Hello everyone, hope you are all well I thought I would keep in touch.
I know you've been quite poorly ruby are you any better?
I'm still okay for July 21st, hope you all are too.

Good news mazza. Look forward to meeting you with or without GC.

rubylady Wed 29-Jun-16 03:16:43

How old is your GD mazza? She could come along too, it's child friendly, if other GN don't mind? flowers

Thanks so much, Nana3 or pointing out this thread, I haven't done much looking round on here, just read the email generally! I live in Garstang, north of Preston but I can drive over to Bolton for the meet up. Sounds exciting! That is two days after school breaks up which might be a bit difficult as I look after my GD (it seems endlessly!) but I will make it one way or another. Look forward to it.

Very sorry ruby, wishing you all the best for the biopsy. flowers

rubylady Mon 27-Jun-16 01:08:23

I need something to look forward to, I have to have the biopsy done again for abnormal cervical cells on the 18th. The didn't get the right cells last time. Never mind, chin up. Lovely cream cakes and wonderful company to look forward to. smile

Hi Everyone, that's such good news Babs, I'm very happy that you're joining us. Sounds like we'll be doing our bit for the Bolton economy ruby, well I know I will.
Time flies, it will be our meet up in a flash.

Great, it would be lovely to see you. We are meeting at 11 am, Bradley Fold Garden Centre, Radcliffe Moor Road, Bolton, BL2 6RE. It is a beautiful garden centre, has the normal flowers, frilly, pretty household items, garden furniture, pets corner of birds, rabbits, hamsters etc., and a wonderful restaurant.

You do sound very busy, I don't know how you are doing it all. It is a very exciting time, isn't it? But it can be tiring so remember to get some rest too. What sort of home is it, bungalow, flat, house, apartment? There will be some lovely things for you to find at the garden centre for your new home. I'm still putting things together and we've been in 20 months now. I also have a "bottom drawer" under the bed for when my son leaves and then I can pretty up the house a little, make it more girly. It is endlessly exciting. smile

Hi I haven't had been on for a while as I've been busy getting sorted! I would love to join you on 21st July and I think Bolton is quite near here too!

rubylady Thu 23-Jun-16 03:40:44

I'm looking forward to meeting you all too, it will be nice to put faces to the names. X

There's 4 of us, that's good, I wonder how babs is! and if she can make it.

Looking forward to meeting you all ?

seasider Mon 13-Jun-16 21:43:43

11is fine for me . Look forward to meeting you all

Nana3 Sun 12-Jun-16 23:18:18

Yes 11am fine by me ruby. Looking forward to it now. Hope everyone else can make it.

rubylady Sat 11-Jun-16 00:04:29

Shall we make it about 11am then and then we can get settled before food comes onto the counter? Is that ok for everyone? The people can get back if on school runs etc and still have a few hours to natter. smile

Nana3 Fri 10-Jun-16 07:52:10

The garden centre is fine by me ruby . Either lunch or cake and coffee, it would only take me half an hour or so to get to Bolton.

rubylady Wed 08-Jun-16 00:16:40

Bradley Fold Garden Centre, Radcliffe Moor Road, Bolton BL2 6RE.

The lady in the restaurant said today when I called in that the dinner food is out at 11.30am so if we want a meal to get there for then and then we will get full menu. I'm easy for a meal or a cake and coffee so what time suits other people? flowers

rubylady Wed 08-Jun-16 00:14:29

Hi, it's Bradley Fold Garden Centre, Radcliffe Moor Rd., Bolton BL2 6RE.

I went today for some compost and of course, the obligitory coffee and asked in the restaurant if they minded us being there. The lady said if we want food it come out at 11.30am and to get there on time so that we get the full choice. I'm easy with a meal or a cake and coffee, so what time suits others? flowers

Nana3 Tue 07-Jun-16 16:26:24

That sounds like a date settled, ruby where is the garden centre?

seasider Tue 07-Jun-16 00:10:44

That's fine for me

Nana3 Mon 06-Jun-16 17:01:13

Good for me too.

carol257 Sun 05-Jun-16 22:04:30

Hi

That date is good for me ?

rubylady Sun 05-Jun-16 00:29:49

Can everyone make the 21st July?

The garden centre will not be bothered if we take time chatting in the café, it's quite big and gets lots of groups of ladies in sharing their time.

Let me know please. smile

seasider Sat 04-Jun-16 19:56:28

I agree Nana let's set a date then sort out where we are going.

Nana3 Fri 03-Jun-16 08:15:36

I was talking about June there, sorry if that's too soon.
