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.

Hello everyone
Well, a few of us have just got home from a Meet at Debenhams in Oxford Street. Great venue - very large, plenty of tables, drinks/food reasonable price and quite central; nearly opposite Bond Street tube station.
As mentioned earlier, probably a good idea to close this thread now with this message as it's got so long. I've just started a new thread called Central London. And I expect you all know that if you click on the orange Watch This Thread button at the top of the page, you'll get an e-mail every time someone posts on it.
Bye for now, see you on the next thread lol wink

Sorry to hear that, thanks for letting us know.

Very disappointed, but received a hospital app in post today for 21st May at 11.30am. So can’t make the lunch this time. Will keep an eye out for next one.

Definitely, Charleygirl. smile

Charleygirl5 Tue 07-May-19 21:13:16

Sorry to hear that, maybe next time?

Grannyknot Tue 07-May-19 20:13:36

Hi everyone, I'm so sorry, I can't make it now, my daughter needs me to pick her up from the hospital that morning. Really sorry!

Have a lovely meet-up.

Charleygirl5 Tue 07-May-19 14:03:08

That is good, to date we now have 5.

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

Look forward to meeting you SusiQ

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

At the minute I can do 21st May.

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!

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

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

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

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

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.

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 12:52:44

What about 10.30am?

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 09:19:02

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

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.

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.

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.

SusiQ Fri 03-May-19 14:27:00

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.

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.

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

smile

I shall stay watching this one.

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

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

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

Watching for date too.
