April 08 post-natal London meet up thread

[Scampmum]

OK - any ideas about when and where?

Me too. Will try and get DD1 to sleep on the way this time!

Damn internet, have been trying to post this for a bit , because the weather is not great I have made a booking for Canteen inside, for 7 plus highchairs at 2pm. Hopefully you'll catch this before setting off!

The booking is under the name MUMSNET

Thank you very much, LadyBee. See you all in a bit.

Excellent - although I don't know what you all look like, I guess you will be easy to spot! See you all at 2pm!

It was great to see you all again, and to meet you, Mum2BabyRoo.

Sagitta, are you ok? Hope it was just one of "those" days and that all is well. Look forward to meeting you next time.

So sorry to have missed you all. it was def one of 'those days'. The four of us spent the previous night on a mate's floor - no curtains - and so we all got f. all sleep. Then I took the dcs out without food or warm clothing (why am I so stupid?). Got caught in the rain, held up at dd1s hospital appointment,, parking voucher expired, major tantrums. You know the story...

i will be in london on 15th august for 2 nights

I might try again then...hopefully I will have learnt from my (many) previous mistakes.

It was great meeting you all ladies - a really nice afternoon out and really good to put face to name! Sagitta - sorry to have missed you - hopefully I'll get to meet you next time. Looking forward to meeting you too Scorpio! Yay all the ladies coming together - VS - so you think you will make it?

Brilliant Scorpio, I can't wait to meet you.

Sagitta, sounds horrendous (though you seem to cope well - I suspect I would have run for the hills...) Hopefully next time things run smoother!

I love these meetups. Wish we could get everyone closer!

Sagitta sorry to hear you had a mare on Thursday, hope you'll be able to make the next one.
Scampmum - I have change for you and your hairbrush ( next time you make one of your quick getaways I'm going to do a sweep of the area first )
looking forward to teh next one- hope we can lure some more MNers to us..go on VS..there will be cake wine fabulous company

I can do around the 15th August too.

Wonderful. Maybe we should set the date now (or soon) then so that it'll be easier for everyone coming from further to arrange their things. If we say Friday 15th, I can do as well.

15th works for me too!

oh good you do want to see me! Will have to be afternoon because im leaving Cornwall on the friday, though may ask dh to come up the night before actually...

So if we're setting it to afternoon of the 15th, would that suit everyone? Please add / remove as applicable.

So far, it's:

15th August, pm:
Scorpio
Sal
Mum2BabyRoo
VictorianSqualor (?)

I can do that - how long will it take for you to get here from Cornwall Scorpio?

As I just said on post-natal, the oxford tube stops at
Hillingdon
Shepherd's Bush
Notting Hill Gate
Marble Arch
Victoria
So if someone can tell me which stop to get off at and what to get on to get to the meet-up then we're on!
Only hope my mei tai comes by then!

Where are we meeting? I want to give Scorpio the exact address for her GPS - Canteen again?

Canteen works for me - have no idea what else is around there. Hopefully it is a nice day so we can sit outside again - although this time I am brining my back killing Baby Bjorn with me just in case!

Great! I'll bring your Baby Bjorn too to do the swop, OMaLittle.

Copied and pasted from last update, but I've taken Scorpio off as sadly she can't make this one anymore. Please add or remove if I've got it wrong.

I'm still fine for this - is 2pm ok for a time to meet? it seems to work ok, although maybe a bit earlier will allow VS to go back before the traffic gets too bad?
