Re: June Meetup: Toronto, Friday 20 June
Sorry, I only just saw this! Thanks for asking 
I was very fortunate to be offered some work for a company in the UK working as a freelancer online. Unfortunately, the hours available to me tend to be unsocial ones (as they are UK based and mostly when UK staff are not available) and I often work from 1:00pm (weekends) or 7:00pm (weekdays) until the wee small hours, finishing between 3:00 and 4:00 am.
Needs must though - and it feels fabulous to actually have an income again (though having to set aside 24% for tax and CPP as self employed does reduce it somewhat)!

indeed. On the subject of BE-ers unable to make the official meet-up: I'm going to be in/around Barrie from Monday 16th, then Toronto Thursday 19th to Sunday 22nd. I'm open to meeting up for a coffee/cocktail outside the official meetup if anyone is so inclined

I've been trying to not use the internet/fb/anything addictive too much so not been on here for a bit, and although I would love to meet up again, we're moving house on Saturday morning so my presence is definitely required
Have fun peeps...

Alrighty, so I was meant to be going for coffee with a friend beforehand, but that's just been cancelled... so I can pretty well get there whenever. My plans were to get into Toronto for about 5:30... anyone else going to be around that early?

We're aiming for this side of 6 pm. Could even be a bit earlier just depending on travel time from RH.
