We went to our new house at the weekend and it is very nearly finished!!! So hopefully once the paper work is sorted we can move!

Where abouts is it? i have not been down the far end, must take a little walk with ch and see what its all like now. Mind you with all the builders i think i will leve it till they go home! lol I am at Westland Drive

Tallysmummy · 06/09/2006 11:13

I would leave it until they have gone home!!! Its really bad up there when they are there, i think they think its a race track for there trucks.

We are on magister drive I dont think you will be able to walk that far tho as it is gated off.

Have you seen the show home? Friends of ours have just brought one . Its so big!!! Mind you they have 4 children

Tallysmummy · 06/09/2006 12:09

I have got chatting with a lady on the cherque farm website buying a 5 bed house who has 2 boys and one on the way, she should be moving in around the same time as me in about 6 weeks. She does not know many people in the area so she might be up for a meet-up.

the show homes look huge! the are very nice, would not mind one myself! lol
That would be great when we meet up, breaks the ice a bit for moving here as well as getting to know other mothers

Tallysmummy · 06/09/2006 13:02

would be nice to get to know the locals! We are coming to have a look around lee at the weekend (should really be packing but its so boring) Is there anything you think we should go and see?

parking the car up and having a nice walk to the beach. You can park up and walk throught Albacore Drive through to an alley way which takes you a 15 min walk to beach?
You could also take a drive to gosport and get the ferry over to Portsmouth and see the Tower. there is loads over there great shops its nice because its not far from here.

Tallysmummy · 06/09/2006 15:04

Thanks for that. Sounds like there is more to do there than here. We had a nice picnic on the beach the other weekend. I grew up by the sea and i look forward to the tought of bringing my children up there to.

I know its lovely living by the sea. I lived in Fareham for many yrs and was always taken to lee beach. I am so happy to be living here.
I am on a mission to find a gym in the area now. I have to get fit again!!

OP posts:
Tallysmummy · 07/09/2006 09:54

I know what you mean about getting fit. I want to before we ttc number 2.

We are meeting friends and having a pub lunch in Lee at the weekend now. Which wont help with trying to get fit (unless i walk there from Hedge end).

This thread is making me so "homesick"! I lived in Stubbington for 4 years before we moved to Holland last year. I soooo wish we could move back to that area but DH works in London .. it's just so far for him to travel. I'm very ! Lee is so lovely - I have spent many a happy summer afternoon at the park on the beachfront with the dds. Great part of the world to live.

Tallysmummy · 07/09/2006 12:29

Im sorry kando!!!! I do hope it is a nice part of the world as Lee is going to become our home soon!!!!

kando · 08/09/2006 09:59

It really is, Tallysmummy! The people are lovely and friendly and although it's a small community, there's quite a lot to do with kids - parks at the seafront, there's a nice park in Stubbington too. I used to go to a toddler group called "SPATs" in Stubbington Community centre, and The Play Shack off Newgate Lane was a very firm favourite with my girls and myself - they do a great coffee in there! Hope the move goes well - have a friend who lives in Cherque Farm and her house is gorgeous!

Tallysmummy · 08/09/2006 10:19

Thanks kando I can't wait to move there now! Im so excited! The houses are really nice. Im going today to choose the final finishings which im so excited about. I grew up by the sea and i dont think i ever complained about being bored!!! A day out by the water is such fun for children. Sounds like we have chosen the right area!!!

Stephi · 03/10/2006 10:01

Hi there. I moved to Fareham about a year ago. Thought I would start this thread up again!!!
