Manchester Meet-up!

On Saturday 9th March i finally went to my first Philofaxy meet-up in Manchester!

Someone however really didn't want me to go.... 

First i had my neighbours having a party til 6am (which was when i had to be up) with music so loud i was practically jigging in bed - as was the entire flat.

Then i couldn't get out of my flat door in the morning as it was stuck fast - i managed it after 5 frantic minutes.

Then my train was cancelled, then they found us a service to take us from Hull to Leeds then change to get to Manchester Piccadilly!

I waited for Steve to arrive so i didn't get lost in Manchester and we made our way to the restaurant.

The meal was lovely but a tad expensive for my student purse!

It was nice to finally meet people whose blogs i read and people who i had things in common with!

I also got the chance to meet some new filofaxes! 

I loved the Osterley and Panama and got to smell Steve's new Malden!

And i have officially seen the fattest slimline ever in the form of Lucy's Adelphi

Tony made us these fabulous cards to remember the day;

And i finally got some Philofaxy cards from Steve!

We then went onto Paperchase (which had 3 floors!) and bought lots of lovely things.

It was well worth the long trip and the cold weather!

Lovely to meet you all :)
