Meet Up Wickford, Essex or nearby

hello nannyplenty. I'm new to gransnet, and will be moving to Wickford so happy to have a coffee sometime? Live near Mayflower shopping estate, cant drive (I know but this old dog cant learn new tricks...) and have a sick husband and waiting for a knee op but lively in mind and community orientated ....

Hi. I would love to meet up. I live on the Wick Meadows estate, and I drive so I am happy to go to the Mayflower.
I am free most days and could probably meet when it's convenient for everyone else.

Is there any news on the Wickford meetup?

Perhaps we could arrange to meet up early next month. I don't know how to set a meeting up but if we all give a few dates each hopefully we can all agree on a suitable day. I am new to this and don't have a clue how it works but as there are now four of us hopefully one of us knows what to do. I will start the ball rolling, so I can do 5th, 7th, 10th or 11th October. Hope to hear from you soon

CrazyP.. , I am the editor for the Essex local pages and am just bumping this to keep it on the "Active" page.

Can you suggest a place to meet as well as a date? I will then try to spread the word. (when the local forums are sorted out!!)

Pittcity. I thought I sent a message this morning but it seems to have disappeared. I don't normally post so if you are reading this a second time I apologise. As Peaches doesn't drive but can get to the Mayflower Retail Park it seems best that that's where we meet. How about Tesco's at around 11am on either Thursday 5 or Friday 6 October. We could have a coffee in their cafe. I am going to click on post, so fingers crossed it works this time

Hi both, my husband is in hospital Thurs. I'm waiting for a knee operation so Friday at Mayflower would be brilliant (if I could cadge a lift I live 3 minutes away in Gardiners close near the fords social club) or you could come to me, I cant drive either

Peaches. Happy to pick you up on the Friday at approx 10.45. let me know your house number. You can't miss me. I drive a bright yellow car!!!

I have received this message from peaches50:
"dear ladies, hope you had a great time Friday and my abject apologies for the no show! My beloved husband started gene therapy - 1st in the uk - for his lung cancer and we've had gruelling !2 hour days of tests and mris etc. They knocked out his immune system and I developed a horrible cold which is a real threat to him as he is so fragile - we had to rush back to the dr for a jab for me and more meds for him, sitting at thome now both feeling evey sorry for oursleves! Please let me know of any other meetings - Im waiting for a knee replacement myself but you are welcome to come to me as soon as my cold goes! "

I have her phone number if any local ladies would like to get in touch.
