Some of us will be staying over at Hyatt Saturday night and no doubt get together. I used to organise the Pink Carnation Supper (wear one for ID ) each year but not sure I will bother this time as I know three others there already .

On the Sunday you will all have your name badges anyway . I'm "staff" so different badge but look out for me anyway. Two sticks and glasses should help..

I’m coming up from the south on Sunday morning so won’t be able to meet up Sat night . Would have done otherwise 😪

Hi, I would have loved to attend, and to chat to you and others with AF, but as my attacks are now happening so frequently, in the night and without warning, I can no longer afford to book anything in advance that I might not be well enough to actually do. I’ve lost too much money this year as it is. So I wish you a great time and please report back on here if there are any interesting new developments😊

You can get it on line, this is what I do, Birmingham is too far for a day trip.

[Camelia23 in reply to Outsidethelines]

So sorry to read this. Hope you get things sorted. I'm hoping to go, trains permitting!

[Ossie7 in reply to Outsidethelines]

Sorry to hear your AF is so unstable at the moment . I’ve been there but currently have had the best run off NSR for years ( almost a year ) , on dronedarone and 2.5 mgs bisoprolol . I’ve been exercising a lot but still need to lose more weight . That is a constant battle 🥲. Really hope you get some help with controlling the AF and reducing your burden very soon . Regards . Amanda

[Outsidethelines in reply to Ossie7]

Thanks Amanda. If it’s any comfort, I’ve managed to lose nearly a stone this year through careful diet and exercise, but it hasn’t done anything to improve my AF or my blood pressure🥲. Nice to have my clothes fit again though 👍

[Ossie7 in reply to Outsidethelines]

I know , I lost 3 stones 2 years ago and then had my worst ever AF episode ever . No excuse not to keep trying g though as being lighter obviously healthier xxx

I’ve a ticket but will be getting the catchup recordings as I do t live near Birmingham.

It would have been fab to meet another member of the "ozzie" family, even if you don't spell our name correctly, but sadly I won't be there. 🤔

Hope the day exceeds your hopes.

Well my ‘Ossie’ is after the designer ‘Ossie Clarke ‘ , yours must be after ‘Ozzie Osborne ‘ !

Here’s my little Ossie

hi how do you get to know about this? I would love to go but this Sunday I am actually speaking at a menopause event!

[Ossie7 in reply to Pigleywigley]

It was advertised on this site and I got an ‘early bird ‘ ticket , meaning that the ticket was a little cheaper . Only £40 so I don’t think that’s bad as it includes lunch x
