Pregnancy Post-MC Graduates' London Meet-Up

[LaraandLittleBean]

So exciting to see so many people interested in our pregnancy post-MC grads London meet-up!

So far 21st Aug sounds like a potential winner (Blackkat - you HAVE to come!) Does that work for you all, Ladies?

Shall we say the afternoon, about 2pm?

Pink mentioned that her train comes into St Pancras. I can be quite flexible. All I suggest is that it is somewhere where we can relax and indulge in naughty cakes. Suggestions?

Okay Ladies - we need to get this confirmed once and for all.

I propose we stick with Patisserie Valerie in Victoria and I will call them to confirm they can reserve us a table.

Please can you all confirm your attendance - the list of names I currently have attending (although anyone is welcome!):-

• Me
• Dachs
• BigMac
• Wombat33
• Stitchinline
• Blackkat

Is the above correct? Anyone else I've missed? Please confirm ASAP so I can get a table booked for 2pm this Sunday.

Thanks Lara - I'm coming

You missed me I'm coming!!

Oops - sorry, Velvet... My brain's all over the place today (you wouldn't think I worked in events would you?! )

Okay - list is:

• Velvet
• Me
• Dachs
• BigMac
• Wombat33
• Stitchinline
• Blackkat

I have just rung Patisserie Valerie in Vict and they're happy for us to book a table for as many as we need.

As soon as peeps confirm, shall I PM you my personal email address and then anyone that is happy to share their email, please reply with their email and then we can converse by group email rather than on this? For example, I assume we won't call BigMac, BigMac on the day, will we?!

Sorry, I'll have to bow out - I booked train tickets last week so I'll be heading north just after the meet up time, sorry. to miss you all, next time!! Couldn't miss the bargain tickets

I'll def be there!

So current DEFINITE list is:

• Me
• Velvet
• Stitch

And me and me! Good idea re off-MN emailing to sort out finer details. Although BigMac is my real name... my mum and dad just loved McDonalds :)

Of course it is, bigmac...! PM coming your way - have already pm-ed velvet and stitch

Current confirmed list:

• Me
• Velvet
• Stitch
• BigMac

To be honest, although I'd love to meet everyone, I'm finding this 2ww really stressful and I'm not sure I'm up to meeting lots of pg ladies this weekend. Unless I get an early BFP beforehand, but the earliest that is likely to happen is Friday. Although I don't think it's worked, so it's likely to be a BFN.

I totally understand, Dachs. We're all gunning for you and I really hope Friday brings good news. If you change your mind, just come along - I will PM you my mobile number and we'd love to see you there. I totally understand though if a table of pregnant women is the last thing you feel like being around.

I think the only ladies I have yet to hear from are Pink and Wombat33...

Ladies, are you joining us on Sunday? Anyone else in the London vicinity and fancy popping along?

Boooo - obviously can't come over and meet up (although will be in Prague so slightly closer!) but just wanted to wish you all a very happy meet-up! Looking forward to hearing all the gossip afterwards.

wish I was coming!! why didn't I think of getting everyones email for the northern meet!! Doh!!!

Have fun ladies and have a slice of pecan pie for me! Xx

Hey - just wanted to say have fun all. Would normally join in as London-based but I'll actually be up North this weekend so bad timing for me. Look forward to hearing all about it!

dachs really sorry to hear we won't get to meet, but completely understand. Fingers, toes etc remain crossed for a BFP and my remaining goldfish is eyeing me nervously as the threat of sacrifice is still in the air
x

I'm in! Lara I will PM you my email and phone number!

Wooo hoooo...

We have:

• Me
• Velvet
• Stitch
• BigMac
• Pink

Email to follow shortly

Afternoon ladies...

Let's not let the dream die :) I'm still up for meeting if you are so how about the following dates (although I might be even more of a whale by then)

Very possibly Sun 4th September but would rather avoid
Sun 25th September
Saturday 1st October

I could potentially meet up in London after work which make dates a lot easier to sort out, but I wouldn't get to Victoria until 6 at the earliest and don't know if this is feasible for anyone else...

I'm really sorry I couldn't make it on Sunday :( my PGP has just been awful the past few days!

I can't do 4th as it's my first NCT class but the other 2 are good for me.

I could do after work if we need to, depending on the day I can be there for 5.30 - 6ish.

Hey Ladies

Glad we're not letting the dream die!

I can work with any of BigMac's proposed dates or alternatively, the post-work thing would also work (although I recall this might not work for BigMac)

So when shall we do?

Post work would be fine for me. Also of those dates I can do 1 October.

Jello ladies really glad you're not letting the dream die! Think it's v unlikely I'll make the meetup as mini pink is due end sept but hopefully I'll be able to make the next one (they're going to be regular occurrences, right?????)

How is Sunday 25th Sept? Common Ladies - want to meet you all and scoff cake!!!!

Totally understand, Pink and yes, we must make them regular occurrences - will be all the easier to organise once we're ladies that lunch (on mat leave)...

Hands up if 25th Sept works?
