SOUTHAMPTON MEET UP

[CycleIndia2008]

Hi there.. I am from Hamble.. nr Southampton and am looking to meet up with some locals. I have been back from New Zealand now for just over 2 years and have found it difficult meeting others.
I am mother to 3 ages 19, 14 & 4 yes the 4 yr old was like starting all over again!

I have commited myself to doing a charity cycle ride next year and to be honest am getting nervous.. Was featured in the local rag this week too in order to spread the word and get some fundraising going

Anyways .. hope some of you local ladies drop in for a chat soon.. take care and bye for now xx

oh no... hope you find them. come in anyway once you do. You have the pic of me. I'll be there with prob the only teenager in the place so you wont miss me at least. .. make it a game.. say bet you cant find mummys keys.. Good luck

Yay! We did it! For everyone else's benefit I found my keys and met up with Rosepetal, Mumof2monsters, Cycleindia, Mamanoodle and Eve34. I think a lovely afternoon was had by all .

Hey.. yes had a lovely afternoon. Natasha enjoyed holding the baby. And I enjoyed being able to chat without having my little one. Let's make an outside meet soon now we have met each other. Or an evening girls night out would be good.
Was great to meet the ones who could make it. I gather hollyandalice was too near to having or has had her bubs.
NappyValley & Whoops.. hope you can make the next meet

Hi Ladies
It was really nice to meet you all this afternoon and great that we finally discovered who bouquet was after seeing her wandering around...good job she posted her photo on here!!
Yes totally agree we could do an outside one next time or an evening out...I am always up for an evening out without the little ones!
Glad to say that my DD is now feeling much better apart from the lump on the back of her head, it's the second bump today so am expecting social services any time soon!
Anyway time to bath the kids. Lets arrange a meet up again soon. Oh and mamanoodle your little girl is gorgeous!!

Yes- it was great, and thanks to Natasha for holding onto baba for such a long time.....kai got home all sweaty, has got ALL his jumping out of his system (yay - the sofa lives to fight another battle) and has actually put his OWN bath on ...which reminds me - rosepetal, did you mean it about the tractors?!

Bouquetsofdynomite.. thanks for the donation hun

mumof2monsters.. glad DD is feeling ok.. worried when she started dosing off after the bump!

Hi ladies, I missed it!

I have a 4 year old and a 2 month old - both girlies.

Would be great to meet some more mums in the area. I am in Eastleigh.

Sexonknackered legs :-) Like the name am going to work on mine - think maybe ownerofatoyboy :-)

Where abouts are you in Eastleigh I am Boyatt Wood if you fancy meeting up sometime?

Had a fab afternoon today ladies - sorry forgotten everyone's names.....er Julz. livie, emma Karen and Anita - but don't let me guess who was who! Thank you for getting me out of the house - looking gorward to next time.

Glad you had a good time!
An evening meet sounds like a very good idea! Maybe if some of you could make CycleIndias curry night Cos I'm defo up for that

Eve, wow! I am in Portchester Rise just off Boyatt Lane! What ages are you child/ren?

Would be great to meet up!

Hi ladies,

Just managed to sneak on for 5 mins to say that I had a great time yesterday afternoon, it was great to meet you all.

Mumof2monsters I'm really glad that monster2 is OK now, poor thing must have hit her head really hard.

Mamanoodle I spoke to my DP last night and he said that will be fine. E-mail me on [email protected] and we can arrange a time you can bring him in.

Would love to do a weekend or evening meet, I don't think I will be able to make the curry night but will sponsor you anyway cycleindia.

Yes was great to meet you all yesterday and pleased to say DD is feeling much better today after a good nights sleep and a dose of calpol.

So sad I could not make it. Lets get a date in the diary for an outside meet in July maybe? Suggestions for locations...

Viccy Park
Southampton Common (as the Lido is now open again)
Itchen Valley Country Park
Longdown Farm

I hope to make the curry night if I can find a sitter as DH wont be home til 10.

I saw on the "june antenatal club" that AliceandHolly have still not dropped. Good luck and let us know how you get on.

OwnerofaTomboy - like it like it

Hi ladies! Sorry I couldn't make it yesterday, I was knackered and couldn't face the soft play centre, I don't think I could have run around after my crazy dd without fainting! Glad you had a good time and hope to join you in a meet up once my LO is born, which will hopefully be any day! Speak soon !

good luck hollyandalice, hope bubs make an appearance soon

ok.. next meet up then.. can any of you do sundays? Just then the ones that work can make it. Weekdays are a bit tricky with DD at preschool for 2 hours each afternoon unless we hang on until the school holidays.

The common or Vic park sound good

How's everyone? we are out for a roast today.. saves me cooking.. lol

Can do some sundays but work shifts which include sundays. An outdoor meet up would be good that way the children can run around safely.
Today we have been out to the park so that DH can spend some time with kids. Now we are back at home and I am cooking a roast dinner as the in-laws are coming over. Lucky me!!

Hollyandalice
When is the baby due? Would be nice to meet up with you once the baby comes. Especially as I love babies!!
Let us know how you get on.

mumof2monsters.. if you let us know which sundays in July you can make hun then we can arrange something from there

Hi everyone! The baby is due on Tuesday, but I have not much hope of it being on time. My dd was 12 days overdue, so maybe I cook babies for longer! I'm getting a little bit fed up and bored now, so the sooner the better!

We would love to come and meet up soon, the common is good for me, or wherever! Hopefully I shall have a yummy small person for you all to hold by the time the next meet up is arranged!

Speak soon!

Good luck HollyandAlice. I have an 8 week old dd (as well as a 4 year old dd).

Would love to meet up too if that's ok.

Evening all :-)

sexyonknackeredlegs - sounds fab need to get out more - promise I am sane if you want to e mail me we could make a plan [email protected]

holly/alice????????? Good luck with the bump fingers crossed something happens soon.

Bad mummy we have left J with his grandparents for a couple of nights so we can catch up on some sleep adn spend the next few days together before Spence goes to sea. We both cried our eyes out - Spence won't see J til Sept.

Weekend meet sounds fab - am not up to much over the next 3 months - saddo that I am. I house will be like a shiny new pin as I have nothing else to do.........

sorry forgot to say J is 9 months old. SonKL - 4 weeks old how great is that. Do you go to the mums and tots at the church by crestwood school?

opps again 8 week old and 4 year old. Sorry still great though!

Itchen Valley Park is nice, right at the back there's a fenced in picnic area for sitting with littlies, climbing stuff for bigger ones and a huge great field for athletic types.

Eve you poor old thing! But it keeps the romance up I guess.

Holly&Alice - did you ever find some cloth nappies to try? I have loads of cute newborn pre-loved stuff in stock left over from the Nappuccino. You're welcome to come for a cuppa and poke through it all (marching up the hill to Bitterne Park might even set something in motion!.

Hi BOD, I have been given some Bambinomios and some kushies, so hopefully I'll get on with these. Thanks for thinking of me though!

EDD is today, but no sign of a baby! I wish he would decide to show his face, I'm getting bored of waiting!
