Hello Dundee and surrounding areas!

[Klaw]

Hello MNetters!

Anyone live local?

Tayside, Angus, Perth & Kinross, North Fife?

Hiya Klaw

I'm in Perth, whereabouts are you.

P

Hiya
I'm in East Fife if that counts?

Alyth here, but soon (hopefully) to be moving to North Fife.

Hi FromGirders, we've spoken before, I recall now....

Perigrine, I'm just outside Forfar

I volunteered to be the Dundee Tsarina and have done bugger all very little except delete a double entry. >

Have you ladies got any suggestions so we can pad the Local site out a bit? and tell all your local friends to come and say hello!

Klaw, I used to live in Kirrie. In fact we has a lovely day out at the Den during the holidays.

I have added a couple of things to the local things to do, but hey - I was sensible enough not to volunteer myself as a Tsarina !

i live in dundee hello

Perigrine, it seemed like a good idea at the time.....

Hello Clayre!! How are you?

I'm from dundee, newbie to the site, have two GORGEOUS children ;) (aren't they all lol)
ds 6 & dd 2

work full time and also starting my own business part time so I can STOP WORKING in my current job!!!

any suggestions for what to do over the winter months? dd & ds love to be outdoors but its soooo cold just now and its not even "real" winter yet, any suggestions apart from soft play etc?

Hi too all local mums!

Fish,

My kids spent 2 hours in the Fergusson Gallery in Perth today, and had to be dragged away for lunch. (and my kids love food). The staff were great and were very hands on,

They are 5 amd 9, so might be worth a try. Also loads of nice Cafes in Peth for LUnch

Hi all, I am also in Dundee. Currently on ML and loving it! DS is 17 weeks.

Hey guys!
I'm in Dundee, trying to do the whole work from home thing to avoid childcare nightmares.
Mind you it brings its own style of nightmares
How about we start a thread with details of our favorite places to go? Is it possible to run a vote?
I'm going to start a thread with my favorite parks, anyone else want to join in?

Hi Dingdong! I visited the Botanic garden for the first time last week (have lived here 6.5 years !) and it was very good + pram friendly. Maybe you could introduce me to some other good parks round here? Only really know Camperdown/Balgay.

Hi pinkpussycat!
6.5 years is nthing- I grew up here and I don't think I ever went to the botanical garden before I had my J
It's a god one though, I've started a thread called favourite parks so do you fancy popping it in there?
Where do you live and do you drive? That'll help me think of any other good parks for you.
What brought you to Dundee?
x

Hi there DD! I actually stay in Longforgan, came here for dh's job. Yes I do drive (thank God!) so getting around is no problem. Will nip over to that other thread you mentioned ...... maybe see you there...!

DD, could you do me a link to the favourite parks thread? It's not showing up in the search thingy. Or am I just being thick?

Hello Fish45, Iliveinhope, PinkPussyCat, DingDong05!

Nice to see you all here!

Tell your mates, tell your neighbours!

LOL PPC, there's only 2 threads on our local boards
This should take you right there though

I've discovered "watch thread" doodahs which are great as I always loose interesting discussions on boards like these

i thought i was the only person on here that lived in dundee, hi all

Hello again Clayre! Keep posting

My usual name is Klaw but I've got my Christmas outfit on just now!

am thinking for you Clayre, can you hear the cogs turning.....

S L O W L Y...?

Been wracking my brains for stuff to do, and as usual come up with very little, as I don't do that much, due to being very skint, spending too much time online and being very wary of the cold and rain!

I take dd to Toddler group on a Weds afternoon and Gym Teds on a Tuesday morning, and while I have a working car will try to go to NCT coffee morning.

Apart from that all I do is go to MSLC meetings once a month or so...

Dingdong05, what do you do from home then? [mosey emoticon]

and Fish45, what are your home working plans?

another mumsnetter thought for me! such a nice place here.

Oh, good, I can stop now, my brain was beginning to hurt.... I'm not that much good either. Fortunately my Xmas name was so easy to come up with!!! I'm gonna win the Xmas name competition, doncha know!

So Clayre, tell me more about you please

not really much yo tell, quite borning really, 25 year old sahm with 2 kids, spend my days going back and forth to the nursery, cooking and cleaning, occasionally i see dp, he works lots and out of town.

What about you?

I'm a 40 SAHM with a 14 yr old boy and 2.5 year old girl, dp is self employed and works 24/7 till very late so I know how you feel...

I've done my training to be a Doula so am waiting for some local mums to give me the call!! Have had two ladies in Aberdeen to support so far.

Am desperate to be TTC before it gets very much later but dp is too busy and stressed, hopefully after we get property issues settled...

Moved to near Forfar to get away from the sh1te undesirables in Stobswell, but liked Dundee for not being too big but having enough things to do.
