Hey Laura

Well done on the french lessons... I am attempting to teach myself, it seems to be a sloow process!

I'm from UK also, my folks live about a half hour from birmingham. I'm free most days as I don't work and have been hunting for a girly girl to drag along to manicures with me (when I finally find a salon!), if you wanna get a mani or just grab a coffee or drool over clothes and SHOEEES that we can't afford to buy, let me know haha

FYI, they talked about some Manicure's over here -> http://www.glocals.com/#/forums/geneva/where-how-in-geneva/26370.htm

Plenty of locations based on the yellow pages as well -> http://yellow.local.ch/en/q/?what=Manicure&where=Gen%C3%A8ve

And on QYPE -> http://www.qype.co.uk/ch013-geneve/categories/242-manicures-and-pedicures-in-geneva

Good luck!

Aww thanks Heikki.... very much appreciated :D

I haz chipped nails :(

Hey Charlotte,

Thanks for replying! I was trying to teach myself french but I was really failing at doing it. I hoping that they will help and it will be ok. Hope your french teaching goes better than mine lol!! I would be up for going for a coffee or shopping and mani's (I really need to get mine done as they look bad at the moment! ), Im quite a girly girl so I like doing them things. During the weekdays I work but can meet up in the evenings or on weekends. On weekdays I have the little boy that I look after but I do go shopping with him as well so we can even meet on a week day if you wanted.

Let me know if you want to meet.

Hi Laura!

My name is Sarah, I'm from Manchester and I'm 28. I've lived here for about 6 months now, (in Petit Lancy) but have not started my French lessons yet so I am dreadful but would really like someone to go out and grab a coffee with and practise tryign to order and stuff!

I have a little boy who is 4 so if you fancy doing anything with the kids or even just popping round for a brew whilst they play here then let me know - I'm desperate for nights out too so really need to work on my social life!

My little boy is in school in the mornings and some afternoons but has Wednesdays off plus Monday and Friday afternoons.

My email is Taylors2002@hotmail.com if you want to catch up!

Thanks, Sarah

Hi guys i'm in the same position as you.

I've come up with an idea......... Would you three girls like to come to my place for drinks one evening this week? Say Friday night? We could maybe meet here for a couple of drinks and then head out to a restaurant or bar. It will be like the TV programme "Come Dine With Me" but without the meal (i'll cook on our second meet up) :0) We could chat have a few drinks, nibbles and share stories of our experiences here.

A bit about me, i'm from the UK, 27 years old, moved here with my partner in September.

I live in Jonction so if it's too far for any of you let me know and maybe we could meet in town instead.

Cheers!

Hi Laura, I'm almost new too in Geneva, I moved here in October and I'm looking too for some girlfriends to go out, maybe for a drink, shopping or even a coffee, let me know if you wanna meet one of these days after working time, I know about a nice tapas bar at Pont D'Arve.

Cheers

Mariana

Hi Laura,

I am moving to Geneva in two weeks from London and will also be looking for French lessons and some friendly gals to explore the city etc with..

I am looking into having lessons - so I will let you know what I find. Catch you later..

Lis

@Laura OH and I are going to wednesdays new member drinks so maybe we will bump into you at some point.

@FlowerRose I am most likely going away on friday for the weekend so I won't be able to come over for drinks and nibbles... I will be back on 16th so maybe we can have a do-over :) I might even arrange something for 17th as its my birthday (yaaay)

Hi Laura/Charlotte

I'll see if i can try and make it tomorrow night to the new members drinks, maybe we can all bump into each other there.

Hopefully see you tomorrow night!

Take care

Hi Girls,

It looks like I am in the same situation...but mostly I have more time during the day.

If sy wants to meet any of the afternoons for a coffee or just to walk around (second part of the week will be very cold, they forecasted -3!!) we can meet somewhere warm!!

bye then!

Hey girls,

I am also going to the event tonight.. I am not that new in Geneva but I am also looking for friends =)

for those looking for french lessons you can go to: http://www.ecole-club.ch/fr/Seiten/default.aspx - 

but there is also another course that I saw that Glocals have a disccount.. I tried to find but I couldn't if I do I will let you know

cheers!

@Paula Maya The event tonight? Tuesday Drinks event? I am going to that one also so perhaps I will see you there. There is a new members event on wednesday for newbies and veterans so if you get chance then maybe pop along to that one... being the party girl I am, I will be at both lol

Hi charlotte!

sorry I meant tomorrow! Maybe I am still a little slow this morning ;)

But we will meet tomorrow then :) tonight I can't...

you could try the Michel Thomas CD's for learning some French quite quickly....

Hi ladies!

I am moving to Geneva in a couple of weeks and would love to be a part of get togethers/drinks/shopping with some ladies!  I look forward to hopefully meeting you soon!

- Heather :)

Right girls, seeing as how our little "girly posse" seems to be recruiting more expats-to-be already, do we not think that maybe it's time we got ourself in gear and actually arranged a coffee meet or something?

@Becky My phone is broken... I am attempting to fix it but for the time being I am only reachable via glocals site but I do check it daily.

@the girls that went to last nights drinks event.... I'm sorry I didn't get chance to meet any of you except Becky, Brooke (OH) wasn't feeling too well so we went home quite early.

@Heather Yay on moving to Geneva... I hope it goes smoothly for you, let us know when you are here :)

Urrgh, can't edit posts *grr* but I meant Laura, not Becky.... I met up with Laura at the drinks event last night :)

Hello,

I am defo up for meeting up, coffee would be great - also I think Laura mentioned maybe going out for cocktails? I would love a girly, cocktails night out and maybe a club!

Let me know if anyone arranges anything, or if you want me to! Weekend is best for me, for a proper drinking session anyway - I have a little kiddie so week-nights are a bit of a killer, I can't hack getting up in the morning!! xx

Also FlowerRose, thanks for the invite for drinks.

Jonction is not far from me, all the buses stop through it on the way to the centre from Petit Lancy. Maybe when we arrange a night out we could meet in Jonction first if there are any good cocktail/wine bars? xx

Wow, what a nice idea and nice thread!

Good on you ladies for getting together and for being pro-active about making the landing in GVA as soft as possible!

@Nir What can I say... we're a thoughtful bunch :) Sorry I didn't find you to say goodbye last night, Brooke is ill, and you still owe me a drink at the next event x

Hi there,

What do you think about arranging something for next week? Day and/or night according to preferences!

We should definately arrange something for next week... maybe on 17th? :D (my birthday and don't want to spend it on my own)

Think OH may have plans for me on the night, but maybe we could all get together for lunch or just coffee. What do you girls reckon?

Also.. I'm not going to UK this weekend anymore so if anyone wants to do something this weekend then thats awesome as OH is going back to Bahrain until tuesday *lonely*

Ladies, 

If you're indeed coming out this weekend, come to Psycho Club. 

It's a new club in Paquis, reserved only for glocals & sindy members on weekends. I'm at the door to ensure you ladies get the respect you deserve...(-:

Details: www.sindy.ch

I would be up for going out Saturday night - and I do fancy that club! Let me know if anyone else does.

Sounds good to me! I'm up for it... if I can find it... and if I can get home afterwards...

Hey All, Sorry I have not been on in ages. I am up for drinks, coffees, nights out anything!! Let me know by emailing me or writing on here. Im up for the club too.

@Charlottle It was great meeting you at the drinks on Wednesday, I think we should def get something sorted for us all to meet up as I see we are getting a little group going!

@Sarah It was really good meeting you this afternoon and letting the little ones play! He had so much fun, he was talking about it on the way home. Thanks for giving him some dinner as well. We should def do it again. Ill look at cinema things and let you know if anything good on!!

Let me know if everyone is meeting up and Ill come along! hope everyone is ok!!!!!

:D
