Norfolk Mummies?!?!

[jodiemay]

Hi I am new to Mumsnet, I saw the great review in The Sunday Times, and simply had to look! I was just wondering if there are any stay at home Mums in Norfolk? I live in King's Lynn and am at home with my 17 month old son Jack. Jack and I try to get out as often as money permits, with only Richard (hubby) working, not always possible, although I do my little bit with Avon!!
Please contact me and maybe we can organise days out and meets etc.........

no - I was born in Essex, grew up in the Fens of Lincolnshire, flitted about a bit and have been in Norfolk just over 11 years. I like Norfolk people.

Hi Throckenrobin. Norfolk people are nice, but the older ones (wrinklies I mean) are very very hard to understand especially if I am talking to them with a Scottish accent things become very confused!!

it took me quite a few years to learn the local accent - and I had the advantage that the Fen accent is fairly similar - but I really like it - it has character. Bet they have problems understanding you though - which part of Scotland ? I lived in Dundee for 6 months and never understood a word the locals said .

Oh God Throckenrobin, guess where I am from originally!!!! Although in my defence have not lived there for years.

ah well - it will probably take years for you and the Norfolk "oldies" to understand each other - but you can have fun trying !

ZCMum - where in Acle does he work - that's right by me......He probably passes my house on his way home (unless he gets the train)

At the service station on the A47, Acle is lovely, we'd love a house there! If you ever see any up to let, let me know!!!

So who fancies a meet up then??

Again...I am! I'm pretty new to MN, what do you lot do for meet ups?

I'm pretty new as well, haven't done one before. I started the 'Is Diss it?' thread in the hope of doing a meet up, response was slow but seems to be gathering steam now.

You need to look in Brundell, Blofield, Martham, maybe Caister?

Fliby is gorgeous but expensive.....so is Acle

Are you looking to but or rent

It'll be renting for the next few years, I expect they don't come up that often in the nice areas. We love Filby, it's such a cute little village! We saw alot we liked in Caister but they all went before we got a chance to view them!

Look in the Mercury and the advertiser
How many bedrooms?

We'd need a 3. The rental prices are much more down here than up north! At the mo we have a 6m let so can't really start looking seriously till april.

Start looking very early remember this is a holiday resort people come and spend the summer....so by April a lot have been rented 'cos people fancy a long holiday....

I'm going to bake 35 fairy cakes now - so I'll look back later

Have you found the indoor play places? like Sirbouncealot and the one in Gorleston

Thanks I'll look them up, haven't found anything for the kids to do here yet. Enjoy making your cakes! Enjoy eating them aswell

All done now - for the school party

So what about Caister Castle - lovely restaurant great play space

The cinema is dinky but parking free in the winter

The best beach is at Sea Palling

And theres a great farmers market at Stalham

36 fairy cakes made, baked, iced, boxed and cleared up.....supermum I am not - I'm knackered

So you made one extra then? Is that one for me?

Well actually I made 48 - but only 35 will go to school

I'll be popular with DH for a few hrs

...and the C/M children will love them

How did your DD enjoy her party? How did your DH enjoy the cakes? Hope he left some for the kids!

The party was ....a children's Christmas Party...DD loved it

DH ate most of the cakes
4 (yes four) children cancelled today - so 1 (quite lonely) child ate the icing off 1 cake

Never mind I got paid anyway
