Time for a Christmas meet up my friends. I was thinking about the week beginning 4th December in our usual venue, the Concert Hall..
Hoping to see the usual suspects and perhaps some new members. We are a friendly bunch and would love to see some new faces.

Just say the days you are free and then we can try to find a suitable date.

Wishing you all a lovely time. I’ve been thinking of saying how envious I am but didn’t want to hurt the feelings of the group down south ( 👋 waves to Greenfinch).

I haven’t been able to get to a meetup for what seems a long time now and although our meetings have been lovely we’ve never been able to gather the numbers of the Glasgow Grannies or indeed some of the Northern groups in the past and yet we are a very friendly lot.
And don’t stop talking when we get together. wink

Enjoy yourselves.

I’ll definitely be there 😀

I’ll be there if I’m spared. 😁
My entire family used that expression MD!

Marydoll Tue 05-Dec-23 16:43:32

My mother's favourite saying was, If God spares me.
So if God spares me, I will be there! 🤣

Definitely coming, all being well, as I cheerily say! Looking forward to seeing everyone.

Grannmarie Tue 05-Dec-23 10:52:36

I'm coming! I might be a little late, as mentioned previously, but I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone. 🥰

Marydoll Tue 05-Dec-23 08:41:57

Whooppee! It will be lovely to meet you!

Wheniwasyourage Tue 05-Dec-23 08:34:30

Still coming unless the trains are off for some reason. Looking forward to meeting everyone!

Marydoll Tue 05-Dec-23 08:29:10

I will keep two seats! 😂

Looking forward to seeing you both.

Im definitely coming along tomorrow marydoll , really looking forward to it 😀
If there’s any travel delays I’ll let you know

Grandmabatty Tue 05-Dec-23 08:16:26

I'm coming

Marydoll Tue 05-Dec-23 07:14:11

Only one more sleep!

Would you please confirm if you are definitely coming or not so that we can keep seats, in case the Café Bar is busy? Thanks!.

I could try Marydoll but I don’t think my hearing would be up to it.☹️
Down south we have very sedate meet ups of about half a dozen people.

Marydoll Mon 04-Dec-23 18:36:26

Greenfinch, to be a member of the Glesca Grannies' Gang, you must be able to engage in multiple conversations at the same time. Could you manage that?
As for being able to understand us, we are all very posh! Not! 🤣

Greenfinch Mon 04-Dec-23 18:04:18

I hope you all have a lovely time on Wednesday. As a recent convert to Two Doors Down I am imagining you all sitting there chatting in your lovely Glaswegian /Scottish accents eating expensive doughnuts (remember that one?)
I have only been to Glasgow once and a funny thing happened. I was standing in the foyer of my hotel when a young man asked me a question. I hadn’t a clue what he was saying and must have looked blank as someone else interpreted and said he is asking you where the football ground is .😄

weenanni59 Mon 04-Dec-23 17:16:41

Me too 😀

Marydoll Mon 04-Dec-23 08:20:58

Two more sleeps, 💤💤💤💤💤💤
I'm so excited!!!

Marydoll Sun 03-Dec-23 16:28:49

Perhaps not to your face Jeannie! 😉

Baggs Sun 03-Dec-23 16:19:08

Do you? If I've ever noticed I've also forgotten 😀

Marydoll Sun 03-Dec-23 16:12:08

Baggs

Decisions, decisions, Mdoll!! Probably both names and it'll be a wee card in a cellophane holder thingy that you can clip on. Nowt but the best for me 😁

Is that because after all these years I call you the wrong name? 🤣

I'd have loved to have come too...if I hadn't moved from Rosneath to Orkney in 2005! Have a great time, all of you!

Marydoll Sun 03-Dec-23 14:16:39

Now Baggs, would that be your username, real name or to really push the boat out, both?
Just to clarify, is it a sticky label, a pin badge or a piece of card on string round your neck?
I won't need a badge. Find the wee, round wifie making the most noise, that's me.🤣

Baggs Sun 03-Dec-23 09:37:36

Getting my name badge ready.... smile

Grandmabatty Sun 03-Dec-23 08:09:05

Don't you go overdoing it before then Marydoll. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again. I missed the last get together because of childcare.
