Where to next you lovely ladies. Any suggestions?

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!

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.

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

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

MawBroon Sat 18-Aug-18 11:13:14

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

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

'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.

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

X posts!! So have I ?

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

I've already PM'd her Jan. ?

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.

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

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

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

I've Pm' d Oldgoat.

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

So have I !

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 21:05:12

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

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.

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?

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

Elizabeth1 Fri 17-Aug-18 19:18:28

Baggs you naughty thing. Are you saying you haven’t worn that sale bought jacket the one where you saved a massive amount of money and still paid a massive amount of money tch tch wink

Jane10 Fri 17-Aug-18 16:58:13

Why don't we all wear our worst M&S buy to the lunch? Did anyone buy the Germoline dress?

Elegran Fri 17-Aug-18 16:55:23

Don't mention M&S sale to me. I bought a top a couple of months ago for £25, didn't like it but left it so long to take it back that I lost the receipt. Slogged out to M&S at the Gyle yesterday to return it. They said that without the receipt I could have £2.45 for it, as it was now in their sale at that price.

Marydoll Fri 17-Aug-18 16:45:28

Elizabeth, there were no sales on in Edinburgh yesterday.☹️ . I was devastated.
M&S had a rail of stuff nobody obviously wants to buy and Phase Eight had nothing.?

Jane10 Fri 17-Aug-18 16:26:35

4 *s missing from previous post. angry

Jane10 Fri 17-Aug-18 16:25:46

I don't know about sales but at least that *** festival should be over and we might actually be able to walk down the street!! Fed up with tourists? Moi? You bet!! (Sore point alert!)

Baggs Fri 17-Aug-18 15:43:48

E1, re sales, I don't know! grin Maybe I should wear That Jacket though.
