You would need skype credits for calling phone or mobile. Skype premium would have been used for conference video calls.

Trying to schedule around everyone's timezone is a bitch and unfeasible. Don't even try.
Just pick a day & a time & advertise what its going to be with a standard time that can be checked online. Not everyone is ever going to be able to make it. If they want to, they will make it happen. Change the time slightly for the next one so that those who couldn't make it before have a greater chance the next time and keep rotating.
Great ideas and that way everyone will eventually have a time that works for them.

OK, it's not easy to pick a time that will catch everyone's time zones suitably, so I'm gonna suggest we'll have the thing on all day - people can drop in and out at their convenience.
So, in light of that, how does Saturday 26th May sound?
I do want to know which program / service everyone prefers - then I can announce it up there ^^^^^

I have skype on my computer so I would perfer skype. I haven't tried any of the others that have been suggested. If anyone would like to give me their skpe name I can add them to my skype. If we go with skype you would have to add people to your skype that you don't have on here. I might try to be on in morning or afternoon on May 26.
I probably can't join on the 26th because I will be at my husbands house in Ontario and I don't know what he has planned. If I can make some time though, I will definitely join and say hi!
Sadly I won't be able to join as I will be traveling back home from visiting my grandparents and my little brother is also visiting town that weekend, so I'm going to be pretty booked that day. Hope it goes well, though.
We can do Skype if more people are open to that. My Skype name is StitchPlease. Also BMH may not know, but that is Memorial Day in the States. maybe we could push it back a weekend?
