I think it is about time we got together again.
Would anyone like to suggest a date in April or at least say what days of the week they can or cannot make. After Easter would be good.

Deedaa Tue 28-Feb-17 21:20:43

It's been ages hasn't it? As usual the best day for me is Thursday but if it's still in the Easter holidays I could probably do any day.

Greenfinch Wed 01-Mar-17 20:16:30

If the holidays are better for you Deedaa we could perhaps meet up the week before Easter.

Deedaa Wed 01-Mar-17 22:04:25

That sounds good, I haven't had a look at the dates yet.

Greenfinch Fri 10-Mar-17 06:58:18

Bump

Deedaa Sat 11-Mar-17 19:51:41

The week before Easter would be fine for me because Son in Law will be home to look after the children smile

Greenfinch Sun 12-Mar-17 19:51:15

Which day would be best for you ? I will pm Noodles and see if she is able to come.

Carol1ne63 Sun 12-Mar-17 20:47:34

Where do you meet? Are you down South?

Greenfinch Sun 12-Mar-17 21:05:03

Yes we are in the South. We meet in Reading either in John Lewis or Patisserie Valerie

Deedaa Sun 12-Mar-17 22:08:40

So far I don't have a preference. DH isn't awfully well at the moment but I'll see what the doctor says tomorrow and let you know if it affects anything.

Penstemmon Sun 12-Mar-17 22:33:04

I will keep my eye on this & the date. If I can join you I will, if that's OK!

Greenfinch Mon 13-Mar-17 07:56:11

Of course!It would be lovely to see you againPenstemmon It looks as if it will be quite a small group though we are still hoping more will join us.

Auntieflo Tue 14-Mar-17 09:07:08

Morning all, I may be able to join you. Has a date been decided, and also where?
I thought I posted a message to this effect yesterday, but it has disappeared into the ether

Greenfinch Tue 14-Mar-17 15:30:44

May I suggest either Monday 10th April or Thursday 13th April at 10.30am in Patisserie Valerie unless anyone has any other thoughts.
Hope your DH is OK Deedaa.

Deedaa Tue 14-Mar-17 17:57:58

Either suits me at the moment. Waiting for blood test results for DH. GP came yesterday and admitted he was a bit worried so hopefully he'll get things moving if necessary.

Auntieflo Wed 15-Mar-17 09:07:25

Either date suits me as well, at the moment.

Greenfinch Thu 16-Mar-17 11:05:32

I will pm Penstemmon to see f she can make either of the dates. Does anyone have a preference for time or venue

Auntieflo Thu 16-Mar-17 11:32:49

Preference for me is a Thursday and Pat Val. But am easy .

Greenfinch Thu 16-Mar-17 19:19:18

Penstemmon cannot make the Thursday so will the Monday be OK with you Auntieflo?

Deedaa Thu 16-Mar-17 21:30:55

I can do the Monday. Pat Val is fine as long as they still do the strawberry gateau grin

Greenfinch Fri 17-Mar-17 10:39:13

It looks like it will be Monday 10th April at Pat Val.Shall we say 10.30 to 11 ?I will try to reserve the table we had before.It looks like it will be

Deedaaa
Auntieflo
Penstemmon
Greenfinch
Noodles?

It goes without saying that anyone else is very welcome to join us.

Greenfinch Fri 17-Mar-17 10:41:09

I must have that next time*Deedaa*???

Auntieflo Fri 17-Mar-17 11:02:06

Morning Greenfinch, thanks, I have put the date in my calendar, and look forward to it.

Greenfinch Fri 17-Mar-17 11:16:00

Glad you can make it Auntieflo.

Hello All - been off line for a while as DH was very poorly after Christmas and died three weeks ago today, which would have been his 69th birthday. Blasted cancer!

Anyway - would love to meet up 10th April at PatVal again - it's in my diary now.
