East Devon mums...is anybody out there?!

Hi! I would love to make the East Devon group active and organise a meet-up but I'm a little worried there might not be any East Devon mums yet.

If you are from East Devon (so Exmouth, Sidmouth, Seaton, Clyst St Mary, Honiton, Ottery St Mary and thereabouts!) would love to hear from you.

I know some local mums - but they are Mumsnet virgins - so in the end, it would just be a get together, rather than a Mumsnet gathering! Would like to bring some new people together.

Hope to hear from you soon. Smile

Hi!
I don't live in East Devon (I'm in South Devon), but I'm over that way at least once a week & I'd love to join you....

LocalEditorDevon · 15/11/2013 19:37

Hi Eggflipped - thanks so much for getting in touch Smile. I have a feeling we may have met at the Playdough Club? I'm editing the website with Gina. We must meet at Bicton Park some time... I will keep you posted on whether I manage to set up a group or not.

Hi there, I moved to Sidmouth in August with my 9 year old daughter and would be interested in a meet-up!

clioann · 19/11/2013 19:43

Hi Janmax, Thanks for your message. Great to hear you're keen for a meet up. There's a lovely lady hoping to come on board as Local Ambassador for East Devon in the New Year - so we can start to get some meet ups organised. In the meantime, we're doing a Devon wide meet up/Christmas party in Haldon Forest - Thursday 12 December 10am-12pm. Would be great to see you and EggFlipped (and any other East Devon mums) there... More details to follow!

Hello all! I will be moving to Ottery St Mary next year, hopefully by Easter depending on builders! Look forward to meeting you all!

Hi :) We have just moved to Newton Poppleford from Cornwall and I am looking for people who would like to meet up or any good local groups. We have found a few things but with Immy my 21 month toddler and another due in September I could do with some friendly folk to have a chin wag too :)
Looking forward to hearing from you x

clioann · 06/04/2014 13:36

Hi LaDay and BethandImmy! I haven't yet planned an East Devon gathering - but there seem to be a few people interested - and I've met some local ladies too - so could definitely get a group together. Would be lovely to do something now the weather is (slowly) improving.
BethandImmy - we are in a similar situation: I have a 21 month old toddler too, called Tom, and No.2 is due in July. Hope the move went well and you're settling in.
Will keep you posted on a get together x

Hi am new to mums net I've lived in East devon all my life but two years ago moved to seaton and away from family had my little girl and have struggled to make new friends is there anyone out there in the same boat?

FudgeyCookie · 07/04/2014 19:49

Hi Beth I'm not far from you! I'm in Sidmouth. I used to be a Newton pop girl so know the village well! I have a 19month old little girl too so roughly the same age as your little one :)

Hi brides I'm not to far from seaton, how are you finding it :)

BethandImmy · 09/04/2014 14:53

Clioann- Yes settling in well thanks. Just been away visiting friends so I'm having the great task of catching up on washing etc today :/. Would be great to have a get together or if you fancy a play date with our little ones let me know :)
Brides- I am in a similar position at the moment ,being the new Mum at every group but hopefully will meet up with some of you from here :)
Fudgeycookie- That's great you live close, would be lovely to get our girls together and have a chat sometime :)

FudgeyCookie · 14/04/2014 21:21

That would be great Beth. Not sure whether it's something you'd be interested in, but in Sidmouth on either Good Friday or Easter Sunday, they hand out hot cross buns (and used to be an orange and a cream egg!) to little ones, it's a bit of a tradition. I loved it web I was little :) just something to do if you want to get out in this glorious weather!

singingk · 15/04/2014 23:03

BethandImmy · 16/04/2014 21:03

That sounds lovely and would be something I would usually be intetested in but we are down in Cornwall for Easter weekend. Would be great to meet up when we get back :)

tiredbuthappy3 · 16/04/2014 22:45

Hi everyone.

We're moving to Budleigh next month and would be really interested in meeting up. I have a 15 month old daughter who loves playing with other toddlers. Please keep us posted if you do manage to sort something out. :)

FudgeyCookie · 18/04/2014 10:52

That would be great Beth. Hope you have a nice time away!

Tired, Budleigh isn't to far from here and again my little ones not much different in age to yours :)

clioann · 21/04/2014 21:00

I'm going to look into starting up a Meet-up group and organise a get together. I'll keep you posted. x

clioann · 27/04/2014 20:52

Hi again, I've started up a meet-up group - please come and join it: local.mumsnet.com/devon/group-meet-ups/east-devon
We can then get a date in our diaries for a meet-up soon...

Hi all. Will join in the local meet up group but also just wanted to say hi.....I'm moving from edinburgh to near exmouth in July and know nobody.....bit daunting! I have two daughters, aged 2 and 6 months and would love to meet some other mums, my email is [email protected] or on Facebook search claire Arrowsmith if anyone wants to give me a shout. X

LocalEditorDevon · 29/05/2014 11:22

We're planning a meet up for June - come over to local.mumsnet.com/devon/group-meet-ups/east-devon if you'd like to get involved. We're just coming up with the best date and location...

BethandImmy · 04/06/2014 09:15

Sorry FudgeyCookie I was getting email alerts if a message was added but obviously that stopped working! :/ Would still be great to meet up or if the east group meets first I'll see you there :)
