Midlander Mumsnetters.

[ChanelNo5]

I'm in the Midlands and I'm just being nosey as to who else lives in the centre of good ole Blighty - I know there are a few others (suew,lill & ailsa) but anyone else?

[Hilary]

I live in the East Midlands, whereabouts are the rest of you?

[year0]

I live in S Yorks. Can't think of anything else interesting to add, sorry.

[ChanelNo5]

I'm in Warwickshire.

[Lill]

Would happily meet up in the evening or lunch at the weekends so partner could have kids - have to bring the baby though as i wear him like a badge!
Leicester or Nottingham would suit me best.

[Ailsa]

Worcester

[munchie]

I live in Coventry.

[Rosilee]

I'm also from Coventry, Not much of a chatter at the minute though, quiet new to mumsnet and often just browse at the threads to get a feel!!

[Lill]

Watch out Rosilee once you start you wont be able to stop. I only strated a few days ago and now im hooked it has the added bonus of keeping me a way from my not so d h!

[helenmh]

I live in Derby

[Lill]

helen ever taking your little one(s) to mundy play park?

[SueW]

I'm here - halfway between Nottingham and Derby, close to M1 J25 so easy for me to get to most places if we had a meet up.

[Lill]

had a thought on another thread that ikea (j26) would be a good place to meet. it is quite during the week, accessable, children friendly and great for lunch.

[year0]

Sounds good

[Lill]

sorry that should have obviously read 'quiet'

OK how many midlander netters fancy a lunchtime meeting with kids at ikea, junc 26 M1? Thurs or Fridays are best for me. Lets say betweeen 10.30 - 2.00pm?

[SueW]

Er, I don't have kids during the week - he's at school!

I'll pop along for a coffee though. I start work at 2pm, so would have to leave around 1.15 but other than that, I'm ok for that time/those days too.

[SueW]

Doh - that should read 'she's' at school. Except she's not at the mo - got the high temp/cold thing that's doing the rounds.

[Lill]

Anyone else - ChanelNo5, Hilary?

[Lill]

Alternatively we could do an evening somewhere a little more exciting?

[helenmh]

Hi we do go to the Mundy play area.The boys are 8 and 10 so they are at school in the week

Lill - An evening somewhere would suit me better as I have to pick dd up at lunchtime and ds up at 3pm. Would love to meet up though!

[Hilary]

I'm 1 1/2 hours from Ikea ( I don't know how I cope!) so it would be a whole day thing for me. Possible though. Although an evening thing sounds appealing, I don't fancy a long journey back on terrible Lincolnshire roads late at night.

[spring]

I live in West Bridgford near Nottingham. Would love to meet up but at the moment I'm STILL working full time, plan to finish in April though. Meeting in a play park would be a little easier for those of us not so brave? How about organising a day trip by train to the seaside in the summer? My dd will be 3 in June (where did that go?).

[year0]

Would love to meet up somewhere/somehow. Starting work next week so Ikea would have been ideal up till now!

[Hilary]

I used to live near you in Nottingham, spring, but have moved to the middle of Lincolnshire. Ikea would have been brilliant for me 18 months ago. However I am fairly near the seaside if you decide to go east from Nottingham rather than west. But...by the summer, I may have moved again so probably best not to count me in.

[sylvev]

Hi, only just found this thread. I live in Droitwich Spa, 7 miles from Worcester. I would also love to meet up. Best days for me are Monday and Tuesday (with 3 year old) or evenings/weekends, without. I work weds, thurs, Fridays and have to pick 7 year old up from school other days.
Ikea is one of my favourite places, esp. as I have an Ikea card, yippeeee.
I hope we can arrange something.
