Where to next you lovely ladies. Any suggestions?

Marydoll Fri 17-Aug-18 19:36:06

Jane , what are you implying about MY germolene dress.

I think I look lovely in it. wink grin

Jane10 Fri 17-Aug-18 19:54:45

I'm sure you do Marydoll. Have you bought that new green one yet? It would really suit you.
Wonder if Katek's planning on joining us?

baubles Fri 17-Aug-18 20:14:01

Elizabeth you really ought to sound a klaxon to get our attention! grin

Please may I be added to the list, I feel as though I haven’t seen any of you in years!

I’ll have moved house and been on holiday between now and then so hopefully there’ll be no obstacles to my attending.

Elegran Fri 17-Aug-18 21:05:12

The title doesn't have Edinburgh in it , just "Lunch" so it may not reach everyone.

Jane10 Fri 17-Aug-18 21:14:16

I've PM'd Katek. She's going to look for the thread.

Elegran Fri 17-Aug-18 21:16:47

So have I !

Marydoll Fri 17-Aug-18 21:51:40

I've Pm' d Oldgoat.

Jane10 Fri 17-Aug-18 22:03:31

The fiery cross is going round for the gathering of the Grans!

Jangran99 Fri 17-Aug-18 23:36:51

Do you think gillybob would be interested again?
I'll PM her in case she has missed the thread.

Marydoll Fri 17-Aug-18 23:42:05

I've already PM'd her Jan. ?

Jangran99 Fri 17-Aug-18 23:47:07

X posts!! So have I ?

'Course I've worn it, E1! I'll still be wearing it in twenty years' time too if I make it that far. ?

Re m&s sales, I got the most comfortable pair of skinny jeans ever from an m&s sale in Glasgow the other week for £6. If I wear them with That Jacket, I bet my outfit will average out cheaper than many another. Ta Da! That's the way to do it [non-violent Punch & Judy emoji]!

Hope you can make it, baubles! Meantime, happy moving and holidaying.

Hi Everyone.

Thank you for your PM’s Marydoll and Jangran . Sorry I hadn’t noticed this thread before (missing the Edinburgh).

I am checking with work on Monday to make sure it’s definitely okay but it’s a provisional “Yes please” from me. smile

Very sad. For the first time I could have been free to come to Edinburgh and there are assorted cousins and friends there and in the Borders I want to visit BUT it’s Book Club that afternoon and and it’s at ours and it’s a “special” one for one member who has just turned 80
sad

Marydoll Sat 18-Aug-18 12:21:27

Maw, it would have been lovely to meet you in person! smile

Elegran Sat 18-Aug-18 13:27:23

Maw When will you be able to come? If you let us know we can organise the next one around you.

MawBroon Sat 18-Aug-18 13:31:33

You can’t organise something round me - but with plenty of notice I will try to do what it takes!

Katek Sat 18-Aug-18 13:59:32

Thanks for the heads up Jane- I’d lost touch with the thread.

I’m soooo disappointed but I can’t make this meetup. My nephew and his family are coming up to Aviemore from Kent that same weekend and we haven’t seen them since their wedding 5 years ago! There are now two little great nieces whom I’ve never seen so we’re having a bit of a family ‘do’ that weekend.

Hopefully I’ll manage Xmas lunch (presuming we’re having one??) as long as it’s after 10th December! I have village Xmas lights, panto and dh has a big birthday the first week, but will be in state of collapse from 10th onwards and in need of reviving!

Enjoy your lunch everyone! ?

Jane10 Sat 18-Aug-18 14:39:53

What a shame Katek but understandable. See you next time I hope!

Grammaretto Sat 18-Aug-18 19:46:32

I'm hoping to come too. Thanks to Jangran for letting me know. I haven't tried the Waverley so that'll be something different. It will be good to see you again.

Elizabeth1 Sun 19-Aug-18 06:56:50

And moving on - so very sorry I’ve not put Edinburgh on this topic. Is there any way I can still do it. Who’s the IT boffin then can you tell it’s not me. Thank you to those kind people who have messaged others to alert them to our date.

Please, may I join you on the 28th, too?

Brunette10 Sun 19-Aug-18 07:54:11

I would also like to join in time permitting. I say that as our DD is due to have baby around then. I shall keep looking for any updates . Just saw this one!

Marydoll Sun 19-Aug-18 07:55:48

Oh, great to see so many, we will have fun! grin
