Where to next you lovely ladies. Any suggestions?

You people have this meetup lark down to a fine art.
I always enjoy reading your plans taking shape.

Jangran99 Fri 28-Sept-18 22:33:00

Thank you Elizabeth 1, a great meet and venue.Sorry this thanks is so late but I fell asleep as soon as I arrived home, making up for yesterday,and now I can't sleep so I am playing on GN unpacking!Thanks to everyone for great company???

Baggs Fri 28-Sept-18 21:19:07

Lovely to meet you, brunette, as well as 'old' (cough!) faces. And thank you, eliz1 for organising. I met up with Minibaggs afterwards too. She seems to be settling in at uni ?

Brunette10 Fri 28-Sept-18 21:13:06

Thank you so much again Elizabeth 1 for organising today. I was made to feel very welcome although I didn’t have the chance to speak to everyone there and apologise for this but time flies by when you are having a nice time. Nice to put a name to a face. Thanks again. Brunette

Elegran Fri 28-Sept-18 20:56:00

Another great lunch! Well done, Eliz1

GeminiJen Fri 28-Sept-18 20:25:06

Elizabeth1....Thanks from me too.
Really good to see faces old and new.....
That sounds horribly ageist...but I hope you know what I mean grin

Marydoll Fri 28-Sept-18 19:49:01

Thanks Elizabeth for organising and everyone for the good company. I'm still on the train home via a circuitous route!?

baubles Fri 28-Sept-18 19:39:29

Thanks again Elizabeth1, for organising a smashing lunch. It was lovely to meet up with old friends and new.

Jane10 Fri 28-Sept-18 18:32:32

Another great Gransnet lunch. Good company, good food and a general good time had by all.
Missed you Katek! Next time maybe?

GeminiJen Fri 28-Sept-18 11:13:15

Elizabeth1...Just to confirm.....
I've always been a definite, not a pending...
...unless of course this Jem person is someone else? grin

Brunette10 Fri 28-Sept-18 07:39:11

Thank you Elizabeth1. So kind of you to get this organised. I'm sure everyone appreciates it. See you soon. Brunette

Marelli Thu 27-Sept-18 22:35:01

Brunette10, please don't be anxious! It's always a lovely meetup with so much blethering and it's so good to put faces to names. See you tomorrow.
Gillybob, I was so looking forward to seeing you tomorrow ?. Hopefully, you'll make the next Edinburgh one. x

Marydoll Thu 27-Sept-18 21:56:09

That's disappointing, Gilly. ?

baubles Thu 27-Sept-18 21:04:41

Ah Gilly I’m sorry flowers

Jane10 Thu 27-Sept-18 16:29:52

Don't be anxious Brunette us 10s can stick together!

Brunette10 Thu 27-Sept-18 15:31:32

Also looking forward to tomorrow with a little bit if anxiety but I know I shall be in good hands. Shame Gillybob you can’t manage but I’m sure you will be kept up to date and hopefully meet next time. Brunette

gillybob Thu 27-Sept-18 14:31:54

Well, I have been holding off as long as possible in the hope of some minor miracle or other but none have materialised, so for reasons completely out of my control, I will sadly not be coming along tomorrow after all. To say I am gutted is an understatement as I was so looking forward to getting away from this damned awful place, in mind and body.

If I owe any money for deposits or anything at all elizabeth1 can you drop me a PM and I will sort it out .

It just remains for me to say, I hope you have the best time, I will be thinking about you all. Much love xx

Elegran Thu 27-Sept-18 12:21:56

So, Grandeloquent, Cascats, Geminigen I think a new thread is needed re 8th Nov and/or 30th Oct so as not to confuse this one. I'll start it up tomorrow after the nosh-up.

Katek Thu 27-Sept-18 10:24:04

So sorry I won’t be there tomorrow....still, I shall have some breathtaking Highland scenery to compensate! Hope you all have a wonderful time - looking forward to the mini meet in St Andrews. ?

Jane10 Thu 27-Sept-18 10:11:09

Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow. Thanks Elizabeth1 for setting it all in motion.

cascats Wed 26-Sept-18 23:24:51

Firstly ladies hope you have a lovely lunch and I am sorry not able to join you. If its good maybe a wee look at the Christmas menu grin.

Second Grandelinquent, Elegran and GeminiJen am also free on October the 30th and would enjoy joining you if you did not mind. Case of have bus pass will travel!

GeminiJen Wed 26-Sept-18 21:29:41

Grandelinquent and Elegran....I'm also free on Thursday November 8.
Not so sure about October 30. Currently OK but I may be needed to help daughter move house. We're still waiting for a definite date hmm
How about the Scottish Café at the National Gallery?
