Looking forward to it now, we shall have to think about how to recognise each other! Do we need hats with MN on them?

hi am, hope the party goes well! Saw you posted late last night when I was still up, so thought I'd check if you were still about to chat!

Is ds excited? Silly q! What has he had for his birthday?

Hi, Can we come too, we are Babydales, Woodybears and Sunnybank. I am a regular under babydales and bfcmdr and the other two are newcomers although we generally log in together. Anyway we are childminders in Stockport, We are easily recognisable as we have loads of kids and generally look harrassed.I am the one in the raspberry coloured top and the blue fleece.

Of course! (alexsmum started this thread but am sure she is busy today, and won't mind me being bossy and taking over )

The more the merrier, see you all then. I have been doing the rounds of looking for a childminder recently and wonder if I have spoken to any of you?!!

Which area of Stockport are you in?

cheadle hulme

hello i'm back! are you around 3babies?

I'm here, did I miss you??!

threelittle babies. Have a read of my ofsted report if you are still looking for a minder and we can chat later.
www.ofsted.gov.uk then go to childminders in step 1 and type in SK5 8AD in step 2 and mine is the one at the top starts with a 3 and ends with a 3

I've just had a nosey at your Inspection report - it's absolutely fantastic!! If I needed a childminder then I'd be on to you in a shot!!

Looking forward to meeting you on the 17th. Do we have a definate list yet of who'll be there or is it still a bit up in the air?

just bumping this in case anyone is around and wants to chat

dh is watching the dd's in the bath, I'm supposed to be checking eBay!! but I 'll be around later on.

What area of Stockport do you live in alexsmum? are you a 'native'?

no not a native.ended up here because of dh's job.we were living in london and wanted to move north to be nearer my family and stockport was the place he got a transfer to. been here quite a long time now,but i still don't think of it as being totally home iyswim.
what about you lucy?

Yep, I'm a native, went away to Uni, came back skint and just stayed, both dh's and my family are here though, so great for babysitting!!

Oh and Lucy really is the cat!

I'm Catherine really

Hi, why don't we get them to reserve a table for us and then one of us brings a small sign with MN on it that we put on the table. I've never been on a meet either!

that seems like a good idea gigwig. maybe we could also wear a sticker each with our mumsnet name on-that would make us easy to spot!

Here's where I'm so glad I didn't call myself 'stinkybum' or 'pooeynappy'!! not that either of those were an option of course!

shall we get an idea of numbers and ring them to let them know? maybe they will throw in some juice or something. maybe book as a party if it works out cheaper?

Anyone who needs more info \link{http://www.eatandplay.co.uk/restaurant_info.asp?RID=27\have a look here}

Good idea mom- as it's £3 just to play, and we will be there around lunch time, may as well book as party and get food too! What does everyone else think? And might they want a deposit? Might be a bit tricky if we're not sure everyone is definitely coming.

List of who I think is coming (which may not mean much!)

alexsmum
threelittlebabies
gigwig
giraffeski

nemo1977

Anyone else- alexsmum you never did hear from mancmum did you?

Anyone I have missed- apologies, please add yourself to list!

Can you tell I like lists please don't all shun me on 17th because I am a geek!

Hello
that is a good idea to book as party and get food. Are you OK to do that, threelittlebabies ? I don't mind doing it if not.
I have one DS.Anyway chat later.

according to the aa should only take me 45mins to drive. so depending on my finances I should be there.

wonder if they need to know how many children too?
Just so that they can roughly prepar them selves?

I will DEF have my almost 3 yo, poss not my 11 mo as DP is off on fridays.

3lb, i like things done in big long lists too

also a list lover..lol

I will have a 3mth old and a 2yr old with me.

Just the one dd (2.10) with me. Although dd1 (5.10)would also like to come, so could she please have the day off school mummy? natch.
