Morning Anne!

I think I am still on target to be there as well. Still not prepared to say so definitely "just in case"!

There was a special on one of the BBC channels last week re: Atkins. Supposedly, Benjys is trying to cater to the LC needs. Would be interesting see if they do (there is not a Benjys right near my work so I can't try it out before hand!)

Hope you are well and this Monday treats you in a fine fashion!


V.

Hi LittleAnne and everyone! Unfortunately cannot make it for the 6th as I'm returning from Spain on that day after my week's holiday. Hope everyone has fun and I look forward to seeing the pictures posted afterwards!!!

Well just one week to go till our London meeting. I happened to notice that in the Sweet Factory shop in Victoria Plaza, just by the escalators up to the Food Court, they are advertising sugar free sweets. There are quite a range, but did not stop to inspect them to make sure they are really low carb. Might be worth checking out though.

Thumbs up Saturday is nearly here

Well our get together is this Saturday and I hope to see as many of you as I can at Victoria Place.

For those of you who are not sure where Victoria Place is, here are the directions.

Enter Victoria Main Line Railway station and head towards platform 14. Go up the escalators and you will see Dorothy Perkins on the right. Continue walking, keeping to the right till you get to Boots. Then look left and see the escalators up to the food court.

I suggest we congregate at the tables around to the right of the escalator from 12 30 onwards. My train is due to arrive at 12 15. Then we can decide where we are going to eat and aim to do that at 1 pm. Does anyone have difficulty with that.

I've got free Splenda tablets for you all!!!!

I'll bring my Atkins book so that you can see who we are, just incase you do not recognise me or anyone else.
Remember your camera and also any before and after photos you would like to bring.

In Victoria Place there are a number of useful shops including Holland & Barrett, Sweet Factory with sugar free sweets, Boots. In the station itself is a Thornton's sweet cart which does do the diabetic chocolate, but this is slightly more expensive - must be a franchise.

Looking forward to meeting up with everyone, especially if you did not come in October. I'll look here early Saturday morning for any late messages, but will be coming straight from my aquafit class.

Hi All

Well looking forward to catching up with you all on Sat. Havent sorted out train times yet, as i will wait to see if Lindy is still coming, and wants to meet up at Euston. If not, I will travel into St Pancras, which ever, its no prob cos it both are direct on the Victoria line. I will ensure I get there as close to 12.30 as poss, as im gonna have to leave quite early, as im going out for a meal in Npton at 7.30 that night, and it takes me quite a long time to get the old 'slap' on, and look presentable ha ha

See you Sat

Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow Dolli. Are you coming down to London for the weekend? Great that you want to come.

PS - Who should read the earlier bits of this thread first!!!! So now I know you are doing a surprise to see your best friend. Was initially a bit confused as though bf stood for boy friend and that did not tie up with your first post in your journal! Oh, the power of words.

Little Anne - Anne
Nitwit - Lindy
LissaUK - Lisa
Sylvia UK - Sylvia
Tortie - Vanessa

Expect there may be one or two more who turn up on the off chance. Can we make it 10 of us or even more?

Im really really sorry but Im am going to have to duck out of tomorrow. Was really looking forward to meeting up with you, but just have had a phone call from my ex who is now unable to look after our daughter tomorrow due to unforseen work commitments. Suffice to say im not happy about the situation, but thats another story.......

I hope you all have a great time, and I promise I will be there at the next one.

Sorry

I read Dolli's bf as boyfriend and put Hatton Garden together to make 5 - boyfriend+jewellry stores=engagement. Now I'll have to rethink as it is best friend.

See you all tomorrow
