Hello, just new here, but I would love to come on the 20th. Myself and partner, I will try and see if I can get a baby sitter but if not I will bring him along (just a few months old). It will be good to meet other T1s out there and T1 mums too!
I have a dummy in one hand and a bib in the other and Im not afraid to use it!

So just to let you know, we have 34 people RSVP'd for the Christmas party + 2 kids + me and my partner. Should be fun.

A few old-timers and lots of new people - including a few that are nervous and saying they've never been to anything before, never met other people with diabetes. An interesting mix. Hope ye oldies will be lovely and kind to the newbies!!

See y'all Wednesday.

Last minute entrants or extra ring-ins are fine. Just come along.

Cheers, Kate

'fraid I'm an apology for this one. Would go if still in Aus but bit far to come from China. Make sure someone posts pics and all have a great time. I'm going to Beijing for a couple of nights next week so will make sure I have a drink to join in the festivities from afar.

Chelle, don't forget the Spike and Andro heads on sticks if they won't be there so they can be in the photos.
Half the people you know are below average.

II don't have RSVPs from any of those people mentioned unless they masquerade under different names. As per my other post, looks like being a very varied group it looks like - lots of newbies and peopls that don't necessarily visit the website but are interested to meet some other Ds. Cheers, Kate
