Please join us for coffee and a natter in Reading on 27th October (Monday) in the usual place (John Lewis coffee shop) any time from 10.30. Some of us stay on for lunch: some of us don't.

Dustyangel, Deedaa, Noodles and myself will all be there. It would be lovely to have quite a few more if possible, especially people who have never been before. We have a lovely morning and don't stop talking !

Bump

Greenfinch Fri 10-Oct-14 22:26:33

Bump again. I am away for the next week. Will someone bump it up again midweek please. Thanks smile

Our (Reading) school is on half term that week - but hopefully JL wont be too full for you to natter in peace smile

Deedaa Sat 11-Oct-14 20:40:09

The last time GS1 was in JL he pointed out that there was nobody younger than me in the cafe, so hopefully shouldn't be too many people.

Deedaa Tue 14-Oct-14 21:48:58

Looks as if half term will be good for me as SiL will be at home and I won't have to bring GS2 with me smile (He is a darling but I do worry about jumping on and off trains with someone else's baby)

Will have to miss this meeting [it's half term here too] and I shall be on grandparent duty. Have a nice meet -up [the bangers and mash are good in JL.] smile

Are you going to join us Chippingin ? Are you a new member ? I don't recognise the name.

Greenfinch Fri 24-Oct-14 12:07:39

May I gently remind you of our meet-up on Monday from 10.30 in the John Lewis coffee shop in Reading town centre. There are 4 of us at the moment which is lovely but 5 or 6 would be even better. Looking forward to seeing everybody.

dustyangel Fri 24-Oct-14 22:23:00

I'm looking forward to it.

Deedaa Sun 26-Oct-14 20:16:27

Just checked train times. I think I should get to JL about elevenish. If I leave any earlier I think the station car park is more expensive.

Greenfinch Sun 26-Oct-14 20:27:11

Very sensible*Deedaa*. Looking forward to seeing everyone. I think we all know each other so there shouldn't be any need for the colourful scarves !

Greenfinch Sun 26-Oct-14 23:03:04

Don't forget the meet-up in JL tomorrow.

Greenfinch Mon 27-Oct-14 08:13:43

See you all later.grin

Deedaa Mon 27-Oct-14 21:01:21

Success! Found a very noisy plastic tool bench which lights up. He will love it and his parents will hate me grin

Greenfinch Mon 27-Oct-14 21:56:51

Good for you Deedaa.Sounds just right for the little one. smile

It was good to meet up and catch up today.

dustyangel Tue 28-Oct-14 18:46:42

It certainly was good to meet and catch up with you all. I wouldn't have believed we could sit and chat that long. grin Thank you for arranging it all Greenfinch

Greenfinch Wed 29-Oct-14 08:13:28

It doesn't take much arranging dustyangel and is well worth it to meet people "in the flesh". It was great to have such a long chat with you on Monday. I hope your visit on Tuesday was as successful.

Greenfinch Sun 02-Nov-14 17:43:04

It has been suggested that we have another meet-up before Christmas so we need to get thinking now .If anyone would like to suggest a few dates, time and venue ,please put them on this thread or send me a pm.
Thanks smile

Deedaa Sun 02-Nov-14 23:01:35

Will give it some thought. Life has become rather complicated as SiL has just heard that the operation he's been waiting for has been brought forward by 3 months! We're not sure what his recovery will involve so no idea at the moment if I shall be free.

Greenfinch Mon 03-Nov-14 17:50:37

Greenfinch Thu 06-Nov-14 16:08:34
