After reading through the secondary forum recently, we all seem to be suffering in one way or another. Wish we could ‘apparate’ Harry Potter style as then it would be really easy to meet up!!!
Anyway, just wondering before the school holidays start in summer, if anyone wants and is well enough to meet up in the London, southern England - hampshire, surrey, dorset, west sussex area?
We had a higher turn out in Guildford than London but that might have been because of illness rather than location.
Anybody upto it physically and mentally?

ps - can’t get amazon to work this morning. Do you think we have caused the site to crash!!!
Hi Kate,
I am up for it …last three weeks in June are looking good.
Amazon - you made me laugh!
Cathy
Sounds good to me as well - was thinking the other day that should do something about another “meet”. However now I am back at work it is a bit harder - am on a term time only contract so can’t really have time off except in the school holidays. So if it could possibly be a Thursday (my day off) that would be great.
Happy to organise again if you want to make it the Guildford area but also very happy to travel somewhere else!
What canyou have done to Amazon, Kate?!

Hi All
Would like to make next meet, London probably best for me, as then dont have to drive, worry about traffic, etc etc. But see wot responses are though and will try to fit in. My herceptin is every 3 weeks (next on on 27th May - Tuesday) so if we can avoid the dates thereafter that it falls on would be good - LOL.
Essex would be FAB - ROFL - but yeah I know not easy to travel/commute to.
I ordered my stuff on Amazon last night and was all OK, you lot must have been blocking it big time.
Take care
Love
Dawn

Cheeky cow I know - reading that back.
Hello you lovely ladies,
Yes, I’m feeling the need for another meet already. I think now i know some of you a bit better, there’s even more i want to discuss with you.
I’m on hols from 20th June for 10 days. Quite busy before that, odd days free, but def free once into July. But I’ve been at two recent meets, so if you need a date that suits others, that’s only fair.
Love Jacquie x
Oh yes, meant to say I’m meeting up with Beli (Wrighty) as we both live in practically the same place, the week after half term. That’ll be great, and very easy,

I was so disappointed to miss the recent meets. Please count me in for the next one although starting chemo soon and don’t have my dates yet, so no guarantees for me again, sorry. Keeping my fingers crossed though!
How about 12th or 19th June? London? Guildford? Any other ideas?
Did manage to get onto amazon after 9am so wondered if they were doing something to their server. Ended up buying the journal Dear Sister - from me to you and a pair of earrings!!!
I thought I’d probably covered things for my children so decided not to buy the Dear mum book but was stuck what to do for my sister so this might help and if I feel I’ve missed things out then I can adapt what I’ve done instead of buying and filling out another 3 things for the children.
Kate
some of you know my place and the picnics that happen there - so if you want to use it as the venue you would be welcome. I am 7m south of J6/M25?
dawn
I can make 19th June - London, Essex or even (at a push) Guildford and/or Dawnhc’s garden, if I can combine that with a visit to the south coast to visit the grandchildren.

Hi
would love to meet up again. I can do 19th June or early July. Am going over to N Ireland for a week to see family - have a cottage booked near the Giant’s Causeway so looking forward to rest and time with the family. I should start capcetibane when I get back. Hope everyone else has a good week
Best Wishes Kathryn
Hi all
I can also do 19th June (or July 10th, July 24th and then into school hols so can manage most days though am hoping to get away with the family for a week). Thanks Dawn for your suggestion of meeting at your place - would give us the chance to “mingle” a bit better than seated around at a pub. Also seen pics of Dawn’s garden on another site and looks absolutely fantastic. What do others think?
Enjoy your week in Ireland, Kathryn - have always wanted to see the Giant’s Causeway myself. Must add it to my “to do” list. Sounds just what you need before starting chemo again.
Love to all

if i came i would have to fly to southampton this timne and travel as the walk from gatwick airpoor thrugh to the plane nearly did me in , it was horrid.just such a long haul , at least if i flew to southampton its straight to plane .
actually from the train ride to gatwick was a pig too as it was so pac ked and i had to stand some f the way and my feet killed !
Shall we go for 19th June then at Dawn’s as it is easier to mingle and have a more private discussion than in the middle of a cafe? If Dawn is happy to have us
Tracy1964 - have you got my PM?
Kate
Have put June 19th at Dawn’s in my diary - thanks again Dawn (trust the 19th is ok with you??!).
Hope it is a suitable date for lots of us!!!
Kay xx
I am very happy to have it on the 19th June. May I suggest that when you post here that you hope to come, I will pm you my email so that you can contact me for any details you need. If the weather is fine we will be outdoors - and we have a fairly large marquee. We need to make decisions about food (essential LOL). You can either bring your own picnic, or bring food to share, or I can go shopping and you can contribute financially towards the cost. If you are members of bcpals then you can get the details there as well as see photographs of the venue. Can someone order the sunshine please :). Not a problem though if we need to be indoors.
dawn
Oh thanks Dawn for offering your place - I won’t double book myself this time!!!
I don’t mind either bringing food to share or putting in financial contribution. See what the majority want to do about food.
The weather - oh I wish it were that simple. I’d order sunshine in the day and rain at night to keep the plants and me happy!!
Kate
hi thanks kate, been looking at flights and the cheapest i can see is 100 rtn to shampton. so will look in to another airline xx
