Hi Mags

I'm really sorry you can't make it on the 26th - it's not totally confirmed yet so keep an eye on the site in case the date changes.

Hope you have a great time at Beauty and the Beast.

Catch up with you soon.

Just looked up reviews for the Windrose - not great.
May have to be somewhere else eg The Point.
Anyone know where is good?

[Missy64]

Here we go again!

Hi Everyone

Let me know if this suits:

Date: Saturday 26th November
Time: 1pm
Place: Carrickfergus (ice-skating optional lol)
Venue: Windrose

[Missy64]

[Guest user]

Hi girls,

I hope everyones well,Caroyln I'm glad your tests were clear 🙂

I can't make next weekend(12th-13th), but could do the following Saturday 19th November or 26th, as I'm working on Fridays now until 4pm,or night times also suit. Carrick sounds good as there is a lot of eating places eg:The Windrose ,Papa Joe's, Brewers Fayre and if anyone else has any suggestions for down that direction or Belfast as its central, I'll keep an eye on the site for an update.

Hi ther
Just booked beauty and the beast showing in the opera house for myself and wee granddaughter so 19 November is now out for me as is 12 nov family do in Fermanagh.

[Guest user]

Hi Girls
Carolyn I'm so glad your results show stability, I was thinking about you all the way and hope your mood is a bit lighter now knowing your results. I can probably do any of the fridays or saturdays suggested for lunch but i can't ice skate for toffee so you wont catch me on the ice, I'd be a hazzard.... dont mind watching you though, you could show off your new skills Carolyn.

Will keep an eye on the site for any more updates. Hope to see you all soon

Carol xx

[Magda]

Well I can probably do anytime so I'm happy to tag along to wherever.

Hi Everyone

Not much feed-back regarding availability 😞

So I'm going to make some suggestions.

Lunchtime - Friday and Saturday the next 3 weekends starting Friday 11th (11/11 - 27/11). If some of you would prefer evenings please say. I'm easy and can usually do most days/evenings although Isy I'm afraid I couldn't do 13th as I'd be too busy with it being Remembrance Sunday.

Venue - I think Belfast works for most people. Other suggestions welcome.

One suggestion from me would be meeting up at Carrickfergus, having a little skate on the ice rink (you know you'd love to!) and then on somewhere for lunch - there are plenty of places to choose from in Carrick.

Jennifer if the venue is outside of Belfast eg Carrick, I'm sure we could arrange to pick you up on the way.

Hope to hear from you all soon.

Lunch in Belfast suits me most days.

[Lilac]

Hi all!

Carolyn - so glad to hear everything's stable!

I'll be in Bangor on Sunday 13 Nov as I'll have artwork in an exhibition there, so I could do lunch or dinner in Belfast. But open to other suggestions too. Next weekend not so good for me.

[Magda]

Carolyn So glad to hear your scans came back positive:) fingers, toes and all crossed for the ct scan too.
I'm available whenever as I've such a busy social life- not!
I have a ct and MRI on 25/28 nov so before that would be good.
Hope you are all well and looking forward to seeing you all again.

Hi All

Right! It's time to get the next meet-up arranged or before we know it we'll be into 2012!

What we need to know is everyone's preferences -

Lunchtimes or Evenings?
Dates available from 3 November?
Where in the world? (sorry but that one has to be narrowed down to the land mass we are already on)

Quick update on my recent scan results (from August scan!!!). Once again everything is stable 🙂 I will be having a CT scan of my brain next month but I'm not particularly worried about that as it has come about from my mentioning, at my review appointment, a few headaches I had a while back. Whether there is anything between my ears though may be debatable?

So I'm looking forward to all your replies and we shall see what the common denominator is.

Hope everyone is keeping well.

Take care

Carolyn x

[Magda]

I can probably make most times

[Guest user]

Lunchtimes Monday-Friday are best for me, Lilac.

By the way, was anyone at the UCF lunch in the Europa today?

[Lilac]

Any thoughts on our next meet-up? I fancy a wee trip to Belfast some time soon - when suits everybody?
Isy x

[Lilac]

Thanks to everyone who came to the exhibition opening last night. It was great to see you all and have your support!

[Guest user]

[Magda]

Hi all looks like I am going to have to bring my partner along as driver as I'm really whatever after the r/ therapy especially at night. I'm ok going up on my own but I know the drive back would be too much for me.
Mags

[Guest user]

Hi Girls,

Isy I'm looking forward to friday night and count me in for dinner at Molly's, oh! how far is Ballymoney from Belfast?, just need to no so I can give Carolyn a pick up time .

Mags, Im so glad for you that there is no progression , great news, hope to see you on fri night.

Carolyn, sorry to here your feeling low at the moment you should have give me a wee text and we could have met up in between , I'm only down the road, any excuse for a natter.

Hi to all the rest of you Bosom Buddies , hopefully see u on Fri night.

Julie xx

[Lilac]

Thanks Magda - he's decided to go by train in the end but thanks for the offer.

Carolyn - Sorry to hear you've been feeling low. We will do our best to cheer you. If not, at least you can offload on us - that's what bosom buddies are for!

Will book a table for 7pm at Molly's.

[Missy64]

Hi Buddies

I'm really looking forward to Friday night. I've been really down this last week or so, just can't pull myself back up again - so I'll be relying on you all to get me back on form.

Going for a bite to eat before the exhibition on Friday is a really good idea. Would be great if you could book that for us Isy.

Magda, I'm so pleased there is no progression. I'm due ct results in a couple of weeks and I'm dreading it - probably the reason why I'm so down, but fingers crossed.

Will check in before Friday.

Carolyn xx

[Magda]

Isabel, I can if nobody else offers:)

[Lilac]

Hi all
Looking forward to seeing everyone who can make it to the Exhibition Opening this Friday night, 8 pm. There's a car park (Town Head car park) just beside the town hall, and a restaurant within walking distance on the main street (Molly's) if you want to meet for tea beforehand. Let me know what you want to do - I can book a table for you.
By the way, I have an artist friend coming by train from Bangor - was wondering if anyone could offer him a lift from Belfast?
Thanks!

Isy x

[Magda]

Hi girls I had a lovely time sat .it's so good to chat and feel free to say what you really want not what others want to hear. Looking forward to the next one in Oct.
Well Issy Sunday was good and I went commando - well scarf less 🙂 much of the time was spent talking to us as opposed to actually doing so no manicure 😞 still It was a nice event and thank you once again lots of helpful hints and tips picked up.
Carolyn
The rads team were so nice to me on Monday actually they were totally understanding and the good news is......
No progression and all looking good so I can chill out and hopefully start get some decent nights sleep 🙂 pop! That was sound of the champers being opened that I'm going to drink tonight!!!!

[Missy64]

Hi Everyone

I had a lovely time with you all on Saturday, it was great so many of us were able to meet-up and fantastic to have two more members.

So the next time we see each other again will hopefully be at Isy's Art Exhibition - really looking forward to that on 7th October.

Magda - hope you get on ok at radiotherapy today, after missing Friday's session and I noticed on one of the other threads you're taking a note from your mummy. Hope they don't think you wrote it yourself and forged her signature! lol

Again, thank you all for your great company.

Take care.

Julie xx

[Magda]

The 24th, ten square is good for me too , looking forward to meeting y,all.

[Missy64]

Hi Tracy

Welcome to our wee thread.

The next meet-up on 24 September is in Belfast and in the past we've met up in Belfast, Lisburn, Antrim and Galgorm and we are willing to travel. Usually we try to suit as many people as possible.

If it was possible for you to join us on the 24th that would be great but if not I'm sure we could arrange something closer to you next time.

Carolyn xx

[Guest user]

hi...im in northern ireland..where abouts do you meet up im in londonderry-ish

[Missy64]

Hi Everyone

Just bumping this up in case some people have missed it.

May I suggest we go for lunch at Ten Square as we can book a table in the Grill Room. I'm not sure where else tables can be booked but with it being a Saturday we may have to wait a while at other places.

If you agree please confirm your attendance and we can then book a table for about 1pm if everyone's ok with that.

WOULD LOVE TO SEE SOME NEW FACES 🙂

Will be back soon!

Carolyn xx

[Lilac]
