EDINBURGH SUPPER CLUB

Hi everyone. I've provisionally booked Viva Mexico (which I'm told is the best Mexican in Edinburgh) at 41 Cockburn Street in the Old Town for 7.30 on Friday 25 July for 10 to 12 people. They can provide us wth a, wait for it, square round table.
It's booked provisionally because they need a deposit of Ł5 per head and I'm reluctant to pay this then find that some people don't turn up. There are a couple of possible new members this month. I need to know final numbers by 22nd at the latest.
I'll send out PMs tonight too when I've finished work.

p.s. everyone will be required to run up the steps from Market Street to Cockburn Street to compensate for the calories in Mexican food!

Regards
Pat aka Poppyc aka Petroushka

Re: EDINBURGH SUPPER CLUB

Hi Everyone

Pretty certain that I've PM'd all 'the usual suspects' tonight but if I've missed anyone out sorry. It's not intentional.

Anyone else who wants to join us please let me know and I'll add you to the list. Don't be shy about coming, one of us will meet you outside if you're worried about coming in alone first time.

Hi Elizabeth
I've been trying to call you to no avail. I've now sent you a private message. Excuse me if I'm trying to teach my grannie to suck eggs but you can pick up PMs by logging on then going to User Options. If there's a wee flag it means you have one.

I'll be out tomorrow and Wed evening but if you leave a message with a phone number I'll get back to you.
Best Regards

Re: EDINBURGH SUPPER CLUB

Unfortunately, I will be unable to come along now!

Got problems with Daughter who is in hospital until baby is born now (Sept 12). So boys are a bit mixed and tearful with being passed from pillar to post at moment and not knowing when they will see mummy and daddy next. We are having them Thursday am to Saturday pm.

Keep me informed when the next one is on.

Have a great night and hope to see you all soon.

Re: EDINBURGH SUPPER CLUB

Really sorry to hear your daughter's not well. That's a strain on you all, especially with so many weeks to go.

At least the September supper club should be within your reach! But hopefully before that. It's good they've got you to rely on...

Looking forward to seeing the other 6 of us on Friday.

Sorry to hear your daughter is having to spend the rest of her pregnancy in hospital - how stressful for you all. Let me know if you're in need of some light relief.

Sorry, too, we won't see you this time.

Re: EDINBURGH SUPPER CLUB

Hi
The Edinburgh Supper Club meets every month. There are about 10/12 of us and we basically just choose a restaurant(sp?) and meet for an evening meal. It's very informal, we each take turns to choose and arrange a place to eat. We are actually meeting tomorrow evening at Viva Mexico in Cockburn Street at 7.30. Bit late I know but if you fancy going sent me a private message. To do that login and go to user options and choose send a message. I'm usually on my computer all day (working I have to say) so will be able to pick it up and respond. Otherwise I'll let you know about the next one. WHatever you'll be made very welcome. Hope this isn't garbled. Tired.
Regards

Re: EDINBURGH SUPPER CLUB

Hi Jan

Glad you enjoyed the evening, it was lovely to meet you, I hope to get a chance to get a better chat on our next get together. The next ESC is planned for the 29th August (hopfully that will suit ) . The hunt for the round/square table is never ending, it is a bit like looking for the holy grail!!

Hope you go the train ok.

Re: EDINBURGH SUPPER CLUB

Thanks all for your kind words and thoughts.

On top of it all, took OH to railway station at 07:30 yesterday (Monday) to go to London for 2 days, then onto nursery to drop the boys off for 1st full day, then came home to shower and go to work after having a week off on carers leave.

Showered, hair dry, and was going to get dressed and stubbed my toe on the bed leg (wrought iron type frame), done it hundreds of times, thought no more about it, but 1.45 hours later still could not put ball of foot on floor. I ended up having a neighbour take me to A&E. I had not broken it but dislocated my little toe, so had to have gas and air whilst the doctor tried to put it back, then another x-ray, still not sorted so more gas and air and try again, this time doctor said she felt it go back, it was so excruciating. Advice RIPE (rest, ice, painkillers and elevate) for 48 hours!!

That all on top of having my daughter in hospital with SPD, new baby will have to be weaned off morphine when it is born. Step daughter in Cardiology with heart problems, having a pacemaker fitted, her father, my ex (who was the other carer with the boys [one at a time for him] we took him in at 10pm a week past Saturday, he ended up in same ward as step daughter, so we are having boys nearly full time.

I now have been offered a new job "script writing" for Holby City and Casualty!!

If anyone is up for a light lunch or afternoon tea on Saturday afternoon would love to catch up, if not maybe see you in August/September.

Well! These things certainly don't come in 3s as far as you're concerned Helen! You've had a few other famiies' share of misfortune for the month as well as your own.

Afternoon tea??? I'd have thought a bottle of gin was more appropriate.

Chin up.

Re: EDINBURGH SUPPER CLUB

thought I would put it on here just in case........

Mama Mia Saturday 2nd August 2008
Vue Cinema , Ocean Terminal Edinburgh
Screening time: 2.30 or 3.15

I would suggest that we go for the 2.30 showing, and we rendezvous at the foyer, or the Sky Bar ? around about 1.50- 2.00 pm – that gives us a chance to either have a drink/ coffee and let those of us who may be a bit later still have time to get there.

Please let me know if this suits

Hi Chris. Welcome. Our next supper club is the Friday after the 27 August. Can't remember who's organising it. We take turns. There was mention of going out of town for a change to South Queensferry to the Dakota. As soon as I know I'll let you know. It will no doubt be posted on this section of the forum.

Hi Chris,
Sorry about one of us not getting back to you sooner

! but there are quite a few on holiday at the moment...so less of us logging on.

Poppy and I seem to be the only ones who log on on anything like a regular basis!!!!

As Poppy says we are going out of Edinburgh 'cause of the Festival...(can't get booked!),so decided to go to South Queensferry.Zvictor1 was booking it...but we'll confirm nearer the time...if your still interested let us know so we can book you a seat!

Look forward to meeting you

Re: EDINBURGH SUPPER CLUB

I thought I was supposed to be booking it...... or at least that was the discussion at the last get together, but hey what ever !!! ...... Has anyone checked to see if Dorothy knows she is arranging it??????

Dorothy, I know you were not at the last meeting but if you are happy to do the arranging, please carry on, it is one less thing for me to thing about a the moment.

We had talked about the 29th August, probably at the usual time of 7.30 and there had been talk about Dakota, it is very nice but for the life of me I can’t think if they have round / square tables!! (You know what I mean). I had also looked at another restaurant near by which may or may not be easier for the masses to get to, but perhaps we can keep that for another occasion.
If you need a list of who you should pm, or if I can be of assistance, by the way there were two new girls last months Antg1 and Kakimac, and Chris has noted interest too – just drop me a line if you need the list
I hope you had a good holiday and a relaxing time of it. What was the weather like ?

Hope this finds everyone else well, those of you who have not seen Mama Mia yet should get along – it really is a feel good movie, though some of us that went on Saturday had a little sniffle, either that we were coming down with something!!!

Any way hope you are well and hope to see you at the end of the month.

Hi Christeen. I too thought you were booking it and the rest! I'll send out the revised book choice in the morning. Just back from a very long sucessful day in London (5.30am to 10pm) where it was hot, sticky and bad tempered - the rain's getting to everyone, everywhere. See you soon.

Help I,ve been on the wrong thread and didn,t know I was supposed to be booking it!! However I've been in contact with the suggested restaurant and they are fully booked for that night, however I have telephoned another fairly good restaurant in South Queensferrry who can at the moment accommodate us. Can the old members e-mail me if you are able to come on the 29th and I will book it ASAP, as soon as I know numbers, also could the neewbies PM me and I will let them have the details once I have sorted them out!!

Sorry for the delay, I really must pay more attention!!
