Just seeing if we can get the ball rolling. I'm in N1 and am free most mornings till about 12, and most afternoons except Fridays from about 3.30, though these times can be shifted a bit.

Everyone else: times, places?

Please confirm that I've got the lunch details right and I'll book ...

That sounds good to me - I can book if you want Franch? Everyone else?

LadyLazarus · 02/08/2005 17:34

Oh no franch! what a shame I'm in, Boompi ...

Boompi · 03/08/2005 17:26

Bump - KF and Katts? Let me know and I can book resturant - unfair to make Franch do it I feel.

Kiwifruit · 04/08/2005 10:06

Boompi - that would be great.

Franch - maybe you could bring DD to lunch?

Anyone else keen for a pedicure? If I haven't heard by 3pm, will call and cancel one of the appointments.

Boompi · 04/08/2005 13:21

Booked for 1230pm under my first name.
Franch - if you and dd can make it - that would be great!

Katts · 04/08/2005 14:25

Keep forgetting to check this thread, sorry.

I might be late for lunch as DP has booked me another pregnancy massage that morning. If I'm late just start without me and I'll meet you there later.

Kiwifruit · 04/08/2005 17:35

Katts - am very about your massage - where do you go for that? You'll be having a very pampering day!

See you all on Saturday...

KF - yes I did think about bringing DD but then realised it would take me about an hour there and an hour back by bus which is quite hard work with her at the moment and then a friend offered to entertain her on Sat while I get a few things ready for #2 - this seems sensible as I have done NOTHING so far ... In addition one of the midwives is now supposed to be coming over on Sat so I'm def going to have to miss out

Franch. Think we should all try and have another meetup near the end of August, as should be easier by then - most of us will be on maternity leave, so can maybe have a midweek lunch (ooohhh - have always wanted to be a 'lady who lunches'!! ).

That would be lovely KF. How easy is it for everyone to get to the Angel area? That way I could easily bring DD, who'd undoubtedly love to meet you all (she's very gregarious and a budding lady who lunches herself )

OP posts:
Boompi · 05/08/2005 13:36

Angel is easy enough for me - so I am up for it.

Katts · 05/08/2005 13:43

Angel's great here.

Just wanted to say, if somehow I miss you for lunch on Sat I'll definitely meet you for the pedicure.

Kiwifruit · 05/08/2005 13:46

I can do Angel - will have all the time in the world after the 23rd. Ha ha

Fabulous. 30th or 31st Aug good for anyone?

OP posts:
Kiwifruit · 05/08/2005 14:33

30th is good for me. Can't do the 31st, could do the 1st...

Boompi · 05/08/2005 14:57

30th sounds fine. Very close to d-day!!

At the risk of being unimaginative, there's a Wagamama in the N1 Centre - ? Can we make it early, say 12?

OP posts:
LadyLazarus · 06/08/2005 09:35

I can do any day around end of August, and Angel is not too much of a problem to get to. Be nice to meet up again before the Big Events start a-happening

goldenoldie · 06/08/2005 10:21

Ooooooooo, can I come? Not due till November, but live in N1 and you will lunching just down the road from me.

Of course, goldenoldie! You'd be very welcome. So we'll say 30 Aug, 12 noon @ Wagamama in the N1 Centre then? No bookings there AFAIK but for our own use here's our list so far:

franch + DD
goldenoldie

Boompi
KF
