It's the next stop after Manchester on the Picadilly trains.

mummytosteven · 21/02/2006 10:06

It has some very good shops - Borders, Hobbycraft (with LOADs of embroidery/wool/sewing craft stuff) and Toys R Us and Mothercare.

I would but my 10 oclock express might get in the way, I can bump to the side by an hour each way but no more than that... (after much experimenting!)

fastasleep · 21/02/2006 10:07

laundrylover · 21/02/2006 11:09

ooh bad timing! Didn't know you lot were all so local - we are in Mossley but easy for Stockport. My due date is march 19th though so reckon it's a bit ambitious to try and join you this time. have fun and organise a summer follow up eh?

gigwig · 21/02/2006 11:22

I'm 37, with DS who is 3 and a bit. I am 5ft2 and have glasses! DS has beautiful blond hair (I don't!).

Is there somewhere that someone who knows the place can recommend where we go to - like a certain bit.

Hello all, sorry was not ignoring anyone last night- MN went weird on me.11.15 ok by me. Have brown hair, as do ds and dd. Will have a boy and a baby with me! Could maybe give someone's surname into the desk? Fastasleep- come, and bring your breast pump! No one would DARE say anything to you

MerlinsBeard · 21/02/2006 14:34

is it worth ringing and telling them that there are a few of us coming? that way they may give us discount?and reserve a few tables (sign saying MN anyone!!)

Worked for us on a trip to Monkey magic this morning! got in played and fed for a fiver!

Am i going to be the only one with 2 little horrors??!
