Cate in NZ Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Is it a sign of children being back at school- more of us having a little free time . That said I wasn't one of the 22, I've been at work this morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 That's the beauty of working on a computer Kate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 Ah now that's a shame Dan. We need to break the 25 online at once record! We could have done with you !! A few of us met up in July but it would be great to have a BIG OMLET GET TOGETHER - we'll have to nag the guys at Omlet HQ, won't we!

Mel (& Paul) Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 That would be a GREAT idea - just need to think of somewhere in the middle of all of us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Omlet HQ is in the middle of us all - my garden isn't large enough for a bigger get-together than we had in July! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Just been looking at the photo of that! Oxford is not too far for us (couple of hours or so) - but it does depend on this fuel crisis Had call from husband at 6am this morning (dont worry I was already up!) to say there were already queues at petrol stations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Oxford's not far for us but it's a long way for those who are more northerly. We need to find a big park or something like that which is bang splat in the middle of the country so we can have a mega Eglu owners picnic or something like that! Burghley Park's big enough but I don't know if it's splat in the middle of the country enough! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Birmingham is bang splat in the middle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louise Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 The NEC's quite big Only kidding. A get together would be great hopefully I can get to the next one too. In fact there are a few of us 'north of the borderers' now maybe we can sort a minibus or something Maybe the others could let me know if they are interested by PM failing that I have 2 seats in my car so I can always bring one other The first get together was such good fun we really need to try to have another BIGGER one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachel19 Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 My geography is terrible - how far away is Birmingham from South Coast? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 About 6 inches in my atlas................ sorry, about 160 miles from Poole - about 3 hours drive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnieJ Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Can I join in? - my chicks arrive on Sept 23rd so probably won't be signing on at 4pm. Will try to log in later to check out the news and the record. Any predictions of numbers so far - it must be more than 25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Course you can, Annie. The more the merrier and even if we don't break the record, it's going to be a bit of fun anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Doh....Of all the dates! I don't think I'll be near a computer that afternoon or evening after all I'll try and log on at 7, 8 & 9 am to get a few people in training...and hourly through the night for any stray birds?

Cate in NZ Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 I'm here already Lesley, logged on early to be first in the cake queue Actually, a day off today, so just checking up on the forum before I tackle the housework. When it's the children and homework I call it delaying tactics... when it's me and the forum it's an essential bit of keeping up to date with things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Right that's the calendar set, out-of-office written and OH warned of my impending lateness tonight. Speak to you all later. I just hope work doesn't start checking my internet usage levels or I'll be in trouble. Speaking of which - http://www.ourchickens.com was mentioned in the Metro this morning for chicken webcam fun!

Guest Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 It's today??! I forgot! Typical - I agreed to start work early tonight, but will pop in for the 4 pm start. Will you all still be on when I get home at 11? Is that a stupid question??! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 I have it marked in my diary At a meeting last week I was filling the rest of the dept in on activities for this week got to Fridays page and said 'no nothing you guys need to be involved in' even though in large letters scrawled across the page is 4pm Forum meeting Omlet I will just be a little late home tonight. I won't be here at 11 Shona but I am sure some of the others will still be here but I will raise a glass to you all with my dinner which will be an omelette tonight in celebration of the record Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
