Bristol

[needmorecoffee]

awright moi luvvers. Anyone want to do nuvver meet-up and see dd with her stainless steel teeth?

Now that the weather's getting a bit nicer thought it might be good to arrange a daytime meet-up.

Whereabouts in Bristol are you LittleMy?

Westbury Park - how about you?

St George - there's a fair few MNers scattered throughout the city (you just need to now the secret handshake )

does the handshake involve standing on one leg or anything?

i've seen a few mentions of meet ups but never been around for one. I know ChinaSurprise is a Bristol girl, but that's the limit of my MN Bristol knowledge.

I'd love a day time meet up - I'm at home with DS on Tues and Fridays, so name your place!

Don't think I know ChinaGirl...

I work on Tues, but around on Fridays. I don't have a car during the week but anything on a bus route is OK. Museum cafe is pretty good (nice cake).

My DS is 21 months - how about yours?

ChinaSurprise not ChinaGirl (time for bed I think...)

DS turned two last week - Museum sounds good to me! have horrible headache now so going to bed - more tomorrow.

Did someone say meet up?

hey fellow bristolians i think a meet up is definatly in order. (even tho i have never met any of you before) Im big and fat and i need some fun!!! Im due to have my baby in 5 weeks and im sure my little boy would love some company from some other children and some adults who arn't a freak like his mother

Hi charlotte - so you're just at the stage of pg when people say things like 'not long to go now' and you want to smack them?! .

DixiePixie - how's things with you?

Right, to brass tacks - I can't do next Friday as I am working (not usual for me, but my boss is retiring and we are giving him a v sedate party) but can do the Friday after, which is 9 May. How about meeting at the Museum at about 10.30?

Who's in?

Hello, I am in Bishopston. Do we need copies of Catcher in the Rye or something??

what gets me is i either have people telling me what i neat little bump i have "ooooh are you eating enough... where are you hiding it" or i get people saying im huge... oh you wernt this big with the last one.... yeah cheers i do realise that im a heffer i dont need reminding. I indulged in a very diluted glass of white wine and lots of lemonaide last week and all i got was glares and shud you be drinking that... yes i bloody well should be. rant over... not long to go its gonna b soooo mad at my house. whats catcher in the rye?

friday is good for me as long as you dont mind being associated with a chav oh and my son will probs drown you all in dribble as well, its a very attractive look he's sporting at the moment. think we may finally have some teeth coming through... but yeah im in!

It's a book that people take on a blind date so people know it's them!!

oooh right.... i am just a tad bit dumb sometimes!

Hiya

I'm fine thanks Mae, how are things with you?

I'm pretty sure I could do 9th May. Lets hope that irritating lady that works at the museum isn't there this time(!) Last time we went there for a meet up she was practically stood over me and DD the whole time fussing and moaning. I don't think she was a natural children-person!!

I haven't actually taken DD around any of the museum yet, so it might be nice to do that.

Hello - I'm in Bristol as well. I'm relatively new to mumsnet: is there some sort of innitiation ceremony you have to go through to learn the secret handshake? Can anyone turn up at the museum?

LaundryFairy - all welcome at the meet-up. Can you make it on 9 May?

Some of us have met before but I think when we didn't know each other we just gave descriptions of appearance to avoid any embarrassing incidents where you attach yourself to a group of women with children only to find that it's the wrong one (at least I don't think that happened to anyone...).

I'm tallish, blondish, wear glasses and have a brown Maclaren buggy, usually containing a chunky toddler.

Dixie - they've just opened their new Egypt gallery, DS loved this as there are mummified cats...

When we had a meet up at the urban beach, I ended up having to borrow the microphone of the DJ there to make an announcement Don't think that will be an option at the museum though

so is the 9th of may a definate now? the museum lady sound like a barell of laughs... did she not have anything better to do than stalk u?
last time i went there we were asked to leave coz my friends little bro threw up everywhere and had a major head fit... good times

I can't do Friday mornings, we go to playgroup - boo

Maybe next time.

Hi Mae

Friday the 9th should be fine - hope to see you then.

Great LaundryFairy

So that's you, me, charlotte & DixiePixie...

Any other Bristolians care to join us?

bump...

i will put a reminder in my phone so that i dont forget. what time were u thinking?

Hi Charlotte.

I think we were saying 10.30 on Friday
