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.

Great idea and I would love to join you ladies. However, not available on 29th August nor 18th September. Being cheeky, does it have to be several months away?

notgoneyet Thu 02-May-19 16:33:32

Hi SusiQ
Where did you get 29th August/28th September from? Are you sure you're not looking at last year, 2018? Date hasn't been decided for this Meet yet just the venue - Debenhams Oxford Street. Keep a lookout for date soon to be suggested smile

Hi everyone, If the date suits, I shall come and I'll invite Purpledaffodil too.

I'll keep a look out for the date either on here or on the new thread!

Charleygirl5 Thu 02-May-19 16:59:27

What new thread Grannyknot?? I am confused.

Grannyknot Thu 02-May-19 17:21:13

Hi Charley smile

notgoneyet suggested upstream that she may start a new thread:

May start new post as this one has got quite long now lol.

Charleygirl5 Thu 02-May-19 17:53:06

Thanks, I missed that- will return to my slumber I think.

notgoneyet Thu 02-May-19 18:40:20

But after suggesting that I saw that people kept posting on this one so I haven't used the other one since, just in case any posts were missed! Maybe we should continue using this one until this next Meet has been attended, and THEN use a new one???

Niobe Thu 02-May-19 18:43:07

Watching for date too.

Charleygirl5 Thu 02-May-19 19:37:11

Good idea notgoneyet. You do not want to upset a birdbrain like mine.

Grannyknot Thu 02-May-19 19:59:42

smile

I shall stay watching this one.

Catterygirl Fri 03-May-19 08:13:46

I haven't been on here for a day or two but will also stay watching this one. I have some PMs to send later.

I was looking at the original posts from last year. I thought the suggested dates were strange! I’m still interested and will keep an eye on posts.

Weirdly, I’m sending this from Debenhams in Oxford Street. The little cafe on the 2nd floor no longer there. Restaurant on 5th floor and cafe in basement.

Charleygirl5 Sat 04-May-19 09:47:32

SusiQ It will be the 5th floor cafe- it can accommodate any number of people, it will just be a matter of rearranging tables and chairs.

How fantastic! I would love to meet for lunch but live in Australia. Come over and we will have breakfast, lunch and dinner. You are so fortunate to have each other.

notgoneyet Sat 04-May-19 21:21:49

How do people feel about a Meet on Tuesday 21st May? I can make that date but unfortunately can't easily make any other in May - obviously that needn't stop the rest of interested GN-ers choosing a different date, but for me it would have to be June.
Thought I'd just suggest this to see what people think.

Charleygirl5 Sun 05-May-19 09:19:02

That sounds good to me. That will at least be two of us!!!

notgoneyet Sun 05-May-19 11:37:13

So that's Charleygirl and me, and possibly Bellanonna - are a few more of you going to join us?

Charleygirl5 Sun 05-May-19 12:52:44

What about 10.30am?

Grannyknot Sun 05-May-19 14:12:14

Hi everyone, so far I can make it smile 10:30 a.m. is fine for me.

Thanks to the organisers!

Charleygirl5 Sun 05-May-19 14:19:11

Grannyknot I was determined we were not going to have a repeat of the previous fiasco so it is written in words of one syllable for everybody to understand! If anything is unclear Ima happy to be PMed.

Catterygirl Sun 05-May-19 17:09:36

I can't make that date but have fun and hopefully see you next time.

notgoneyet Sun 05-May-19 17:28:01

That's a shame Catterygirl. See you another time.

Grannyknot Mon 06-May-19 18:08:11

Charleygirl - thanks! That was a near fiasco. Luckily Catterygirl found me and then we miraculously found a few more Gransnetters!

SusiQ Tue 07-May-19 13:08:53

At the minute I can do 21st May.

notgoneyet Tue 07-May-19 14:01:34

Look forward to meeting you SusiQ
