Yes, we all met on MN on such meet ups and through chat thread Islandhaze just joined and Kora a little while earlier, they're the newbies!

Want to come along? It will be fun Smile

Well I know all of them now but I didn't before (IYSWIM!) - I joined MN whilst waiting for DS as he was a non-traditional "delivery" and I had no idea how to meet other parents without going through the NCT type groups.

We're quite kind to new people though the act does drop after a while and we're pretty much all a nightmare after that...

Would you like to join in? I'm always happy to go for coffee if you want some people in smaller groups.

FlubbaBubba · 20/09/2011 14:36

:) at being kind to new people Kew - is your little one adopted? I seem to remember reading your threads a year or so ago (your name caught my eye because I grew up in Kew).

May join you all, if you don't mind, but will have to pluck up the courage not to worry about being The Newbie Blush

Will check with DH that he hasn't got any plans for Sat and will get back to you. >>feels nervous! Confused

vbus · 20/09/2011 14:48

Please do come along and no need to feel nervous Smile Although the 1st MN meet up I went to years ago I confess to feeling exactly the same especially as most people knew each other back then and I was the newbie Grin Everyone was very, very friendly and I have made some excellent friends since then so I'm glad I plucked up the courage to go.

Post on here if you can make it so I can alter the restaurant booking

no nerves do come along requirement to eat drink and be merry

Kewcumber · 20/09/2011 14:51

yes he was adopted.

Just thinkof it as being a public service for island and Kora so they won't feel like the newbies anymore!

Kewcumber · 20/09/2011 14:52

just realised I haven't actually arranged babysitting! Blush Must call Ma...

Kora · 20/09/2011 15:14

DH is back and all is fine with night out! Hurrah! Should make it to White Cross too - is that 7pm start?

FlubbaBubba · 20/09/2011 16:04

Hiya, have checked with DH and I'm going to join you at Fatboys if that's okay? :S

Kewcumber · 20/09/2011 16:41

ooh i have babtsitting too but might go straight to restaurant.. not sure yet

UptoapointLordCopper · 20/09/2011 18:00

The White Cross. Smile

UptoapointLordCopper · 20/09/2011 18:01

And hello to FlubbaBubba. I was the Newbie before Kora and Island, wasn't I? See how I go around pretending to know what's going on? You can do that too!

FlubbaBubba · 20/09/2011 18:54

Thanks Uptoapoint :) - I will attempt to flounce around knowingly then Wink

Still BFing my youngest, so, depending on what time I can put him down, I will join you either in the pub or the restaurant, more likely the latter.

tillyfernackerpants · 20/09/2011 20:36

look forward to meeting you!

I will try to make the pub, just depends on what time dh gets back

vbus · 21/09/2011 13:34

Flubba - glad you can make it, look forward to meeting you Smile

No idea when I'll get to pub, likely to be around 7.30...

FlubbaBubba · 21/09/2011 15:44

God you lot are being nice! I've got a lot to live up to now Wink

Kewcumber · 21/09/2011 17:33

we're not nice in RL though.

Mwah ha ha ha haaaa!

FlubbaBubba · 21/09/2011 18:31

:o >>happily lowers own standards to meet those of the group's

UptoapointLordCopper · 21/09/2011 19:38

Speak for yourself, Kew. I'm nice. Grin

Kewcumber · 21/09/2011 20:25

Hmmm... well Copper my aging mother used to say that self praise was no recommendation...

UptoapointLordCopper · 22/09/2011 11:03

islandhaze · 23/09/2011 12:44

You are all very nice, fun and young looking ;) (newby talks honestly )
Ill be at the pub 7:30. Does bus 65 stops near by there? I suppose ill leave a car at home Wine

sfxmum · 23/09/2011 13:17

island you have to leave the 65 at the bus station stop which is basically behind the cinema, then go over to the main road and cross it the restaurant is on the other side of the bridge and I think the pub is just before you cross it

islandhaze · 23/09/2011 15:10

Thanks Sfx ;)
