Homecoming - The Report
Hmmmmm as I didn't get to do much at this convention I'll let the others go into more detail about how much of a great time was had by all.... 
On the whole, Scotland was beautiful and the scenery amazing (being a London Lass, anything resembling countryside is pleasant on the eye - I'm too used to tower blocks!).
The event was brilliant - everyone was sooo friendly and surprise, surprise Georgia stole the show (along with some more spoons.....
well, they helped keep her quiet!)
A BIG hello to (in no particular order)
Yvonne - My butt is still stinging
you have a hard slap on you and Daddy says hello!
Sara-Angel - Always a pleasure and you can babysit anytime
DJ - I can't believe how quiet you are - you *really* need to outdo Yvonne - show her what you're made of!
Lio - Baby Kitty is following your footsteps
She'll make a big Kitty yet!
VG - Georgia thanks you for the Pringles and promises she was a good girl
Kelly - Yep - you've finally corrupted my daughter.... Boyz, boyz, boyz
And to all the crew that made the weekend memorable - it was great - just wish I wasn't tied to babysitting Georgia - but that will change come Eclipse
If I've forgotten anyone - sorry - but I'm soooooo tired and trying to catch up with housework
A few piccies can be seen http://uk.photos.yahoo.com/bc/jolawoplin/lst?&.dir=/Homecoming&.src=ph&.view=t
Over to the rest of you...............

Well i'm finally back from Edinburgh!!
What a weekend. I'm knackered! I wish i could have caught the Friday night party but because of that silly exam (which went well) i had to leave.
The talks were good and the Danny/George/Harry combination was a winner! Saturday night, well lots of drink was had and dancing, got to bed at 5am and was ill the next day for it.
Hello's to all (waaay to many to list) and thanks to Spikeo for sharing a room with me...yes i can be messy i know!!
And it was a great con, just wish i could get to Eclipse...damm exams. Speaking of which i'd better get and do more studying

Glad that everyone had a good time, I've been reading through the egroup to get reactions too.
Still wish I could have been there to see Tony and Harry but looking forward to Eclipse

Blimey
Really didn't know what to expect...fair to say I was completely blown away by what a cool time I had
Not much point asking me about the guest talks or anything cause I didn't attend them (well, a couple on Saturday but not really anything notable I can remember about them, so
)
But the parties...ohhh the parties
Friday night, the cocktail party wasn't what I expected...but then I didn't know what to expect since this was my first S14 con. After the guests showed up it was cool...even if I couldn't hear Danny when he asked to see my tattoo
Strangely enough details of the weekend keep coming and going in and out of my head...that's what drinking far too much vodka will do to ya
Just...oh lord. The weekend was great, the parties were great, the company was fantastic (as always)...thank yous to everyone I spoke to and spent time with, apologies to those I didn't (Jola I'm gonna talk to you one of these days - be afraid )...roll on next weekend 
(Oh, and if you hear anything about me or see dodgy photos - blame Yvonne )

Right,
I gotta be quick cos I'm in Edinburgh Easy internet, and I only got 5 mins left.
For the people going to Eclipse:
Charisma is so much like Cordelia, questions on shopping and shoes and mens magazines photo shoots will get the best answers.
Questions on Buffy will usually get very short answers.
My quetion:
"What did you thing of the musical episode and would you like to do something similar in Angel"
Answer
"No, I can't sing - next question"
I'm really running out of time, but what I'm trying to say is spent some of this week thinging about and researching good questions otherwise the Q&A will dry up very soon and it'll just be, well, painfull.
eerm, I'm sounding a bit negative.
Don't know why cos I had a brilliant weekend despite a wee bit of Scottish con politics (there was a bit of a boycott).
The parties were great, the people were greater, I loved everyone that was there.
30 secs left,
will write more when I get back to London.
Bye

Finally I get round to posting! With me living at my dads ( without internet ) atm, I rarely get a chance to come online.
Well, I had a good weekend, although I wasnt feeling well all the time.
I think it was just too stressy, with exams just being over and no time to plan anything for homecoming.
First of all i have to say I've fallen in love.... absolutely! Georgia was a star ( as Jola already stated) and a really sweet girly. But what is this all about spoons? I thought babies like dolls or Toys.. but no.. its spoons..
Too tired to enumerate everybody who put up with me and my rather boring, tired, quiet and moody personality
I'll try to be umm.. more interesting next time ( which is... tomorrow)
Oooh, and Eclipse will be the first con ever i do costumes.
Been sewing all day over last 3 days. I am sooo glad i'm finished... The first 6 hours may have been fun.. but now i really need a break
Unfortunately its not exactly the way i wanted it to be, but then... it is my first try. So dont laugh.. pretty please!
See ya tomorrow. Oh, and Len: may the force be with you. Prepare to meet senator amidala.

Well I've just got back from Scotland and I'm absolutely shattered. I can't believe some of you guys have the energy to do it all again!
I really enjoyed the weekend. The hotel was great and the company fantastic. If I could afford to do Eclipse I'd be there like a shot
Yvonne - I don't know where you get the energy from! You're always great company - hopefully see you soon babe
Sara - Always fantastic to see you sweetie. I think my parents want to adopt you! Hope you managed to recover in time for this weekend
Jola and Len - I think I've bumped into you a number of times before but this was the first time we actually got to have a good natter (and yes, I am very quiet!) Georgia's absolutely lovely
EW - Haven't seen you for aaaaaaaaaaaaages babe! Hope you have fun this weekend.
Spikeo, Lioness, ELC, VG, CJL and everyone else, good to see you again. Hopefully I'll be doing another one next year
