help me meet new people

[aranrea1]

Hi,

I am a 28 year old mum to a 8 month old boy Rhys and have just moved to Stanway from Wales.

Trying to meet other mums for coffee & chat + play mates for Rhys.

Please help me.

Hi!
i live in Stanway too and i am 30 with a 18 months old boy. Im sure we can meet up for a coffee sometimes.xxx

Hi
We have meetups every so often - probably due another soon and you would be more than welcome to come along. Im in Braiswick and have a 3yr old DS and a 12 day old DD.

Is your DS settling into school? Whereabouts in Wales have you moved from? My DH was born in Cardiff.

Hi. I hope you are enjoying living in Stanway and you are all settling in. I am not far away from you either and I'd be happy to meet up. I am not straying too far from home at the moment as I am due DC3 very soon.

It has been quite quiet on here recently, but normally we do get together quite frequently if we can...perhaps you'll trigger someone to arrange a meet up.

Do you drive? Have you tried the local Toddler Groups? There is one in Stanway on a Wednesday I think and also one in Copford on a Friday morning. I know the Copford one is quite friendly, as I used to go regularly when DS and DD were small.

I know what it is like moving when you have such a young child. I moved here when DS was 9 months old and I found it hard to meet people. I am from the area so I had friends here but they all worked and I really missed adult contact in the day. I really found the first meet up daunting, but once I had met everyone and knew their real names, it made life so much easier. I really hope you manage to meet more people as I imagine that it can be tough being so far from what you are familiar with.

Pooter I hope aranrea1 hasn't sent her 8 month old to school . Perhaps you'll be sending DD soon then

Hi aranrea,

I have one DS, 3 years, and DD is also 8 months. Am thinking of sending her to school soon too haha, sorry Pooter! Would be lovely to meet you. Am happy to host soon, will give me good excuse to tidy the place! I am in Kelvedon, so not too far. Do you drive?

Mung, when are you due? Hope you are feeling ok. Oh the memories of the last weeks of struggling to move around.

New strategy(sp?)for the HE'ers......Send the under 1's to school,and keep the Pre-schoolers at home.Now that would be interesting....

Hello Aranrea I live in Myland,Colchester,and have 3 DC's.We are a friendly group,and it would be nice to meet you soon.

Hey - im doing this whilst breastfeeding and typing with one hand -i read it as 'years' - why, i dont know!

As you can see its half past two in the morning - have just got DD to sleep and can hear DS waking and doing a bit of whinging. oh, here he is. yipee.....

We forgive you Pooter...
Hope you managed to get some sleep!

hi im nicki and new to this site. i also live in colchester and have a 8 half month little girl. Im also looking to find a nice mum and baby group or fun music and movement classes. would like to meet other mums for coffee & chat. im 33 and other half working so need sum adult company.

Hi Nicki. Welcome to Colchester Mumsnet. We really ought to arrange a meet up some time soon so the new people can begin to meet some more local mums.

I can recommend an excellent music and moovement class that is on at the Hythe Community Centre. My children love it and have been going for a while now. Do you drive, as its not very central, but it is possible to get there by bus.

Hi Aranrea,

I too have moved from Wales to Stanway!!! and also 28. I have a 7 week old little girl called Poppy. It would be lovely to meet up, perhaps we could go to a baby/toddler group together? Let me know.
