Does anyone in the south east want to meet up in blue water and incorporate a shopping trip at the same time? It's pretty central to anywhere in the Area and many people do travel from miles Around because there are so many good shops, inc JLewis.

I'm not really that local to you iluvcruz , I'm in Essex.

I live in dartford so not far. I am not sure where the others who have responded and are coming to bluewater live, however if you want to join us you are more than welcome. 16 th march 11.30 in waterstones coffee shop at bluewater.
As most people who responded to the Kent group seemed to live at or towards the coast would be pleased to meet you.

Hello everybody. 11:30 on 16th sounds perfect. Considering the location, how about we all carry a small paperback book? Looking forward to meeting everybody.

Hi IIuvcruz. I'm new to this but I'll try to find you! Lol.

NanaandGrampy Wed 15-Feb-17 09:28:47

I love that idea, a small book it is - looking forward to seeing you .

I too live in Essex and would like to meet up with you if I can that day. I'm very lonely where I live so would be nice to have some good company for a change. Must remember a small book to tuck under my arm !!

I hope its a slow day in Costa :-)

Mind you the beauty of Bluewater is we could move from coffee shop to coffee shop smile

Another gnetter contacted me on pm and she will be coming too, so think we will be 7-8 if we all turn up.
Look forward to meeting you sar53. You are most welcome.

Only just seen this, can't make tomorrow but could you keep me posted if there is another meeting at Bluewater as not far to travel to travel for me.

Iluvcruz Thu 16-Mar-17 11:44:43

Really sorry - had hoped to meet you but something last minute came up. Hope it goes well and I can join you next time.

NanaandGrampy Thu 16-Mar-17 15:03:46

Just a quick hello to all the ladies I met today , I'm sorry I had to leave but Grampy was already in trouble for buying a £165 pair of specs !!

It was lovely to meet you all and I'd love to do it again , pretty much any day but a Friday works for me, so just post a thread. ( I wont let Grampy come next time !!)

Selborne Thu 16-Mar-17 16:46:00

Hello everybody. It was great to meet you all today.

NanaandGrampy, I think we agreed to meet again at the same time and venue on Thursday 4th May. I hope everybody can make it!
(I hope that Granpy looks good in his new glasses!)

silverlining48 Thu 16-Mar-17 16:54:22

Hello ladies, it was lovely to meet you all today. Waterstones cafe worked well, with enough room for all 8 of us to sit together (once we had rearranged some of the tables)!
We decided we would like to meet up again, so next date is, thursday 4th May, ll.30 same place. Whether or not you made it today, all are welcome.

NanaandGrampy Thu 16-Mar-17 17:58:27

It's in the diary !

sweetpea Thu 16-Mar-17 18:27:56

Lovely to meet you all at lunchtime. I was wondering about the glasses and suddenly there was your message nana! Mind you glasses are a price so £150 odd probably seemed reasonable at the time to grampy. See you all in May. Happy Easter. P.S have checked my eggs and they are all stamped with a zero! ?

MawBroon Thu 16-Mar-17 18:44:32

£165??
N&G you got off lightly.
My last pair were £600 shock
Can Grampy please buy my next pair? ??

kitlong Thu 16-Mar-17 18:55:52

Hello Ladies, very enjoyable meet up and chat, thank you all!
Looking forward to next time. Sweetpea I checked my eggs too but I only managed a 1 !!!

Sar53 Thu 16-Mar-17 18:56:02

It was lovely to meet you all today. So nice to chat about this and that. The journey home took a lot longer, trying to get back onto the M25 from Dartford was horrendous!!
I'm looking forward to meeting again on the 4th May.
Kitlong, I do hope that all is well with the twins and your son and partner.

NanaandGrampy Thu 16-Mar-17 19:09:11

We got our glasses last time from Asda at a very reasonable price of 2 pairs all in for £100 so I had great hopes for Boots Maw smile

I feel your pain Sar53 smile we sat for a good while too !

Do keep us updated Kitlong about the twins .

silverlining48 Thu 20-Apr-17 16:51:11
