Hello! I am originally from the Central Belt but have lived just north of Inverness since 2001, I often wonder how many mumsnetters are in this neck of the woods, cos these local boards are soooo quiet.

come on, say hello and lets see how many of us there are.

Hello again - I'm south of Inverness, but not as south as Wallace. Sorry I couldn't make Bumbles. I won't be able to make this one either if it's so soon. It sucks having to go to work .

I'm going to be on leave first week of December if anyone fancies a third meetup...

jenaegi · 09/11/2008 22:34

Thanks, DH due home on friday, but will definately bear in mind in future!

Flier · 09/11/2008 22:35

Hello Twinkle - Would you like to organise a meetup for December?

Hi everyone, I'm here & local. And what's more, don't see why I couldn't manage a meet-up on Friday morning!! Usually do my Tesco shopping then, but 10am is early enough, so could squeeze in shopping afterwards & before lunch, I'm sure. I've been in contact with you Flier before (think you bought a wee hat off me), so you'll know where I'm at.

Anyway, got a dd who is 3 tomorrow and ds who is 20mo today.

I'm sure there must be more hiding highlanders (or at least ppl living in the area!).

IAteMakkaPakka · 10/11/2008 20:29

Now they're coming out of the woodwork!

The wee one and I are both full of the snots just now but I'm sure we'll have recovered (and won't be infectious) by Friday.

Meet at Runaround at ten-ish or is that a bit early for you guys?

thebluefoxategreensocks · 10/11/2008 20:33

Yeah, 10am will be fine for me!

I'm excited about a meet up that isn't very far away! Wanted to go to the Bumbles one, but rather far for me since I don't have a driving license (well a US one, but not UK - so can only drive when husband is in the car!).

Flier · 10/11/2008 21:45

hello again, rachelinscotland, glad to see that you can make it .

Wallace has gone quiet on you, makkapakka

Wallace · 11/11/2008 06:17

Sorry I'm back, makkapakka. I think I'll give this friday a miss, sorry.

Ds2 has had a D&V bug and now I've got it (fairly mildy thank goodness) Now the other kids will probably come down with it I'd rather say no now, than say yes and let people down at the last minute.

Flier · 11/11/2008 14:40

bump in case there are any highlanders online at this time of day

Hello! I'm in the highlands, but much further north than most of you it seems! Don't think I could make a meet up unless I got up and on the road fairly early!! I'm just south of Dunnet, and dc are 8, 6, 4 & very nearly 2.

Flier · 11/11/2008 17:38

Hello mummyupnorth, have you discovered any other mumsnetters up as far north as you?

rachelinscotland, did you ever put a stairgate on freecycle?

Flier · 11/11/2008 21:59

highland fling bump

thebluefoxategreensocks · 11/11/2008 22:39

LOL MakkaPakka! Was it a stairgate that needed the fittings for it, or something like that? Seems I did give one of those to someone on Freecycle - for their dog, if I remember correctly tho! Surely someone hasn't spotted me! LOL

IAteMakkaPakka · 11/11/2008 22:44

We've met then

And thanks

thebluefoxategreensocks · 11/11/2008 23:42

LOL How did you work out it was me??!

MommyUpNorth · 12/11/2008 07:01

Nope, I don't think anyone is this far north. I've tried contacting the NCT as well, but still just as far as Inverness (and maybe a tiny bit further north).

I'll keep an eye on this topic though as we are in Inverness every now and again for various things!

IAteMakkaPakka · 12/11/2008 08:44

I was sure I recognised you from your profile and the locality matched up [stalker]

MommyupNorth - there was a MNer from way way up there called Miaou but she's not on here now

thebluefoxategreensocks · 12/11/2008 09:12

I seeee....yeah pic would give me away! LOL
