Hiya,

I also work mainly from home and it'd be nice to meet up locally to co-work.

If you fancied travelling a bit further (or are in town anyway), it's worth checking out this co-working group: http://www.meetup.com/kindredhqcoworking/ - they are a really friendly bunch and again it means you get out of the house...I've been going on&off for over a year and got so see some cool co-working spaces this way :)

Hi,

thanks to everyone who replied.

I liked the idea of meet-up workspaces, but I can't see myself travelling into town.


How about a local meeting in one of the cafes in the area. Trouble is, I don't know where to go.

Big tables, wifi, not too many kids ...

Suggestions?

We could try next week, maybe Tuesday morning. Shall we?

Sounds good - I'm up for this as I work from home too and hardly see anyone in the daytime. If you make it a different day (Weds - Sat) then I'm sure my partner will be happy to host at his cafe, Captured on the Rye on Pellatt Road, near The Mag pub. They aren't open on Tuesdays, though.

Shall we set something up next week, I was thinking Weds to avoid clashing with the Ivy House but Friday is an option too. The shop has Wi-Fi, table space, really good coffee and cake :)


I don't drive so the Ivy House is a bit far although I'd be keen to check it out some time.

Hi - sorry, I cannot make that Wed but am very interested in trying out both, captured on the rye and the Ivyhouse ( haven't been to either, it'll give me a good excuse to explore...). Unfortunately can never do Fridays (working only Mon-Thurs) - Does anyone know if Fri is the only option on the Ivyhouse?

    • I've used just about all the locally available supermarkets for deliveries over the years, and I now  use Waitrose for deliveries, for various reasons. They have a good range of the things I eat, their food is good quality and their "essentials" range is generally good value (except the tissues, which suddenly became so thin as to disintegrate immediately. I was mainly buying them for the nice plain boxes, so now I just put other tissues into the old Waitrose boxes 🤣) It is very rare for something I've ordered to not be available on the day. Their delivery drivers  are genuinely friendly and helpful. Their customer service is very good. On the rare occasions I've had issues, they have refunded me without quibbling. They often have special deals on some of the things I buy often, so I stock up when they are cheaper. I do occasionally compare prices with other supermarkets, and overall I really don't think Waitrose is more expensive, but obviously they might be for things I don't personally buy. I absolutely hate Sainsbury's, would use Lidl for some things but they don't deliver, Iceland has a very small range of things I eat, and I can't remember why I don't use Tesco or Asda any more. I recently checked out Ocado because there was some offer which seemed good value, but they just didn't have enough things I wanted to buy to make it worth using the offer. M&S don't deliver ( to the best of my knowledge) but in any case they seem to be still badly suffering from the recent hack into their system. Apologies, I have just remembered this thread is about shopping at actual physical stores, but probably many of the issues are the same.
    • Since I am of a certain vintage now, not sure if what I am going to suggest is even still around but here goes… use to be able to buy “dummy/mock papers on line and also had mini synopsis of Shakespeare plays specifically covering students wanting to gain a better understanding of play before taking mocks/ exams. Only know this as many many moons ago, struggled with English Literature and Language and this was the avenue-my parents went down. Also was at this point in my life, educated abroad as part of my fathers job.  
    • Love your comment about “shoehorned” - put a smile on my face..! As for comment about “Little Waitrose” ummmm - never really thought about it. Personally, could not care less. But guess Sainsbury Local and Tesco Express are to you more acceptable.. Ultimately, when I think about it, I actually don’t care what they call themselves - been lured by partially branding and partially convenience and what they offer in groceries.
