I'm going to be at DD's house near Glasgow 14-23 March and wondered if anyone fancied meeting up then. I've never been to a meet up in Glasgow so maybe if anyone has and knows a good venue they could say where would be good.

My grandma would have said, “In one swell foop “ to coin her phrase. ?

Home again after a lovely catch up with the Glasgow Grans. It was so nice to meet you all and put faces to names. Thank you Bridie and Marydoll for organising this.

TopsyIrene06 Tue 15-Mar-22 16:38:41

Great to see you all. Here's to the next time.

Marydoll Tue 15-Mar-22 17:05:17

What a splendid afternoon. DH thought I had gone AWOL, I have been out so long.
I had to check, my train ticket was still valid!! # numptyontour!.

Baubles, I'm so sorry!! ? My excuse, RA brain fog.
Thank you all for the great company!

Marydoll Tue 15-Mar-22 17:05:48

Hopefully another one in the summer!

So lovely to meet everyone today we had such a good time and great company
Hope to meet up again soon!

baubles Tue 15-Mar-22 18:12:46

I’m still on the train after faffing about in M&S for too long.

Thanks everyone for a smashing afternoon.

You’re forgiven Marydoll. ?

Marydoll Tue 15-Mar-22 19:14:38

Baubles or whoever you are tonight, did you get any bargains in Marks?
Lots of reductions, but I realised I did not need anything, apart from the leggings Kalu found at the bottom of the bag, with the cakes! blush
I know you won't believe me, but I put things back.
PS Mr MD was delighted with his tart! ?

bridie54 Tue 15-Mar-22 19:53:32

Another ? for our meet up today. Great to meet so many of you though I didn’t get to speak to everyone.
And I’d echo the call for another get together in summer.

Marydoll Tue 15-Mar-22 19:58:47

bridie, it was lovely to meet you too. I had decided your name must be Bridget, until I found out where you lived. grin

It was also so nice to meet Jenny Agutter. Who would have guessed she was a member of GN! wink

What a fabulous day meeting up with all of you.

I arrived home an hour ago. Taking advantage of being in town, I popped into a few shops in Buchanan St. and had to be reminded in Frasers they were closing in 10 mins! Phew. Happy with my purchases though.

So nice to meet up with you Ms Agutter. ?

Oh, yes….those sexy leggings I found in your bag Marydoll and….you took a tart home for Mr.MD!! Mr K was happy with two bags of the little chocolate Easter eggs kindly donated.

See you in Waitrose Baubles.

Hopefully another meet up in summer. ?

Marydoll Tue 15-Mar-22 20:13:34

Thanks Topsy for the eggs. I'm afraid I won't be sharing mine, I'm a selfish wee besom, when it comes to chocolate. wink

I will be at Waitrose too, but I may not recognise you, Baubles! ?

weenanni59 Tue 15-Mar-22 20:18:21

Lovely to meet you all today. Sorry I had to leave early… I should have stayed because my bus was cancelled ?
Looking forward to the next one ??
Thanks v much to the organisers ?

brook2704 Tue 15-Mar-22 20:21:36

? Jenny indeed ! That’ll have to be my new user name ..
I’m still on the train somewhere north of Pitlochry … DH is lined up to meet me at the station, dread to think what he’s been up to all day but he’s probably enjoyed the empty a bit too much ..

brook2704 Tue 15-Mar-22 20:24:13

Ooh yes thanks so much for the mini eggs Topsy I munched them earlier somewhere near Perth ?

baubles Tue 15-Mar-22 20:24:18

Marydoll, it was a right faff trying to return a cardigan I’d bought on line. I’d checked before I left home and apparently all I had to do was log into my account and show the returns barcode. Hah! The blessed barcode refused to show itself in the shop, a manager had to be summoned and persuaded that no, I couldn’t come back another time, and that they must have the technology to refund me. After some time they discovered that this was indeed the case and I got my refund. Sadly I couldn’t find anything to buy instead. When did Marks start selling Hobbs, Phase Eight and Seasalt? I thought I’d wandered into John Lewis by mistake.

For a woman who doesn’t like shopping Kalu, you seem to have done well today. ?. I look forward to a Waitrose date.

Thanks again to Bridie for suggesting today’s meet up.

Marydoll Tue 15-Mar-22 20:29:42

Baubles, I thought the same thing, when I saw all the lovely stuff.
A dress which I did not need caught my eye. It was reduced to £109, I put it back!!!

I did find the missing bus pass, but sadly not the earring. Those face masks are a curse!!!

baubles Tue 15-Mar-22 20:43:50

What a shame about your earring.

Kalu Tue 15-Mar-22 21:04:23

Thank you from DH and myself for the mini eggs Topsy. All gone. ?

I was only in two shops Baubles and couldn’t resist a couple of great bargains. You should have come shopping with me?

Buggeration to lose an earring Marydoll?
Thank you though to you and Bridie for arranging today. ??

Grammaretto Tue 15-Mar-22 21:38:52

It was really lovely to see you all. I had good speaks to most of you but not enough with others.
There are a couple of photos on my camera but I'll not go public with them until I have sent them to Marydoll for inspection grin I think Espee took the photos to avoid being in them.smile
I began to write this several hours ago.shock

Grammaretto Tue 15-Mar-22 21:40:21

Thanks Topsy for the eggs.
And happy birthday Stilllearning

Grannmarie Tue 15-Mar-22 23:00:27

Thank you Topsy for the eggs, very kind!
Shame about your earring Marydoll.

Esspee Wed 16-Mar-22 00:43:19

It was lovely meeting you all today, so glad Marydoll put me right or I would have been turning up tomorrow. ?
My OH enjoyed the eggs Topsy and sends his thanks. Looking forward to meeting you all again in the summer.

baubles Wed 16-Mar-22 11:21:18

Topsy, I’ve just taken the little bag of eggs from my bag and realised the significance of the ribbons. Thank you. ??

Stilllearning Wed 16-Mar-22 22:47:22

Probably too late to add this, but thanks to everyone for yesterday. I have been busy today and just remembered the eggs which you so kindly brought. Topsy. The coloured ribbons are a lovely thoughtful touch and I’m going to share them tomorrow at lunch with some retired colleagues.
I would love to meet again in the summer, you were all smashing!
