I'd love to but my kids are almost grown and gone, I'm a long-term lone-parent, and I'm nearly 46 - worried I'll be either ... too old / not 'mummy' enough / unable to moan about partners (delete as applicable ;o)

I'd love to, despite not living in Sussex or Hants but I'll have an extremely young baby if she ever bloody makes an appearance so child free would be a struggle at that point. Put me down for Gunwharf 2, the Revenge!

Although I'm only 30 and don't have kids so may not qualify...

Where the bloody hell is Gunwharf?

I had to bow out of the London meet up due to illness, so wouldn't mind coming to another one.

You're not nearly 40 are you? Blimey, I thought you were about my age (early 30s), though thinking of it that makes no sense with the ages of your kids.

What about the 4th? 11th is beginning of Half term week and we are away. GW is only an hour from me, but I'd have to stay sober and drive home, but that's been done before!

It's in Portsmouth, Get0rf.

Teahouse, you'll be fine. Age and children don't matter! Facial hair IS of some importance though...

I'd love to come but can't do 1 unless I can con my sister into spending some quality time with her favourite nephew Wink Will check!

Bunch · 04/01/2012 19:26

I'm almost 40 too, have 2 children, 7 and 11 but no facial hair other than eyebrows! If there's a date change then let me know! Gunwharf is VERY local for me!

I would love to as have missed a couple of Brighton meets. Forgot about one and could not get a sitter for the next.

However, tis a little bit to far I think especially if drink is to be consumed AND I have just removed my facial hair. Hopefully it will grow again by the time the next meet happens (hairy Grin)

Can't do 4th or 11th. Buggeredby bugger. Can do the 18th and 25th.

An in Southampton so Gunwharf or Winchester is easy.

Report
Grockle · 04/01/2012 20:18

I can also do Winchester (is easier for me) but happy to drive to Gunwharf. Just means no getting drunk!

Report
PurplePidjInAPearTree · 04/01/2012 20:24

Winchester is easier for me too because it means i don't have to change trains at Southampton. I'm flexible on dates and happy to drive and do pick ups along the A35 and M27

I will PM you and please can you PM back paybal info so I can pay you for it 2 months late Blush

Portsmouth is a bit far from here, the trains are a pig from here and it is a faff of a drive (my brother used to go to university at Southampton).
