Hi all,
A lovely meet up and lunch ( meet earlier next time then they don't throw us out at 3pm.)??
Hope that we can all make the next one at the end of October.

It doesn't look good to be thrown out of a pub, does it? blush
We mentioned 31st October - that's good for me. wine

What a lovely lunch in a great pub. Thanks,Struggling for suggesting it and for the photo share. Unfortunately the 31st is the day I'm on Granny duty. Is Friday 27th or Wednesday 1st any good? I don't expect plans to be made just for my benefit,though.??

nanasam Tue 26-Sep-17 17:32:08

Can't do it without you, fish, I can do either of those dates. DGD is due on the 27th so I may have some good news grin

lemongrove Tue 26-Sep-17 20:03:10

Wednesday is the 4th!
I can do the 4th, if everyone else can?

lemongrove Tue 26-Sep-17 20:29:05

As you were,? Looked at wrong month.
I can do the wed 1st Nov, relying on buses and kind people once again.

Great meet up once again, thoroughly enjoyed it, - when I eventually got there, and thanks to Lorraine who followed me, to correct my directions, as I was going the wrong way once again, fortunately I made it to the petrol station. I am such a dork!
Any of the dates mentioned work for me, shall we settle on 1st Nov.

Hi everyone, it was a really entertaining meeting, I am sure that the poor chap behind us learnt a thing or 2! I am fine with 1st November which seems to be a date that fits with everyone. If everyone's ok with the same venue I will book us a table for 12:00 noon. Looking forward to it already. NanaSam, are you ok about a lift for lemon? Happy to help otherwise.

nanasam Fri 29-Sep-17 10:33:39

1st is good for me too, struggling and I'm more than happy to pick lemon up at 1145. Shall we all come with a daft solution to world problems? Can't wait!!!

lemongrove Fri 29-Sep-17 11:25:20

Or suggestions for DH's Christmas presents ( always harder for me to fix than world problems)?

nanasam Fri 29-Sep-17 11:55:35

By all means, in fact that's a much more practical idea!

lemongrove Fri 29-Sep-17 12:00:32

Why don't we scribble a few suggestions down, mix them up on the table and try and guess which pressies suit who's DH? ?

lemongrove Fri 29-Sep-17 12:01:24

Meaning, that we put things down which suit our own DH, or at least may do.

Struggling2do1 Sat 30-Sep-17 22:39:52

Sounds like fun, what do you get the man with everything!

I couldn't manage September's meet-up and cannot currently manage Wednesdays as I have a class in Oxford from 10.30 to 12.30 (plus an afternoon commitment on 1 November). Mondays are also out.

Struggling2do1 Fri 06-Oct-17 21:37:39

Hi MOnica, finding a date which fits with all has proved to be quite difficult. The October meet has been agreed and booked for Wednesday 1st November. We will keep in mind your difficulties with Wednesdays & Mondays when setting our next meeting.

M0nica Fri 06-Oct-17 21:50:40

Wednesday problem is only until Christmas. I am doing a one term course in Oxford. Next term the class I am doing is on a Tuesday evening.

Fishpieplease Sat 28-Oct-17 17:36:59

Looking forward to meeting up on Wednesday. Attempted a PM, but with no success.

lemongrove Sat 28-Oct-17 17:41:03

Yes, looking forward to seeing you all for another pub lunch,
Have to remember it closes at 3pm this time.?

nanasam Sun 29-Oct-17 14:52:04

Same here, will bring DH pressie ideas and pick your brains for a round the table game.

Struggling2do1 Tue 31-Oct-17 21:18:45

I have a suggestion for a game but it takes a bit of thought so I don't want to spring it on you! I think that we all check for any late messages so here goes, just in case you all look at this before tomorrow lunchtime. You must tell the group three things about yourself, two must be true and one must be fabricated. It can be great fun trying to guess which is the fib! The game also enables us to find out a bit more about each other. See you all tomorrow at midday. X

Fishpieplease Wed 01-Nov-17 16:03:08

Another nice lunch,although it’s getting to be a habit to be chucked out of a pub at closing time!!

I’ve rearranged my appointments and so November 22nd is now ok with me.

nanasam Wed 01-Nov-17 17:52:06

Great for me too wine

brileo Thu 02-Nov-17 11:08:53

Oh how I enjoyed our time together yesterday - we are a great group.
Nov 22nd is good for me too, looking forward to it.

brileo Thu 02-Nov-17 11:10:05

Morning Lemongrove, hope you are feeling better, does Nov 22nd work for you?
