Is anyone interested in meeting for lunch in Market Harborough on Tuesday 27th October?

That is a fabulous shop- we never ever fail to visit it - and it is 3 doors down from Zizzi's- hurrah. Make sure you don't have a big handbag, as it is so full you can hardly move! As the owners are coming up for retirement, I suppose it will go with them as it were. Such a shame. There is another a bit like that in Uppingham- love it.

I love hardware shops and make a point of rooting out interesting ones wherever I go; hope even more I can make it now!

granjura Thu 24-Sept-15 21:31:16

Well I am mortally offended now- that you would make the effort for the hardware store and not for me (goes off with a huff emoticon - lol =

Tegan Thu 24-Sept-15 22:16:44

We can organise things properly nearer the time but 11.30 is probably a bit early for me!

So, who is (probably) coming?
Teetime
Tegan
Granjura
J52
grrranny - possibly
Me
Have I missed anyone?

Teetime Fri 25-Sept-15 09:07:40

I have it in the diary - have we decided on Zizzis then - shall we book it does get very busy? what time?

granjura Fri 25-Sept-15 09:37:19

Good idea- book for 12ish perhap?

Tegan Fri 25-Sept-15 10:51:59

Yes; that will give me more time in the hardware shop smile..[you may have to drag me out though]

granjura Mon 28-Sept-15 19:00:32

Any more? Won't be long now.

Teetime Tue 29-Sept-15 09:18:29

I have booked a table at Zizzis Market Harbourgh for 6 on 29th October 2015 at 12 midday the booking reference is ARCIMXF5. Is that Ok for all?

kittylester Tue 29-Sept-15 09:26:57

Thank you Teetime, fine by me. Looking forward to it!

J52 Tue 29-Sept-15 10:11:50

Thanks Teetime, looking forward to it.

Oh dear, I am so sorry, but I can't make the 29th- going to Surrey early that day. Didn't we agree on Tuesday 27th before? What a shame- or is that a typo? x

J52 Tue 29-Sept-15 10:25:24

I assumed we are still meaning the 27th.

Teetime Tue 29-Sept-15 10:39:19

oops 27th! smile

granjura Tue 29-Sept-15 11:35:51

Great - and thanks x

granjura Sat 10-Oct-15 12:29:16

Anymore?

Now I am going to try and keep off GN and will be travelling and very busy- but I shall be there, Zizzi's 11.45 for 12.00 in Market Harborough. Looking forward to it.

grrrranny Mon 12-Oct-15 10:20:59

Just typical - I have to work. I tried to go to a Birmingham meet up a couple of years ago - had bought train tickets and everything and then had to work. I hope you all have a lovely lunch and don't forget my vest warning. envy

granjura Mon 12-Oct-15 18:46:38

What a pity- another time I hope.

Are there regular buses from Leicester to MH? I've realised I've got to change trains at Leicester and it might just be easier to go by bus.

granjura Mon 26-Oct-15 09:50:19

Have you sorted the bus yet Tegan? I think it is the X3 route, but quite long as it goes to all the villages on the way.

If anyone goes past the station in Leics or does not live too far away- could they possibly pick her up and avoid the hassle of a long bus route? That would be champion x

Tegan Mon 26-Oct-15 11:33:35

I'm starting out quite early so it shouldn't be a problem and it might be nice to see the villages...I had a lovely journey back from Leicester on a bus that did the same. It's so annoying that there isn't a through train to MH so I have to travel into Derby to then go back on myself....not a bother if it's then straight through, whereas the bus stops a few yards from my house. Just start the meal without me if I'm late....I will be there! [it's quite an adventure]

kittylester Mon 26-Oct-15 17:31:58

See you there Tegan, granjura, Teetime, J52. Have I missed anyone or can anyone else join us? You'd be very welcome!

kittylester Tue 27-Oct-15 07:39:06

Bump!

J52 Tue 27-Oct-15 07:47:52

I'm just getting ready. Must leave the house super tidy, there's a viewing while I'm out!

See you all soon.
