how cool is this? HUGE thanks JJ - i've signed up! and Then checked the start time (0900 - bloody hell! who is the target audience? is everyone else medicated? do they know about rush hour in london & the railworks at victoria/london bridge?!)* Finally saw the link to the PDF programme. realised i'd already misremembered the date, and rather than the easy-to-manage Thurs 21 January it's the rather-tricky-to-make Friday 22 January. ( there's 15 mins for coffee & 45 mins for lunch. are all the advisers medicated?) *i can now pass an exam in how to get there from my house, the station facilities, building facilities... jan ? computermandan ? Note to self: less coffee, more meditation

this looks a cool idea to me. not that it's just an idea. its clearly past that. 9am arrival could prove interesting. January is next year though right. just kidding.

I've just read your post several times contrarymary - I was trying to work out if you were coming or not - just saw you wrote at the top that you signed up Kathy's coming and I've messaged Jan. @planetdave I did see you and Roland there ( I didn't say anything cos you'd not mentioned it on here, so I didn't know whether I should) - what are you talking about?

Brilliant JJ - be fab to see Kathymel again petra ? i know it's a long way for most people (and about 4 miles from me, so no doubt i'll be the last to arrive) but a rare opportunity

I am even closer so have more excuse for being late.
Edited for a bit more detail. It is a mile from my house. One bus ride but at that time it is probably easier to walk as buses are busy. But it an uphill journey (the second part of "Denmark Hill" is a hint).

It's only a slope at that point!
I used to walk from The Oval after a lovely ride on the Northern Line. Deep Joy.

has that agenda changed or have i misremembered (again)? i missed a lot the first few reads relieved to see two coffee breaks rather than starting to speak at 9am. and i could have sworn there was another workshop... seems an unusual mix

And, for once, it's a completely level playing field.
I am now having 'option paralysis' about how to get there, whether to stay etc etc (and if I don't decide soon there will be no options left, but bound to cost £££££££).

it looks like I am going to have to travel during the night before with zero sleep, and work myself across london from either Euston or Victoria (based on megabus vs train) for 9 in the morning. What fun.

It turned out I am double booked and even though I am so desperate to attend this, my other commitment is also super important and would leave some people facing problems. So Im out!
But guess what? - Ive given my ticket to my sister, who has promised to attend. She has ADHD too and will benefit from this, perhaps more than me.

I only just found out recently on the 10th December via an email from AADD-UK... wish I had known about it sooner otherwise I would have had it booked. I am from Northern Ireland, we have a lot of ambition and drive to bring Northern Ireland into the Adult ADHD scene in the mainland, after all it should be a national effort. A few of us from the charity I volunteer at want to go... but for now.. we are just on the waiting list. Completely gutted as I am not optimistic about getting tickets Shame really as we would love to bring Northern Ireland representation to the conference and network with you all

hopefully if there are enough people on the waiting list they'll realise and either increase places or set up another in the near future...

Still on the waiting list though Those who know that they cannot go should definitly cancel their attendance on the Eventbrite system ASAP in order to allow others the oppurtunity.

Roland (oops, just outed her ) and I are both speaking, on different topics. Outed yourself too, PD - or does everyone except me already know who you are? I'm coming too - had the ticket for ages (obviously, as they "sold" out so quickly), but have now finally taken the next step and booked a hotel for the night before. Only the train journey to sort now - that's the really complicated bit! So looking forward to meeting everyone! Thank you, JJ , for letting us know about it.

I wonder why they have so few tickets for this? I hope the fact that so many are signing up for the waiting list goes to show how many are seeking help and they put on more events.
This sounds like the perfect kind of conference to take your partner to... So they can be educated too. As I imagine I'll be all inspired about helping myself initially... Then forget and have no one to remind me...

Some people have already met me and I'm easy to stalk these days - a diligent stalker would know which parliamentary candidate I campaigned for, and my inside leg measurement, within five minutes

There's no jiggery-pokery going on, it's a smallish venue and more demand than they expected. Hopefully they'll have feedback on this already (and if they don't then I'll tell them) and put another on quite soon.
