Anyone in the Broadgate area who fancies a coffee before work?

Hi, Just got out of hospital and am unlikely to be back at work (although if I am then I'll be there!!!!) so hope it goes well and that you'll all be arranging another.

Flick · 26/03/2003 09:53

How about if we all hold a red biro in our right hand whilst standing outside All Bar One?

I will also scan All Bar One tonight or tomorrow morning for a good meeting point! Meant to say - hope you feel better soon Wills.

We could always describe what we're wearing - or hair colour or something .... this feels like meeting for a blind date !!

BTW did anyone know that there are planned rail strikes for tommorrow, Monday and Maundy Thurs? I only knew about it today. Not that it effects our meet up anyway ....

Flick · 27/03/2003 09:33

More rail strikes! Thought they had got them all out the way whilst I was on maternity leave!! Well - it was a vain hope, I guess! Good plan to describe ourselves...forgot to scan All Bar One this morning but sure it will be easy to meet up outside. Wills - fingers crossed that you can join us, otherwise its the perfect excuse to sort out a repeat event!

Hope you're feeling better Wills ...

I don't mind the rail strikes - I get to bag a sneaky working-from-home day then !

shelleyb · 27/03/2003 10:25

Unfortunately my train line wasn't one of those listed as affected by the strikes. I also like those work from home days !
If we describe what we are wearing on the day we should find each other ok. And if we meet on (say) the right of the main doors. i did like the red pen idea too.
Wills, best wishes for a speedy recovery. When we do meet you'll be able to update us on all those daytime soaps

metrobaby · 02/04/2003 10:53

Is this still going ahead for this Friday lunchtime ?

Perhaps we'd better meet closer to 12 as its a Friday all the pubs tend to get a bit busy (plus we can get a table easier).

shelleyb · 02/04/2003 12:30

I'm still coming and I could make it for 12. Flick ?

Flippa · 02/04/2003 13:27

Changed my name as email address also changed and kept forgetting password! Yes, can still make it. Am thinking Starbucks, next to that All Bar One might be better - plenty of comfy seating in and outside...what do you think?

metrobaby · 02/04/2003 14:01

I'm not fussed really. Will we be eating in Starbucks or just having a coffee ? I guess if you guys want to eat All Bar One might be better for food.

(Am dreaming now of a yummy Caramel Macchiato ....)

metrobaby · 02/04/2003 14:03

OooOo

Mind you Starbucks will prob have more chance of seating.

I guess we could always decide when we meet and take it from there ...

I'll go along with anything

shelleyb · 02/04/2003 14:13

Starbucks is fine by me. I'm happy to grab a sandwich back at the office. Might have to do desert first though ! Is the entrance to Starbucks still in Appold Street ?
Am really looking forward to this - pretty nervous too. Where shall we meet ? I guess we should also "speak" friday morning so we can describe roughly what we are wearing.

Flippa · 03/04/2003 12:29

DS had to be collected from nursery by dh this morning so I might have to take tomorrow off if he doesn't get better. If you don't hear from me tomorrow, I am not at work. Bummer - was looking forward to the meet-up.

metrobaby · 03/04/2003 13:04

Hope your ds gets better soon flippa

shelleyb · 03/04/2003 13:32

oh flippa, shame. hope it's nothing too serious with your ds and he's better soon.

Flippa · 03/04/2003 13:34

From the sounds of it, may just be teething so may well be here tomorrow, but just wanted to warn you in case I couldn't turn up.
Have a cake for me!

metrobaby · 04/04/2003 09:13

are we still going ahead with this today ??

shelleyb · 04/04/2003 10:19

I'll be there ! So I hope you will too as it looks like just you and me if we don't hear from Flippa. Is 12:15 ok with you, outside Starbucks on Appold St (next to All Bar One). I'm wearing a long camel coloured coat with a furry hood. Black boots, black skirt. This feels so wierd, I'm really nervous

Metrobaby · 04/04/2003 10:39

I'm v nervous too. I'll have a blue rucksack, grey knee length coat. I've got shoulder-length black hair - prob be in a mess thou

12.15 is fine btw

shelleyb · 04/04/2003 10:51

See you soon !!

sis · 04/04/2003 10:57

Have a great time and hope to be there at the next meet-up.

shelleyb · 04/04/2003 13:48

Metrobaby, it was so nice meeting you.
Shall we arrange another date ? Hopefully flippa and sis will be able to make it, and maybe you too wills if you are back at work. How about same venue, Friday 25th April at 12:15 ?

Metrobaby · 04/04/2003 14:00

Likewise !

I can do that date too - am pretty flexible though if others can't make it.

Wills · 04/04/2003 14:00

Can you do the week after. I'm off to Centre Parcs that day for a long weekend and I would really love to join you next time. Glad to hear it was successful.
