I will try to get there a little early to bag the big round table for us! Any idea when the George opens Loopy?

Yes it was great to see you all. I would have stayed longer but my DH was home on annual leave. Looking forward to the next meet up.

Having once turned up at John Lewis instead of M&S for a meeting, I nearly went a week early this time. Fortunately I double checked the day before. I really do need a Minder. See you all NEXT week.

Hello , everyone. We are meeting on Thursday 15th March at 11am at the George, Wanstead, opposite Wanstead Underground station. There is parking at the George, £3.50 for 3 hours and other parking meters in the High Street. Not much free parking now the council have changed things.
Looking forward to seeing you all!

Just to say how lovely it was to have this meet-up, such interesting people. Very relaxed and enjoyable. And, just 10-15 minutes from home. Looking forward, already, to 15th March. Just to tell people there is a car park at the George, but it is £3.50 for three hours. Blue badges pay same as everyone else. However, buses pass the door and the underground is just opposite.

Can I just say that these Meet ups are great . I have met some lovely interesting people and all I had to do was say a time and a place and along they came. Well worth having a go!

Thank you everyone for coming to the Meet up. It was great to see you all and I hope you all arrived home safely.
Our next Meet up is on March 15th, Thursday. I hope it will be warmer by then.!

Pittcity We lived in Cheriton Avenue for 12 yrs from 1975 which was off Fullwell Avenue which ran up to a roundabout at the top of Barkingside High street. The area was very appropriately named Clayhall .

Niobe Thu 08-Feb-18 15:32:01

It was lovely to meet you too Pittcity!

Pittcity Thu 08-Feb-18 15:02:11

It was lovely meeting you all for coffee, lunch and a good old natter today.

Pittcity Thu 08-Feb-18 09:46:02

Nellie I am going to walk down to see the block of flats we lived in in the early 80s. 1 bedroom, cost us £27K brand new. Now selling for over £350K! Couldn't afford to live here now as our large 4 bed detached in North Essex is worth about the same.

Nelliemoser Thu 08-Feb-18 08:56:45

So how is the lovely borough of Redbridge these days? We bought our first house there up in Barkingside way for £13K in 1975.
I would probably not recognise the place these days .
we moved up to Cheshire in 1987 and are still here.
Have a good meet up.
