Hello am here!

And yes I'd join a FB group as I'm nosey and be nice to put faces to names!

Oooh shiny new thread!!!!

I?m not on the list :( my stats are: dc1 - edd 5th October - wee surprise

I?m happy to join a group, I?ve never set one up before, do you just create a group? Shall I try?

Hmmm I just created a secret group... of me and my husband lol! I am crap with technology. Do we need to be friends on facebook first?

Yes, you'd need to be friends first. Which would mean sharing everyone's email address so we could find each other. Or you could make a public group then make it private once we all join. Am really strict with my privacy settings as my job is in social media so don't want to be tracked down by colleagues and agencies - my FB is private, my twitter is public

Actually, Sooty, if you change the settings for your group to public and send us the link, we can all join (can change it back later)

i'm totally strict with privacy as well, thats why I choose secret but didnt realise that meant nobody can find it now! And my husband thinks I have gone totally crazy inviting him to join me in an October baby group!

What would everyone prefer, I can make it public to start if thats what people want? Or people could private message me their e mail addresses?

Or someone clever could do it

Ooh ok hang on Micky and I will try that

Oooo lovely new thread.

My settings are private. Some albums only I can look at and the others are just friends. My profile is private too. If you type in my name I dont cone up but if you type in my email addy it does.

I'm happy to give my email address. To whoever wants to add me on Facebook but will pm you rather than post it on the thread :-)

Micky I have sent you a pm if you wouldn't mind checking the link for me?

I'd be happy to join FB group. I was just actually thinking about that myself this morning. I'd vote to send PM's with email addresses to a FB Group "host".

I'll join a facebook group! I think we'd only need to be friends with one person, who could then add us while maintaining privacy the whole time (that's how it has worked with my NZ baby forum facebook group anyway, gasp, now it's out that I'm two-timing you all ).

I think my bump is going through a growth spurt - it has been feeling so huge and solid for the last two days, and I can see entire legs pushing up against it, let alone little feet!

I want to join a Facebook group!!! I think my settings are fairly private, but my name does come up you put it in. Has someone taken charge of pm-ing?

I was about a second off starting the new tread last night when DS woke up... So I took myself off to bed at 9 and feel like a new woman as a result [twirls] Slept all the way through til 5 without even a loo break! Amazing in itself, that is!

Thanks for putting up with my ranty pants yesterday I'll be much cheerier on this thread, promise.

Morning!

Ok I have sent the link to everyone who asked and hopefully it will work! Its very basic sorry! Aside from being crap at technology I was setting it up mid fight with my DH. Must be something in the air!!!

I mostly mumsnet from my phone during the day so will hopefully still be able to access the group and stuff.

Does anyone else want to be admin for it? Share the responsibility??

Hope everyone has a good day :)

I'm here!! FB group a good idea and don't mind about how we do it.

I'm a member! You can make me an admin too if you like. Also, we're still an open group but I think we can make it private now coz people can get the link to join via private messages here.

I'm there!

I'm never going to get anything done now, am I?

Morning I'm there - should we all post who we are? I'm easily confused and will never keep up

Thanks for the lovely new thread Pinpan.

Running thanks for the dummy weaning advice. I think you are probably right and that I would only be making a rod for my back if I tried weaning him now when he's too young to understand the concept of a reward like the dummy fairy....at least I think he is anyway. He had his first dentist's visit yesterday and got a sticker and was proud as punch. He insisted it was transferred onto his PJs when he went to bed and called his daddy to come in and see it when he came home from work .

Anyway, almost 33 weeks here. Isn't time just flying? I'm so excited now about finishing work and looking forward to putting my feet up for a few weeks' calm before the whirlwind in October.
