thought I'd start a new thread for those of us meeting up at Dynamic Earth at 12pm on Thursday 21st February - as the last heading was rather "vague" to say the very least

So far we have got

Cali + 2 children
FAQ + 3 (eeek!) children

Probables/possibles

Motherhurdicure + 3 children
Mawbroon + 1 child
Liath + 2 children
2happy + 2? children

we'll have to plan a summer one - if I book far enough in advance it looks like I could fly up (and back again) for just under £50.....so easily budgetable

can you think of anywhere or anyone she coudl contcat for ideas?

nailpolish · 25/02/2008 13:23

oooh weeonion thats quite difficult inst it?

what about meadowbank stadium? or one of the leisure centres like commonwealth pool, drumbrae leisure centre, portobello leisure, etc etc

or one of the football stadiums? or a hotel with a big conference room? murrayfield rugby stadium?

gosh i really cant think of anywhere!

agalch - my birthday is in april too

aGalChangedHerName · 25/02/2008 13:28

Hey NP what a coincidence!!

We should definitly celebrate eh?

nailpolish · 25/02/2008 13:30

when is yours? start middle or end?
mines in the middle and ive nothing planned

aGalChangedHerName · 25/02/2008 13:39

I'm the 10th and not much planned. It's also my anniversary but i am not asking my mum to babysit again so DH and i won't be doing anything anyway.

If you wnat to meet up i am free!!

nailpolish · 25/02/2008 13:43

i am free the weekend of the 11th/12th - hows about that?

the sat would be better for me

aGalChangedHerName · 25/02/2008 13:45

Can i just check with DH that he is off first? Another night in Edinburgh with a stonking hangover the next day with no Dh to look after the dd's might kill me lol

nailpolish · 25/02/2008 13:46

ok. ill have to check with dh too. just to make sure hes not booked that weekend away in paris (yeah right!)

aGalChangedHerName · 25/02/2008 13:53

Ok will speak to him tonight. You have as much chance of a weekend away as me then eh?

Having said that DH wants to arrange a day/night away but no chance of my mum doing it so a night out sounds great!

nailpolish · 25/02/2008 13:56

dh is taking me to a v posh hotel this weekend. he is going to a conference thingy and the hotel is so posh and luverly i begged i fi could go too

its mothers day and i feel a bit guilty that i wont be ther on sunday morning for my breakfst in bed from my girls...
oh well, a pedicure at the hospital spa will soon get rid of those guilty feelings im sure

nailpolish · 25/02/2008 13:56

hospital??????????

HOTEL

aGalChangedHerName · 25/02/2008 13:58

LOLOLOLOL you obv work too much!!

One day when ds1 is old enough we are going to do hotels etc,in about 5 years he may be sensible enough to babysit lol

aGalChangedHerName · 25/02/2008 14:00

Oh and i am sure your dd's won't mind a bit.My DH is working so i'll be doing nothing anyway.

Ds1 will probably do something nice tho.

Lilliput · 25/02/2008 14:06

Lilliput · 25/02/2008 14:09

I'm fine. Finally dh has a job starting this week. As lovely as it has been having him a home the last few months I will be glad when he's back at work and out of my face. The meet up sounded like it was a good laugh!

nailpolish · 25/02/2008 14:11

thats great! how are the wee ones? i was at the zoo during half term and i was thinking about when we were there last...!

we should mmeet up again soon

Lilliput · 25/02/2008 14:16

The kids are great. Lily is really enjoying school, she a right goody two shoes. Reuben is totally Sportacus obsessed at the mo, we went to LazyTown Live last Thursday which was so funny. The guy playing Sportacus was not a patch on Magnus, he was able to do all the moves but he was slightly chubby! How about your two? Is Melanie getting on ok at school?

nailpolish · 25/02/2008 14:45

she loves school. its amazing how quickly they learn isnt it? their little brains are like sponges. i have biff and chip coming out of my ears though, do you have that too?

and K just ADORES nursery. it took ehr a while but now she loves it so much. she says home is "boring" ?!! her teachers say they havent seen a child enjoy nursery as much as she does for a long time

when are your easter holidays? perhaps i could come and visit you! you have always been up my way in the past. do you want to come out for drinks in april? weve pencilled in the 12th

nailpolish · 25/02/2008 14:46

mawbroon · 25/02/2008 19:25

Hello Lilliput.

prettybird · 26/02/2008 09:28

I'll not be able to join you on the 12th: I'll be in South Africa!

Sounds like you had a fabulous time.

BTW - my birthday is in April too - on the 6th. But I bet I'll be older than all of you!
