Hi Griz, I don't suppose you'd be available this afternoon would you? My delivery has come early so I've now got the afternoon free. I may have to stay in for an AC service tomorrow now. Such a pain having to stay in for stuff when you want to be out making friends :lol: Sheelagh

Hi Sheelagh Wednesday would be great! Would sometime in the afternoon be convenient- say 2:30pm? We could meet at Cafe Nero which is on the ground floor of the mall? I'd say that there were a dozen or so there today. Griz Hello Ladies!! May I join you for a coffee? Beth

Hi Sheelagh I attended the EW coffee morning today and it was lovely to meet other ladies in a similar situation. I too have recently moved to Dubai and am in my early 50's with kids a similar age to yours who are also back in the UK. It would be lovely to meet up with you for a coffee. I live in the Marina but don't have a car so if you don't mind driving to the Marina Mall perhaps we could meet there? Griz

Hi Ladies, My name's Sheelagh and I have just moved here. I'm early 50's with kids in their 20's back in the UK. Unfortunately I missed out on today's coffee morning as I was waiting in for a furniture delivery. Like the rest of you I'm looking for new friends too - any age, children I don't mind. I won't be working. I live in the Meadows and have a car although I must admit I'm finding the driving a bit scary haha! Anyway, it would be lovely to meet up with any of you!;)

Hi CurlyLocks, I'm sorry we missed getting together today. I hope we can make another plan to meet up soon. Beth Hi Beth, I'm sorry. I logged into here last night at around 7p.m, but didn't see a message from you. It seems like we only just missed each other! ? Again, short notice from my side, but I'm up for meeting up tomorrow for a coffee in Dubai Marina Mall at around 11a.m., if that works for you? If not, please feel free to let me know when you might be free. Thanks. :) Perfect!! See you at the mall at 11 a.m.. Shall we meet at Cafe Nero? Beth Hi Beth, Our Internet stopped working yesterday and has only just got going again! Sorryfor the late reply! I will be there as soon as possible! I've not decided yet, but I will probably wear a long orange dress with a white cardigan (could I look any less inconspicuous! ). Also, although I am English, I am of Indian heritage, so hopefully you have enough details to spot me. See you at Cafe Nero! P.S. I haven't got round to getting a phone contract yet, so I don't have any data to check messages. I'll probably be at home for the next half hour or so, so please feel free to message me with any details up until then! Thank you. ?

Sorry to hear that, Wendy. Totally booked on Monday :( We will meet up when you get back from your trip. Hello curly. Would love to meet up with you. Let's make a plan and see if anyone else would like to join us. :) Hi Beth, Thank you for your message. That sounds great! I'm off work over Eid. I'd be okay to meet this weekend, but with it being Eid, I completely understand if it isn't a convenient time. Feel free to let me know when might be good for you. Take care and have a lovely Eid break! Thank you. Hello CurlyLocks. Are you free to meet up on Friday or Saturday morning? Anywhere in the Marina/JBR area. Still without license. Hi Beth, That sounds great! Friday morning is good for me! ? I'm not familiar with JBR, but would be good for me to venture out and meet you there, if that also works for you? Cheers! Hi CurlyLocks!! Sorry for the late message. Do you still want to meet tomorrow? If so, let me know. It might be better to meet at the Marina Mall, as I'm not sure where to meet in JBR.

Hi Wendy. Does 10am on Wednesday at the Marina Mall work for you? I don't have my license yet so I can just walk over. And, please, if anyone wants to join us, just let us know. The more the merrier!! Beth :biggrin: Hi Beth (and everyone else too!), This sounds great! I would really love to meet up and have been hoping to arrange a meet up for a while, but it seems that weekday mornings seem to be the preferred meet up times. Unfortunately, I'm at work during the week, ,but could do evenings and weekends. I don't know if anyone would want to meet up at those sorts of times, but if it does work for you and you would like to meet a Yorkshire lass over a cup of tea, feel free to give me a shout! Thank you. Curly.
