Just a quick (and long overdue) intro as the Falkirk Tsarina!

Hopefully we'll get more going on in our area!

Is it really full on? I am really not that fit! Also is it very expensive? Not sure how DH would feel about having to pay for a class on top of the gym. It does sound fun though. How long is it btw?

MinaLoy · 12/01/2009 20:23

It costs three something...

It is full-on. Alan has had rugby players leave his mixed class halfway through because they're feeling nauseous, that's how strenuous it is! And he sometimes does a one-off "partners welcome" class, when the men all flake out.

But, like I said before, people do work at their own pace (ie cheat!) and it's a great laugh. It's the cameraderie that keeps me going, TBH.

Stefka · 12/01/2009 20:45

Ha I like the idea of the partners class - can just imagine DH trying to get through that.

If I am feeling brave I might give it a go on Friday.

MinaLoy · 12/01/2009 20:58

Yeah Friday would be the soonest I could make it, that's if i haven't completely terrified myself out of it by telling you lot how hard it is! Friday would be my first time back since pre-Christmas.........

Stefka · 12/01/2009 21:47

I went to the gym once last week - it hurt. Hope to get my lazy backside there tomorrow but I am not making any promises!

Going to try for story time on Wednesday too. You guys have made me all busy.

Stefka · 14/01/2009 15:46

Thanks again for telling us about story time. Dareh had a great time today and is peekabooing all over the place now.

justneedsomesleep · 14/01/2009 22:30

Glad you both enjoyed it! Hope to see you there next week!

MinaLoy · 15/01/2009 14:17

Hi ladies; yes that was fun, meeting my first two mumsnetters - Stefka you hit the nail on the head when you said it was like going on a blind date!

See you soon I hope!

mummyto2princes · 18/01/2009 21:20

Hi,
Found some falkirk mums! New to this site. have two boys 13 weeks and 4 years thought i would say hello! Im in stenhousemuir and work as an early years officer but loving my mat leave and spending time with my two boys.

MinaLoy · 19/01/2009 17:36

Hello and welcome to the Falkirk thread! It's nice to see activity on these pages isn't it? has anyone else seen posters for a new toddler group at St Andrews Church on a Thursday? I'm contemplating it...

gscrym · 19/01/2009 17:49

Where are you in Stenhousemuir Mummyto2princes, I'm there too.

MinaLoy · 19/01/2009 17:58

I'm know I'm very sad but.......I'm really getting a big kick from seeing "Falkirk Local" on the Active Convos page, so really I'm just bumping this!

Stefka · 20/01/2009 10:05

I am sad too because I also like seeing the thread active! Not see then posters for the toddler group although I think Dareh is a bit young yet. Won't be long though I don't think as he took two very tiny steps the other day.

mummyto2princes · 20/01/2009 18:49

hi minaloy im in arthurs drive in stenhousemuir where r u lynette x

mummyto2princes · 20/01/2009 18:50

sorry just realised it was gscrym that asked where i was doh!

justneedsomesleep · 21/01/2009 18:46

Hi guys,
thought i'd add that i went to the toddlers at st andrews when alyssa was very little - seemed very nice but think i was too shell-shocked to appreciate it!
Also a very good one at Larbert East Church on a Monday morning which I'll be starting around March time. Children have to be about 17-18 months old to start.

No storytime for me today as we are all sick/recovering from illness......

Stefka · 22/01/2009 08:37

Ahh wondered where you were! We popped along to story time today but Dareh was more interested in looking out the window. Ah well what can you do!

saraloui · 22/01/2009 11:20

Hi Stefka - if it was Meeks Road surgery then it was probably me, Ishbel fine now. I haven't looked at these pages for a while as I've been on hoiday, I seem to have missed a lot. I've used the creche at the Mariner since Ishbel was 5 weeks old, she goes in there while I take my toddler to minigym, it's great and the ladies who run it are lovely.

saraloui · 22/01/2009 11:23

Ooops - I mean I've been on holiday not hoiday!

Stefka · 22/01/2009 15:00

Yes it was meeks road - I remember you saying you had moved up from Cornwall and talking to you about St Ives. Glad she is all better now!

mummyto2princes · 22/01/2009 21:52

hiya - just to say i was at st andrews church baby group today-was quite nice quite a few people there also a toddler area upstairs which was well resources and the ladies organising it were very helpful. Also was at falkirk free church on mon afternnon and was really good - lots of mums and babies/toddlers and everyone very friendly.

thatsnotmymonster · 23/01/2009 14:55

Hi ladies, sorry not been on here for a while. The creche at the Mariner sounds fab- do you have to book?

I would love to meet up with anyone (my 3 are nearly 4, 2.5 and 9mths). I live in Whitburn so don't really hand out in Falkirk tho I have been to soft play there before.

Also, we are trying to rent out our spare room. It's a double bedroom. If anyone knows of anyone who might be interested could you let me know? I would need to take references.
It will be £65 pw.

Thanks

MinaLoy · 23/01/2009 15:45

Well done Dareh! Get walking and then you can come to the St Andrews Church toddler group!

We went yesterday and it was great. Song, story, snack, lots of friendly people.

Shall we all try to go to Storytime at Falkirk library on Wednesday? Wearing "cod" badges to be recognisable to one another!

MinaLoy · 23/01/2009 16:12

Hi thatsnotmymonster, no you don't have to book the creche at the Mariner, it's first come first served, but in eighteen months we've never been turned away, so it's usually fine! Their phone number is (01324) 503750.

mummyto2princes · 23/01/2009 17:19
