Hello rubylady what a great name. New to this and hoping to chat with as many members as possible and have a north west pre xmas get together. Let me know your thoughts. So sorry you have had a rough time lately the future will get better I hope

thanks for replying Nana3 really slow on this site must be me as I just got your message. Doesnt have to be the Trafford Centre I just thought it would be a central place for Cheshire and North west. Open to all suggestions! Would be good to meet other gransnetters and if there are any alone like myself a good chance to have a laugh

Do the trafford centre hire out any disability scooters withing the centre? Or do you meet near the centre? I would love to come but I can't walk round the centre. Only did the Dreams shop today with the doggie in her pram and I was shattered doing that. sad

Hello marylane, sorry I didn't see your message. I think a few of us might be interested in going to the Trafford Centre.

Hi just getting going with gransnet so bear with me. Is there a chance of a meet up in the Trafford Centre near Xmas. Posted a message few weeks ago so plucked up courage to try again even though no one replied. Widowed and trying to get on with a new life,not easy but what else is there

rubylady Sun 09-Oct-16 22:03:44

I did manage to get out earlier Nana on my mini mean machine, my mobility scooter, but it was about 6pm and my fingers felt nippy going out but coming back were cramping up something awful, very painful and I barely got back. hmm That's what I get for feeling guilty at not getting the little pooch out, although she had a great run in the park at the side of my scooter, she loved it. grin

I hope you are well and that we can arrange something soon. Car going in the morning, so I'll see what they say. flowers

ruby very sorry about you not getting out, it's been so nice weather wise too. I Hope the car gets fixed soon. Seems like Monday is cancelled now, we'll reschedule soon hopefully.

rubylady Sat 08-Oct-16 20:15:42

I'll be ok once the mean machine is back up and running, so another day would be better for me. I'm sorry for the inconvenience but it wasn't my fault, it was a woman driving to work. It's also meant that I've not been able to get out anywhere this weekend too. sad

Nana3 Fri 07-Oct-16 20:59:14

I've sent you a pm mazza. I think we should cancel.

mazza245 Fri 07-Oct-16 14:00:31

Oh that's a shame! I'm having difficulty as well, I am debating whether I can get there on Monday after all. What does anyone else think, change to another day or leave as it is?

rubylady Fri 07-Oct-16 13:55:41

I'm sorry ladies but I won't be able to make it. My car has got clipped while parked and will be being picked up from the dealers on Monday for repair. I can't even put it off as it's undriveable. If they do come early enough, then I might still get there but just in case I am not there, you know the reason. X

mazza245 Fri 07-Oct-16 11:52:08

Nana3. I've sent you a message!

rubylady Wed 05-Oct-16 00:55:07

If it's next Monday, I'd better get some rest. . . off to bed zzzzzzz

Nana3 Mon 03-Oct-16 10:27:25

I'll be there and I'm looking forward to it.

mazza245 Mon 03-Oct-16 10:14:44

Yes, I'm up for the meeting next Monday as I said above. Looking forward to it. How many of us will manage it?

rubylady Sun 02-Oct-16 17:43:14

It's Dolce Cafe, inside Global Interiors on the A666, Blackburn Road, Astley Bridge, Bolton. X

carol257 Sun 02-Oct-16 14:41:16

Sorry not been on for a while, so seem to have lost the thread on where the lunch is ?

rubylady Fri 30-Sept-16 01:49:31

Can you make the October meet mazza? At the Italian Bar and Grill? It's not as far over as the garden centre. smile

mazza245 Tue 27-Sept-16 18:30:24

Yes that's ok by me. I hope it's a bit more on this side of Bolton this time rather than the far side from me.

I could probably get to a meetup at the Trafford Centre in December, just booked 8 days away from 2 - 10 Dec.

seasider Sun 25-Sept-16 11:01:25

Hi Libra lady we usually have a meet up at the Trafford Centre in the run up Christmas and there may be some more local ladies there ?

Nana3 Wed 21-Sept-16 15:21:59

Yes rubylady The Italian Bar and Grill as you suggested, Monday, October 10th, 11am.
Just waiting and hoping to hear that more people can come.

rubylady Mon 19-Sept-16 02:35:54

Hi Nana yes, that should be fine for me, thank you. Is that the one I suggested? How about 11am? Is that an ok time for everyone?

My son leaves on Friday, I am excited really, new changes for us both. I hope that you are well and I am looking forward to catching up. X

Nana3 Sun 18-Sept-16 19:23:52

Are we still considering the Dolce Italian bar and grill as suggested by rubylady?
Monday 10th is a good date for me as mazza can't do Friday and ruby can't do Thursday.
I've looked on line and it's open from 9:30am - 5:30pm.
What does everyone think?

mazza245 Wed 14-Sept-16 16:50:41

I thought we were deciding between 14, 21 or 28 October for the next meetup? They are alright for me although I would prefer a Monday, Wednesday or Thursday if it was up to me.

I came back from holiday to find a parking fine for me too but I've got it cancelled so that's ok. Sorry I havent been on here much for the last month but I'm back now!!

Libralady Mon 05-Sept-16 16:00:33

Is there anyone in Trafford area on here ?
