Ooooh, yes, Happy Christmas to everyone. I like Elite Lunchers. tchgrin We are!

Purpledaffodil Mon 12-Dec-16 09:14:00

Sounds like you had a lovely lunch (Elite Lunchers?) Very much hope to make the next one Alche. Seasons greetings to you all, tchgrin

And thanks to you too alchiemillamollis both for organising it all and for being such good company. I love these meet ups.We talk about ordinary everyday things and much deeper personal issues with people we know will be sympathetic and non judgemental and are far away enough from our family and friends not to be known by them.Lovely !

I am definitely up for another meet up in the New Year.

Grannyknot Sun 11-Dec-16 06:58:30

Yes, please!

(And I'm so sorry I haven't got around to the promised coffee, life got in the way).smile

Will catch up with you soon.

alchemillamollis Sun 11-Dec-16 01:56:30

You can also feel virtuous for helping me have such an enjoyable lunch, Greenfinch! And you, Penstemmon! That's the kind of lunch I'd like to have more of - nice and relaxed, lovely chat - it's the business! Does me a world of good, honestly.

Shall I start a thread in the New Year for another one? Hopefully all the people who couldn't make the December one might make one in January or February. I'd be happy to make the booking again, for wherever we decide to meet.

Thank you so much, Greenfinch and Penstemmon. flowers

Yes the massage was good! First one for many years! Sorry your journey home was arduous. tchsad

Greenfinch Fri 09-Dec-16 17:28:26

Good to see you too Penstemon. Hope the massage went well. I felt virtuous doing the bit of knitting in Gertie's!Had a good if rather long journey home.

Penstemmon Fri 09-Dec-16 16:02:00

Good to see you alchemilla and greenfinch Hope you both got home OK. See you in 2017!

MiniMouse Wed 07-Dec-16 09:52:32

Hope you all have a lovely time today!

Thank you Purple tbsmile

Purpledaffodil Wed 07-Dec-16 08:55:46

So sorry everybody, last minute child care duties with no hope of finding a deputy. Sad to miss you all and Dorking Christmas shopping. Have a lovely time without me [sobbing emoticon] Hope the back improves MiniMouse

alchemillamollis Wed 07-Dec-16 00:04:06

Small, but perfectly formed. grin If anyone finds they can come at the last minute, do just show up.

Greenfinch Tue 06-Dec-16 22:39:39

Oh we will be a small group then.

alchemillamollis Tue 06-Dec-16 22:21:01

I hope she won't mind me saying - she has PM'd to say she can't make it.

Greenfinch Tue 06-Dec-16 17:02:31

What about purple daffodil?

alchemillamollis Tue 06-Dec-16 15:26:52

We're definitely expecting the following tomorrow:

alchemillamollis
cazzajen
Greenfinch
Penstemmon

And hopefully Goldenspring. I think that's right? Any more? Small but select!

alchemillamollis Tue 06-Dec-16 09:49:14

Don't worry, Goldenspring - please do come if you can, but otherwise you can come to the next one.

Likewise if any Gransnetters find they can come along at the last minute, please do just come. All welcome.

Goldenspring Mon 05-Dec-16 13:08:36

I'm so sorry, but I'm not sure I will get there on Wed. I have been ill for a few weeks with a virus, but was certain I would be OK by this week. It's touch and go. I'll try my best to be there, but if not I shall keep an eye on the forum to see if another meeting is organised.

Grannyknot Sun 04-Dec-16 21:41:53

I'm sorry to be missing the get together. minimouse that sounds like DIY chiropractic treatment!

MiniMouse Sun 04-Dec-16 21:38:00

Oddly enough, it was a huge relief!

Greenfinch Sun 04-Dec-16 20:32:44

That must have been really painful.

MiniMouse Sun 04-Dec-16 19:52:08

Thank you alchem & greenf I sat with a firm sausage cushion behind my back yesterday and I felt (and heard tbshock) a few clonks as various parts of my spine went back into place!! Just waiting for the rest now tbgrin
