Summer Sydney meet up?
(63 Posts)It's about time we had another meet up
Just so we don't waste loads of time procrastinating about details, here's what I propose
1. No kids (usual exceptions for cute babies apply)
2. With booze
3. Sometime in Feb, at this stage I shall nominate Saturday 9th, although I picked this at random
4. Location: I liked the place we went to on Darling Harbour last time, the view wasn't as good as at Opera Bar, but less chance of sunburn too
Bumpity bump
Hey Bunny congratulations!!
What lovely news hope all's well with you & your family
I could probably meet up on a Sunday if that's any use?
It's about time we resurrected the thread and arranged another meet up. There was a suggestion we meet up later this month if anyone's up for it?
Oh, and my DD was forcibly evicted after deciding to attempt a foot first exit 2 weeks early on the 23rd March . She will be available for cuddles at the next meet up.
Hi all, was lovely to meet those of you who could make it a few weeks ago. Would be great to meet up again. I can make any of those dates so will await to hear what the verdict is!
Love it RVP. Really, really love it. Very happy in our house and being back to "real life" after the weird craziness that is expat life in china. I need to make some friends still but I'm at least getting out with DD and meeting people.
VERY happy to be here.
How are you finding things Comrade? I was in your neck of the woods the other day
I'm very flexible so happy to wait or see how we go
I can do May!
I definitely can't make 6th/7th April but could do the others.
I'm definitely up for another meet up.
My edd is 6th April, so there's a significant chance I could be in labour/have a very very new baby for the dates in March/April. So May 25th/26th suits me best, but if everyone else wants an earlier date, I'll just play it by ear and turn up if I haven't popped
Yes please!
Shall I throw some dates about?
March 23rd/24th
April 6th/7th
May 25th/26th
Since so many of us have wee babies how about an earlier date so that they are less likely to be in the crawling stage?
Norty bunny!
CJ, sorry to hear about your DC's unwellness - of course that is always the risk. Glad you're ok though and hope the little ones get better soon.
We discovered that Carolyn, and her friend who came too (who needs to get on MN! ) aren't in Australia for very long - so is there a chance we can organise another meet up in a fairly short timespan? I'm away in the UK for most of April (school holidays) but perhaps we can manage a May or June meet? Bunny will have a snuffly new baby by then too, although it might be too early to bring baby out, I don't know.
Anyway - thoughts, anyone?
We had health ishoos here too I'm afraid with the wee ones. Poor DS was miserable all day and I rather thought a screaming baby wasn't the best companion for a meet up. DD is full of snot and horror too. Bloody typical for my first attempted toddler free day since I was in hospital having DS!
I did text but only realised this morning when I checked my phone that it hadn't gone through. I'm so sorry!
Next time though!
Gutted I missed it. I thought babies only interfered with your plans once they're out, but this one seems to be getting an early start. It was quite nice spending an hour in a room all alone with no toddler related distractions on delivery suite though
Maybe comradejing turned up, didnt like the look of you all and left
Today was nice, cheers ladies and I'm glad I changed my plans and came after all! Jobhunting can wait...
Good to see those of you who made it today!
We managed to get the train home in good time, and amazingly I managed to get the extra space so didn't have to collapse the pushchair either - result!
Sorry that Bunny and RVP couldn't make it due to their health ishoos - but don't know what happened to Comrade Jing, so I'm asking here - are you ok, CJ?
Had a message from Cornish - looks like she might be able to make it after all, so there will be 8 of us, is that right? and 3 babies.
Hi there Sydneysiders, I will be coming tomorrow with cute but rather large toddler dd - I didn't realise there was a no kids request but dh was grumpy enough about looking after the boys. Hopefully she will sleep in the buggy but I will leave early if she is awake and a pain.
Thumb - I have had the two extremes in sizes too. Ds2 was born at an average weight, went down to the tenth percentile and then dropped right off the chart. I haven't weighed dd much but she is decidedly chunky.
Looking forward to meeting you all.
Just timing, priorities... Can't spare the day really, that's all.
Oh what a shame! Hope it's nothing too worrying.
Aaah, so sorry but I am now going to pull out of this one this time, ladies. Was looking forward to it. Thumb, will text you.
Excellent news, Comrade Jing! Looking forward to meeting you (and you too Carolyn).
So - by my count, we have me, Bunny, Abit, RVP, Cornishmade, Carolyn and Comrade Jing - is that right?
I have messaged the other MNers that I have numbers for, have one possible in HighFibreDiet - she needs to check with her DP what their weekend plans are. No other positives (yet).
Ah, I missed it -12:30
I think we're in.
It will be myself and 12w Ds.
What time was it?
ooo fabulous! thanks muchly
