Hi, is there anyone from the Corby area of Northants? I saw a Northants topic but everyone was from Wellingborough, so I was wondering if there was anyone closer?

hi, I assumed everyone was from wellingborough as I scanned through it quick and saw talk of what roads people live on etc. Whereabouts are you? I only really know the town and the leisure park. How old are your kids? I've got Lucy who'll be 4 in June and Oscar who is 20 months.

somewhere I know lol! that's the hungry horse pub isn't it? We only moved here in November, so we're always trying to find places that are child friendly.

Yes it is. It used to have a little soft play area inside not sure if it does still. Some of the pubs in town will let kids in but only if you are having a meal. Where did you move from?

we moved from Wales, we were so glad to leave, they all hated us for being english! I'm from Bedfordshire originally though. Have you always lived around here? I always seem to be at Cheeky Monkees as there's not much else to do with the kids. Have you been to Kids Kingdom or Telford Lodge pub? I've got to give both a try at some point, but I never get round to it as I have to get the bus everywhere!

I lived in corby till i was 16 moved to kettering and then went to lichfield to be with ds's dad then came back. I've heard that kids kingdom is overpriced for what it is. As for telford lodge i went there with my ex's daughter and there didnt seam to be much there but i didnt really have a look at it tbh. Im going to go to one of them sometime give us something different to do and i can form a proper opinio for myself. I take ds swimming but surpose its not so easy with two. I know what you mean about having to get the bus everywhere.Its not so bad with the kids ages as they dont cost on the buses hehe

Hi 3andnomore it's nice to see another Corby mum! shelleylou I've always wanted to take the kids swimming but I can't take both, plus I haven't been in a swimming costume in nearly 3 years. Oscar's a nightmare, he screams his head off on buses and the drivers turn round and give me dirty looks, lol! but I've got to brave it at some point or I'll never go anywhere.

Hes had diarhea since sat today hes started being sick and hes refusing to eat more importantly he wont drink. Doctors worried he'll become dehydrated got to try and get ds to have 3 bottles before 10.30 tomorrow if not we've got to go bck docs in the afternoon.
Josh is usually into everything all hes doing at the mo is lying or crawling a little wont walk and isnt sturdy on his feet as hes ill. I think a soft play place would be good but i wont meet up untill josh is better and 48 hours after hes last been sick etc. Would hate to think hes passed it on to Oscar, Lucy or any other child due to me.

Oh poor thing , that sounds nasty. It's always so worrying when they're ill, hope he takes those bottles tomorrow. We'll sort something out when he's better then.Samie, I always end up spending a fortune when I go soft play, are the fruit shoots and cakes on display where the kids can see them at Kids Kingdom? They are at Cheeky Monkees, so the kids hassle me constantly!!

Just saying hello! I was born in Kettering in 1965 and lived in Corby till 1977. I have such happy memories of being a child there - so much freedom. We were always out and about on our own from the age of about four! I remember going for bike rides to the boating lake, going swimming etc. Still have one friend there but haven't been back for a few years.

KatyLiz · 01/04/2008 20:39
