Due Sept 05 - LONDON MEET - Aug and Oct welcome!

[franch]

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?

I think I'm free any of the days mentioned. Park might be good, Richmond might be a tad far tho, how about something more central?

Can't do 23 July but can do 13 Aug - shall we arrange something for both??

Sounds good to me. If we do plan a last minute weekend away it will def not be 13th Aug as I will be about 38 weeks! Should be around for both though.

Let's go for 13 Aug then shall we? It's probably a bit unrealistic to think I will feel like 23rd July as going away next day and will prob be in midst of much ironing etc! Have wedding on12th Aug and some friends may still be around as it's local but should be alright. Oh sh**, just realised kids will be away so dh was hoping for a last day by ourselves.....What about the Sunday 14th. OMG I'm making life difficult aren't I? Maybe you should just forget about me and we'll get together with the babies in Oct ish!!!.....

13th of August sounds perfect - you're right about not going away anywhere around then Boompi!

So do we have a consensus on date/s?

13th Aug is ok with me as far as I know ....

Can't do 13th as I said in my post. As I suddenly seem to have an overactive social life, it's easier to leave me out! Have to say, if there's one month I could do without so many social engagements, it's Aug but suppose should make the most of it before baby arrives! Just hope it cools down a bit.

What a pity Andif.
Rest of ladies - are we settling on 6th or 13th Aug?

Shall we go back to Plan A, which was 6 Aug? I think 5 of us could make it then?

(13th is OK for me if 6th no longer suits.)

I can do either... shame if you can't come this time Andif, which days ARE you free? maybe we could reschedule so everyone can go?

I can do either - lets do the 6th so Andif can come too.

Andif's on holiday on the 6th, aren't you andif?

sorry, haven't been watching this thread so taken time to reply. Still away on 6th. Was just thinking could do midweek, but of course, kids will be off school - I don't want to bring them and panic you all about older kids!!!! What about midweek in July before they break up? Sorry to keep throwing spanners in the works, but would really like to try and make a meetup!

I can do midweek from 18th of July. And still free on 6th/13th Aug

That's my last week before summer holidays, so fine any day except Fri.

I'm away that week - looks like we're doomed not to meet before the babies turn up, andif! Why don't you go ahead and arrange something that week and then we'll do the lunch & pedicure thing on the 6th as well? If everyone's OK with the latter, please confirm and I'll book the lunch at Eat & 2 Veg if that seems a good idea. This is my 6 Aug list so far:

KF
Boompi
LadyL
Katts
franch

KF, do you mind speaking to the feet people again?

Count me in for 6th Franch.
A midweek meet in week starting 18th July - I am flexible - any suggestions?

Yes I am definitely up for 6th lunch + pedicure... re: the week of the 18th, I am free every day except 19th, as I have another scan at 11.30 (although could still make it if we didn't meet til after 1pm say) ... maybe we could just go for a coffee or something?

6th is good - will call about the pedicure tomorrow.

Andif - we will have to organise another catchup so we can get together again!

OK Laydees - have booked 5 pedicures at NYNC on Marylebone High Rd at 2pm on 6th August.

These are the people I had on my list:
Me
Boompi
Lady L
Katts
Franch

Now we just need to decide where to eat - Franch was talking about booking Eat & 2 Veg, but not sure if she did.

Also, apparently no need to ring and book one of the spaces I've held - they're all in my name. If you can't make it, please let me know so I can call and cancel. Thanks!

KF, thanks so much for arranging this. I'm afraid though that I'm going to have to pull out - DH now has to work on Sat. Will book lunch for you as promised though. 4 people, Eat & 2 Veg, Sat 6 Aug, 12.30pm? Will use same surname as last time.

Oh no Franch - what a pity.
