I can do 1 or 14th.

And won't know about 7th or 8th till nearer the time.

MsMartini · 10/06/2017 20:15

Sorry, thought it hadn't worked!

msmargarita · 10/06/2017 20:23

I can do any except 14 July ... at the moment

I have towels we got given for wedding presents and sheets my parents passed on (not bought for me) when I went to university.

And yes, whoever said that, they never wear out. Whereas the Egyptian cotton sheets I got given as a wedding present wore out in the middle and I would have needed to employ that 'sides to middle' thing Anne of Green Gables and others without John Lewis used to do to make things last longer.

bigTillyMint · 10/06/2017 20:36

So 14th looking favourite so far, or poss 1st?

motherinferior · 10/06/2017 22:15

msmargarita · 11/06/2017 09:36

I'm good for 7th or 8th, so have amended accordingly.

Looking forward to awarding MrsK with a small bottle of my latest gin, after her fab suggestion a few weeks back.
Who knows? I may have tonic mixture too :)

Back from ashes scattering in Whitby: it was quite a happy occasion as DFr's DM would have been 91 today! I have never been to anything like this near water and can recommend. We sailed out to the bell buoy (so out of the harbour) and scattered ashes and flowers. It does mean that there is no focal point for grief, but probably best, and I am thinking I might do something similar - hopefully not too soon! It was also suggested that we have a MU in a year's time on the weekend nearest to celebrate.

I can't do the MU in July as we're away one way or another for most of it.

Where were we? Flipping those darn flat pancakes again
MsMartini · 11/06/2017 17:16

NU, that sounds like a lovely occasion...

Have done some teen date wrangling and I can probably do 7/8th too

I don't think we will ever get a date that will suit everyone, but 7th out in front! BD, Stropps, Hatty, Love, Rose, CV, MrsW, and all the new names that I can't remember off-hand, how about you?Grin

Stropperella · 11/06/2017 19:35

I can't do anything other than the 14th, I'm afraid.

hattymattie · 11/06/2017 20:38

Hi - July out for me I'm afraid - to much confusion with when and where DC's are at various times at the moment. Plus need a long run in for cheap Eurostar. Would love to see everybody and will be around more next year with DD1 in London.

Hugs to Crem xxx - will try to time it so we're both on the next meet up.

NU - I'm glad things went nicely for you today - it sounds beautifully thought out. We must get you to a meet up as well one of these days.

Rosenspants · 11/06/2017 22:57

I'm not at all sure re dates but always happy for majority roolz and if I can make it, I will.

Crem please come back soon. I'm sorry you're feeling so down xxx

NU am glad it went well and was fitting x

NoCureForLove · 11/06/2017 23:37

ATM can do 7th and 14th...
