When organising a Mumsnet meet up you should take the same basic precautions you would when meeting anyone from the internet - make sure you meet in a public place and that others know where you are going.

Mine are 7 and 10 and I'm not nearby but I'm sure there must be someone out there near Portsmouth.

There's a few of us up here at the the other end of the M27 but with all the Harry Rednapp stuff going on at the moment I don't know if you'd want to talk to any of us.....

There was a West Sussex meet up thread last week which had people from Chichester and thereabouts on it. Would that be any use?

Well i've put in a request to reduce my hours at work as getting really tired at the moment and late shifts are really getting to me, so should have an answer by tomorrow, but it would be easier next week as thats when my new shift would start.

My parents own an apartment in Tenerife so am off there. DH is only there for a few days so I get 3 days of no responsibility at all (apart from bump). I am now counting the days!

I love tenerife, i'm so jealous right now.
well i heard from baby's dad today, he's confusing me by saying he wants to have children and that his first one shuold be a special event in his life, but at the beginning he didn't want to know. What do you think?

i'm so i'm from pompey as well, but don't live there any more shame I can't come and meet up

I gather he has not been feeling so maternal all the way through then? Not knowing all the history would be difficult to comment but personally I would be a little wary but open minded (a very fluffy answer, sorry!)

munnzieb, do you live in a commutable area, can we arrange a mutually convienient point?!!!

Evening
Hi munnzieb where abouts r u based now? i'm sure we can commute as puddytats was saying.

Well daddy wanted me to abort the baby when i firsttold him, but made me even more determined to keep it. i asked him if he was willing to help finacially before xmas, he said he now wants children and always has and the first one should be special, but i'm confused as to what he wants. n e advice?
