Hello Dundee and surrounding areas!

[Klaw]

Hello MNetters!

Anyone live local?

Tayside, Angus, Perth & Kinross, North Fife?

Hi

Pinkpussycat my ds3 will be 1 this july. How olds your lo?

Minipinkscottish its intriguing to know if you know who i am. Don't know what else i could say to give it away. My boys are called Kyle, Cameron and Innes you've probably heard me screaming after them when they've all went different directions

HooHoo

Don't think we've ever spoken but I think I've seen you at school dropping of ds at nursery. I've seen the black Zaffira - I have a silver one!!

I am at school with dd on Thurs and Fri as I don't work then. I am part time principal teacher at Freuchie now. Left 'muchty about 2 years ago. Was your ds at nursery last year? Mornings? If so maybe there with dd - Taylor xx

Hi all - sorry for hoohoo and I going on a bit xxx

Definately up for summer picnic and the more the merrier xx maybe if we warn them we're coming they will make more strawberry tarts especially xx

Mpc he was in the afternoons. yeah don't think we spoken i'm shy when talking to new people, but will prob see you this week up at the school.

All you ladies can share my strawberry tart at the picnic, i'm trying to shift the baby weight.......from DS1

Hello! Can I join you too? I'm in St Andrews. I've got a DD who's 2 next week and currently pg with no. 2, due in August.

Hi Dizzy! [waves] I found you!

yipee, welcome on board poppy

Hi Poppysocks!

hoohoo My ds will also be 1 in July! Are you on the July '07 post-natal thread? Haven't been on it myself in ages though... must get back to it, starting to feel bad! The girls on there are lovely-

Here

Mmmm... tummy rumbling already at the thought of strawberry tarts. I am off to Botanics this afternoon (before it's bulldozed) for some sort of delicious traybake

(Stop drooling, dizzy!)

Ah PPC enjoy botanics traybakes, have to fess up to a malteser traybake yesterday at heritage park down visiting family - that and a steak and onion panini and chips
have hopefully managed to walk some of it off this morning

Welcome Poppysocks.

Maybe a botanics MN meeting is in order, so we can all stuff our faces with traybakes meet each other.

actually I think we should make a list of all the decent homebaking suppliers child friendly spots and work our way round them, would be rude not to

ROFL @ dizzy's 'most wanted pie shop' list!
What a great idea I must say though, steak & onion panini + chips sounds fandabbydozy

Botanics was lovely... carrot cake + latte went down very easily.

omh, who mentioned pies?!?! no am going to have to start listing pie shops too?!?!

just got a receipe for malteser tray back (I blame YOU PPC) so will let you know how I get on with it later - maybe could open up Dizzy Cakes store - only people with buggies/stretch marks welcome
xx

Or what about diversifying into Dizzy's Deli? New York style, obv

lol - it took me AGES to work all those out when I first moved up here from land of weeg!

now who mentioned NY I should only have been arriving back this morning from my wkend away - still not over it worse things happen at sea I suppose!

I am not even from Dundee lol! Only lived here a few years!

NY is my favourite place in the world! How come you didn't get to go dizzy?

I went in 2004 for long weekend with bestfriend for my henny - my cousin lived out there at time so not quite as indulgent as sounds! Dh always wanted to go so we decided to really treat ourselves for one last weekend away before we have 3kids, slight complication with pg anc consultant grounded me, literally - no flying!! should have been there Thurs - today
some things just not worth chancing though!

means I can't go on oober rich cousins henny in St Anton in March either, and it was sponsored by oober rich cousin's daddy I know I can't ski at moment but I could have lounged next to roaring fire and checked out traybakes for afternoon tea!!!

your accent is pretty good for a non dundonian chick

Aaah of course dizzy, I did know that from earlier in the thread (baby brain!) Apologies. What a bummer though. We went over when I was 24 wks and it was great, I got extra-special treatment on the plane from a very camp steward It was our last holiday as just a 'twosome'. Luckily I'd had a very straightforward pregnancy though.
We're off to a cottage in Drumnadrochit this April - almost as good eh?
Btw hope you are managing to take it easy. I bet your dh worries about you when he's at work - mine did + I had no problems at all!

I am originally from Stirling but have lived here for nearly 7 years now. How long since you left The Weeg?

oh god now you're asking, came up here in 1994 to go to uni so 13yrs - oh my god am old

go home now and then to get the old patter back though

we're looking at somewhere to take the kids, that doesn't require a plane, at some point so let me know how you get on or any other suggestions welcome!!

Dizzy, have a look here we have used this company twice now, their cottages are fab. They are lovely + friendly in terms of service, great at answering queries etc. Give them a go!

btw I love the 'gallus Glesga banter' a la 'Chewin the Fat'!

lol, my mum is Mary and dad is Bob so when I used to write home from uni I would always address it to Rab C and Mary Doll - she hated it, I think she thinks she's more of a Mrs Hyacinth Bucket!! have had to translate Chewin the Fat to irish dh who now loves it even more than I do!
will check out the cottages thank you

Helllooooo.......

You there DizzyNesbit?

yipee, I thought I had totally lost this thread - was even posting for klaw on the pregnancy board, she'll think am complete pillock!!

how are you PPC - not blowing away in these sodding winds I hope?!?
x

Yes I posted you a link on your Klaw/preg thread too Lol! What are you like!

We are lying low today, I keep thinking the weather will improve but it's just so blustery out there. Drove to my parents' yesterday (in Stirling, hadn't seen forecast) and it was REALLY scary, the car got blown about quite a bit etc. And I had 7mo ds in the back, was nearly crying a couple of times. Silly cow eh?

Hope you are ok - resting up?

don't think you're silly at all - wouldn't dare comment as I think its an achievement if I remember to breath coming over the bridge when its this windy, normally get to the end and think 'something's not right' and then realise its because have held my breath the entire way

I swear the link had disappeared!!! It only came back on this afternoon - maybe dh has been on and removed it all to try to get me back into RL!?!?!?

resting up but going bananas with it too - met friend in borders today for quick coffee but sh would only let me out an hr before dc had to be picked up from nursery so I wouldn't be, and I quote 'fannying about in the shops'

Hi, just wanted to say I'm checking the local stuff all the time. I hardly ever post, but am on MN everyday. I just spending hours reading 'active convo's'!

I'd join you for a summer picnic, or Easter (the fortnight hols in April not the long weekend) if anyone's brave enough? I'm Dundee/Perth (with many Fife connections), 2ds 5 and nearly 3.
