I really enjoyed our meet ups before Covid. At present I’m not getting out enough. Sadly John Lewis is no longer in Brum, gone, scones and all.
Please post if you are interested in a coffee or lunch meet up. I would love to meet old friends and make new ones. Nonnie, Tegan, Blinko, Hellobaby, I hope we’ll meet again - soon.

Blinko Wed 04-Dec-24 18:35:35

Hello everyone, as we speak I could make any of the proposed dates in January.

Gymstagran Tue 03-Dec-24 12:29:18

Hi all I can't do the 28th but I'm OK with the others. However Blinko preferred earlier in the month. Can you do any of the later dates*Blinko*?

NannyJan53 Mon 02-Dec-24 13:55:58

V3ra I can do any of those dates

V3ra Sun 01-Dec-24 23:56:20

NannyJan53 any of these suit me too:
Tuesday 21st
Wednesday 22nd
Tuesday 28th
Wednesday 29th

Hellobaby1 Sun 01-Dec-24 11:40:35

I will try to come too, not got much on in January, so far

NannyJan53 Sun 01-Dec-24 11:28:50

I am away from 12th to 18th January, but any Tuesday or Wednesday (except for Wed 8th) would be good for me.

Blinko Sat 30-Nov-24 18:09:11

Sorry I’ve only just caught up with this. Yes please, early in the New Year would be better for me.

I wonder if there is a way to keep the meet up threads on the active thread for a few days. I've just spotted this on meetups, sorry Nanny Jan for not responding. I guess we should go for an end of January meet up now.

NannyJan53 Sun 17-Nov-24 17:22:31

The only day I am free now is Wednesday 11th December. It maybe too short notice for most of you now before Christmas. If so perhaps January or February?

I remember you at a John Lewis meet up GrannyBeek

Allsorts The Exchange is right opposite the Library and next to a Metro stop.

Elrel Thu 14-Nov-24 23:28:58

So pleased there was another successful meetup at The Exchange. At present I seem to get one thing wrong after another with (luckily I guess) plenty of clinic appointments. However I hope to make it to your next coffee and cake!

Allsorts Wed 13-Nov-24 07:39:22

I would like to meet up but cannot on Monday or Tuesdays. Can get to Lichfield or Tamworth, anywhere on the northern side. I'm not so keen on Birmingham now but would go for a meet up.

Haven’t looked at the meetup thread for a long time. I went to a couple at John Lewis before Covid. Lovely to see they’ve started up again. Hope I can make the next one.

Hi, sorry to say, I have only just seen this thread, it wasn't showing in recent weeks. Bit short notice for today, sadly, but next time, so long as its on the thread and highlighted, I will endeavour to join you all. Have a lovely time, my dear brummie friends.

Keep an eye open for threads on the “Meet-ups” forum!

Hellobaby1 Wed 09-Oct-24 20:59:52

Let’s make it before Xmas!

NannyJan53 Wed 09-Oct-24 16:03:47

Good to meet everyone, the time flew by. Looking forward to the next one.

Gymstagran Wed 09-Oct-24 16:02:49

A good couple of hours chatting about lots of different topics. Lovely to see you all.

monk08 Wed 09-Oct-24 14:52:04

Nice to have met you all ladies look forward to doing it again.

V3ra Wed 09-Oct-24 10:44:07

Hope to see you next time Elrel, you will be missed today

V3ra Wed 09-Oct-24 00:22:57

So nice to hear you're being well looked after Elrel 🥰

Elrel Wed 09-Oct-24 00:16:28

Thank you, I’m sad not to be seeing you too. Phoned for an appointment today and got one with a very helpful competent paramedic. He changed paracetamol for something stronger and I have an appointment next week with the physio team.

NannyJan53 Tue 08-Oct-24 13:38:30

Sorry to hear that Elrel I hope it eases off soon.

Gymstagran Tue 08-Oct-24 12:08:47

That's a shame Elrel I hope you feel better soon

V3ra Mon 07-Oct-24 23:43:21

Oh that's a real shame Elrel, we'll miss you ☹️
Is it the colder weather aggravating it?
