Today is a day that I have been quite excited about for some time. The Philofaxy North West meet-up.
I decided last night which filofaxes I was going to take with me and packed them into rather a large bag. Larger than I am used to carrying! I planned my train journey and wrote the times down in my filofax - of course.
This morning I got the train to Manchester and set off nor really knowing who I would meet or what to expect. When I got to our meeting place in the BHS cafe, there were 2 people sitting at a table with a little sign saying Philofaxy on it. I was relieved as I expected to have to look for people waving their filos in the air or something. There were another two arrive after me. We were a fabulous filofax five!
There was me, Anthony, Lucy, Jenny and Alison. We soon had our filofaxes piled on the table and were having fun comparing inserts & ideas. We were that busy talking that we almost forgot about the shopping part!
We did manage lunch as well, which Anthony very kindly (and very naughtily) insisted on paying for (for all of us!!!)
We shopped at TK Maxx, Ryman and Paperchase. I could have spent some serious amounts of money in Paperchase if I had not been time restricted due to having a train to catch!!! Seriously, I could happily spend a whole day in that place, and a second day in TK Maxx.
Well I hope someone out there enjoys my first blog as much as I have enjoyed my day in Manchester. We have decided to do it on a fairly regular basis as we all got on famously. What a lovely bunch!
