Back by popular demand... anyone free for a cup of tea, or glass of wine?

[LocalEditorNottingham]

... with cake?

After a lovely meet-up in July and quite a few people saying they'd like to come another time, it seems time to arrange that other time.

How does Thursday 18th September sound to anyone?

Cake? Oh... MEEE!!

Is everyone really busy finishing their hols and getting the DCs back to school?

...Or does this tell us something about the relative attractiveness of vs in the title?

Right then, I've changed the title to include wine!

If other dates would be better we can discuss that too. Then we'll get onto venue.

Ok, definitely time to talk about other dates now

Oh... wine

Can do other dates, work is bonkers! at the moment

Looks like it's just you and me LadyMary (where's everyone else gone since July? Is there something they're not telling us?)

How about we try to set a date, then other people are very welcome to join us? (Maybe if we just remind them there'll be and and too!)

Thursdays are stilll best for me, or maybe Friday mornings.

Hello ladies I would like to join you !
Would be vv grateful if you could PM your plans ??

I could join too if that's ok?

Thursdays after work in town is good - Friday morning I have a wee one I need to collect from nursery, so probably not so good

Hi All, I have a brand new little one (2 weeks old) and would love to join your next wine/coffee and cake meet up if you're planning one in a few weeks? :)

Hi All,

Lovely to hear from you!

LadyMary and I had talked about doing alternate, or ad hoc, daytime and evening meet-ups (see the previous 'free for a glass of wine' thread). I'd envisaged this as a daytime one - but am open to suggestion, or to doing both soonish.

Shall we start by finding out which days people are free in the next couple of weeks?

Venue-wise, I'd thought of the cafe at Nottingham Contemporary, as it's relaxed, good for babies - spacious, plenty of high chairs, good changing facilities - and offers all the requisite comestibles Open to suggestion on that too of course.

This keeps dropping from my 'threads I'm on'

Thursdays are good for me too Could do the 30th as I'm free all day (which is very rare)

The 30th would work for me, anyone else?

Ohh... (or ).

I think we're just going to have to fix the date LadyMary and hope others can join us. (Please do - and no need to commit in advance, just turn up. The more people eating together, the better, IMO!)

Is the 30th still ok? What time's best for you? Anything between 10.30 and 3.30 works for me.

30th will be fab, I've made sure I have the day off Not too early, I need as much beauty sleep as I can get. How about 11:30am?

PLEASE feel free to bring your DC. Childcare is an absolute nightmare and costs a kidney and the more cake eaters the better I'm trying to diet

Great, see you there - cafe at Nottingham Contemporary - at 11.30am on the 30th Oct

We should be ok before the lunchtime rush but I'll try to be a bit early. Then we have the full range of lunch and options available!

It will be half-term, which means the gallery runs free drop-in family workshops 11-3 in 'The Space', on the same floor as the cafe (see our Half-term listings for details )

So, if anyone is thinking of bringing children, you can always entertain them there for a bit and won't feel your whole trip is wasted if they don't want to sit with us for very long.

Oh, I love gallery drop ins Means we can be creative and I don't have to scrape glue off my floor!

Could I come along with my little one? We haven't had much time to get out and meet other mummies and babies and the same another friend of mine if she is free

Of course you can You'll be very welcome, the more the merrier bring your friend and your mum, neighbour, person from the checkout at your local shop

Ohhh I had hoped to come last time but my ds was tiny and I was a bit ambitious! Hes now 15 weeks and generally a bit nicer will hope to meet you on Thursday!

Oh, that's a lovely age. I remember ds being this tiny, he was adorable. He's 15 now and trying to grow a moustache. I've no idea how the hell that happened

It would be lovely to meet you all

Hi I've only just discovered this site and looking to meet other mums as I'm a first time mum with a 5 month old baby and don't known any other mummy's really, so would it be alright if I could come along, if it's still happening?

Hi charl You'll be more than welcome to join us so please do come along.

Looking forward to meeting people in a little while and to !

For identification - I seem to be wearing mostly navy blue today, maybe a green cardigan. Brown shoulder-length hair, glasses. Will be looking out for people. Hope that helps

Back home. Hot chocolate, coffee and were consumed

Must do this / something, again before too long. Suggestions welcome
