Hello

I'm Kerry I live in Taverham, Norwich i'm 23 and am mum to 2 girls Lauryn 2 and Ashley 1.

I don't know many people in the area of Taverham so would esp like to meet mums here but anyone in norwich is fine!

Lauryn has a few friends now so would also esp like to meet people with children the same age as Ashley (she was one on 05/01)

Hope to hear from some ppl soon love Kerry, Lauryn and Ashley x

I've obviously got the wrong end of the stick again! Wroxham Barns is fine for me also, although tricky to get to if there's anyone who doesn't drive.

ProfYaffle · 29/03/2006 10:16

Wroxham Barns is a bit of a trek for me tbh but at least dd can sleep in the car. Shall we agree to meet there unless anyone objects or comes up with a better idea? What time and how will we all know each other?

TS = great minds, obviously!

zebrabra · 02/04/2006 22:05

I'm just posting here so I can check back to see what you all decided.
Wroxham Barns is exceedingly convenient for me, but I suspect Poringland Playbarn is nicer & more convenient for more people.
All these places will be very busy in Easter break, everyone remember. I'd rather go in term time when I only have 2 children to keep track of.

tootsweet · 03/04/2006 11:55

Zebrabra, I'd completely forgotten about Poringland. Good suggestion. As I've said before anywhere is ok for me. What times were we thinking of? My little one will sleep in the car so its not a concern about routines for me but just wondering about everyone else?
Any ideas for recognising each other? Physical description?

ProfYaffle · 03/04/2006 13:50

I'm happy with the playbarn as well. Don't mind what time really, dd's quite flexible about her sleep.

Recognising each other, hmmm, how about fancy dress to reflect our MN names? Me and Zebra will be easy to spot. Wink

Maybe we could agree to congregate in a particular spot in the playbarn like the sandpit or one of the tables near the toddler section or something??

zebrabra · 04/04/2006 14:03

I don't know if I'll go or not gals, but i note \link{http://www.theplaybarn.co.uk/\they don't open before 9:30}, and I think they like only under3's in the main indoor play area before a certain time, 10:30?). I'd suggest 10am.

tootsweet · 08/04/2006 15:05

Don't think I'll be able to make wednesday. Had a rough couple of days. DD2 was admitted to N&N with viral gastroentiritus yesterday and Ive just pranged DH's car. Grrrrrr!!!!!!!!!! DD2 is now home and on road to recovery but not sure if she'll have recovered by then. My nan is also very ill at the moment aswell so not sure what will happen there either.

Spagblog · 08/04/2006 15:41

How did I miss this!
How dare you organise a Norwich meet up without me Grin
Next week is tricky though.

ProfYaffle · 08/04/2006 21:41

Shall we have a term time date then? What day of the week? What happened to the op? Come back Kerry!

ProfYaffle · 08/04/2006 21:43

PS. TS - hope your dd and Nan are OK.

Spagblog · 09/04/2006 09:56

I'm free next week now.
Anyone? Anyone???

ProfYaffle · 09/04/2006 09:58

I'm free but it doesn't sound like TS and Zebra will be able to make it.

tootsweet · 10/04/2006 14:28

Hello!!! DD2 is fine!!! Nan is fine!!! DH is going to take the blame for the car!!! Life is good!!!

ProfYaffle · 10/04/2006 14:29

Hooray!!

Fimbo · 10/04/2006 14:43

Fimbo waves nervously to everyone.

tootsweet · 12/04/2006 09:53

Not sure what was happening about this meet up but wanted to apologise for not making it today if it does happen! DD1's eye has swollen up like a small balloon. She had peri orbital cellulitus before so trip to docs and N&N beckons.
Never rains but it pours eh?

ProfYaffle · 13/04/2006 15:29

That sounds horrid TS, hope she's OK. I was under the impression we had cancelled until term time so I don't worry about it.

zebrama · 18/04/2006 11:18

I just found this \link{http://www.info4families.co.uk/index.php\website for Norfolk families}.

lilstarry1 · 18/04/2006 17:05

O how ignorant I have been.. didn't realise there was a Norfolk thread.. :)
Would love to meet up. Unfortunately I'm one of the tricky ones because I can't drive! I do live near the city centre so if there's ever a meet up happening there I'd love to be informed.. I reckon the forum would be a sound place (crash the children's library perhaps!).

I'm SAHM to Beebe who is 11 weeks old! I know another mum who'd probably be interested too, she doesn't use MN (I will guide her here!)..

Keep me up to date! (how exciting!)

zebrama · 18/04/2006 17:40

Funky Monkey's might be another possibility. Vulcan Rd. in north city; those who don't drive might be able to bus it or share a taxi from city centre.

tootsweet · 24/04/2006 11:44

Hi everyone! We are all fit and healthy now so I can now come along to a meet up! Do we dare to attempt to arrange another date?

milkmoustache · 24/04/2006 13:52

Hi everyone

My DD is 1 tomorrow and we are based in Thorpe St A - we are always on the lookout for new groups to gate-crash so once a date/venue is decided hopefully we'll see you there. How about...
Wednesday afternoon? The forum? Just a suggestion to get things going.

ProfYaffle · 24/04/2006 16:55

yes, why not go for another date?

Am I the only one who's clicked on 'Northwich Mums' by mistake?

tootsweet · 25/04/2006 14:45

milkmoustache - love the name and welcome! As you can tell we need a push to get this started!
What about next week? What days are now best for everyone?
No, you're not the only one PY! I got so confused and wondered who the hell these people were!
Do you think we'll be able to persuade Fimbo to come?

milkmoustache · 26/04/2006 10:20

Let's get organised! Shall we try the Forum next week, just so we can get started - we can always change the venue next time. Afternoons are good for me - Mon, Tue or Wed are all fine. 2.30 -ish?
I've been racking my brains to think of a way of recognising each other - maybe an empty Mothercare bag tied to the buggy?!
