Come on ladies (and gents!), there must be loads of us in Manchester! Where are all the meet ups? I am in South Manchester if anyone wants to say hello!

Hello! Was thinking the same thing myself.

I'm game for a South Manchester meet up, maybe one in the spring to welcome all the MN'ters who've moved up from London...? Wine

I'm just south of Manchester, in Wilmslow - hello Grin

fenner · 09/02/2011 21:03

Right NW, you can come, but leave the WAGs behind (er, unless they're buying...)

NinthWave · 09/02/2011 21:12

Oh I live in the Not Posh bit, don't know any WAGs but have spotted Ken Barlow in the doctors' surgery Hmm

I lived in Rusholme/Longsight for 4 years so I know Manchester well, it's a fab city!

Mrsmackie · 09/02/2011 21:22

I;m near Chorlton - well, ok it's actually Old Trafford but near enough!

topsmart my new next-door neighbour has just moved up here from London - she loves it :)

CharlotteBronteSaurus · 10/02/2011 13:36

ahem - will those of North Manchester be welcome too?

I too am a cockney in (very happy) exile

fenner · 10/02/2011 14:18

I think it was me who used the term South Mcr meet up, so I'll respond. Of course you'd be welcome! Smile

If people are coming from different parts of Manchester and nearby parts of Cheshire (i.e. the Wilmslow WAG Wink), I wonder if it might be best to hold it in the city centre...

CharlotteBronteSaurus · 10/02/2011 14:45

am happy to travel to s.mcr though

Maybe make it a South Manchester meet but all welcome (just thinking that Manchester is so big).

Sounds good. Any ideas for where?

Depends on the weather I guess. Outside is good for bigger kids to charge around but it is probably too cold/wet. Does anyone want to do it over half term and bring bigger kids along or do you all want to avoid half term?

I did have a slight fantasy of a mumsnet meet up that involved meeting up in the evening sans kids and perhaps (hem hem) a slight glass of something alcoholic. Anyone fancy that?

Hiya, Withington girl here, don't know if I can make a meet up but thought I'd pop my head in!

CharlotteBronteSaurus · 11/02/2011 08:58

i'd love to come to the pub, but dd2 is perma-attached to my boob - might get away with it by day ??? Smile

VivClicquot · 11/02/2011 11:22

If you're doing an evening, can I come? Slight caveat being that I'm 28wks pregnant so can be the dull sober one in the corner, sipping a teeny glass of red... Wink

ps hiya TSC, hiya!
