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.

Depending on dates - since December is already looking fairly busy - I would.

Niobe Thu 03-Nov-22 09:54:04

Yes I’m interested Charleygirl. Happy with either pre or post Xmas meet up.

Charleygirl5 Thu 03-Nov-22 19:05:10

That is great Niobe it will be good to meet up again.

Here are a few dates- see what people think. Friday 2nd December, Tuesday 6th and Wednesday the 7th of December? If none is suitable maybe after Christmas but the weather may be inclement.

I have no idea what the tubes will be doing, the bus drivers I believe have come to an agreement.

Elusivebutterfly Fri 04-Nov-22 09:55:58

I could do Friday 2nd December or Wednesday 7th. This is dependent on no train strikes. I travel to central London by train (as does Bellanonna) as no tubes here.

Charleygirl5 Fri 04-Nov-22 10:17:01

I am also dependent on the tubes and buses running as my journey is by car, bus and 2 tubes.

Elusivebutterfly we will wait and see what others say.

Bellanonna Fri 04-Nov-22 17:54:24

Hi Charleygirl. I’d love to met up again. 7th December would be better for me. Also happy to meet after Cmas.
I gather today that there won’t be any rail strikes.

Charleygirl5 Fri 04-Nov-22 19:05:07

The 7th December, a Wednesday would suit me fine and in my opinion, it is far enough away from the 25th to hopefully not make JL very crowded.

That will be 3 of us we could do with a few more!

Charleygirl5 Sat 05-Nov-22 21:54:04

Anybody else interested?

Charleygirl5 Sun 06-Nov-22 15:09:37

Shall we say Wednesday the 7th of December at 11 am 5th floor John Lewis Oxford Street.

The first person to arrive bags hopefully a window table and if not, the closest to the windows.

Any questions please just ask.

Bellanonna Sun 06-Nov-22 17:51:05

Sounds good Charkeygirl.

loopyloo Sun 06-Nov-22 19:33:43

Should be able to make Wed's 7th.
See you then.

Charleygirl5 Mon 07-Nov-22 09:53:18

Only Niobe to confirm and we are up and running.

Elusivebutterfly Mon 07-Nov-22 12:35:02

That sounds good for me, though I possibly may be a little later than 11.

Charleygirl5 Mon 07-Nov-22 18:36:09

Elusivebutterly do not worry. The last time I met anybody there I arrived exactly on time. None of us can travel before 9.30 am and I go by car, bus and 2 tubes so if the system is not working 100% there can be a problem.

You do not know any of us (I do not think) so I will keep my dark green anorak on until you and Wizend arrive. The remaining three and I have met before.

Hi Charleygirl
Nice to hear from you again. It will be lovely to see you all. I can make 7th December so I look forward to being there smile

Niobe Fri 18-Nov-22 19:30:47

Sorry just seen this. 7 th December is good for me too. Will mark the diary.

Charleygirl5 Fri 18-Nov-22 21:47:00

Niobe that is great. Nearer the time we will have a better idea if tubes, trains and buses will be running on that day or not. I am aware there will be more strikes but to my knowledge, no dates have been mentioned.

Niobe Fri 18-Nov-22 22:03:36

Charleygirl , we will just have to watch the news and this thread in case of any changes at the last minute.

Witzend Tue 22-Nov-22 13:20:50

Sorry, won’t be able to do the 7th. Dd away for work (again) so will be away, helping SiL to get 3 small Gdcs up, dressed, breakfasted, and to school and nursery….and pick ups. Will need a rest cure afterwards but heigh ho.

Charleygirl5 Tue 22-Nov-22 13:33:32

Witzend OMG you will need a few days rest after doing so much! You can think of us having lunch and relaxing!

Catterygirl Tue 29-Nov-22 00:37:47

Just found this and am hoping to join you.

Charleygirl5 Tue 29-Nov-22 09:26:47

Catterygirl It will be good to see you again. We are reliant on tubes and trains not going on strike.

Catterygirl Wed 30-Nov-22 00:41:59

I will be watching the news.

Catterygirl Mon 05-Dec-22 00:29:22

Just found out OH has organised the cleaner for a deep clean this week. Her normal day is Thursday but this week she’s coming on Wednesday so unfortunately I can’t make it. Bit disappointed but hope you have a great time.

I live in London and would love to make new friends...
