Oooh fab!! Can make Thursday lunchtime!! Yippee!!

What's the best time for everyone? 12.30pm?
Meet outside? How shall we know each other?!

Bessie123 · 08/01/2008 12:05

Let's meet inside, in case it's raining etc. We can book a table under 'February' or 'Mumsnet' or something. Also, a table full of v pregnant women is probably difficult to miss...

What do you think?

Thurs (next week?) is good for me, btw.

caramelchewchew · 08/01/2008 13:18

Hi there - can I join too? Just come back from holiday today and have clearly missed a lot but haven't had time to catch up yet!
I'm still working next week but am in the city so can pop across on the central line so shouldn't be too bad to get to Marble Arch next Thursday if thats the consensus.

beansprout · 08/01/2008 15:02

I also did a good "mother of all bumps" gag re mini's effort on the main thread. I'm reet funny me.

Thanks for organising the lunch Tyaca.

Am looking forward to meeting you all (a bit nervous too - i guess being a member of an ante-natal club means i'm a grown up!)

tyaca · 09/01/2008 19:57

tis all beansprout's brainchild. i am just bored and ever so slightly bossy
maybe missing work more than i realised.

really looking forward to too.

tyaca · 14/01/2008 19:28

caramelchewchew · 15/01/2008 12:22

Aargh! Just had a meeting put in that I really need to go to so won't be able to join you for lunch anymore. Sorry and really disappointed not to meet you all. Roll on maternity leave...

LOVEMYMUM · 16/01/2008 08:11

Have got a bit of sinusitis and not sure if i'll be able to make it tomorrow. If i can't, i'll post in the early morning. Have got antibiotics now but still not feeling wonderful. If it's raining, i don't think it's a good idea for me to trek out in the rain.

I really want to come but i have to get better first.

LOVEMYMUM · 16/01/2008 08:13

Me again.

I suppose there won't be enough time to meet up again before we give birth (unless its in a labour ward ) but if i can't make it tomorrow, perhaps we could meet up after giving birth.

I hope i still find time to post afterwards. I've really enjoyed the support from everyone and being part of our club.

tyaca · 16/01/2008 14:58

lovemymum ---- uggghhhh.... sinusitis. poor you, the one time i had it, it was so painful. hope the antibiotics kick in soon. i had an infection in my ear canal over xmas and its so awful not to be able to take anything other than paractemol. hope you get better soon. take care

caramelchew -- v sorry you wont be able to make it. its sooo nice not to have to put work first at the moment, hope your maternity leave comes round quickly for you.

to you both - do feel we're dicing with delivery destiny to try another meet up later, but i'm willing to roll them dice! also, i know violeta was hoping to join us and she's not on leave til feb. first one to start the thread gets to pick the location

looking forward to meeting everyone tomo. i'm about to change the booking to seven people in case cosima comes too

tyaca · 16/01/2008 15:00

OP posts:
Gill79 · 16/01/2008 20:28

righty-ho - see you all tomorrow ladies!Is the table really booked under weight watchers?

LOVEMYMUM · 17/01/2008 09:42

See you all later. Off to invade Mothercare first!

Gill79 · 20/01/2008 18:07
