July City Lunch - any takers!

[Marina]

Before we all break up for the school summer hols, or break down with our alleged Alpha Mummy lifestyles - who fancies lunch in Spitalfields?

Dates I'd like to suggest are Thursday 12th July or Monday 16th July...

Thank you Frogs!
I'm getting a consensus for PP so I'll book it for you now and report back.

I can't believe how naive I was re Giraffe - had no idea it was such a popular place

Will keep eyes peeled for NovemberGirl and Kewcumber - have CATed them but I doubt they'll get it in time

fine by me - I have to fall about 300 yds further but guess I can live with that...

another good standby is The Kings Stores in the lanes between Middlesex St and Spitallfields. they've renovated and although a pub the food is very good. I think you can book tables (though not absolutely sure)

Have just booked a table for six here although thankfully it sounds as though you all know its whereabouts

I am so sorry about the confusion and not to be there myself this time but have a good lunch

And next time we'll make it handy for you Kewcumber your suggestion sounds nice too

giraffe seemingly need bookings for lunch a week in advance

I just thought they would not be totally full in school term-time, doh

Table is booked in my RL name which hoxty and dino both know and hopefully frogs can remember, or get off hoxty by text

Sorry you can't make it, Marina -- hopefully hc will get my txt soon.

Do you want me to email dino?

Frogs, I do too. Bundle is hopefully texting her too and I sent a mail but am unsure it's to the right addy.

Just in case, my name sounds like a top-notch public school for boys to the West of London, and there is a square in Belgravia spelled the same. And apparently an enormous department store in Canada.
None of which bijou associations have any relevance to my family, sadly

Dino knows, thanks frogs - and is still hoping to make it at 1pm ish

Ermm, you'll have to be less cryptic, marina. I only know your first name, did you book it in that too?

she usually travels by bus so hopefully will get it soon from one of us!

Ah yes, Marina, just clocked it. Brain not firing on all cylinders atm...

got it Marina - wasn't there a thread about your shcool just recently? (also know the canadian store)

Kewcumber, are you bringing your little gherkin? [hopeful, broody emoticon]

Neither is mine frogs, as you can probably tell
You've got it right re name

re: marina's name

which is obviously a rather messy ice cream/summer fruit/meringue pudding too

Now that I would be happy to be associated with bundle

sorry little gherkin is at home - difficult to get much work done with him hanging around in the office!

we are going to Mumsnet London picnic though if the weather is good - so if you;re around you could meet him then.

sorry to go awol! thanks for all texts & e-mails. lovely to see everyone, i think dd didn't behave too badly.

I thought your DD behaved beautifully - my DS would hve been wrecking the joint. Weleft very shortly after you anyway and I needed to get back to my pile of work whcih I didn;t do!

Nice to meet y'all.

Marina - sorry to hear about your bus crash - would it be inappropriate to ask if your behind is recovering?

what - did I miss a bus crash

Kew - Marina 10.44

oh so sorry Marina how is your, erm, leg.
