Oh Beans so sorry I am going to be a blow out too. Hope you haven't firmed up the booking yet. Would love to have put faces to names. Sorry guys.

Beans - I'm going to come if that's ok, and will bring my DS (22 months so needs a high chair) with me. We were going to be away this week but decided couldn't be bothered so am really pleased will be able to meet you all. See you at 12:30.

Thanks!

Will swap Emma for Lal! And get a high chair sorted - any other high chairs needed?

Beans I think I will meet you straight at Buona Sera at 12.45 as I will be able to park somewhere off Northcote rd easier than near the station - have to drive as need to nip off after lunch for my 38 week appointment which is at 2.30. So don't wait for me at Costa but I will see you at the restaurant!

I am still good for lunch tomorrow - looking forward to it!

And I don't have any other little ones with me.

Have just realised how long it will take me from deepest darkest Essex. So am going to bail really sorry. Will be more up for meeting another time, maybe if we could do east London then tis a bit easier for me to get to.

Ok, I am going to try to come, despite threat of driving lesson. Costa in Clapham Junction station at 12.30. Beans, I think you have missed Waiting Girl off the list. My phone number is 07795217915. I have put it on here before so I'm not really bothered - if anyone's a stalker, believe me I'm not worth it! See you tomorrow girls. And someone text me if there is a change of plan, as won't see emails for a day or two now.

I'll waddle along at 1230 also.... assuming nothing major comes up!

oh and def no high chairs needed - yet -

is Costa in the station?

yes, thx ladyt, i have been left off the list. am attempting to make it - will text ladyt if i can't (dh's mad 20 year old cousin has decided to descend on us for a couple of days), but aiming to get to costa for 12.30. is anyone bringing labels? shall we all refer to each other by our nicknames only?

good question re: if the costa is in the station - i've looked it up and there seem to be 2 in near proximity, but i presume this is the right one: this page

please correct if not. will now try to put the link to the restaurant on a map as well

location of restaurant, Buona Sera this page

this is the restaurant we're meeting at, isn't it - hope i haven't got that wrong.

Hi..I'll be there...I don't know Clapham Junction station very well but will do my best!! At least we are all very obvious now!

Hello! Sorry waiting girl - how rude of me!!! You can meet either at the restaurant at 12.45 or at the Costa in CJ at 12.30.

The Costa I'm talking about is actually inside the station - as you come out of the barriers (heading towards Way Out and Shopping Centre), then it's just on the left, before Marks & Spencers... It's not outside the station at all - we can just meet outside there.

Really looking forward to seeing you all - will firm up with Buona Sera now.

Jam - no worries re not being able to make it. Hopefully another time!

Oops, I meant Costa is on the right, not left! Sorry sorry!!

(or it could be Cafe Nero - but it's the only coffee shop on the right next to M&S - I will stand outside it looking tubby from 12.20 onwards anyway to catch everyone if I can!)

Guys, thanks so much for coming along - really enjoyed meeting everyone and putting names to faces etc. Great fun!

Feeling enormous now after the profiteroles (that's the chocolate balls, kim!)

Good luck on Tuesday, ladyT - can't believe it's so soon - brought everything home a bit!

Anyway, lucky me being home so early - am about to settle down to read Heat mag now - then am going out for dinner to an Italian tonight - not very clever planning!

Take care all of you and thanks v much for coming along.

Beans thanks again for organising. Really lovely to meet you all. Sorry I had to dash off - had got to the end of toddler's patience. Am I missed the pudding. Slightly disastrous journey home as I totally forgot where I'd parked the car so walked round in circles for a bit with DS saying "Mummy can't find car" to everyone who walked past. And by the time I found it I had a ticket. D'oh. Am going to see if Wandsworth will take pity on my pregnant and useless state...

Maybe next time we'll meet up it will be with babies. Eek!

Yes, really nice to meet everyone too... Good luck next week ladyT! And Sorry to hear about your ticket and the trip home lal - your son is so cute and funny, and really well behaved! Was really nice to finally put faces to names adn also meeting a fellow Aussie Penny! Thanks for organizing beans and hope to meet up again!

Thanks so much for organising, Beans. It was really good to see everyone. Look forward to doing it again with babies (eek!)

Beans thanks so much for organizing the lunch today!! It was great getting to meet all of you! We'll definitely need to do it again sometime!!

lal so sorry to hear about your ticket. Hopefully they'll be nice and give you a break.
