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.

Tilly, we are not sophisticated enough to attend soirées! ?

Marydoll surely you mean a swally or is swallae the posh version?

Marydoll Sun 27-Feb-22 20:11:53

Espee, swallae puts the emphasis on the ending. That how we posh people speak, when trying to speak in pure Glaswegian. I thought you would have no need to ask, as I thought you were a member of the upper echelons of Glaswegian society. Then again, we are a very exclusive and select group of ladies.

I hope this clarifies matters for you. wink

Just bumping this, as it's two weeks on Tuesday, until we meet!
Everyone is welcome, even if you haven't yet indicated yet, that you are interested.

Two weeks to go. I’ve packed my Covid test already to make sure I don’t forget it. smile

Unless of course, you are exempt.

I am exempt, but I will still be wearing one!! Vulnerable people are now being offered a fourth booster, what does that tell you? We are not out of the woods yet.

Hopefully I will see you all on Tuesday.

Marydoll Wed 09-Mar-22 17:14:49

May I suggest that if wearing a skirt, you weigh down the hem. There is gae cauld wind, blowing up Buchananan Street!
The other day at my sons's wedding I nearly took off like Mary Poppins, as I stood at the top of the church steps.
Thank goodness I had decided to wear knickers, which even matched my shoes and hat!!! wink

Only Weegies will understand this. A Glasow woman crocheted this to cover the traffic cone, which usually sits on the Duke of Wellingron's head.

Marydoll Thu 10-Mar-22 08:03:35

As we are getting close to our play date, we need to confirm, who is coming, so that we can reserve cover seats with coats and bags.

I will start the list with my name. I have managed to get the dealership to collect my car for its MOT, so plan to come.

If you could please add your name under mine in a list, then the next person copies, adds their name and reposts the updated list, we should be good to go.....or maybe not!
