I'm a new mum with a 7 week old DS. I'm used to working in Central London in quite a stressful job and so am all new to this SAHM stuff. Wondered if there were any other mums in the area who would like to meet up?

Hi everyone - is there a meet-up happening next week? I'd be up for it. DS is feeling much better now. Horniman's cafe would be good for me.

yes i think we should meet up on thursday, all those who can make it, do, if not no worries. the more the merrier but if no-one shows up, thats ok, i live near enough to enjoy the stroll to `horniman! i shall be there at one...my little boy will be wearing a green dragon suit, just so's you know who i am!! that place is baby-crazy and going round every group of mums asking if theyre from mumsnet is a lil awkward (i know, ive done it!).
see you at 1 ish.

Hi pogface - could we possibly make it a bit later? It's just that DS usually has his nap from 12-2. 2.30 would be great for me.

Hi Pogface - someone smashed the side of our car (and completely obliterated the wing mirror! ) at the weekend and so I've to wait for the garage guys to come and collect it tomorrow as my husband has got to go into work - he was going to wait in for them originally! Sorry for the short notice - this is the first chance I've had to get online today. I will definitely be around for the next meet-up - if you guys are still up for it! I hope you see this before you go!

Ah! Pogface! Don't feel blue! We WILL meet up! Next week could be a bit busy for me - but lets put one in the diary for the week after. People, lets get this together! Tuesdays and Thursday mornings are not good for me, but other than that I should be able to do any day (afternoons after 2-2.30 are prob best for me...

Cool. I'll be there at around 2.30 next Thursday - I am putting it in my diary right now! I'll wrap a bright pink scarf round the handle of the buggy so you can recognise me!

bb, have you tried Asquith Court nursery on Chancellor Grove in West Dulwich? My son goes there and it's wonderful.

BB - I'm going to have a look at Asquith Court on Monday - will let you know what I think! Although it could be a bit of a pain for me to get to as I'd have to drive to drop off DS every day! hmmm - not sure I want to tackle the South Circular 3 mornings a week! Anyway, I'll be there tomorrow and will be picking all your brains re nurseries and childminders! Looking forward to it - will keep my eyes peeled for the dragon suit!

BB and PF - was lovely meeting you and the lo's today - sorry I couldn't stay longer! The nursery I went to see wasn't that nice but def feel better for having seen yet another nursery! Lets def do this again - next week is a bit hectic for me, but how about the Wednesday after at the same time same place? Anyone else also fancy it? BB - good luck with ASquith's tomorrow - let me know what you think!
