WOKINGHAM new to mnet - any similar?

[peanutpie05]

Hi - new to mumsnet. In Wokingham with 3 children (1yr, 3yr and 6yr - all girls!)

Would like to hear from any similar ... the more the merrier!

Coffee, chat (maybe even a cake if my waistline dares allow me)

hi, i live in Earley, which is not far from wokingham.

i have 2 kids at the moment ds1 (8) ds2(4 at end of jan) and no3 due in march.

iam a student midwife, but will be starting my maternity leave in feb and looking forward to taking some time out before baby is born. i.e shoppin, meeting friends for coffee, lunch etc.

hope you like mn and plan on sticking around.

Oh, how exciting! I'm hoping to post the same thing soon - we're trying to move to Wokingham right now. With any luck we shall exchange this month, and move soon after.

I've lived in this part of London for 35y, only left it briefly to go to uni and travel, so I'm both terrified and excited at the prospect of living somewhere else. Especially as where we are now my parents live on 10mins walk from me.

We have a 3yo dd and a 5yo ds.

Hi vickiyumyum

Good luck with no.3 Do you know if it is b or g?

Let me know when you're on m/leave ... it's be great to arrange a meet up in the area!

hi pp, welcome to mumsnet.

I live in ascot, not too far from you. We've only been here a few months, moved from croydon in October.

I have 4 children, 5yo dd, 3yo ds and 9mnth dts, who are currently wrecking the place!

im new as well, i joined yesterday and i think mumsnet is brill.

im english but i live in germany because of my husbands work.

but it so good to get advice and to have a chat whenever i want to.

ive got a daughter whos 15 months so i need all the advice i can get.

i hope to see you around

Hi I'm been using mn for a couple of years but am not a regular iyswim.
I live in Bracknell and have 2 kids also, dd is 3.4 yo and ds is 6mths.
I am due to start the midwifery training in October so vickiyumyum it would be great to get together and I'm always up for a coffee, cakes and a chat with anyone else local!!

peanutpie05 - according to the scan its a girl! although i will wait and see what comes out before i get too excited. would be great to meet up, i often come into wokingham as it is easier to get around than Reading, less packed.

jasmum - bet you can't wait to start your training. i will be going back a year because of the maternity leave. i should have been qualifying this august/sept but won't until next year now as any time off you have you have to amke up, so am planning on getting some of my dissertation done while i am off, just the research and actually deciding on a subject!!!

feel free to cat me if you have any questions or for any reason, same to you peanutpie05.

Morning everyone!

Just to let you know - I've started a new Yahoo group called 'EastBerkshireMums'.

if anyone would like to join - please CAT me and I will send you an 'invite'
