Hello everyone - who else in in Harrow?

Charleygirl Thu 04-Sep-14 16:38:01

Whoops, sorry, I cannot make Thursday the 18th September until after 12.30pm but I can all day on Wednesday the 17th.

Hello! I've come back from holiday. Welcome Margsus and Hermione. Have we nearly got a date? Looks like it's either 17th or afternoon of 18th. I shall try to pin down the floating birthday lunch I also need to attend that week. Sorry mrshat that you can't do Sept! Maybe the next one?

Starling Mon 08-Sep-14 12:15:28

OK. Let's make it the afternoon of Thurs 18th in Pinner

To confirm time and venue I will PM the following people:
Charleygirl, Grannynise, Margsus, Hermione - and mrshat just in case.

Please check your inboxes! (I haven't actually used private messages on here yet so let's hope it works!)

I am PM'ing to avoid any strange non-Gransnetters online coming to gawp at us!

Hello Harrow people, about to send you another PM regarding how to identify the table! Please check your inboxes again!

Starling Tue 16-Sep-14 18:58:23

Hermione - are you able to come to the meet-up? Hope you received the PMs! They contain vital information!

Hermione Wed 17-Sep-14 12:36:09

Thanks Starling I have got the message, I've had a really hectic week since coming home from holiday, elderly friend had a fall and my son flew in for a flying visit what with airport runs and running to and fro to Milton Keynes its been hectic.
Will do my best to come on Thursday barring unforseen events..lol!!

Starling Wed 17-Sep-14 12:48:35

You have been busy Hermione - hope to see you tomorrow - think of it as having a rest!

Hermione Wed 17-Sep-14 12:49:33

I was just checking everyone's profile pages but no pics added sadly never mind at least I have a little info and we do seem to have things in common lol.

Starling Wed 17-Sep-14 13:19:49

Hmmm - photos would be helpful but I am not photogenic! (There is a very grumpy looking woman in our holiday photos even though I was trying to smile.)

Hermione Wed 17-Sep-14 13:22:25

I have plenty in my profile if anyone wants a peek..

Starling Wed 17-Sep-14 13:24:19

Your name isn't in blue so I can't get to your profile? It's not a live link.

Starling Wed 17-Sep-14 13:29:34

There's a section at the bottom of the profile page that has to be changed to "Visible to all Gransnetters" then click on "Save".

Hermione Wed 17-Sep-14 15:03:11

Thanks.. I've PM'd you.

Starling Wed 17-Sep-14 18:20:27

OK have replied!

Margsus Wed 17-Sep-14 18:48:40

Looking forward to meeting all you ladies tomorrow. I know what you mean about the photos Starling, for some reason when I am in photos I look like a short fat woman in late middle age. Can't think why....

Starling Wed 17-Sep-14 19:41:19

The woman in my photos is frumpy and has untidy hair. I wish she'd stop following us around!

Hermione Thu 18-Sep-14 11:20:29

Its ages since I was in Pinner is there any free parking anywhere? thanks

Starling Thu 18-Sep-14 11:24:32

Charleygirl may be able to help you with this, if she is online. I know there are parking meters on the opposite side of the road and two or three local car parks but probably not free (I am not a driver).

Hermione Thu 18-Sep-14 11:32:25

Thanks Starling, a pet hate of mine are parking charges.. haha thats cos I'm a scrooge. No matter I'll find somewhere ok.

Starling Thu 18-Sep-14 11:33:40

I probably won't be online again before we meet up so see you then.

Starling Thu 18-Sep-14 11:34:38

(Sorry crossed in the ether with your last post.)

Hermione Thu 18-Sep-14 18:44:52

It was so nice to put faces to the names to faces ladies and learn a little about each other.

Margsus Thu 18-Sep-14 20:19:04

Agreed Hermione, it was a very nice hour

Charleygirl Thu 18-Sep-14 21:22:05

I agree, very pleasant. We stayed for another hour and then made our separate ways home.

Grannynise Fri 19-Sep-14 00:52:38

Thank you, Starling, for organising us. Looking forward to the next time!
