Hi J
Not going anywhere at the end of July/beg of August, so available for cupcakes any time around then, and looking forward to seeing you and the other "cupcake girls" again soon.
Lots of love, M x
Hi
I'm away the first week in Aug and I'm at the hospital on Wed 29th July.
Thanks
Sue
Hi Joan,
Whoo hoo! I finally got approved! Who knew BCC had such tight security??
Anytime fine for me, apart from 28th and 30th July.
Looking forward to seeing everyone again soon.
Kathryn xx
Okay so.... who is free the week commencing Monday 10 August for cupcakes?
xxxx
I am.
Sue x
I'm seeing oncologist on Tuesday 11th August, but any other day would suit me. If Tuesday's best for others, don't worry. Finding a day to suit everyone is so tricky xx
OK any day that week -- look forward to seeing everyone!

I'm really sorry I haven't been keeping up to date with this Cupcake meet up..... Things are a little hectic at the mo. Hubby's been made redundant so we're frantically trying to sort all that out!!
How is Wednesday 12 August for everyone? We can decide on a time at a later date?
Gotta go now - I've got an interview at a temping agency this afternoon!!

The 12th of August is great - thanks for organising this, and hope you get this job and that your husband finds something soon as well.
Marilyn x
Bumping this back up to the top!!!
Meeting up on Wednesday 12 August (that's next Wednesday ladies!!!)
Where is good for everyone to meet?

Hi ladies,
Was just wondering if this meet up was for anyone to join as i live in the manchester area if it was central manchester i would love to come along and i love cup cakes lol
Kay
Hi Kay -- we're a group of women with advanced/secondary bc (I have bone & liver mets) -- if you have secondary bc you'd be most welcome to join us!
Marilyn x
Oh i do apologise i thought it was just a general manchester meet up, i hope you all have a lovely time
kay
Hi Lucyloo!!
This meet up is for secondaries.... but I'd be more than happy to meet up with you for a coffee on another day? I'm always keen to meet other people in our situation!!
Feel free to private message me and we'll arrange something

Hi all -- so sorry that we won't be meeting up on the 12th of August, as so many of us can't make it. Look forward to seeing all the "cupcake girls" as soon as we can find another date.
Marilyn x
hi Ladies,
I've heard about your group and would love to join you when you next meet up please?!I have bone mets and peritoneum secondaries and would love to meet others I could relate to with this.. please keep me posted !!!!!! Mandy xx
Hi Mandy -- will be lovely to see you at next "cupcake" get-together; watch this space for date, time & venue.
Marilyn x
Hi everyone
Can we get together soon?
Joan xx
Can do most days over the next few weeks -- when is everyone else available??
Marilyn x
BUMP!!!
When shall we meet for Spring cupcakes -- sometime before Easter?
Marilyn xx
Hi Marilyn
I'm away 15th- I'll be back 22nd March. Having Herceptin at Clatterbridge on 24th- any other time is fine for me.
Sue xx
I'm sure I'll be able to fit it with most dates this month. Got treatment this week but other than that, I should be free. Will be really great to see you all again - and anyone else with secondries who wants to join us!
Love Lea x x x x
OK -- can I suggest Tuesday, the 23rd of March, lunch somewhere we can get good food AND cupcakes -- where do we think that might be? I'm quite fond of the cafe in the Manchester Craft Centre, near where we met last time. What do you think? Needless to say, it also provides opportunities for gormless purchases, spending the DLA . . .
Marilyn x
I'm happy with both the date and the venue, if it suits Sue too shall we say from 1130?
Lea x
Hi
Date, time and venue are all great by me.
Sue x
That's great -- I'll contact Poannie & my friend Ruth, to see if they can join us.
Marilyn x
Bump for anyone who'd like to join us on Tuesday! M x
would anyone mind if i invited Lee, Kathryn's husband? xxx
Hi J
It would be good to meet Lee.
