to think all the north easteners are coming out of the woodwork in the last day or so?

[StealthPolarBear]

Every thread I go on is filled with people sayign "I'm from the north east..."
Why are you not all meeting us for cake?

Sign in here to say hi to other NEers, and tell us are you:

• North of Middlesbrough?
• North of Durham?
• North of Newcastle?

My answers are yes, no, no

Aworryingtrend I don't have DC yet either and I still go to the meet ups (I'm a nanny!) but I hardly ever bring my charges along!

KenDodds (and anyone else), come to a meet! I only started going because I "met" one of the group on a post natal thread and she invited me along. It seemed rude to not go and I wanted to meet some other mums (only one of my friends with kids) Then I used it as an excuse for cake I realised that they were a fab group of people. We do a mix of "I need to get out of the house with the kids before I go mad" and grown up (I use the term loosely ) nights out with cocktails and a meal.

Thanks spiggy. I will look out for the next weekend one!

Newcastle (shhh proper soft southerner really, came for a bit & never left)

Yes don't be scared of us! We all met through MN, a few of us have met in other places too (just because we happen to have similar age dcs or a shared interest) and see each other outside MN but all the MN meets are organised on here and anyone is welcome.

No :(
No :(
No :(

And to q4, London for real, not as a 'butt out' answer :(
Hopefully not forever though. Nothing against London, but I miss the NE.

Sugarrushed, you live reasonably close to my parents then.

hiya, am newcastle ish! Had heard a rumour about north east meet ups but I thought they were all in my imagination! Am nearer the person who said they were in Wbay than to toon.....

No,No,No
But not far, North Yorkshire.
(I'm from down south, so not a local )

hello geordie minx, i was born in Great Lumley, gradually moved south then west to manchester tho.

so all those who answered yes yes no like me, where abouts are you ??

South shields lass here!! Is it not a bit scarey going to your first meet up?

I'm in Gateshead, nr Team Valley.
Grew up in Cramlington.

can't believe there are so many of us!

frisky I went to school in great lumley! Parents still live there!

Yes
Yes
Just, I think(Whitley Bay)

Lived down south for twenty years though so the accent only really comes out when I'm drunk, angry or tired.

Middlesbrough here too - south of the town on the N Yorks border.

north of boro, south of durham
I work stupidly long hours and have no life

oooh MMM I bet you live near my ILs - Yarm area?

SPB- bit further east - C.N. but DP is from Eaglescliffe.

ah ha!

I'm in north Durham.
Always been too nervous to come to the meet ups though!

seems like a lot of Teesside people here - a meet-up in Yarm might be nice......???

sr, we are not scary
well the others are, but I'm not
I'd be up for a meet up in Yarm - Stricky's? I suppose the Georgian House is gone?

Stricky's is nice. I don't think The House has closed but I've not been on the high street for ages. Too much work and no social life - well I do as long as it involves 3yo DTs.
