Feeling very envious that Scottish Grannies have got themselves organised.
Are there any grannies within striking distance of a Midlands centre who would like to do the same? I am in Milton Keynes but trains to Brum are frequent and fast. Any takers?

Yes Jeni bring a banner! Shall I bring balloons? Who is going to write a song we can all learn?

Nana I wonder if I know you, I used to live in Leek Woottton?

Only moved to Warwick 5 years ago. Nice place Leek Wooton. I used to go to the Warwickshire but gave that up when it got overcrowded.

I look forward to meeting you Nanad you live in a lovely area.

I know the date and place must posted somewhere, but am blowed if I can find it. Problem is when I start to read the 13 pages of posts !!!!!!! I forget what I m looking for and get too interested in just reading them. hmm

Train tickets bought, started thinking of purple gear, don't possess green and white will have to be best pearls! (That'll confuse 'em Jeni).

Anyone up for a guessing game? Instead of 'Who do you think you are?' we could have:
' Who do you think I am?' Only for those of us who haven't yet posted a picture of course.

Really looking forward to our spacial day.

Thanks again Gracesmum flowers

Or after a glass or two (no pun intended) "Who do I think I am" grin

Oldgreymare Sun 19-Aug-12 08:53:15

Nanadogsbody I've forgotten too, perhaps someone will remind us, and I voted for it ...... heeeeeeeeeeeelp! confused

Tearoom at the Brum art gallery between about 1230/1300. Wearing purple, white and green. Jeni with big banner but I don't know what it will say! Wearing lables/badges with GN name and real name (only first I think)

Someone tell me if I have got it wrong.

Nanadogsbody Sun 19-Aug-12 12:56:20

Thank AlisonMA and the date????

Hey I'm not bringing a banner. I can't carry it! It was only a suggestion!
If some one can make one
How about

BIRMINGHAM CHAPTER

HELL'S GRANNYS

grin

Don't forget the grin!

AlisonMA Sun 19-Aug-12 13:43:10

oH Jeni I thought you were going to wrap it round and round your stick! grin

jeni Sun 19-Aug-12 14:09:15

I don't have a stick! I have two very smart (and expensive) black carbon fibre crutches! [pruod] emoticon.

jeni Sun 19-Aug-12 14:09:43

Oh, with fairy lights grin

AlisonMA Sun 19-Aug-12 17:08:06

My humblest apologies Jeni I didn't mean to downgrade your RR crutches! grin

jeni Sun 19-Aug-12 17:11:30

I'm VERY UPSET and may not come now![sniff] emoticon!grin

AlisonMA Sun 19-Aug-12 17:14:17

Just tell me what sort of grovelling apology you want and I'll give it to you because we will have to cancel the whole event if you don't come. Imagine the flack I would then get from eveyone else - I'd have to leave the country. Going to get a large wine now in order to cope!

grrrranny Sun 19-Aug-12 17:32:50

Oh oh I thought we were going to play the 'can you guess who I am' game to see if we can remember who we are - a kind of dementia test - but if we wear stickers at the beginning then it won't work and it sounded like fun [wail] grin

jeni Sun 19-Aug-12 17:42:19

alii should imagine they'd say "well done* and buy you a double!
I've got to come now! I've just sent off for my disabled train pass!

grrrranny Sun 19-Aug-12 17:58:04

No - I hope everyone can come - I'm looking forward to us all descending on the tea rooms and everything and and and [wail again]

AlisonMA Sun 19-Aug-12 18:44:29

DH is threatening to tell the Birmingham Post and the Midlands Today programme so you will all have to make it worth their while and be VERY INTERESTING!!

Oldgreymare Mon 20-Aug-12 10:35:37

grrrranny I shall do as I'm told hmm and wear a badge, with my name on but my GN name will be on the reverse, which I shall pluck out of my handbag at the last minute. The thought of walking around B'ham clearly labelled 'Oldgreymare' would do nothing for my image! grin
