Hello

[LillethTheCat]

Just thought Id say in the hope that there is someone near me Im near Richmond, North Yorkshire if anyone is my way. Id love to have a group meet-up.

BTW I should say Ive got red hair and will have a 17MO old with me. If I look tired it's because said 17MO is teething and is not happy ATM

PS Im not actually a cat

Good to know as I was concerned whether you'd get past the array of dogs usually tethered up outside!

I'll come along and show my face. I've also got red hair, and will be bringing along my 5 1/2 month old DS.

Where exactly will we be meeting? I've had a look on the station website but get the impression it's quite a big place. Thanks!

It's not really. How about just outside the door? You can park for free if you have a blue disc I can pick a couple up if anyone needs one? Though you might be able to get them from the station

Great, I'll see you by the door in the morning then!

Absolutely gutted, but I am not going to be able to make this one; I have the local Homestart coordinator bringing my newly-assigned volunteer to meet me this morning at 10:00am. I have baby twins and am trying desperately to restore my house to its pre-twin level of tidyness. Probably not realistic in the 3 hours a week that the volunteer will be here, but it's worth a go! Have a lovely meet, and I definitely catch you all for the next one!

Ah that's a shame Catbag. I say shove everything under the stairs/washing machine to provide impression of serene and tidy house.

Oh no Catbag Will definately arrange another one soon.

So are we looking to arrange a bigger meet up at some point then?

Im thinking Northallerton as its a bit more middle North Yorkshire. How's that for people?

I dont know Northallerton at all, but Ive been told there's a Barton Cafe or The Golden Lion?

Any thoughts?

Northallerton good for me. Is it Barkers cafe you are thinking of Lilleth?

There is also a soft play place for those with mobile tots. It is called Kidzplay on standard way industrial estate. Think that is just before you get into town if you are coming from Darlington.

Hope everyone is ok. I survived my first week back at work relatively unscathed. The joy of having an entire cup of tea that isn't cold! Secretly though, I would have rather been eating biscuits with the boy

I dont know, it was where Something mentioned to me in PM the other day.

I was thinking of Northallerton to be a bit more central for anyone else in North Yorkshire, though I think thread this has died off a bit now . When I did have an idea of when and where I thought that a message in chat would be a good idea. Something along the lines of X place at X time on X day there are a few of us there, anyone in the area is welcome to come. The title will be Northallerton meet-up.

Just need ideas of where to go really. I dont know it at all.

Yes, it was Barkers I meant - sorry, must have been auto-correct.

Kids play might suit more people (those with mobile children) so sounds a good idea.

OohTrifle I'm glad your first week back went well - the hardest part is over at least!

Thanks something! Hope you are all ok. We need to win the lottery to stop all thoughts of having to return to poxy work. I also seem to have caught the lurgy while away at work and have applied so much Vicks tonight that while I still can't smell it, it's making my chest hot and my eyes water. Clearly it's going to be my new perfume!

Fingers crossed some people wander back onto this thread. Tea and cake and play should always be a winner!

Sorry Ive not been around. Was having internet problems, going to put a new thread in Chat about a meet up in Northallerton to see what interest might be
