All Right! ::claps hands:: Gather Round!!

[TeeTsarina]

I'm am determined to make the Belfast Local Boards (and Co Antrim, where I also Tsarina!) more active!

Who is up for a conversation about living in Belfast and the absolute lack of child friendly places to go?!

Seriously, anyone about?

Yes that's it. Jellybean! Opps! thought it was soft play. Heard alot about it being child friendly too.

On the subject of baby 'stuff', I used McCullough's in Bangor for my Pram,cot etc. However, if Ikea had been here then, I would prob have bought there.

Lilyni congrats and welcome to the Twins Club!

Oh Ecumenical, I'm in east Belfast and very near Ballyhackamore too! Jellybean tray bakes are yum!

Any of yous in Bangor leisure centre this evening wearing a mumsnet scarf?

Not me...but I do own a Mumsnet scarf. Although I bought it before it became famous on Mumsnet

Dizzy, oooh...we're practically neighbours! And how did I not know about amazing tray bakes on my doorstep? Tray bakes would be my Mastermind chosen specialised subject!

Oh I do love my MN scarf, brown leopard, if you please...

Brown leopard is the one I have :)

I wear it to death. My work colleagues must be sick of the sight of it.

Feeling the need to have another one in my life. Possibly the blue?

Ooh I'm in Belfast too :waves frantically: i have a dd 7 and ds 2. Excited for a norn iron thread!

Think we should all meet up in Belfast and go out on the lash!

Wow can't believe so many from east Belfast.. I am too!! 'ecumenical' when's your 20 wk scan?? I'm looking forward to mine on Monday!! Good to see a Belfast threat, it seems when u comment on the larger threads... Ie, antenatal, you are only graced with a reply if your a regular poster!!

Oh sorry, forgot so many of you are pregnant!

BlackLashes...I'm up for going out on the lash when I'm able to drink again.

scampbell...another eastie! I actually had my scan yesterday but have to go back again in 2 weeks as they couldn't get all the measurements that they needed. A little disappointing but at least I get to see the little one again :) Good luck for Monday! Hope yours is more co-operative and less camera shy than mine.

Ecumenical I hope so and being a bit optimistic that they will tel us the sex but with it being the ulster I'm not holding out much hope!

Don't get your hopes up...my SiL has had all 3 of her kids in the Ulster and wasn't once told the sex.

Hi all

Sorry not been around, have a horrid cold and very busy with work.

Maybe not a lash but maybe we can do something with kids? I'm open for ideas!

Ooo i am in East Belfast too! 2 small boys. Soft play place near Connswater closed down last year. Best local bet is Mookie world or Ikea if over 3 years old.

Maybe we should all meet in Ikea and put the little'uns in the free creche!

Ecumenical love to go out on the lash after baby's born.

Dropped off my list again...

Does everyone want to list what days they are free and we'll try to find a place and a time and everything?

With kids; Tuesday or Thursday.
Without kids; Friday. I usually work Monday and Wednesday but have been known to do other things instead. Advantage to being a freelancer!

im in east belfast too near ballyhack as well have 4kids 3 at school and a lb who is 8mths, work 1 massive day a week and really need to get out and about. did try mookie world last week it had little tyke walkies for lo's and obviuosly soft play area for toddlers/younger children also lush food

Hi Lynne!

Where's Mookie World?

Where is this Mookie World if which you speak?

Lynne! Another (almost) Ballyhack dweller!! Who knew there were so many Easties on Mumsnet?

hey girls mookie world is at the omniplex, dundonald, has toddler section with small slide and another section for bigger kids, very friendly and nothing like indianna land which i cant stand, they have a small coffee area which sells lots of differnt foods for adults/kids, i loved the fact they had those little tykes for babies my lb luved it

Conversation seems to have died again!

How are all of our pregnant ladies?

Husband just sent me a text...WH Smiths in Belfast City Centre is closing and already has a sign sending people to Eason for books and newspapers.

Hi again - this fell off my 'threads you're on' list, and just remembered to look for it this morning. My, my, you've all been very busy - and I am definitely up for a meet-up

Hope all the pregnant ladies are still enjoying the nicest bit with all the energy, and none of the massive weight gain yet

And Black Lashes - Ikea sounds like a brill idea. I often sometimes use their crèche as free childcare so I can get a quiet cup of coffee. Maybe we could all meet downstairs with the Mumsnet scarf...

Fell off my list...oops.

Hope everyone is well. Was in WHSmith a couple of weeks ago Tee and noticed they seemed to have a lot less stock than normal. Did wonder if they were closing.

Nothing strange or unusual here, hope everyone else is keeping well!
