Hehe! I know!
@callyanna do you remember Aunty Mary andher canary? A rude song we sang as kids..don't think @PennyForthem knows it,or she is pretending she doesnt! Hehe!
Penny,just thought,was it Cripps where yr AM shopped? X
There was also Nanette's i think..

Of Course I remember Auntie Mary had a canary up the leg of her drawers but I am too well bred to refer to it on here!

Me too- and whilst we might have sung it behind her back, we would never, on pain of death, sing it in her company. In fact, we were too scared to do anything, except breathe, in her company. And yes, Cripps it was!

Ooh ..Penny...sounds like my Nan..a right old battleaxe..we were her wee slavies..had to shop,wash her feet,do her brass,fetch and carry...even eat up all her old stale leftovers..
A cosy twinkly Gran she was NOT!

Just a week and a day to go, ladies

Forecast is sunshine/showers and not too cold (but that's the BBC, so take it all with a wee pinch of salt! Could be gales and snow!)

Looking forward to seeing you all xx

Me too dear chums! X

Fingers crossed that the trains are running!

Eight more sleeps! x Looking forward to it!

Good morning ladies,

Just an update for you all. Hubs and I had been planning a day in Liverpool for some time so next weeks meet up fits in nicely but I shall just do the coffee and chatter and then leave you all to lunch and shopping, hope this is O.K. with everyone else but I don't think it is fair to plan a day out with him and then dump him on his own in a strange city. It was almost cancelled for us as his BP has shot up to quite dangerous levels and he has not been feeling well. He is on an aggressive drug regime to control his BP so it has been a little bit worrying, hence I've not contributed to this thread as uncertain whether we'd make it or not. Anyway, we will be there, his mother has been told so that rather sets it in stone and all I need now is a place and time for coffee.

Looking forward to meeting everyone,

Ballerina x

Totally understand that @Ballerina tho you'll be missed by us all at the meal x
Personally i think it's a good idea as it means we all get to say hi before we stroll over to sit down and eat at BF
I suggest maybe John Lewis for coffee as its virtually next door and easily findable?
Maybe the bigger restaurant up on the fifth floor for coffee as more room up there to sit together than in the little first floor bistro..some bigger tables in there i think,to the right as you walk in..

Aware some folk may not be able to make it earlier coz of trains and stuff.I can 't meet til twelve as a few hours out in company is very tiring for me,but hopefully some folk can make it earlier?

What do folk think about JLvenue? There's a place called Hub and another called The Social..just opposite Bistro Franc..and a place called Browns just round the corner..we could go to one of these also, but depends what peeps want x
Hope yr Hubz is ok B x

We all have our JL cards!
I can make it a bit earlier.
An alternative could be for Ballerina to join us for coffee in the bistro after the meal say 2ish-which might make it easier for you@CandiceMarie?

I could make JL from around 11.15 or as Merlin says Ballerina could join us after the meal?

Have a lovely meet up

Thanks Merlin x thats thoughtful of you x
But I' m happy to do whichever is better for B & hub and everyone else
Whichever way it works out i am ok from 12 to 2.30 ish..
NB...don't forget,our bistro franc table is only available til 2.45 xx

Sorry to hear that @ballerina, but at least we get to meet you and you get a nice day with your hubs.
I'm happy to go earlier or later, as I can drive to a Merseyrail station and there are frequent trains. I think pups will be Ok to be left, as long as she's been fed and well run!
I was bemoaning to myself that my JL card hadn't arrived, but I've just found the envelope in a pile of 'junk mail' collected by hubs! Phew!
Anyway, let me know when/where and I'll be there!
