ISLINGTON: shall we make Thursdays a regular thing?

It was lovely to see annietwin, minkey and keren yesterday at Highbury Fields. Sorry I was so late, again and that I hardly got to talk to minkey & keren!

Minkey you said you'd try to turn up at Highbury Fields 2 O'Clock Club on Thursdays as a regular thing, which sounds like it could be a good idea for the whole lot of us - is Thu a good day for everyone else?

Thursday is good for me. I will probably get there a bit earlier than 3 O'clock so I can feed DD.Hopefully see you all next week!

keren143 · 20/11/2004 10:51

Yes, I was thinking the same thing - hopefully DS won't be asleep the whole time next Thursday!

Keren, your ds was very sweet. It seems aeons since DD would sleep anywhere like that!

I'll try to come earlier too, before it gets too crowded. (The only time I made it there early was the day it was closed )

I should be able to make it on thursday too. It would be nice to make it a regular thing.

I'll try to keep Thursdays free,

Simi · 22/11/2004 22:47

Can't do this Thursday unfortunately. Would be nice to have a regular meet-up, Thursday is not the best day for me (any other day would be much better) but I will try to make it as often as I can!

keren143 · 24/11/2004 09:47

I can't make this Thursday because it is Thanksgiving and I am going to attempt a turkey dinner. I used to really love cooking, but its so hard now if ds is awake, because I can't relax when I feel like I should be giving him more attention, know what i mean?
Anyways, are we set on Thursday, or do you all think we should come up with another possible day and vote? I can do any day really but Tuesday and Thursday are best because I dont have things in the morning.

i cannot do this Thursday, but normally I can.

Probably simplest if we stick with Thursdays unless it's a problem for anyone??

I'm planning to be there this Thu (9 Dec) - hope to see some of you.

Anyone new welcome, as always! :)

Hi Zinger, will try and make it this Thursday but things are getting a bit hectic with christmas quickly approaching. Also in new year have booked swimming lessons for my dd not realising they were on a Thursday so this day may be out for me in future. It would be nice to still meet up though so keep me posted if you ever decide to meet on another day. Have a good christmas*

Wed is also good for me if we're thinking of shifting it - and Tue is possible.

Hope to see some of you tomorrow :)

Sorry Simi, I just spotted that you said Thurs aren't good for you - I thought it was OK for everyone when I said we should stick with it. Maybe we do need to have a little vote? My first choice is Wed, then Fri, then Thu, then Tue. (In fact any day except Mon is fine.)

OP posts:
Simi · 09/12/2004 21:54

Any day apart from Thursday is fine, would be nice to make it a regular thing!

aelita · 10/12/2004 13:01

I've been absent on a sickie for a couple of weeks. It seems when you catch bugs off your babies they're worse than any illness you ever had before!

Simi · 14/12/2004 15:51

I know we discussed it before but didn't really get anywhere...Would you be happy to change the meet-ups to another day (as of January)? I can make any other day but would prefer Tuesday or Wednesday. If I don't see you before have a lovely Christmas and I am hoping to mmet ALL of you in 2005!

Either's ok with me Simi - Wed probably a bit better

Wednesday is good for me too. Hope to see you in the New Year.

Agh - just remembered about changing to Weds! Anyone around tomorrow (Thu)? Then we can switch to Weds as from next week??? Would love to catch up with you all - and meet anyone new who'd like to come along.

Hi there! Happy new year to you all. Can make next Wednesday hopefully as long as myself and DD have managed to get rid of our colds.

kate79 · 09/01/2005 01:45

sorry to totally butt in!
i live in Islington and am trying to meet with other mums and babies. i have an 8mnth boy and would love to meet any day over at the feilds or the angel.
i live in EC1 (about to move to n16) and there doesn't seem to be any baby groups near by.
None of my friends have babies and i'm finding it all a bit of a lonley experience.
But i decided for my new years resoultion not to be so shy and get out there and meet some new people, so here i am.!! anyone !!! lol

kate79 · 10/01/2005 11:47

Hi kate! Welcome!! I'm afraid I'm unlikely to make any meet-ups for a few weeks - I'll do my best but certainly won't be able to organise anything (various factors - will elaborate when I see you all!). Hopefully some of the others will be at the 2 o'clock club on Weds though, and with any luck we'll meet soon.

BTW we're considering a move to N16 soon too - so maybe we'll meet up there as well
