meetup not so posh north london mums

[signman]

very nice to meet you all today at bx...sorry about the foot ld! what's next? anybody with car want to travel (max one hour so sleep not too disrupted)?

We will be doing the secret Mumsnet walk! See you there

Ha ha ha!

Hi Schmauskin, was wondering how it was going! I propose this Tuesday afternoon then, seeing as thats ok with me and LD. Think should be ok with signman, she says presumptously. anyone else? 2pm? 3pm?

Tuesday 3pm is fine for me. Where?

Not sure really... maybe someone else should choose this time?! I'm happy anywhere, within reason! BTW, how far down Duke's Ave is the sale? Not sure where the Cufos Centre is. Ta for the alert... I hate to think I'd have missed a bargain. Even though we dont really need much at the moment! Is there anything you still particularly need? I'm trying to keep stuff as long as I can, in the vain hope that dh will agree to another baby, but we could do with the space, so may have to sell a few things!

Will have a think about a venue and come back to you.
Have never been to Cufos Centre either, all I know is that it's next to the aforementioned 'Play Park' on dukes Ave, wherever that is?!!

Off to Brent Cross to buy breast pads - fascinating...

Do you want an Avent Isis breast pump for a bargain price?! Used 3 times then gave up (bad mother...).You can have it for a tenner.

Bugger! Have got Medela one coming in post Monday!!

Hi, I'd like to introduce myself. I live in Crouch End, and have a three and a half month old daughter, and have been chatting to Ixel on the thread 'any crouch enders fancy tea in the park'. Hopefully I'll be able to come along to your next meet up, and meet you all. I'm really looking forward to seeing some new faces.

Cafe Nero in Highgate?? Much nicer than costa up the hill, and kiddie freindly.

Hi there
Is that in Highgate village Schmauskin? I'm ok for 3pm Tuesday but wouldnt have minded having a look at the NCT sale at CUFOS so wpould it at all be possible to meet up at muswell hill and then I can walk up from Cufos. If this doesnt suit everyone though I can skip the sale! How did you get on with the buggy choosing Schmauskin? I think its one of those things where you cant get a buggy/stroller with everything you want or need as they all have something different and you need some smart manufacturer to come up with one that has everything!

Hi L.D.
Yes 'tis Kate/Schmauskin. NCT sale is NEXT Tuesday 29th, not tommorrow!!

Am in state of baby equipment meltdown...too many choices, not enough experience!! Have already got MPX chassis, car seat and carrycot from Mamas & Papas but concerned it won't be up to the job! Ready to give up!

Hi all. Saw your message on the old N London thread Ixel, thanks. I cant do this weeks meet. Daytime is not good for me. Are most of the meets weekdays in the daytime? My ds is 5.5 so after the school day or weekends are better for me, so I can bring him along. Summer hols (not far off!) will be fine. Hes a chatty little thing, especially about his main passion, cricket, and now more interested in football because of the Euro 2004! Im quite busy at home/work at the moment so Ill keep checking here in the meantime. Hope the weather stays good tomorrow for the not so posh meet!

Duh! yes just figured that the 29th is not tomorrow, silly me! So tomorrow is fine for 3pm if someone can confirm where it is- I'll be there.

That's fine by me! Can't think exactly where the Cafe Nero is, but it cant be that hard to find. We could have a wander round Waterlow Park if the weather's good too, look at ducks and things. LD, do you want to hang out at the nct sale together next week? We could all have a cup of tea and congratulate each other on our purchases!!
Quiet1... I can do quite alot of weekends, as dh is often at work. Shall we sort something out?

Oh yeah, Schmauskin.. have a think, there must be something you need that I can get rid of!

Greetings all,
I am a single mom of twin girls aged 3yrs... I have just moved into the area...N8 and am looking for moms in the area to lime with and to let me know that all the stress I'm having with my girls is completely normal... and that my responses are normal too.

If any of you have the time and the inclination please write to me and let me know that I ain't going mad...... blessings to you all

Philippa

Hi there

I'm also in N8. Bit bored, not used to not working, but quite enjoying my time off. I have a daughter of 3 and a half months... can't imagine having twins - must be hard work. I'm up for meeting up for coffees or walks or whatever - I've time on my hands!

Hey. Ruby Tuesday,
4 months.... is it your first? I love babies and so do my girls.... My best friend also has a 4 month old.... would you like to meet up for a coffee one day... Maybe in Priory Park.... Have you ever been to the music mornings there on a Tues or Thurs.....? x

I'd love to meet up.Yes it is my first. I'm sill feeling slightly shell shocked! What goes on at music morning? What time is it - I could pop along tomorrow morning, or we could just meet for tea. Depends on the weather I guess. What do you think?

Ixel, yes I'm definitely on for the NCT Sale on the 29th. I got some good bargains at the last one I went to. Maybe you should see if you can sell some of your stuff there? What have you got to sell? I have a preg friend at Bounds Green who's due in a few weeks who might be interested in something.
LD

Hi LD. You know me; I need to sell stuff, but still have this mad idea that dh will agree to number 2, so want to keep it all too! Am going to do a HUGE nct next yr i think.If I haven't persuaded him... Anyway, find out what your friend needs. Off the top of my head, could do breast pump, maternity bras if 40DD, baby bath, moses basket, newborn bottle starter set still in cellophane.
Ooh, and guess what? I bought another stroller yesterday off ebay! V excited!

Can I come? i've just cottoned on to this thread and might be able to make it tomorrow but I can't work out if there is a venue arranged. Or is it Cafe Nero in Highgate? I live in Highbury so could possibly do

And, hi Justus3! Do you fancy coming tomorrow? It would be really nice if you could.We really should do a Crouch End meet up next,as you're way outnumbering us others!!
