will do Kayleigh, thanks for organising it.

TurnAgainCat · 14/04/2004 17:59

Kayleigh - please don't be interested in the name as I am afraid that you will be terribly disappointed and find me a wolf in sheep's clothing, or something similar ...

sis · 15/04/2004 10:32

Can I add my name to this one please?

OldieMum · 15/04/2004 10:46

I can't make the 21st, as I won't be back at work until the following week. See you in May?

Kayleigh · 15/04/2004 10:57

Sorry, Oldiemum, that was my mistake. Not concentrating properly ! Will definitely see you in May.

Can you make the May 7th one ? If not will almost definitely have another one later in the month anyway as we do like our "sans enfants" lunches

OP posts:
excel · 21/04/2004 10:04

Yep,I'm coming. Is it just behind broadgate?
How will I know who to look for!

binkie · 21/04/2004 10:06

Look for friendly ladies scanning the crowd with what looks like a printout in their hand - that's what I did first time.

binkie · 21/04/2004 10:08

In case I forget later, shall we organise some flowers for Metrobaby?

binkie · 21/04/2004 10:14

Sorry, completely charging ahead with this, but I'll pick up a card for her on the way so anyone who wants to sign can join in.

I'm hoping someone (Kayleigh???) has her details!

Kaz33 · 21/04/2004 10:24

See you there, where is it Starbucks - Appold Street ?

Original poster
Kayleigh · 21/04/2004 10:26

Good idea binkie. We can leave spaces for boy/girl and fill it in when she's had it !!!!!!!!
Will check if I have her address at home. If not I think I know how to get it.

Excel, we will all be wearing Armani suits, carrying Louis Vuitton briefcases and tottering on 4 inch Jimmy choos - NOT !!
I'll be in a green raincoat (probably with hood up) underneath I'm wearing black trousers, a black waistcoat and a light green long sleeve t-shirt. And underneath that ......
Tell me what you're wearing and we'll look out for you.

I'm still on for it. Luckily it's not far for me to waddle!

vivat · 21/04/2004 10:32

look out for all the pregnant ladies - see you there. IT'S MY LAST DAY TODAY !!!!!!

Kayleigh · 21/04/2004 10:38

Vivat, calm down honey. One city mumsnetter in labour is enough for one day

OP posts:
excel · 21/04/2004 10:38

I'm wearing a black raincoat with black suit and white t shirt. That probably narrows it down to half the people in there!
I've got blondish hair that was straight this morning before this bloody drizzly rain got to it. Now I'm the one with the fluffy frizzy mop.
I'll look out for the green raincoat.

excel · 21/04/2004 10:39

and the pregnant ladies!

CountessDracula · 21/04/2004 10:41

oooh I'm in the city today can I come?
