Lewisham, Bromley, Beckenham, etc

[amysoph]

Anyone in these areas or round about interested in meeting up in the near future?

What have you got in mind? I'm in Streatham but I don't mind driving over.

Not sure - new to all this, hoping someone might help me out here! Maybe meeting somewhere outdoors, park etc. Haven't got own transport, but I can reach most parts of SE London on public transport. I am a SAHM mum, so any day of the week is good. My 2 dds are 3, and 11 weeks.

Oooh Oooh, Me! Me! I live in Lewisham, work 4 days a week, not Tuesdays.

How about Greenwich park?

I'm in Catford, work Mon-Thurs.

Am in Sidcup so anywhere is fine by me.

What about Danson Park - just near the A2 - they have a boating lake and a sandpit (I think) and lots of other stuff - can always meet at mine too!!

Work most days but can always book a days hols or we could do it at weekend!!

Oooh sandpit! The sluglet will love that. Is there somewhere nearby where we can but G&T's and sit with our feet int he sand pretending to be on a beach somewhere exotic?

Sure the pub can furnish us with G&Ts or I can sneak a flask in!!

Can do a summer park venue! Danson is nice but a bit inaccessible by public transport...Greenwich Park is good too. It has a sandpit also (no pub ) and a great playground.
I'm in New Eltham, not far from Twinkie, amysoph. Welcome to Mumsnet.

Oooohhh did not know that Greenwich had a sandpit!!

Think you can get a bus along the Bexley Road and through Blackfen and get off just by Danson Marina - near Halfords!!

Thankyou everyone who replied - was worried no-one would!!

Greenwich Park is lovely, I'd be up for that, don';t know the other park mentioned, but I'm sure I can get there if that's the one people want.

LOVE the thought of G and Ts while sat in the sandpit, Slug! Have just got back from hols, anything to keep that vibe going!

If people's workdays clash, a Sat or a Sun is fine. What do people think?

Anybody out there??!!

Or will I be meeting up on my own?

I'm up for a Saturday morning in the sandpit. Dh is working this Saturday (for a change) and the sluglet is always open to the suggestion of swings and slides.

Slug, if the weather's good, I'd def be up for that. . How old is your sluglet? My two are 3, and 13 weeks. Dd 1 is also very fond of a good sesh in the park. 11-11.30 ish okay for you?

Anyone else care to come too?

The sluglet is 2 and a half. 11-11.30 is fine, weather permitting. Shall we do a secret sign to identify ourselves?

I can do Sats or Sundays but only every other week and not for the next 2!!

DD is nearly 4 (next week) and am 20 weeks pregnant.

We (me and the boy 8weeks) are in Eltham... would like to come as well. When are you meeting ? And Where (me stubid ???)

MARINA !! I'm in New Eltham also !!! We should meet up one day (if we haven't met already . ) Small world !

Slug, LOL at secret sign, I have a pink shoulder bag and dd1 will be wearing a pink baseball cap (she wears it everywhere!) Whereabouts in the park? it is Greenwich Park, isnt it? is the sandpit nr the swings?

Ilona this Sat, Greenwich park, come along!

Twinkie, we can do another park meetup in a few weeks? congrats on being pg!

oh, I can't make this one, small matter of ds' 5th birthday party. Have a good time everyone, and please count me in for the next one.

Ilona, hello! Great to see another New Elthamite on the boards. I have a ds of (very, very nearly) 5 and a dd of 10 months and live off Southwood Road...would very much like to meet up sometime.
Are you in touch with Lewisham and Greenwich NCT? We finally have some kind volunteers organising meet-ups in our area, but they're all midweek when I am working . Hoping to set up some Saturday coffee mornings in the Autumn for parents who have gone back to paid work.
And have you been told about Little Fishes? It's such a nice, welcoming mums and babies group at the Novar Christian Fellowship in Novar Road (nb you don't have to be remotely Christian to attend and they won't try and convert you). I really miss it.
If you are interested in either, mail me via Contact Another Talker.

Right, that's it then, 11am (ish) in the sandpit in Greenwich Park, weather permitting. I'll be the very large lady with a Kiwi accent and short hair chasing the improbably blonde and cute sluglet. We have a cow print hat tied to the pushchair. (that's the secret sign girls)

See you there, slug - don't know what weather is predicted for Sat - shall we do a raincheck Fri eve? hope it will be sunny!

Ilona, will you be able to come?

Sat not good for me... see you maybe next time ! Have nice time

Rain forecast a little later today - shall we postpone, Slug? Its looking a bit gloomy! I'm free most weekends, so can easily rearrange.

Well, I have to go and pick up the sluglet from her grandparents now. I'll take her to the park anyway because it's close. If you're there, I'll see you, but I see your point about the weather.
