Hi everyone,
I am a 37yr old mum of two little boys (aged 4 yrs and 20 months), live in Writtle near Chelmsford, with no driving license and would love to meet some new people. Am not a very "mummsy" mum which is what kept me from going to toddler groups . Anyone near by?

One Essex Mum here!
I live in Dagenham - close to Chadwell Heath actually (Green Lane).
DS is now 14 months old. I've been back at work for 9 months and hating every second of it. Would like to meet other mums as I am beginning to become a recluse. Don't drive and I'm quite lazy (especially when it's cold)- plus I've convinced myself that I like staying home all weekend and actually get very nervous about going out at all .

Hi Vanessa,

I dont suppose you used to work at Chalkwell School did you?
If so I was the pregnant student there this time last year - we worked together a few times!
But in case your not my name is Laura and I have a little boy William who is 7 and a half months now!

lak114 · 23/02/2007 18:37

Oh and by the way Hobleythick Lane is a really good group I go with Lesley, Hobleythick Lane is by the road that Southend High School for Boys is on by the Bell pub.

NessMelCads · 23/02/2007 20:17

Hi Congratulations!!!!!
Well i finished my degree in Early Childhood Studies and Education but need to do the PGCE still but will do that when Will is older as I want to stay with him!
Things are good thanks how about with you?
Not much between our 2 then Will is 8 months on the 10th March so just a few weeks apart lol!
It is funny meeting you on here I read it earlier and didnt think anything of it and was re-reading it earlier this evening when I realised it might be you.
Shame you wont have your car soon you will have to let us know if you find another good baby group and maybe we could come along one day, will be nice to see you and meet your little ones!
