MrsRecyles going to the Toy Museum at Bethnal Green, Half-Term February 2008 - Thurs/Fri

[MrsRecycle]

Who would like to join me and some of the West London Mums and Kids for a visit to the Museum of Childhood (dd2 calls it the Toy Museum!) Details here during Half Term - Thursday 21st February or Friday 22nd February...

They are doing a Space Age exhibition at the moment - looks exciting.

Sign up here on dates you can do and I'll take a count (just copy my name and dates on your reply). Hope to catch up with some of you then (if not before).

MrsRecycle 21st/22nd

Just me then!!

its in Bethbnel Green! Blimey thats miles away... and you moaned about Merton!!!

Do I need to dig out our passports then?

Seiously - am happy to go if I have someone with me on the tube (I don't do public transport and small children),, Could only do the Friday as I'll be at work on Thurs.

Thought you worked Fridays too Foxie...

Yea, but its half term that week innit? (well spotted though)

We would love to come...I have been meaning to take the dc.
My youngest is 2, is that okay????

I am free every day during the half term, so let me know!

I might well be interested as a lot of my usual activities are off during half term. Will look back in here.

Oh foxie thats good - we can work out transport closer the time (I'll be in the same boat as you - 3 on a tube!)

So far we have

Fitfox 22nd
Sugarmatches 21st/22nd
elkiedee 21st/22nd

Oh my terror of a ds will be 17months and I also have 2 dds who will be 7 and 10 so 2 is not too young sugarmatches.

Anyone else??

mrsR...sorry didn't reply to this when you mentioned it on other thread before, it slipped my mind.

if we go away for a weekend during half-term likely to be those dates ansd, also, went very recently.
it's a fab place though, isn't it? so have a fab time

Oh that's a shame steppie but nice for yuo - are you going anywhere nice?

Yes this is a brilliant place where kids can just run riot to their hearts content. Maybe another time eh?

well were toying with idea of cotswolds until saw would cost abt £700 for three days!! now canterbury being mooted for visiting rellies.
deffo another time

Gosh that's a lot - Barcelona was half that price (not that dh's cheap!). Canterbury sounds good though.

Right it looks like its settled for Friday 22nd February - anyone else care to join us?

WE might come, depending on how the nanny's last minute holiday request pans out. She is with us 'til the end of Feb and has just reminded me she still has 3 day of hols (which sadly I may have to accept is actually 5 days). So, looks like I'm facing a week of unplanned hols. And the Hell if I'm taking it when I have to do the school run. So Friday of mid term sounds very doable. I have no idea where this place is.

I too will probably train/tube it. I'd probably drive to Richmond and hop on the tube there.

Oh brilliant eleusis (well for us - not you!) - apparently its right opposite the tube station. We can sort out transport/etc closer the time.

If you need some temp help at the end of Feb half-term week, my AP (the one we spoke about last) will be available as lo's are going to ILs so she'll be free - she can stay at yours (I can drop her off). I can run the suggestion by her, if you want.

It's looking like I'm in -- pending holiday approval from work. But, of course, I'm goimng to present this like "Oh damn got no childcare" and not "would you mind sir?" I mean cause really if they say "no you can't have it" I'm going to say right which desk can DS play on all day then, and which one for DD. She gets very upset if youhave Cbeebies blocked on the firewall so can you please make sure Charlie and Lola is available for the whole day.

ThinkI'l just go with "oh bugger, darned naany wants her hols which I'm legally obliged to give... as you are mine. "

We went last weekend and it was brill.

Really close to the Tube, lovely cafe (a bit pricey), but they also have an indoor picnic room.

We were there for c.5 hours and the Dc's didn't really want to leave then. Entry is free, there is a shop, although it's not really rammed down your throat iyswim, but you might want to take a supply of 20p coins, as things like the train set are slot operated.

You'll have a great time. Might be a bit of a culture shock if you're coming from Up West tho'

Can we come? I can do 21st or 22nd?

Oh thanks perpetual - I went there with a school trip and loved it. I'm glad someone else thinks its as wonderful as me. Yes, it is quite a shock coming from West .

Certainly Redadmiral - the more the merrier!

I've got another friend coming (non Mumsnetter) who can do the 22nd so can we settle on that date - is that okay?

Port - it will be lovely to see you - I can't believe you'll be on maternity leave - where have those months gone (probably slowly for you!).
