North of the border: the all-new bumps and bairns thread

[midnightexpressmwahaha]

We've now vacated the pregnancy threads - hope everyone can find us here!

'Fraid I can't do meet ups any more. W*! Hope you all have a lovely time

free on monday, tuesday and friday

Thursday and Friday mornings are best for me. Although i would do a Thursday or Friday afternoon if that suited everyone else best and just miss swimming and gymboree for one week.

I'd be up for it - any time on a Thurs or Fri.

p.s. I'm doing the Moonwalk in Edinburgh in the middle of June - just the half marathon because I'm v. unfit..

It's in aid of breast cancer research which is close to my heart as my mum is just coming to the end of her treatment (last chemo next week - yay fingers crossed etc).

Anyway, I know this is a big time of year for this sort of thing and there are a lot of requests for sponsorship floating around - all great causes - but I'm here if anyone fancies sponsoring me. I'll let you all know how I get on!

Did a 11.5 mile practice walk the other weekend and I was completely seized up for the next 2 days

Hi all - hope everyone's well? Haven't been on for a while as we've been up north on hols - perfect weather and a really lovely chilled holiday. The boys loved seeing their grannies - both v grumpy at being sent back to nursery this morning .

How's work going Tallulah?

Mondays and Fridays good for me for a meet-up, especially mornings.

And I think 1st week in June is good.

hey to you all.
sadly i cant do meet ups through the week either - back to work!

Well, could we maybe do a weekend so that the back-to-workers can come too?

Work sucks Thanks for asking though . A Sat or Sun coffee meet would suit me usually. However I am house-hunting just now so would have to fit in around viewings. Have sold my flat - move out 27th Jun & nowhere to go yet - yikes.

hi not sure if anyone remembers me I was on a while ago, but not been on for ages. I live in the west end have a dd Lily who is nearly 7 months time has flown by. hope you are all well i look forward to catching up with all the news again.

Hi everyone. I'm in Glasgow, southside and have a wee boy of 19 months. I only work part-time so am free Mon/Tues if anything is organised for then. Look forward to hearing from you.

Hello Ladies,

I live in the westend Glasgow , I'm here with my husband and dd who is 3. We are here from Canada for 6 months and I am desperatly looking for activites for my dd to do. I was hoping for a preschool in this area. Anyone know of any?
Also, I'm already bored of trying to have girl chat with my hubby...lol. I love coffee and would love to meet up.

.

Right, gals, let's get this meet-up sorted - are we still on for 1st week in June (ie next week. Yikes. How did that happen). What about Friday morning? Or a weekend so that Tallulah and Weeonion can come too?

Sign up here, and maybe add stats, so the newbies can see who's here:

midnightexpress: ds1 2.6, ds2 16 months, Burnside

Hiya! It's been forever (and a name change -fmrly angelkg77) since we've been on here - oops! (and cannot possibly hope to catch up, but hoping all are well!) We are around next week and would love to meet-up - we're free (or can make ourselves free) pretty much any days other than Wednesdays...

(Waves to Midnight!) To add to the Stats:

INeedAGuardianAngel: DD1 nearly 5 months, Shawlands

OMG - FIVE MONTHS already?? Where did that go???

I have no idea!!! Seems like a blur of sleepless nights and pooey nappies! And you won't believe the size of her - she was probably up to about 6 or 7 lbs when you saw her, but wee-Sumo was weighed this morning and found to be 17lbs 13oz!!! Dimples Everywhere!!!

How are your lovely boys?

Hi everyone

I finally got around to looking at the forums on mumsnet. I've been subscribed to the emails since my son was born 3yrs ago.

I am probably a little early posting in the meet up section as I am only 21wks pregnant with no. 2 and still working full time. But I really hope to make the most of my mat leave this time. I only really got into the swing of it towards the end last time and felt awful going back to work when all the mums I?d met were going back to work part-time and still meeting up. Anyway enough moaning.

So Question 1 ? any ?mums to be? here due towards the end of the year ? October ?

Q2 ? Any Southside mums ? I am in Crookston, but last mat leave hung about in Queens park.

Where does the group met in Glasgow ? Is it one group or does it split into areas ?

Take care
Marie, Crookston, G53

hi all!!! do I count as have 2dc and another one on the way

marie75 we have a scottish antenatal thread on the go as well if you want to pop over and say hi!

here

Hi everyone,just pop in to say hi to all of you as i have not been on for a while. Hello to all the newbies.

i am off to Amsterdam for a few days.. have to say i can't really relax until i have my baby in my arms but I keep thinking positive.

Hope to see you all or meet up with you all soon!

I have 2yo Tom and can only really meet up on a wednesday or thursday as they are the only days I don't work. I can meet on other days if anyones closer to Dumbarton, iykwim.

Morning - haven't been on here in a looong time as my two have been keeping me very busy. Doesn't look like I've missed any other meet ups but if there is one planned soon I'd love to pop along.

The girls are now more than 7 months old and I'm back at work two weeks today but only full time for two weeks before the summer and then I go back part time after the summer holidays.

Hope everyone is well and I'm going to try and catch up with this thread whilst the girls nap (a rare occurance!)

Hi
Found this by chance when Googling for activities in Glasgow for my 4 month old son - hadn't found much until I started scanning the thread so lots to look into now!!

If people are meeting up in Glasgow during the week I'd like to come along. I'm in the Gorbals so city centre and south side are both really easy...

Hi to all newbies!

Won't be able to do weekend meet up Midnight as am cat sitting for the folks, so go ahead with midweek plans.

Stats: Tallulahbelle, DD almost 1, West End.

Right, so as it's the first week in June already and we haven't quite solidified plans yet...Can I propose the People's Palace next Friday June 13 at 10:00 a.m.? Ooooh Friday the thirteenth!?!?

Show of hands for who can make it....

INeedAGuardianAngel & DD1

Hi there - I am moving to Glasgow at the start of August and was wondering did anyone know of any good nurseries in the west end and general toddler friendly things to do in that area - my wee boy will be 2 and a half then.

I'd really appreciate getting some advice.

Many thanks
