As mentioned on previous thread (Ladies who like to lunch in London) I'm just starting this one.
If anyone fancies suggesting a date for a new Meet, or a venue (though Debenhams is pretty central) it would be lovely to see you all.

Oh Flossieturner I am so sorry to hear that you felt that way, steeling yourself to meet us lot. We are not all ogres on GN.

You at least know a couple of others you met at another meetup who could not come to ours on Friday but hopefully will come next month. There are 6-7 regulars although we have not been meeting for long, just a year.

I managed a short walk this morning, perhaps I was being a bit hopeful about the next meetup, still onwards and upwards and hope to meet you in 2020!

What lovely comments Flossie. So glad you enjoyed it after all. And I only knew Charlygirl beforehand, so was pleased to make two more new friends in yourself and Catterygirl. See you next time hopefully.

grannysyb please do not worry- I will keep you safe and sound! It is not only the getting there, but one has to get home also. That in the past has been my problem but I have now found the 3 lifts at the tube station in central London so that has helped.

Are we all still on in Central London for Friday the 29th November at 11am at Debenhams 2nd floor cafe?

Flossieturner Tue 19-Nov-19 09:01:06

I am coming. I really enjoyed the last meet up

Niobe Tue 19-Nov-19 09:13:03

Unfortunately I will not be at the Central London Meet-up again on the 29 th as other granny has asked if I can have our lovely grandson. However I should make the Wanstead meet-up this Thursday.

Charleygirl5 Tue 19-Nov-19 09:36:01

I will definitely be there.

loopyloo Tue 26-Nov-19 14:54:11

Sorry I can't make it as going to see my son. Will miss it especially as I wanted to buy a dressing gown at Debenhams. And see everyone of course.

Charleygirl5 Thu 28-Nov-19 10:26:38

That should be me, Flossieturner, notgoneyet, Bellanonna, possibly catterygirl meeting tomorrow the 29th at Debenhams Oxford Street at 11 am at the 2nd floor cafe.

Five of us had a very pleasant if cold meet up at Debenhams yesterday because of air conditioning blasting down on our heads. I did have words with the manager.

We agreed to meet up again on Friday the 17th January 2020. I hope that is accetable to all.

Catterygirl Sat 30-Nov-19 16:22:14

Thank you for organising the most up Charleygirl. I hope I can make the next one. I don't use a diary as always forget to open it. I have a calendar with pretty pictures in my bedroom to refer to. It's time to buy the 2020 one.

Catterygirl Sat 30-Nov-19 16:23:41

That should read meet up, not most up.

grannysyb Mon 13-Jan-20 09:19:59

Is the meet up for this Friday going ahead? If so, I would like to join you. Will it still be in Debenhams?

Charleygirl5 Mon 13-Jan-20 09:27:42

grannysyb yes we will be meeting this Friday at Debenhams. Not in the basement cafe, the other one on either the 2nd or 3rd floor. Would it help if I put my black handbag on the table?

I know I am going as is "Bellanonna" and hopefully there will be others.

Niobe Mon 13-Jan-20 09:48:47

I will be there too. I have missed the last couple of meet ups but should be ok for this Friday.

Charleygirl5 Mon 13-Jan-20 10:55:01

Excellent Niobe is Loopylou* coming with you?

grannysyb Mon 13-Jan-20 10:59:38

Thank you Charleygirl, that would be a help. What time will you be there?

Charleygirl5 Mon 13-Jan-20 11:07:10

The time is 11am but obviously not everybody can get there for then. I just hope it is a day the tubes decide to run! Some stay for lunch- others have to go early so we please ourselves. I hope you enjoy your first meetup with us lot.

Charleygirl5 Sun 16-Feb-20 15:16:34

Hi all,
It is time for our coffee meetup yet again at Debenhams 11 am Oxford Street on Friday the 21st of February.

I am aware that Bellanonna cannot come.

Charleygirl5 Sun 16-Feb-20 17:38:08

Anybody interestd?

Charleygirl5 Sun 16-Feb-20 17:38:37

Interested- my finger slipped.

Charleygirl5 Mon 17-Feb-20 11:49:49

Nobody has been in touch. I am aware that is thread runs away. I will try one more time after this bump up and if no takers I will have a lie-in on Friday.

loopyloo Mon 17-Feb-20 11:54:04

Charlygirl, I would have liked to come but am seeing my son and daughter in law on Friday as it's half term.

Charleygirl5 Mon 17-Feb-20 11:55:28

Thanks for getting in touch.
