Northampton - any Mumsnet mums there?

[Holymoly321]

Hi, DH and I are thinking of moving to Northampton from London and I'm a bit nervous about not knowing anyone at all in the area. It's all very early days yet - have only just put our London flat on the market - but was wondering if there were any MN mums in Northampton to kind of give me the lowdown on the area etc and would be up for meeting when we finally get up there. I've lived in London all my life so this is going to be a big move for me!

hi smiling , i live in northampton. its ok depending where you are moving too ? there are some bad places but also some really lovely areas too . there is everything you will need and shops are great . my mum used to commute to london everyday for work and there are a few people i know that have come to northampton from london .

i would be up for meeting you that nwould be great . im 24 with 3 girls and enjoy socalising when ever possible . i feel constantly tied up with the children as im a SAHM so it would be great to meet another MNetter as i havent as yet .

Hi Muma - you've been giving me some good advice on the Education thread! I've got DS who's only 10 months at the moment but if we do move up to Northampton we'll be trying for another (with fingers crossed!) It would be good to meet up with you if we do end up there as I'll be a SAHM too. Are there many Mother and Baby groups or Baby 'rhyme time' type activities in Northampton? I go to a few things here in London and would like to keep that sort of thing up, especially as it's a good way to meet other mums.

there are alot of baby and toddler / father and baby etc etc groups around where i used to live but i couldnt say for each different area im afraid . meet up sounds great , good luck x

Cool - thanks Muma - watch this space!

Cool - thanks Muma - watch this space!

Muma3 - hi again! Well, it looks like we are going to be moving up to Northampton in September sometime if all goes well (fingers crossed!). The house we are hoping to buy is in Abington so I'm not sure if that's near you or not, but hey, Northampton's not as big as London so I'm sure you'll not be too far away! I would definitely be up for meeting up as I'll be stranded on my tod with DS when DH commutes to London for work. Would be great to meet some Northampton mums - so watch this space and I'll keep you updated as to the move!

bumping for Muma3 and other Northampton mums!

Hi smiling I live near Northampton. Abington would be about 15 minutes from me. I would love to meet up .

Hi there Tillyrose - that would be great. We;re hoping to move up there in early September so if you check back here then, I would love to arrange a meet up. Where abouts do you live?

I'm in Wellingborough - just along the A45 from Northampton.

I'm in a village just north of Northampton. I will tell you when I meet you!

I will post on here at the beginning of september and perhaps we could arrange a meet up with anyone else local-ish.

Hi again all - sounds great. I will let you all know when we move up and look forward to meeting you!

hi there - did you move in the end. Abington is very close to the Abington Park.There is a rhyme time group in my village. Weston favell Village on fridays at the tennis club. How are you finding northampton? Abington is a good central place in northampton. I have a 22 month old and have just had second baby boy 2 weeks ago.

Hi Smiling

I too moved up to Northamptonshire from London, approx 18 months ago now. I Live not far from Wellingborough too like one of the other mn.

Would be interested to know if and when you move up this way.
