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.

that was a very pleasant meetup today. It is the story of my life that restaurants move or close down but at least we found each other.

I am not sure we even stopped for breath because we had so much to chat about. Loopyloo please tell your DH we did not touch on "girlie" things.

I sincerely hope that your credit cards stayed safely in your bags because I was not there to supervise you after we had lunch. I stepped on to tubes and buses and was home in no time. We must have a repeat performance.

Catterygirl we will obviously let you know when the next meetup is. I can well do without tomorrow's forecast for rain.

Catterygirl Thu 06-Jun-19 16:20:06

I cannot make this Friday now but hope you have fun.

loopyloo Thu 06-Jun-19 12:15:37

Yes really looking forward to it. Anyone else out there who would like to join us?

Niobe Thu 06-Jun-19 11:27:22

Will meet you at 10 at Wanstead Loopyloo xx

loopyloo Thu 06-Jun-19 11:21:28

See you at 11 am. Tomorrow.

loopyloo Thu 06-Jun-19 09:40:47

Thanks, Charlygirl !

Charleygirl5 Thu 06-Jun-19 08:45:37

loopyloo the restaurant is on the 5th not the 4th floor!!!

loopyloo Thu 06-Jun-19 08:08:58

Looking forward to seeing everyone at Debenhams, Osxford Street. 4th floor restaurant table near the tills. 11 am. Tomorrow 7th June. Come And have a chat and then do some shopping.

loopyloo Thu 06-Jun-19 07:42:25

Hi there. Yes Niobe, will be delighted to be at Wanstead station at 10am. Looking forward to seeing everyone at 11 am at Debenhams.
Vivance, do come and join us at 12!

Charleygirl5 Wed 05-Jun-19 19:10:24

If you are there early, maybe if you put your handbag on the table? That at least will be two of us.

Niobe Wed 05-Jun-19 19:04:20

Thank you for that Charleygirl15. I too will be there but don't know what I will be wearing as the BBC Weather app is predicting rain but probably a black raincoat or jacket. Looking forward to meeting you and anyone else who shows up.

Charleygirl5 Wed 05-Jun-19 14:03:28

I will be at Debenhams restaurant Oxford Street at 11am on Friday the 7th June. The restaurant is on the 5th floor and the restaurant being large it is easier to meet at a table near the tills.

If I am there first I will place my small black handbag on the table. My hair is short, straight and almost white. I will be wearing a black cardigan.

The air con there can be rather fierce!

Niobe Wed 05-Jun-19 09:24:13

I will be there Loopyloo . Could meet you at Wanstead UG station and we could travel together if it suits you say at 10 am.

GrandmaMoira Wed 05-Jun-19 09:21:03

If you arrange another meetup, I would be interested but can't do this week.

vivonce Wed 05-Jun-19 09:19:51

Sorry, I would love to meet, but limited local bus service to High Wycombe station.....means I can't reach Oxford St before mid-day.

loopyloo Wed 05-Jun-19 09:15:47

Hi there, how's it going for this Friday in Debenhams? I will be there at 11am at the entrance to the restaurant. Not sure what floor it's on. Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Grannyknot Fri 31-May-19 16:51:18

Hi everyone, I can't make Friday 7th, sorry! I have a dentist appointment that I am reluctant to change. Enjoy the meetup!

Catterygirl Fri 31-May-19 16:35:40

I can do 11 a.m. on Friday 7th June, at the moment.

Bellanonna Thu 30-May-19 09:00:57

Grandson duty on the 7th. 21st was mentioned and I could do that.

loopyloo Thu 30-May-19 07:41:11

That's good Niobe!

Niobe Wed 29-May-19 22:30:33

Friday 7th June at 11am is good for me.

notgoneyet Wed 29-May-19 21:13:41

I can't make a Wednesday unfortunately. Can usually negotiate round most other days, preferably a Tuesday but definitely not Wednesday/
Friday 7th June a possibility but a date a bit close so will have to confirm later.

loopyloo Wed 29-May-19 19:49:00

Be interesting to see! I will post something from time to time so people see it.

Charleygirl5 Wed 29-May-19 18:18:39

That sounds good to me- I wonder how many will join us?
