Crepeys Not Crêpes

[Cremolafoam]

Oi over here hags

It is a faintly absurd place, but just the ticket for bracing walks, flying kites, and hearty pub food. It will be my birthday while we're there, so am angling for a slap-up banquet, inc champers.

I love Norfolk you lucky thing! Only place better to my mind is Suffolk... And am quite keen on Islington too...
Am tempted but terrified by idea of meet up... am convinced none of you are in the least bit crepey at all (whereas I really really am) and that you all know each other rather well and I know no one...

OQ I truely am crepey, and I don't know anyone irl as I have failed to make every meet up so far.... :)
Where's Dukes btw??

Come on Queenie and BD - you HAVE to come!

I am definitely crepey. Two of my little loves were chatting the other day about my age. One said I was 28. The other said how can that be? People don't have all those wrinkles at 28 And then yesterday when I said I wasn't very good at remembering everything, same little (ASD) love said that people who are 50 are like that!

Oh I'd love to come, but away from my diary at the moment so can't work put which weekend works for me....my iPhone calendar keeps cleansing itself, which is super unhelpful.... OQ, did the 'phone in rice' trick work?

I'll check large family calendar tonight and let you know....

I'm happy to do a Saturday lunchtime in town also, then we could go S&B shopping too

Oooh, maybe we could do an all-dayer

liking the sound of the lunch in town.... would be up for that!
thanks for kind enquiry about phone... as we speak it has just been plugged in.. currently showing no signs of life...

I love Norfuck and want to live there, near the sea, in a tumbledown house, yelling "git orf moi laaaaand" at anyone who comes within spitting distance.

I cannot commit to dates until I know when this bloody exam is - they will let me know two weeks in advance, which means no cheap Eurostar ticket. The irony of travelling from Paris to London to sit an exam in French is not lost on me...

I have broken a tooth and am cross, because I think it will need a crown, which will be Expensive. It is the last of my childhood fillings to go, and I had it done when I was 13. The dentist warned me at the time that the tooth might not last long as it was more filling than tooth.

I have set up an Old Boilers' Lunch Club at work. Due to the extreme yoof of those I work with, there are only three of us in the club. But we have a bottle of wine and a good moan.

Oh if we meet up in November, my Groucho Friend will be back from his gallivanting by then, so I cannot guarantee what state I will be in when we meet up. Although we have agreed that our past performances were Excessive For A School Night and Should Not Be Repeated. But neither of us are very good at moderation.

Any more offers on which weekend/which night/afternoon?

MrsS I am amazed that you can remember which fillings you had done when - my mouth has so much metal in it....

Am liking the sound of an Old Boilers' Lunch Club, especially the Lunch part as I do not get a lunch break

I don't have that many, BTM, and the other three have been replaced in the past 10 years. It's just this one that's been hanging on in all its sparkly amalgam glory.

BD and OQ - if it will make you feel better, at the first Crepeys' meet up I went to, several of them greeted me with "Oh we thought you were going to be really old!" As opposed to just "old", clearly.

Oh yes, this will amuse you - crepey friend of mine here has just started internet dating. Her latest squeeze took her away for a long weekend to a cottage in the country. She commented that "it seemed a nice place, but I only really got to see the bedroom ceiling..."

No, as opposed to just crepey like us!

Oh to have a weekend that didn't involve ferrying the DC about non-stop

Oh yes, I'm with you there! Friday night, pick up from school or soccer pitch post game, with two strange girls that we are putting up. Saturday morning, schlep all three to game. Watch game, bring DD1 home, "roomies" go back to school for lunch. Poke lunch down DD1, pick up cello, schlep to lesson. Sunday is riding lesson and possible sleepover for DD2...

Why can't they have local friends???

I have Friday off and going to London to meet college friends, then home to folks. Due to engineering works on a Saturday (!) which would have meant a five hour return trip with three changes (one of which was a bus) I am staying down south til Sunday hence leaving Dp to cope with double piano lesson et al
I think either weekend is fine at the moment!
I'd love a lunch club, my lunch involves stuffing a mouthful of salad down me with one hand whilst typing with the other.

x your fingers ladies for my phone... now sent off to deepest essex for "water recovery service"... the rice did nothing for it at all.... dead as a doornail.

oq, good luck!

I would love a weekend away lying in bed all weekend in a fab cottage. Albeit I would probably be having a nap, and/or reading a gory thriller....

MI - why don't you come out to Paris on your own for a weekend and we can eat lots drink lots take in some culture, a restaurant or too and perhaps a small glass of wine?

Too? TWO?

I appear to have broken YouTube with my incessant watching of Gangnam Style performed by the US Navy.

Or should that be (o)(o) for Page 3?
