Hello Dundee and surrounding areas!

[Klaw]

Hello MNetters!

Anyone live local?

Tayside, Angus, Perth & Kinross, North Fife?

KKLlllaaawwwwwwwwwwwww
REMEMBER TO PHONE YOUR FRIEND!!!

have called her to discuss possibilty of her dh having dd along with her kids while we go to Doula UK meeting tomorrow but he too busy...

She'll have dd for me so I can go but can I justify driving to Kilmacolm to drop off dd and then to centre of Edinburgh for a meeting?? At least if I do it, I'll stay over at hers on Sat night and drive back on Sunday, which means I can pick ds up from Bannockburn on way...

There's no one else can babysit dd, dp is out on the piss for Calcutta Cup and close family are out of country and friends are all too busy or else away...

Decisions, decisions,

Fuel expense is what's worryng me most

Hey guys, just thought I'd pop in and see how everyone's doing... so how're you doing? ?

I'm doing OK

How YOU doing?

Looking into Fairy Hammocks atm... TMI alert!!!

Fairy hammocks??? TMI???
Sigh, I really am not well versed in all this virtual speak

Fairy Hammocks also here on MN

TMI = Too Much Information

Thought you'd have known all about them!

I have heard of them, but not by that name!
They're fab, the last time I looked for them- for I have considered them before - there weren't that many around, and not called fairy hammocks!
I could do with some myself right now...
IFKWIM was another acronym I couldn't get

hi dingdong and everyone, just thought I'd check in!

getting lighter a bit longer these days which is nice but not looking forward to the forecast wintery weather for the easter weekend

Hey dizzy! I must have the memory of a goldfish because every day when it's light after 5pm I'm surprised
I do believe in the old adage "there's no such thing as he wrong weather, just the wrong clothes" but that has its limits when your walking in freezing rain and gale force winds. My word, I was freeeeezing by the time we got to nursery school!
I'd only just managed to defrost by the time I had to go get him again
grumblegrumble
lol

Do you have any plans fr the easter weekend? Apparently Camperdown is fab, but he queues to get in are horrendous. Actually, I may bike it!

am not sure yet as dh was meant to be off but as usual his work are mucking him about and all of a sudden he's working again
he's going to speak to his new boss at some point today and say as far as he's concerned he's off but we'll see - if nothing I may be forced to snaffle a whole load of easter eggs as compensation

Thought I would check in as well. The dundee section went very quiet for a bit there!
I think that I'll be taking my gang to Camperdown this weekend, weather permitting. Hopefully the queues arent too bad. Usually the camperdown thing brings the kingsway to a standstill though

Hi all! Glad this thread hasn't gone!! Hope you are all well!! I am 22 wks now and HUGE

Also thinking of Camperdown for Saturday - going to Easter party on Sunday. We have to work on Monday and our shools are not off on Monday either. We finish for holidays the week after Easter - crazy!!!

hi minipink, am only 21wks and huge too, all the rest on my antenatal threads are postingpics of lovely neat bumps where as I look about 31wks gone

hadn't considered camperdown for wkend as weather is meant to be terrible, my mum also has v important consultant apt on sat so depending on outcome of that will maybe need to go through there - would be nice if once in a while someone would offer to come through here, we're only in fife ffs not the end of the earth [humph]

is it on Sat as well as Sun, I thought it was only Sun?!? shows you how much I know lol

Never mind dizzy - we WILL all still have a meeting at Cairnie for strawbery tarts!! Wont be long now!! Are you able to get out now and have you changed your name??

I'm not going to Camperdown now as mum has decided to return from Spain so will spend some time with her.xx

I must actually phone them minipink and find out when they're open for normal business, am not adverse to getting the girls all cosied up and chucking them out in the elements!!

am allowed off lardy backside as long as sensible about it, another scan when am 28wks and back to work (gently) on 3rd April!!

Doubt I'll be venturing my little toe outside if the weather today is anything to go by....

I don't have the right clothes,

or the right blood.....

am a cauld tattie, me

can't bear the cold and, even more so, the wind! [brrrrrrrrrrrrrr]

Camperdown is only on the sunday- 12-4 (I think) free to get in, 2.50 for parking. I think I may have to check out the weather before committing myself to biking it...I know what you mean Klaw, it's been snowing for heavens sake!!!
On the subject of biking, I just fixed the child seat on my bike, hurrah!
"I am a strong and independant woman who knows her way around an allan key"

was snowing here too but just flurries thank goodness as bloke came out on friday and condemned out boiler and its now out of action until at least tues or wed when they can get new parts - its only 13months old ffs

We've got a child seat on dp's bike but I'm too scared to travel on roads that cars go on cos I know what numpties there are out there! Especially in Dundee
Ds and I used to cycle from Stobswell down the Ferry and back getting back up from the Ferry Road to the Arbroath Road was a bugger! hard work!

god well done you klaw, am lucky enough to be able to cycle into tentsmuir from here but not confident enough with child seat on bike!

ah no ds was on his own bike by that time...

I just feel so wary of losing control and smashing poor dd's head onto the road.... [exageration perhaps?]

must get more practice round the village this summer.

at the moment dd really needs ear muffs to travel on the rear bike seat. Can't find any
