Hi Jay, Thanks for the note. I just moved with my husband to West Kirby, Wirral a couple weeks ago. I'm American and my husband is English and grew up in the area. Hopefully will be able to attend a meeting sometime soon!
Cheers,
Britta
Hi Jay, I haven't been on here much but saw your question today. To answer there is one American lady who has a British husband that live in Morton not that far away who are friends to me and my wife. I have not given up on attending one of the meetings at some point.
Cheers, Karl
HAhaha.. OK.. how bout this. When are you free?? :=D First weekend of May is another bank holiday. Second weekend in May? 3rd weekend in May? We can also try for Friday nights. Doesn't have to be Saturday.
Jay, don't worry about it... I'll change the date. I don't think that after bowling, dodging whiplash and food in a basket we'd have the energy nor hunger for a Lebanese feast!! :-) I didn't think about it coinciding with either passover or easter or a bank holiday weekend!! Silly me. this is what happens when you're self-employed. Bank holidays are just another day! We'll all get a happy date eventually.. there's no hurry for this one. :-)
Hey Jay...I think you should become the official organizer of American Expats!
that would be very much appreciated if you don't mind! what is the date exactly? also i would love to do the bowling and bumper cars!
Hi Karl,
Would have loved to join you guys on Saturday, yet we are down in London this weekend. Please let me know about the next gathering. Have fun - Nicole
Hi Jay,
don't think I can make it this time after all. If things change I'll RSVP again.
Thanks, Karl
LOL Oh shit, I hadn't even seen your comments! Hahaha no, the beer comment was fine & funny; I forgot about a previous engagement we had planned. Oh & for the record, it's diaper AND nappy! How's that for confusing? We're keeping our eye out for meetups that we can make, though, so hopefully we'll see you soon! Sorry for the mix up, hope you didn't feel too bad unnecessarily! :)
Great. Look forward to it. :) I'll do my pathetic "Jersey" accent for you.
