I live in Bromley area but an easy 20 minute (free) commute into London. My husband and 1 took early retirement to share childcare of my 7 grand children and in spare time like to use our free Oyster card to explore London. However it quickly became apparent that our expectations wildly differ. His ideal day would be a couple of pints and a Pret whilst I like lively, trendy places for a cocktail and sit down lunch/dinner. So I’m looking for like-minded ladies who might fancy meeting up in Town once in a while.

Ok , Grannyknot. It's in the diary. Would like to lose a stone by then!

notgoneyet Sat 01-Sept-18 13:14:24

Good luck with that Loopyloo - me too, but I'm not holding my breath. Oh for a little willpower sad

Grannyknot Sat 01-Sept-18 15:56:48

Okay. Will confirm my attendance for definite soon, in the meanwhile it is pencilled in smile.

Niobe Sat 01-Sept-18 18:09:26

Count me in for that as well loopyloo. Still not been to HN in London so will look forward to it.

Pittcity Sat 01-Sept-18 19:20:22

I can make Tuesday 18th. Count me in too.

I am hoping I will be able to make it too. It's a half hour bus ride for me. Haven't been in Harvey Nicks for ages.

loopyloo Wed 12-Sept-18 18:05:49

Very sorry but I can't make Tuesday 18th. Have a great time and will see you at the the next one.

Flossieturner, Niobe and I are meeting on the 5th floor of Harvey Nichols, outside the cafe, on Tuesday 18th September at 11am.
Please join us.

Catterygirl Thu 13-Sept-18 16:55:50

I won't be able to make it after all, but look forward to another meet up.

Flossieturner Thu 13-Sept-18 22:26:50

I am looking forward to meeting you all. It is many, many years since went there. I was outraged that they were charging £7 for a t-shirt, so that shows how long ago it was.

Niobe Fri 14-Sept-18 09:38:49

As Pittcity said I will be there on Tuesday. Have not been to HN in London yet but had some lovely lunches in the Edinburgh HN when I lived in Glasgow.

Pittcity Sat 15-Sept-18 08:31:59

Looks like there will be 5 of us meeting at Holly Nichols (they've rebranded for September.....don't get confused) on Tuesday.
All are welcome to join us.

Charleygirl Sat 15-Sept-18 10:57:57

I was hoping to join you but my apologies- maybe the next time.

notgoneyet Sun 16-Sept-18 14:34:06

Not been a member of GN very long, and am really looking forward to meeting a few others at HN (or PN!!) on Tuesday.

Pittcity Mon 17-Sept-18 10:06:36

Just bumping this thread up in case any one else would like to join us in London tomorrow.

Pittcity Tue 18-Sept-18 08:14:18

Just getting ready for the trip into London. Looking forward to seeing you all.

loopyloo Tue 18-Sept-18 08:35:55

Have a great time!

notgoneyet Tue 18-Sept-18 08:54:42

You too Pittcity. Will be funny, meeting all these ladies and not a known name amongst them, all nicknames lol

Pittcity Tue 18-Sept-18 09:17:53

Thank you Loopyloo.

Pittcity Tue 18-Sept-18 13:25:34

A lovely brunch at Harvey/Holly Nichols with great chatty company. Nice to meet Grannyknot and Notgoneyet
We agreed that the cafe was on a par with most department stores but at twice the price......

loopyloo Tue 18-Sept-18 13:31:44

So where are you meeting next time? Harrods?

loopyloo Tue 18-Sept-18 13:33:00

Or is it back to a Weatherspoons?

Grannyknot Tue 18-Sept-18 13:38:30

Lovely to meet everyone. I'm certainly up for a next time ? - happy to go wherever.

Pittcity Tue 18-Sept-18 14:40:40

We did discuss Selfridges.

notgoneyet Tue 18-Sept-18 15:33:28

Lovely to meet you all in Harvey Nicks ladies, and do hope we'll all be able to meet up again, possibly as suggested, in Selfridges, maybe towards the end of October.
