shyly) but am up in Blenheim THIS weekend (19th lol) - so I will be in for next time.
Curious about these premiums everyone is on about. And I'm over 10kg heavier than you meg, so I'll be the one looking ginormous!

[Nutmeg]

yeah mcb my saturday has filled up too.

Lets push it out to the 26th? and hope/force julie and belle to come too

[mcbell]

Cool - the 26th is labour weekend - but I am around (having the 25th off to celebrate my birthday with a long long weekend)......so yeah, if the 26th suits everyone then let the peer pressure begin!

P.S. Spannah - A lovely Australian Cohenite posted me their Nabisco Premium crackers to try - they look very similar to saladas but they taste quite light and buttery and pastry like (more so than saladas). We don't get them here in NZ. I have hidden the final box so that I don't eat it before I have a chance to share it out.

[mcbell]

Right Christchurch members - have we all kept Saturday the 16th free for a Cohens Catch up?

I am pretty sure Nutmeg, Spannah and myself will be keen - who else is in? Shrinkabelle and JulieD (refeeder!)? Who else?

Make your interest known here!

[Nutmeg]

i have to be somewhere at 11 so i can do 10 but suggest we need more interest for this to happen lol

( translation : Not feeling so slim atm :/ so ok by me if it gets postponed again )

[Spannahlicious]

Meg- you have only 11kg to go. I've seen your pics and your looking great! McB has only four to go . A big poo will get rid of that. I will be the one with the thunder thighs looking enormous.

[mcbell]

Awww Nutmeg, I don't want to meet up with you just so I can look down my nose at you for not being at refeed yet! I want to meet up with you (all) because you are all wonderful people that I feel like I can chat to and have a lovely time with...........on the flip side, I totally understand - I could have attended the catch up before the one I did go to, but I was feeling exactly the same - not slim enough to meet new people (and like a fraud as this is my second time around in two years)!

We can meet earlier (I am sure everyone is up and breakfasted by 8am on the weekends anyway) if that suits better, or we can delay if we get no more interest (I am specifically hoping that both JulieD and Shrinkabelle will be keen to meet up again).

Lol Spannah! I wish! I totally wish the stupid 4 kg would somehow just be gone, but it doesn't quite seem to be working like that (and it is surprise birthday TOM too - yay, not), but I am totally keeping my fingers crossed for miracles to happen.

I still have premiums that I have hoarded to supply to all attendees - is that enough of an incentive????

I am still available and I am going to PM those other two (that I have met) and see if they are keen to catch up tomorrow. So far we are three (Nutmeg, me and Spannah), which I think is enough.....Any other Chch cohenites around and keen to meet up???? - doesn't matter what stage of the plan you are at - all are lovingly welcomed and will receive a serving of premiums to consume or take away (I will bring snaplock bags).

Right I will PM Julie and Shrinki, and then I gotta to get my colours done! Hopefully by the time that is done this stoooopid weather will be ready to have me sunbathe in it!

[Spannahlicious]

Try Kirsty too - she's just started.

[Nutmeg]

what was the response like McB ? Are we gonna meet at 10 at the usual place ?

[Kirsty]

I just got your invite, THANKS!! Unfortunately I am busy tomorrow but I would definitely love to come to the next one. How often do you guys meet up?

[mcbell]

Not often enough! Just as often as everyone can think to organise one!

No response from the other girls yet Nutmeg, will keep you posted!

[mcbell]

Shrinky is in Dunners - and is totally not going to come all the way back to catch up with us !!!!! So she is a no for tomorrow.

[mcbell]

Haven't heard from Julie D yet - but I think we should do it - Nutmeg and Spannah.

Let me know if you guys are still keen....will check the forum again tomorrow morning to make sure it won't be mcbell no-mates tomorrow morning.....

Remember, there will be premiums!

[Nutmeg]

Yes lets do it. Coffee House on Montreal street 10am ( i gotta leave at 10.45 so dun be laterS)

I fell off the wagon the day after the last meet up so get me back on it please McB !
