Hi

I moved down here in August and am just finding my feet. I would love to make some new frieds for myself and my two sons aged 7 and 5.

I still haven't a cool where everything is but I am learning.

Hope to hear from you soon.x

Welcome Crystaltips! I take it you are in Verwood? I'm over in Bournemouth towards Christchurch. Got 2 DS aged 6 and 21 mths.

You will have to come along to one of our meetups - we're quite lively and enjoy a drink or too!!!!!!!

Sounds fab. I would love to. I am really new to this what does ds mean?.xxx

DS is 'darling son'

Check out the acronym list under 'USeful stuff' at the top of the page.

Don't worry - you'll soon be hooked!!!

Thanks Merlin. So how often do you all get together?

Maybe every couple of months - some us who live closer to each other meet a more regularly for the odd coffee at Castlepoint!!!

Would you welcome a new member? or is it a formed group.

I would be so nervous never done anything like this before. How many of you are there?

God I have lived at castlepoint sice I got here I love shopping. Its my idea of heaven. Except the car park .

We welcome anyone! On a our big meetups I guess there could be about 8-10. The Castlepoint ones tend to be just 2/3. We're all very friendly (everyone else has obviosly gone to bed early tonight). If you bump this thread tomorrow some others will probably come out of the woodwork .

We are all ages from the young to the young in mind if not body (me at 44 .

Thanks Merlin. I will do that. I really need a good chat with the girls, it the one thing I really miss about home and girls nights out of course.

Well its been nice talking to you butat age 33 I need my beauty sleep. Night night.xxx

Night - nice talking to you too!

Hi Crystaltips, I'm fairly new to MN. Was wondering about turning up to a meet up on my own too - ooh er!!

Hi Merlin, any idea when there's going to be one? A meet up, that is?

Oh, meant to ask. Merlin, can you explain what 'bumping' a thread means or involves? I've heard it mentioned, and seen 'bump' here and there, but have no idea how to do it, or what it is really!

Hi All,

I'm in Southampton but come to the Bournemouth meets!
We are trying to get the next meet up for Feb as we haven't had one for a while!
I will try and link the thread!

Hi Mummypenguin and Crystaltips, I'm another of the Gang , you are both more than welcome to come to any of the meetups (there is another thread going, we are trying to get together for a drinky/meal at the beginning of Feb).

bumping means just adding a message (e.g. "bump!" to bring the thread to the top of the active conversations list so people can see it, there are just sooo many threads going, you see!)

Hi whoops, beat me to it!

Morning all!!!! Just popping in - gotta go now, chores to do!

Hi Jodee!
Yes was taking a sneaky break from work

here is the link to the otherthread

Thanks for the 'bump' explanation, Jodee! Will be watching with interest now, to keep an eye on dates etc for the meet up. I'm really intrigued to see if I recognise anyone - or even know someone from school or whatever!

Hiya! I'm another (just quieter than all the rest ). I'm also a SAHM so I'm about during daytime if anyone wants to meet for coffee.

Was wondering when you were going to appear

Are you going to find the other meet up thread??
