No, this is not about bereavement, but perhaps a similar feeling of "Was it something I/we said?" I too have tried to pm a GNetter only to be told that is not a valid nickname, so susiecb and littlenellie why did you go?
Of course it is your prerogative and I don't mean to be nosey, but it is sad, especially when you suspect there might be trouble at home and can no longer send support. So if either of you is out there under a different name - I wish you well and still hope it wasn't something we said flowers

I've been busy sending email addresses to our Nellie..nine to date. I've told her that Lil's bar is in a state of disarray [nothing new there!] hmm Thanks to the goodwill messages. I'm certain that she'll be chuffed. smile

Pogs and OGM, I agree, she usually does come back, but have a feeling she might not this time.

Lets hope she come's back in the future she is sorely missed and the cobwebs are starting to show in Lil's bar and the optic's need refilling asap not that I am casting aspurtions at anyone inparticular that is.grin

Within the past few mins I've received a long email from our Nellie She misses us. I have tried to convey our affection for her. I told her...if you should ever wander into Lil's bar, you'll get one heck of a welcome. grin

Great news soop. Thank you! smile

Marelli Fri 19-Oct-12 16:24:36

I'm sure you were able to convey our affection for Nellie very well, soop. You have a away with words that hits the spot (if you know what I mean!) flowers

soop Fri 19-Oct-12 16:44:45

smile Marelli and when. I cannot tell you how delighted I was to have a proper message - as opposed to a text. I'm very fond of our *Nellie smile

soop Fri 19-Oct-12 16:56:04

I wasn't intending to shout. Cannot understand why above message is in bold print. confused

I'm glad that Nellie is in touch with you, soop. smile

soop Fri 19-Oct-12 17:17:21

Passed on your message Bags smile

soop, perhaps your friendship is enough for nellie for the time being. I'm glad you are feeling better about her smile

numberplease you would be very welcome to join us and swell our few numbers, Nellie will be there amongst us and no plans are made yet. Boston isn't far from any of us so we just need to look at the map as well as find a nice place for lunchsmile

MaggieP, I can`t afford the train again so soon, but if I may be so bold (and cheeky!) as to suggest Kings Lynn, my daughter-in-law says she`ll drive me there. I did think that with it not being far from here, the train fare would be affordable, but for some strange reason, there are 2 changes, and the fare is well over £30, stupid when we can drive there in about 45 minutes!

Also, HURRAY for the return of Smoluski (aka Nellie)!!

merlotgran Sat 20-Oct-12 16:28:34

Kings Lynn is fine for me. smile

MaggieP Sat 20-Oct-12 16:39:32

It's certainly fine for me too.sunshine

Smoluski Sat 20-Oct-12 17:18:04

And me also....smile

numberplease Sat 20-Oct-12 17:55:41

Well, then, it`s certainly fine for me!

Nonu Sat 20-Oct-12 18:03:47

glassortwo Sat 20-Oct-12 19:14:37

Oh its a long time since I was in Kings Lynn, enjoy your meeting.

Yes jingle come on back.

soop Sun 21-Oct-12 12:01:47

Take lots of photos. Kings Lynn is a lovely town. Just the place for a gathering of lovely GNetters. smile

numberplease Sun 21-Oct-12 17:10:33

All that`s needed now is a date, a time, and a rendezvous.

Smoluski Sun 21-Oct-12 17:25:06
