Hi All

I have recently moved to Kelvedon near Colchester and would like to arrange/come to a meet up -have been a mumsnetter for about 5 years so have met some of the older regulars but none who live near me.

I would be happy to pick anyone up and meet near Colchester or if not you are all welcome at my house!

I work Monday to Wednesday though!

Twinkie - I will be free for a meet up but not for a few months (is that unhelpful?)

When did you move to Kelvedon?

Smellmel · 15/10/2007 20:56

Hi I too live in Kelvedon. I have a 5 year old DD and an 18 month DS. When did you move to the village and how are you finding it?

Mung · 31/10/2007 22:39

Hi...am I too late???? I live in Copford. I moved here (all the way from the depths of Chelmsford!) just over a year ago and I am still feeling like the outsider.

Bessie123 · 05/11/2007 15:50

hmmm, this thread is not having much success...

Twinkie1 · 06/11/2007 14:00

Right shall we revive this one!

I like living in Kelvedon is very nice and peaceful. I wish I new more people than the 3 girls that I know though! People tend to not speak to new people at DDs school for some reason - maybe it's me having 2 heads that is the problem!

Does anyone want to meet up next Friday am quite happy to drive anywhere or you can all converge on my house if you want - I live on the High Street.

Twinkie - I can't make it then, but hope others can. i will keep watching the thread, in case...

Mung · 08/11/2007 13:45

Hi,

I'm here 'watching' intently.

I can't do Friday this week. How about next week (16th)in the morning? I am happy to travel to Kelvedon or you can come here if you need a change of scenery. Can you make next week Bessie123?

purpleflower · 08/11/2007 13:49

Hi I used to live in Colchester, am in Sudbury now. We are going to view a house in Colchester this afternoon so may be on my way back there.

Just wanted to say hi even though I will never probably meet any of you (I am far too shy)

Mung · 08/11/2007 14:34

Hope you like the house purpleflower. Sudbury is a nice place though. I love the café run by the Frenchman...I can never remember its name.

If you do move back, let us all know and we can meet up (you can't be THAT shy)

Bessie123 · 10/11/2007 19:49

Mung - it's difficult for me to make days before christmas now, but I will keep watching the thread.

Mung · 13/11/2007 10:32

Twinkie?

Twinkie1 · 14/11/2007 18:18

Oh here we are again - sorry having nightmare - plasterer coming tomorrow and granite man friday so am stuck!

And forgot DS's B'day Saturday so got to get all the crap for that!

So sorry everyone life just seems to be passing me by!

Next weekend DS is away with DH so will be just little old me!

What about the first Friday in December - anyone free to meet up then?

I promise I will be around unless been hit by a meteor!

We saw the house and to be honest it was a dump, needed ripping out and starting again everywhere! We put in an offer but they said it was too low. I'm not going to offer much more because of the state of it but it is the biggest we can get for our budget. It's a 3 bed house with a garden and everything else I've seen is a small 2 bed flat.

I don't know anyone in Sudbury and I've lived here over a year so you could say that I really am that shy I do want to change that though, A lot of old school friends are in Colchester and we will have babysitters near so hopefully I will be able to build my confidence a bit. Saying that I did end up in the Hippodrome on sat with my SIL

Mung · 15/11/2007 13:33

I cant do that Friday Twinkie...we are on holiday. I can't do 14th either as there is a special bearded visitor at our Toddler group that day...looks like it may be post Christmas at this rate!!

Twinkie1 · 16/11/2007 12:41

Thats ok maybe we should leave this until after Xmas am thinking of jacking in ojb so may have a lot more free time after xmas!

OP posts:

Mung · 16/11/2007 14:11

Thats a big step Twinkie...I am thinking about getting a job...hopefully I'll come to my senses tomorrow . Will you finish at Christmas then if you do jack it all in?

Mung · 04/01/2008 21:14

Once my tree comes down tomorrow, I consider it to be well and truly 'after Christmas', so will we manage a meet-up ladies?

Hi Dior...so are you interested in a meet up too? The others seem to have disappeared

Twinkie1 · 08/01/2008 15:07

Right Girls Christmas over so no excuses - how about next Thursday or Friday or the week after that Thursday or Friday - only days I can do I am afraid as work Monday to Wednesday.

Quite happy to come into Colchester but the invite stands - if you would like to come to my house you are more then welcome - is about a 1/15 minute drive out of Colchester in Kelvedon.

Sass you too if you are about - have some bits for DS.

I can do next Thursday (17th) morning or the following Thursday (24th) or Friday (25th) in the morning.

I don't mind what we do either, quite happy to come to Kelvedon.

Twinkie1 · 09/01/2008 12:49

Ok shall we say next Thursday at 10am - Anyone else.
