~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~SUMMER MUMSNET MEETUP LIVERPOOL SEFTON PARK PALM HOUSE~~Cmon all you northern girlies~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[stoppinattwo]

Well, following the wonderful success of our last meetup, lets try another park.....

Hiya Biglips, it did get cold there yesterday, good job I'd taken extra fleeces for everyone! We didn't see the helicopters, we got there just as the Red Arrows started. You should have seen the people waiting for the train to Liverpool, the platform was packed... we were lucky to get on the train, everyone was squashed side-by-side .

Sorry your ring hasn't turned up, but lovely of your dp to buy you a new one .

Biglips, my cousin is selling brand new houses at the moment and you should see the state of the lovely new wooden floors, they have been destroyed by marks left by high heels! They are much less hard wearing than laminate because the wood is much softer, so although they are beautiful... I don't think they'd be suitable for a house-full of children!

well the thing that i dont wear high heels anyway

ahhh you shouldve of seen the helicopters as they were really good.

We got off as soon the Red arrows finished before the traffic get too mental!!

Agree real wood is a no no, my parents had it all over their house and it had tons of dints in etc. Laminate,we went to Beers on the dock road as it was very cheap. We paid £280 with underlay for the WHOLE of downstairs[34sqft] in a lovely honey oak colour and got loads of freebies thrown in by the bloke such as special sealent for the kitchen bit and colour fill, radiator caps etc.

Thanks for the recommendation Nemo, who laid it for you? (((can you tell that I'm very keen to get rid of this manky carpet?!)))

yeah....who Nemo?? (please??)

Dh he has done all the decorating, flooring, tiling etc etc.

yeah it is easy to lay down the laminate flooring as you can do it yourself. Well done to Nemos DH...dont forget the piccy once he had finished it

Nemo, there's no way on this earth that I'd let my dh anywhere near laminate, he thinks that he can fix anything with a hammer, plus our living room was once two separate rooms, so there's a ridge in between the two rooms, so it would have to be levelled off first, nothing is straight forward in my house!

hi girls not been around much online as I have been sort of workng in a pub and home late sorry I missed the summer meet up I was working at awedding all day

We havent had a Summer meet up since April! as everyone is busy atm as with the kids being off school

Just a quickie
We are going to have a birthday party for adam this year, will be his first party and will be on sunday 7th Oct, if people could let me know who would be coming and how many bringing would be great as that will dictate where it is being held.

Hi Nemo, we'd love to come, thank you... if it was o.k. by you I'd just bring Sophie and Joe, dh can have the other two .

Browny you could bring them all if you wanted just as long as I know..lol I know A will love S being there!

ill come too!

BLS would it just be L or your stepdaughter aswell?

dont know if i have my SD that weekend yet but add her on anyway - thanks...ooh DD loves parties

Nemo, err.. think I'd rather just have two of them, otherwise dh will be off to the pub and I'll be a stressed out mess .

pmsl browny.
Have booked the place where JAAMY had jessicas party as it is actually a lot cheaper than grandmas and will only have our lot in there!!

oh yes thats a good place to go Nemo

plain or fancy dress?

well BLS funnily enough DS asked if people could be in fancy dress as he wants to be a power ranger...lol So think it will probably be fancy dress.

Can I ask something soft though! Can I have peoples address as he wants to send invitations, its his first ever party and he is a bit excited..lol

awww yes ill email my addy to yyoooouuuu!!!

i love fancy dress parties as they are all cute to show off!

Hello all! Hope you are all well!

Well can't believe summer holidays are more or less over. I have not been very well and have been for lots of tests at the Royal and it turns out i have had glandular fever for a while so I have been taking it easy.

Nemo - DD would love to come to A's party. Is he excited about starting school?

Browny - does your LO start school this September?

I hope we can get together soon

Maisydaisy, sorry to hear that you've been ill, I believe it takes a long time to recover from G.F., hope you feel stronger son .

My ds2 starts nursery in a few weeks, but he keeps telling me that he doesn't want to go because "it's too loud" , he'll probably love it when he gets there though.

Hope to meet up with everyone soon .

Maisidaisie nightmare about GF I remember dh had it when we first got together and it completely knocked his immune system for a while.

Browny bless DS2 what date does he start? Adam goes 24th sept and he is chomping at the bit, however he is that bit older and really would have been better in reception this year.
