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,

Hi.

Have not been on MN since Christmas and so have only just caught up with this thread (thanks Fennel for letting me know).
I can do Sat 17th Feb and will let 2 others who don't post on MN know about the meet up. Am seeing Baysmum tomorrow morning so will remind her also.

Look forward to it

xxxx

Greensleeves · 30/01/2007 13:07

You don't go to the Methodist Church one on Mondays, do you?

pageturner · 30/01/2007 13:13

Well, franca, I could do.... May have to see if i can come up with something better. Suggestions welcome!

franca70 · 30/01/2007 13:18

I loved little tales of misogyny and edith's diary. unless of course you want to change genre...

ivelostmyboobsboohoo · 30/01/2007 15:07

greensleeves- guess what? i do!!!!!!!!!!! was the hair thing a giveaway?! which one are you? or rather, who's mummy are you? x btw i am the tall one with the short (messy !!!) blonde hair

ivelostmyboobsboohoo · 30/01/2007 17:07

crikey- anyone there? shall i consider myself uninvited now you poss know who i am in rl?!!! ha ha ha

Greensleeves · 30/01/2007 17:25

I am plump/medium height/longish brown hair, usually in a messy bun - my little boy is 2.6 and has a blond page boy cut and a strawberry mrk above one eye, I used to bring my other son who is 4 but also has a blond page boy - so whose mummy are you? And do you recognise me?

This is freaky

ivelostmyboobsboohoo · 30/01/2007 18:02

mmm, not sure, will ask my friend. your little boy sounds familiar- you dont go every week do you?
i bring my little girl- aged just 2, she has blond/strawberry blond hair in a bob with a fringe and is good friends with another little girl with very blond babyish hair.

i usually go with my friend who is tall with dark long hair.

i'm not very confident about approaching new people so usually just talk to her, not being unfriendly,
i just find it difficult!

indeed this is very very weird, and i really want to say- 'my name is... and my daughter is ...' because i think youd know me by the name of my little girl- perhaps thats a big enough clue...!

bigger clue- her name is that of a country!!!!

franca70 · 30/01/2007 18:03

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

franca70 · 30/01/2007 18:08

sorry, x posted, what a coincidence!

Greensleeves · 30/01/2007 18:29

Ah - in which case I do know what you look like (your dd is gorgeous!) but I don't think we have spoken. I used to go regularly with my ds1, but have only been taking ds2 for a few weeks really.

Baysmum · 30/01/2007 18:40

Dont mean to freak you out further Ivelostmy etc etc but I also think yo sound familiar!! Did we meet at our Dps xmas do in a hotel in Torquay?? Ignore me if Im wrong but by the way you describe yourself and 3 kids I've just got a feeling.......(and i dont know bloody anybody here so it is a freaky coincidence if Im right!!!)

ivelostmyboobsboohoo · 30/01/2007 18:40

oh thanks! i THINK i know who your lovely little boy is but not sure what you look like but am sure will recognise you. mind you i'm always recognising people and telling them i know them then it turns out they might have served me on the till at sainsburys a few times! am still blaming all that on preg hormones (even tho that was nearly 3 yrs ago!!!)

ivelostmyboobsboohoo · 30/01/2007 18:44

baysmum- of course- omg!!!! i was thinking earlier- i know someone with a child of that name and couldnt think who it was! blimey how weird is that?! have you made it to toddlers yet then? not seen you there but have missed a couple of weeks through kids being ill.
crikey, i get around a bit dont i?!!!!!
ps dh thinks i am a saddo computer geek nerd for my current MN obsession. bet our dps will be comparing notes tomorrow!

ivelostmyboobsboohoo · 30/01/2007 18:46

anyone else thinks they might know me?!!!!

Baysmum · 30/01/2007 18:47

So glad i was right otherwise looked like a crazy/stalker type mad person! How can you forget bay's ridiculous name!!!??(and the ridiculous person who gave it him)!! Havent made it on a Monday yet as got confused about groups but me and a friend are looking for something to do on a MOn morning! Hope you are well, looks like I'll be seeing you soon anyway at meet up - yay!

fennel · 30/01/2007 19:15

so far I don't think so Ivelostmyboobsboohoo. or maybe I need more clues

HelloMama · 30/01/2007 19:18

This sounds like a good night out. I also wonder if there will be anyone I know going - Exeter is a small place! Has anyone else grown up here and attended any of the secondary schools? Does anyone go to Belmont toddler group on a wednesday??

wow, whats going on here? it truly is very bizarre- does this often happen do you think? i mean exter is small compared to like london but its not THAT small! and mumsnet (or NERDSNET as dh likes to call it- how funny he is) is HUGE!
really looking forward to night out now.
ds2 bday tomorrow- he'll be 4- and i have a mountain of stuff to do mainly involving paper crap prizes and rotyerteeth sweeties!

I went to visit Magdalen Ct school for my dd 1 , it was a very strange experience, have a lot of the secondary schools in Exeter changed from being state to private?

franca70 · 30/01/2007 21:10

sorry coco, I don't know. Are you still looking for a secondary school for your dd?
