Essex Mums are you out there?

[LittleHarrysMum]

I live in Benfleet and have a 5 month old DS.

Anyone near by????

I hope I am not breaking any rules here and if I am, I will happily take a slap on the wrist. I've just started a new Hi5 Group called Essex Mums and Dads - check it out. Mumsnet is wonderful but sometimes my eyes boggle with all the various topics - and my concentration just isn't what it use to be. Plus you can share pictures and video clips. You may have to sign up to Hi5 to access. Just an idea.

Not used to this thing and keep loosing my messages. Laura werent you the one who looked 1 mnth preg when really late on in preg and i was like a beached whale, put me to shame. My frind down your road jazzy had a ginger boy but he is 8 mnths, i also have a friend who just had a baby girl down that road. would be great to meet up just name a place and time as long as walking distance i cant do buses with 2. Unless its next week coz still got the car then?

lol yh that was me lol only out on 17lbs in my whole pregnancy and Will was nearly 9of those lol!
Well baby group down Hobleythick Lane is on on Tuesday 1-3 (we normally get there about half 1 tho) if you fancy it Vanessa?

would have loved to but i go to 2 groups on a tues, 1 at 11 in town and 1 at 1.30 at st.peters church shoebury. I take somneone to the afternoon one so cant cancel it really. I think tues is my only day with car as well but may get it occasionally another day if dh doesnt need it. What do you do the other days??

I know a few people that go to that group im going to their little girls 1st bday today. You may know them, she has 2 girls similar age gap between them and mine.

Ah thats a shame!
I tend not to plan too far ahead during the week as things never seem to go to plan lol.
Tuesdays are a regular thing tho for me, Lesley also meets some other mums at a place called Monkey Business on a friday nr Hockley Station but I havent managed to make it up there myself yet even though i do drive lol!
My partner James is off Thursday and Friday this week so we will spend it together but i will work on Thursday as still do my part time job in Customer Services to pay for car insurance etc!
I only do one day a week and always on a day that James is off so I dont have to send Will to a nursery!
How about you what do you get up to during the rest of the week?
I cant imagine not having my car - what will you do without it????

would be great to meet up as dont often meet people with two AND similar age gap would of said party round mine (kids of course) but my kitchen is going under or is under demolitian at the mo it looks horrible we just took cupboards of walls tiles of and plaster off it looks like a bomb has hit it , next week pretty buzy all week what about week after maybe we could arrange something some where !! any ideas any one
Laura i can well believe you looked one month pregnant at the end as you dont really look like youve had a baby any way but im assuming that because your young unlike me who has to breath in most of the time and i too looked like a beached whale but at the begining of my pregnancy lol and am now filled with fear at the thought of goingon a beach in aug

lol yh i left Chalkwell at 7months lol the weight did just disappear after having will and they weight has just kept disappearing since, my mum keeps telling me off she thinks i dnt eat enough but i do lol!!!

Yh should arrange something for the wk afterbut i dnt know where lol im no use am I!

Hi ladies, you should come to mine, just had new conservatory fitted to house (hense why so skint) and its full of toys, could open up my own creche. I live in Thorpe Bay off woodgrange. (Butterys)if not then we should meet somewhere else but cant think off hand. Jazzybabe after 2 so close in age what can we expect but to have looked like beache whales. I am still struggling to loose the weight but at gym 3 times a week and bfing i thought id loose the weight, i just get so hungry after i feed her and crave choc still bit like im still preg. Did either of you breastfeed? Just been to that party and both girls were a nightmare. Melody just screamed and wouldnt sit with the others and the boys were so spiteful pushing her. Glad to be home.

Hi laides - i'm in essex, I live in Hornchurch and work in Epping - although not really a mum i'm gatecrashing!

My name is emma and i'm 26 - i look after a boy of 12 months in Epping 3 days a week.

Hi Emma, would you like ababy of your own?

yeah of course - not been with my OH that long (4 months) but definately one day and not too far off either!!

that's on reason I moved from a career in IT to this career - so in theory I can take my kids to work with me

hi everyone . i think laura you will be blessed with being a skinny minnie regardles of how many babys you have lol, i am still skinny its just that i have a fat tummy still lol the gym would be fantastic but i neither have the money or time to join only because i work in evenings so hence why i bought a tread mill mind you didnt realise how unfit i was till i did all of about 8 mins on it walking most of that lol its my own fault though we had kfc last night indian tonight and a bottle of wine and well be having take out tomorrow i presume as we will be busy all day lol and i moan about not loosing my tummy " i wonder why" its disgusting the amount we waste b take aways at the weekend really must stop doing it cant be tht healthy for us either !"!

i see your an early riser like me and isnt it funny how even b4 a cup of coffee i come on my boards, this and babycentre to check for messages. must be obsession. Good morning anyways. So im the odd one out then with you guys im the porky one size 14 but sometimes around the fat tum a 16. It really gets me down so please dont tell me your size 8 to 10. Id despair, supposed to be going gym today but just came on and really am NOT up for it but then i'll feel guilty the whole day long.

Change that your a late one rather thought as it said 25th you were up early, no just sad old me heh

Good morning, I hope thats true Lesley me staying slim no matter how many kids I have lol!!!!
I dread to think how unfit I am lol i try not to think about it!!!!!
Dont worry Im obsessed with these baby sites too always check them first thing lol but dnt msg on them till later after i've sorted Will out!

I went out clubbing with some friends last night havent been clubbing in about 2 yrs lol was really good and thankfully I feel fine today as James is working!
Vanessa - we are going for a meal at the Harvester at Rayleigh Weir on 2nd March meeting at the bar at 7:30 you should come along!?!?

Hi Emma!!!

Hi Laura is the 2nd Friday?? im being dumb. Id love to come, have you all met before or is there others that are new like me?? Cadence hasnt been well and she is going through a dont put me down stage and its driving me bonkers. Give me 30 school kids any day at the moment as 2 babies is tough.

mygirlsmum - I'm 28, have a boy and a girl and live in Burnham on crouch - so only up the road from you!

lol yh it is a friday.
Some of us have met before but there are new ppl too!
30 schools kids werent too bad we could give them back when we'd had a bad day with them, lol.
No i didnt b.feed Will i did try but he was constantly hungry so we put him on formula and was drinking 9oz of normal formula every 1 and a half hrs at 3 weeks old so we put him on hungry baby formula and had to wean him early too lol he loves his food, but hes quite a big baby - he sounds like a little chunk wen i tell ppl about him but hes not fat just so solid, lol!
Ah will gets a bit like dnt put me down wen hes not well or teething but must be difficult when you have 2!
Is Cadence crawling?

Yes she is crawling everywhere usually has been for a mnths now but this week she has been on my lap and thats it. Great to meet you guys and ive asked dh if hes using car and hes not so friday night would be good.

its a plan then u can come along n meet us all!!!
Ah will will be crawling soon I cant wait for a month now he has been up on his hands and knees bouncing and rocking but just cant move lol!
