I'm moving to St. Leonards in Exeter, and have a 13 month old baby.
Would love to hear from anyone in the area to find out about baby groups or meeting up for a coffee...

all the best,

Boobs! It was great to meet you, at last! sorry I'm always so awkward...
anyway, what I really wanted to tell you during our brief meeting was: "where did you buy your hat???"
and your dc are adorable. ciao

ivelostmyboobsboohoo · 09/02/2007 18:37

franca! fab to meet you too. well done for coming over. i thought you were very brave and not at all awkward. tho i know its always a bit strained to start with.
i got my hat from accesorize- but it was last years- sorry! did you like it?!!!!
ciao!!!!! x

franca70 · 09/02/2007 19:42

I loved the hat! See, I should go to accesorize more often. It's nice to know that there is a friendly mother on the corner with haldon road!
grrr I just had a massive row with ds who didn't eat his dinner. he claimed he's changed his tastes and didn't like anything that I cooked today (which he's always loved). I'm furious.

might try it out tomorrow, is it suitable for a 13mth old?

OP posts:
franca70 · 09/02/2007 22:59

Is she walking already? I think the place is baby friendly, like everywhere there are some older children who can play a bit rough. So it depends on your stress levels, really!

ILoveDolly · 09/02/2007 23:07

franca70 · 09/02/2007 23:10

didnt go to Dinkys in the end, went past it and it looked nice, ended up having lunch at the Pheonix, very child friendly and nice food, and a glass of wine if required, Excellent.

the phoenix, haven't been there for ages, but it's true, is baby friendly and the food is nice.
I stayed home all day, pretending to work (though I washed the kitchen floor). dh took the children to the museum.
