Is there anyone who lives in the Southend area who would like to meet for coffee and a chat ? There are two of us so far and we would love to meet some more of you.
We were thinking of the week starting 5th November as that is after half term and granny duties.
Please let us know if you are interested and dates that would suit you. Looking forward to hearing from you.

I will try again. Surely there are other ladies in the Southend area besides Ebayqueen and myself who would like to meet for coffee. Please get in touch and let's arrange a meeting.

GrannyGravy13 Thu 25-Oct-18 17:42:54

I can do 12/13/14 the following week (builders at home so I am a bit tied dates wise atm)

Would love to meet up.

Where were you thinking of? Maybe the arches?

Three of us, myself, Grannygravy13 and Ebayqueen have arranged to meet in Rayleigh on the 15th November. Venue yet to be decided. If anyone else would like to join us you would be most welcome.

Looking forward to meeting you ☕️?

lillang Fri 09-Nov-18 16:14:45

Really looking forward to seeing you all next Thursday. Thank you GrannyGravy13 for saying hello and pointing me in this direction

Sar53 and I have already met,but we need to recognise the other 2 ladies.carnations ? Lol

lillang Fri 09-Nov-18 22:25:18

Hi ebayqueen. Another meet up thread suggested a card with Gransnet on it on the table, but I love carnations too lol

ebayqueen Sun 11-Nov-18 00:02:03

Hello lillang..Think a card is a good idea.Maybe one of us can do that

lillang Mon 12-Nov-18 21:57:47

Okay ebayqueen, will do. See you all Thursdaysmile

GrannyGravy13 Tue 13-Nov-18 08:47:25

Have rang Squires, and they only make reservations for afternoon tea. Sure we shall manage to get a table though.

Are we going with a card for recognition?

lillang Tue 13-Nov-18 19:08:03

Hi GrannyGravy13. Thanks for trying anyway. I will get there a little earlier and hopefully grab a table (politely of course) and put a card with Gransnet on it.

ebayqueen Tue 13-Nov-18 19:51:51

ah that's nice of you lillang. Will look for the card.Would have volunteered to do it but not sure if I will be there earlier than others .

GrannyGravy13 Thu 15-Nov-18 08:38:22

Thank you lillang - see you all soon x

Hi, don’t want to hijack your thread, but when we meet in Reading, Greenfinch suggested colourful scarves! Just a thought. Have a good day

Sar53 Thu 15-Nov-18 09:42:30

Morning all, I will be wearing a white scarf with pink and black bows. See you all later. X

ebayqueen Thu 15-Nov-18 14:49:29
