Where to next you lovely ladies. Any suggestions?

Marydoll Sun 19-Aug-18 07:58:54

We could ask GHIQ if we can alter the name of the thread or I could post a new thread, directing everyone to the "Lunch" thread and put in the link..
I'm sure there are a few other posters in the Edinburgh area. I'm happy to do it Elizabeth smile

GN have just clearly altered the title of another thread, so it seems it is possible.

Baggs Sun 19-Aug-18 09:24:43

Ah. I thought it was a post that had been altered elsewhere.

Yes, HQ can edit thread titles. I know this because once ai spelt a person's name wrong in a thread title. I asked HQ to correct it and they did.

Thank you Marydoll do what you think will get this post on the right track. Much appreciated

I’ve added another name to the list please let me know if I miss anyone out. shock

Eleven certainties and a few more possibles have found the thread, Elizabeth1 so it can't be too invisible.

Marydoll Sun 19-Aug-18 12:06:24

I have contacted GN HQ to ask if Edinburgh can be added to the title.

muffinthemoo Sun 19-Aug-18 12:31:54

I’m going to come and sit in sunglasses and a big hat and watch jealously from afar grin wink

Marydoll Sun 19-Aug-18 12:39:00

muffinthemoo, as it's Edinburgh, you would be better bringing an umbrella and a fur coat. grin

Marydoll Sun 19-Aug-18 12:41:44

Elizabeth, please check your emails. smile

muffinthemoo Sun 19-Aug-18 12:42:27

No lie Marydoll. I was never so cold as when I lived through my first winter in Edinburgh. That bloody wind! I couldn’t even get a poke of chips to heat me up without someone tryimg to put ‘sauce’ on it

Marydoll Sun 19-Aug-18 12:46:58

That would be brown sauce then, in Glasgow it's tomato!
(Strange tastes , those Edinburgh natives have, No offence ladies.grin )

Marydoll Sun 19-Aug-18 13:54:36

muffinthemoo, I was going to suggest you join us, but after reading another thread, I have just realised that you have been in hospital. Good luck with your pregnancy.

Hi all

We've edited the title now. If there's anything else we can do, just give us a shout. flowers

Marydoll Sun 19-Aug-18 14:06:54

Thanks Lorna. smile

Elizabeth1 Sun 19-Aug-18 14:11:10

GeminiJen and others sorry I can’t seem to cut and paste since the change over to Edinburgh help ma Boab.

Elizabeth1 Sun 19-Aug-18 14:13:06

Thank you ladies for changing over to Edinburgh. Think I’m going to have to take over the restaurant once the full contingency have confirmed nearer to the date.

Elizabeth1 Sun 19-Aug-18 14:20:34

And oldgoat is coming too hurrah smile

Elizabeth1 Sun 19-Aug-18 17:30:13

Hurrah success thanks to all who helped me with IT I’m pretty naff at times with it. I can now cut and paste saving lots of time. Here are the latest names and numbers who wish to have lunch on Friday 28th September. I look forward to seeing everyone and more perhaps.

The Old Waverley Cranston’s restaurant is now booked for Friday 28th September at 1.45. I’ll update numbers as and when however hopefully I’ll have all confirmed by the 21st. Please pretty please. Sorry they couldn’t take us earlier.

Jane10 Mon 20-Aug-18 06:48:01

There's a very nice bar/lounge area at the Old Waverley. Of course it might be quite busy if they have something big on in the dining room. I'm willing to risk turning up a bit earlier.
Otherwise, lots of time for shopping. I remember shopping... ( it's been a while!)

Marydoll Mon 20-Aug-18 06:52:42

Glad to see your are now more mobile, Jane. I hope to see you skipping along Princes Street.?‍♀️

Grandelinquent Wed 29-Aug-18 15:16:54

I don't live full time in Edinburgh as I'm needed quite a lot for GPD's elsewhere, but would love to join as and when if that's ok?

Elegran Wed 29-Aug-18 15:28:19

Keep watching the forums for planned meetups, Grandelinquent or even post a new thread yourself with dates when you know you will be in Edinburgh, and ask if anyone else would like to meet up. Include Edinburgh in the title, then it will get noticed.

Grandelinquent Wed 29-Aug-18 16:58:20

Thanks. I will be in Edinburgh on 30th October, and again on 8th November. cupcake

Elizabeth1 Fri 31-Aug-18 05:42:47

Grandelinquent you’re more than welcome to come along on September 28th. Lunch has been booked for 1.45 however some may wish to meet in the bar for a chat prior to that. I look forward to hearing from you.
