Hiya - yeah he goes to nursery in the village 3 times a week. I use mainly the tuesday one sometimes in hanborough. On a Wednesday he goes to his Nan's for the day

So have you lived in this area all your life? I used to live Banbury-way and then we moved to Eynsham first before moving to hanborough

Hi there! I haven't been on here for ages and it's all been a bit manic to be honest of recent... I live in carterton and struggled to find people on here that live west oxford way. I have a daughter who's 16 months old now and it's gorgeous and i'm 17 weeks expecting of baby number 2. Oh and i'm 26... I'm a very happy and laid back person, married, originally from north wales but spent 4 years in covntry. I used to be in care work, but i'm a full time mum at the mo. I go to crocodile music group on a wednesday am in carterton, it's a busy group, but larna soon got used to it. I live on shilton park and there's a nice park by the new school, if you guys were free to meet up sometime, if it's not too far out your ways? Or we could go to the wildlife park, which is a bit more exciting! Right, gotta dash, take care! sorry for waffling on... adele x

Maybe we can meet in witney for a cuppa and some cake then sometime! Just a quick random question... do you know anywhere that sells Lucky Charms Cereal, It's american and not widely available, got marshmallow bits in? I have my biggest craving ever and it's looking like i'll have to order it off the net! adele

Hi Adele
Gem - I drive so could pick you up?
A day out would be brilliant

Or a cuppa and cake ( well not for me have just started slimming world again ) but a cuppa and a natter would be good

Gem - we used to live by the primary school, just rented a little place. Then we ended up in Hanborough in April 2005, 3 months before my son was born. Im not sure about another as me and DP are both only children BUT my friend has just had one and I got soooo.... broody!!!! LOL! x

I don't mind which... the wildlife parks not far from me at all and i have a season pass, thanx to my mum ;-) It's about £10 and i think under 3's r free. But will say on there web sight. If money is an issue, I often take larna's lunch and even a sandwich for me and then just get some chips if u fancy it when there. Or they do really nice soup!

Witney's not a problem to get to either. So i really don't mind!

I tried to convince myself that I would wait till larna was about 3 when the next one was to arrive, but I just couldn't wait. I always wanted a smaller gap really. and when my friend got pregnant, I was secretely jealous, I stopped the pill and got caught straight away and there's now about 7 weeks between our due dates!

I'm 1 of 2, but wouldn't mind having 3 or 4 and am happy to keep going till i get a boy for my hubby. speak soon, xx

Thanks for the offer on picking me up tinker

Meeting up in witney would be a good ides gives us a chance to chat over coffee with the guarantee of staying dry lol, but yeah wildlife would be great but money is a bit tight until after my wedding.

Adele- not sure of anywhere that will sell them but I work at sainsburys so i'll have a look when i go in tonight for you!

I cant wait to have my implant taken out in august, but if I had my way i'd be pregnant now lol

He's at nursery friday AM but we can be in Witney for about 12:15, if that suits you two would be great for a natter

gemdangracie - just thought... have got wedding favours for the ladies? I've got about 20 lovely carved wooden heart shaped boxes, that I was going to fill with popouri and give out as extra gifts and never got round to it and they are just taking up wardrobe space if you would like them for just a small cost. let me know... i can send you a picture. adele

Where do you wanna meet?
Dont go for coffee that much in Witney, so no 100% sure on the best places?

Report
AdeleFielder · 25/06/2008 16:38

Well I don't really do much either, I know huffkins at the bottom of town is child friendly, but they aren't the cheapest place. They do lovely cake and stuff there though.
I also went to another place across the road from there once, near boots, think it was the one with the purple front. It was basic but reasonably priced and quite big, so there would be room for us and we could eat there with out to much cost if we wanted too. I don't hink they had high chairs, but i think larna's the youngest at 16 months and will be fine on a big chair or in her buggy.

Oh I know the purple one - cant think of its name. Have been in there a few times and like you said there is the space in there

See what Gem thinks? And then we can sort it out
