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!

Clarabumps,
I'm in the Gorbals as well and could meet you even closer than town!!

Hiya

Sorry we missed the meet up today but couldn't get my plans swapped.
Clarabumps meeting in town would suit me, Princess square is quite good as the wee ones can run about downstairs while the mummies have a coffee. If anyone fancies meeting there let me know.

Hey ladies.

Jacs and I had a lovely mini meet-up today - her dd is beautiful and so polite, ds was... asleep most of them time... like all babies should be

ooh exciting!! my email address is claretoher@ hotmail.com if anyone fancies meeting up drop me a line. I'm wallpapering this weekend!great fun so I'll be tied up but who's up for meeting next week? Hopefully the babies will sleep- ( who am i kidding?)

Clara - how old is your ds?

just realised you said already.

Hi geordie, it was lovely to meet you and your wee one too

I could probably meet up next week as long as it is not Friday

Hi Is anyone up for meeting in princess square on Thursday

want to share this with all scottish mums. Wee Jack was a friend of Jim Jim, they are in a better place now. He's on today's daily record.

Pls look at :www.dailyrecord.co.uk/lifestyle/real-life-stories/2008/07/15/parents-video-tribute-to-the-tragic-sco ts-tot-whose-life-was-cut-short-by-rare-genetic-illness-86908-20644050/ He's a very beautiful boy.

HELLO! wheres everybody!?? lovely weather today, sun is shining!! hope everyone is doing well. love summer.

Hey all, am totally new to mumsnet and to glasgow!! been here 4 months, moved from near edinburgh, but am actually australian! am 28, have a 16month old son, am a sahm, and have no idea whats on or where to go! love to go for coffee/odd glass of wine!! any suggestions for soft play areas near bellahouston?!? does everyone know everyone already?? not sure how these work!!

Hi all (v quiet on here just now. ust be the sunshine )- and hello to ReneeB. There are a couple of soft play areas on the Southside - Whale of a Time in Shawlands and the softplay in Queen's Park glasshouse - not that near to Bellahouston, but the right general area! And there are nice cafes in Pollok Park (at the Burrell and at Pollok House) - we spend half our lives in Pollok Park btw, so if you're ever around give us a shout and we can meet up for coffee if you like. My ds2 is 18mo so quite close in age to your ds - there are otehrs on here with dcs the same age too, though they're all being a bit quiet at the moment - Weeonion, where are you??? Geordie??? Trixy??? Bookthief???

hey all, I've been a popping in and out :-). Bellahouston and Pollock parks are both on my side of the city too, haven't been to either for years though, so if anyone fancies a meet up then I'm game. DD is 2.5 and DS will be 6 months on Saturday, where has all the time gone!!!

Hello again everyone Hello ReneeB, I have been living in Glasgow for just over 2 years now, I have a son but sadly he passed away last year, I am now expecting again and am due in Nov. I am from Hong Kong. Yes, some of us have met and become good friends.

I think there are quite a number of us who aren't Scottish but of course there are scottish mums here too and they are super nice! I think everyone on this thread are very friendly really.

OK then, does anyone fancy a meet-up in Pollok Park next Friday morning (8th August)? We could meet in the Burrell cafe and maybe take a trip to the swings as well, weather permitting?

I think that the cafe opens late on a Friday, if I remember correctly, 11am, so perhaps swings first?

I'd like to come,

Jacs DD 2.5 and DS 6 months

Jacs my ds1 is nearly the same age as your dd (he's 2.8) so they can amuse each other.

I can make the meet next week.

Michelle DS 23months

ME - I have been offline because the cable to my laptop broke. I have sent you an email.

I can probably make the meet up next week too.

thanks for responses re soft play!! would love to have been able to meet up next week, but husband has a few days off so we are heading up north to go camping!! next time though...

Is the meetup still on for Friday at the Pollock Park Burrell Cafe? I haven't been to the park in a long time so just want to make sure that there is only one cafe in case I end up loitering around the wrong one!

I'm still up for the meet on Friday, Is the cafe as you drive up from the pollokshaws road entrance. What time suits everyone to meet.

will we say meeting at the cafe at 10.30am?

I'll have 2 small people, a red mcclaren buggy and a green stripy sling that resembles a deck chair :-)

That's fine by me, I will have a blue buggy with a scooby bag on the back of it and one small boy.
