come on loveangel and urban where are you. You too malovitt. Urban hope i havent offended you. I honestly did not mean to.

hiya - i'm in, but not sure where Topsy Turvey is, and would it be ok for my ds? he's only one (and my PFB )

Mehdismummy - you haven't offended me chuck, i've not been home for a few days, went to stay with my mum for a bit and only just managed to get online!

right topsy turvey is in brent cross. Its gonna be a trek for you but worth it. It will be ok for your ds because i will be quiet as its monday. Do you want to come to highgate bus 214 from camden. Then come up with me?

well dh has just said i can't use his oyster card as he needs it to get to work. i'm sorry, i really wanted to come i'll come on the next one though.

is there not anyway you can get enough just to get to highgate?

I'm here! I'm up for it! Let's set a date, shall we? Topsy Turvy or similar? Brent Cross is not the most scenic place in the world, but it's on loads of bus routes or if you drive, has parking. I'm around all day Monday and Tuesday, and Wed/Thu/Fri mornings, or of course most weekends.

On the plus side for Topsy Turvy: it has a baby play area upstairs, then downstairs there's an 'under 5s' bit (which is a bit basic, but good for crawling/toddling babies) and the main softplay bit for older kids. It's pretty empty on weekdays before lunchtime-ish, and you can sit and have a coffee/lunch practically on top of the kids - good for parents of babies (or those who can't take their eyes off their monkeys for a second, like me). Yay....we can all make half conversation while chasing round after our little 'uns .
people with really young babies can still come, too, of course!

Downside - quite far from Camden mums, although on the tube...

yes loveangel. We gonna meet this monday at 1145 outside mothercare brent cross. Topsy it is gonna be sugarmatches and flatpack coming. Are you in?

That's Monday 28th, yes? I'm in!

yes the twenty eighth. See you then. Are you up for ds birthday party too?

mehdismummy - we are totally skint at the moment, think we've got enough food in the house but that's about it! i'm so sorry, i would have loved to have come.

hope you all have a fab time!

ooh ooh ooh!! dh has said i can have the oyster card and he'll drive to work!!

what's the plan then?

excellent news. The plan is to go to topsy turvey in brent cross. We all meeting at brent cross outside mothercare. Now where about do you come into from where you live?

i live on the end of the metropolitan line, so i can get into baker street...

what time? not too early i hope. also i'm not sure where mothercare is...

hold it right there. Will find out best route for you. Back in five.

Baker St then Kings X is the best for me...

or get off at baker street and go to bus stop t. It is very near st i think it dorset square. (ask some random person!) and get on bus 189 that takes you directly to brent cross shopping centre. Get off bus. Mothercare ground floor. Opposite marks and spencers. Takes about forty mins. There you go bobs your uncle. Fannys your aunt!

i'm scared of London buses
