Glad to see the back of you

As if

"A nice day for it" !!!! The get together I mean, not tying
absent to a lampost

kittylester Now look what you have done – putting idea into their heads.

absent as you know we need no encouragement.

Raise a glass to absent friends, have a wonderful time, we are all with you in spirit (G&T)

Enjoy your day everyone lots of love and good wishes being sent from me I do wish I had the time to get to meet everyone . enjoy.

One of these days Glamma

Good morning everyone. It was touch and go whether I would be able to make it today after DIL had a nasty accident at the stables on Thursday night. She was badly kicked and trampled by two horses and spent 36 hours in hospital . Happy to report she is now home with my son and their three children nursing cuts, bruises a fractured cheekbone and a broken leg.

For me the Glad to see the back of Absent tour is very much back on

See you all soon.

Have a very happy day, everyone. I wish I could join you, but look forward to seeing the photos of absent's send-off. Cheers, everyone

gilly glad DIL is home, see you at the station.

Have a lovely time. Help Absent enjoy the day but still remember it!

Please don't tie absent to a lamp post - I want to have a ready made friend in Wakefield!
I hope you all post some pictures (remember Facebook too) so at least I will recognise her when we meet!
Enjoy yourselves, (muttered enviously) .

gillybob How awful. I am so glad that your daughter-in-law is home again and I hope all her injuries heal up soon and completely. I am glad too that you will still be able to come to the GTSTBOY absent lunch. It wouldn't be the same without you.

Everyone No, please don't tie absent to a lamp post. [trembling lip emoticon]

Wish I could be there with you, but will be thinking of you all painting the town. Have fun and safe journeys, all of you.

Thank you for a fabulous lunch Absent -have to confess I'm feeling slightly the worse for wear but imagine you'll be feeling even worse
Hope Glass and Gilly got you home ok
Gilly only just seen this thread - hope your DiL is better soon!
Lovely to see everyone, hope you all had a safe journey back.
Absent - Bon Voyage, will be thinking of you x

Thank you absent from me also - a lovely, lovely lunch and super to see everyone, but sorry it had to be a "farewell" lunch, you will be missed.

A lovely time, absent hope you soon make enough friends down under to have as good a time with a dozen dizzy women as we all had today.

Hope you didn't fall off those heels on the way home.

Thank you from me too, absent. It was lovely

gillybob, Ouch! for your DiL. Hope she feels, and is, better soon.

And huge thanks from me too (she squeaks from the back). It was a truly scrumptious lunch and I too have a slight headache - must have been the rail travel I think . It was lovely to meet everyone again. Have fun absent. NZ doesn't know what's coming!!!

And it's thanks from me too - I didn't realise that you were picking up the tab for us all Absent so generous. I had a lovely day and enough hugs to last for a good while. Great to see everyone again and to meet Jane, Nanaej, and Yayajen.

Look out NZ, here she comes!

Good morning everyone and a huge thank you to you all for making me feel welcome and especially to Absent for your generosity and for being you..<3

Which facebook page will pics be on?

This is mine...https://www.facebook.com/GransnetNorthYorkshire

A huge thank you from me too, Absent. It was a lovely day although it is difficult to speak to everyone when there are so many around a very noisy table. A good time was had by all

How many lucky members were present? It sounds as if you all had a ball!
I know absent won't leave us when she gets to NZ, once her internet is up and running. (Absent, there is free access in Richmond Library!)

Greatnan there were twelve of us - from absent's left going round the table -I'm sure someone will post photographs.

Marelli, Moomim, Baubles, Yayajen, Gally, Glass, Gillybob, Elegran, Granny23, Bags, Janeainsworth and Nanaej
