Anyone in the Broadgate area who fancies a coffee before work?

I'd love to meet up. I come into Liverpool St station weds/thurs & frids. I start work at 9:30 but couldn't get to Liverpool St before 9:00. If that's too late I could do a quick sandwich at lunchtime.

I too am happy to meet up. I'm currently off sick and definitely wouldn't be up to the journey at the moment but once I'm back at work I'd be happy to meet up. I think timing is the problem for mornings. I'm fairly flexible but need to sort out getting my dd to school via dh and he needs time to sort it out.

I was just suggesting mornings as I tend to have to keep my head down at lunchtimes so I can get out at a reasonable time to pick ds up. So could do 9am for a coffee - how about Starbucks? Otherwise, am sure I could do a cheeky lunch sometime.....

Flick, How about a coffee at 9:00 on thursday 3rd April. Do you mean the Starbucks inside Liverpool St Station ? There are so many round here.
Wills, if you aren't back at work by then just let us know when you are and we can arrange another meet.

Sounds good - how about the Starbucks on Appold St/Sun St, do you know the one I mean? Its a bit quieter than the one actually in the station....

I work in the area too but am always running late so can't make breakfast but if anyone wants to meet-up over a quick lunch, I'd be able to come. I work from home on Tuesdays and Thursdays so can meet up on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

Wills, hope you feel better soon.

I know where you mean. If you can get my email from tech support we can exchange descriptions. I don't fancy going into details on here !!

Sorry sis we overlapped. i can do lunch weds or fridays. Flick do you want to change our date to lunchtime (we'll make it a quick one) so we can all meet together ?

Flick · 21/03/2003 17:09

Yep, can do lunch too, just let me know where and when....

Flick & Sis - Can you do lunch on friday 4th April. Say 12:30. We can decide on a venue once we agree date & time. Anyone else want to join us for a quick sandwich at lunchtime ?

Shelleyb, the 4th is fine for me.

Sounds fine for me. Might only have to be a quick coffee but would be great to meet up nonetheless......

Oh I am a stupid, brain dead idiot!!! - I acn't make the 4th I hadn't checked properly. I am really sorry and would still like to meet up with all three of you. Will you forgive me and let me join you next time?

That date is fine with me. Is the Lime Bar near the Deutsche Bank building (no 1 Appold St - opp All Bar One) ?

Must admit I am nervous now ... does everyone know one another ? I'm a mumsnet meetup virgin you see.

Report
Flick · 25/03/2003 11:42

actually, why don't we go to the All Bar One as that is easier to find - the one opp Deutsche Bank. I won't know anyone either...! How will we recognise each other????

Hhmmm good question - to which I have no good answer.

Is there any significant sign/area inside All Bar One we could meet at perhaps ?

Report
Flick · 25/03/2003 12:03

Hmm, there are seats outside starbucks (which is next to All Bar One) but that might be a bit confusing....any suggestions?

This feels like a blind date ! Metrobabys idea of a significant sign/place is a good idea. Flick, would you be able to give All Bar One a once over before we meet and choose a likely spot. Then all we need to do is head in that direction and look out for other bewildered, nervous women with either sick stains on their shoulders or cereal handprints on their behinds
