Anyone in Croydon??

Anyone mumsnetters in the Croydon area? I've just moved back here after 10 years away (only in east London but it's far enough!) and don't really have any babied-up mates around here anymore (sad, huh?!) Would love to hear from anyone in the area. I've got a 6-month-old ds and a serious need for a bit of a social life...

Yep - as sb34 said, there's quite a gaggle of us!
I'm East Croydon way, where exactly are you?
And isn't it about time for another Croydon area get-together (what do you think, SB???)

My DSs are older (nearly 5 and nearly 3) but I'm in leafy South Croydon

I tend to hide at meet ups and pretend I'm not there though

I could hide in the shadow of a lamppost at the moment

If only it were true...

emmatmg · 02/01/2004 15:51

I'm in wallington.....is that close enough?

NewThinnerDragon · 02/01/2004 16:11

Absolutely!

MoHoHo2 · 02/01/2004 17:02

I'm not far away, in Surrey, and usually struggle out to the Crotdon bashes......
(but not if sporting a mouthful of mouth ulcers (see boosting immunity thread - urgh)

MoHoHo2 · 02/01/2004 17:03

Whoops - clearly I mean CroYdon....

Hello! I'm in Streatham so on the borders of Croydon. My DSs are nearly 6 and 3, and I have a 2 mth DD. I can recommend a good Mum and Baby/Toddler group in the Shirley/woodside area of Croydon.

Mo2 · 03/01/2004 12:06

P.S. (How much thinner, Dragon? You were a beanpole before if I remember rightly!)

NewThinnerDragon · 03/01/2004 12:14

LOL! I don't think I'll ever be a beanpole but illness has lost me more than 1/2 a stone over Christmas. I suspect it will all go back on but it's nice whilst it lasts!

I'm in West Croydon - just a 20 min walk into the lovely Whitgift Centre So how about a Croydon New Year meet-up?

If non-beanpoles are allowed, then I'm in Purley with ds's of nearly 3 and 8 months. I guess Playtown in the Grants centre can accommodate the range, though there isn't much for the baby end of the spectrum. There's a mums and toddlers in Surrey Street on Weds and Fri mornings, but I guess it might be too young for any 4 year olds... The only place that I frequent (other than the Esporta creche) that would accomodate the whole range would be Tunstall Road nursery but that always seems to be full these days...

Metrobaby · 03/01/2004 19:21

I'm in Purley too. Have one dd of just over 3yrs, plus one on the way Unfortunately as I work ft atm I can't do daytime meetups but can do evening ones.

Agree that it is time for another Croydon meetup though

miriamw · 07/01/2004 19:17

So are we still on for a meet? Does SB34's return for work mean that she will be missing?

I'll leave the dates and locations up to you ladies as I'll have to work around DH's shifts.

Hopefully I'll make it this time as I had to cancel at the last minute for the last one because of DH's shifts.....GGGrrrrrrrrr

dollymixture · 08/01/2004 12:13

Emma - whereabouts in Wallington are you?? I'm in Stanley Park Road, on the borders of Carshalton/Wallington.

Metrobaby · 12/01/2004 15:55

I'm free on Fridays too ...

Any ideas of dates or suggested venues?
