What do you think? Suggestions please..

When we last met we said a park would be better.

As in the title all welcome

Turtle, where are you? Was 35 pounds unreasonable then?

turtle23 · 19/06/2008 09:54

mymble-sorry, have been trying to convince DH of the merits of having MORE baby stuff...sounds good to me. Email me (email addy on this page already) and we'll chat. Thanks!

Hi there

I'm friends with Amandoh and she mentioned this thread to me. I live in Purley, have DD who has just turned 4 and can drive, but I only have Monday afternoons free (except 14th July when I've had to swap work days!) Don't arrange anything round me, but I'll try and come along if I can.

I would love to do another time - DD should be over her cold by end of weekend [praying emoticon] so anytime is good for me pretty much. Just let me know

tyaca · 19/06/2008 22:19

hey all.

turtle, if you fancy a meet up in carhalton at any time let me know. dd now 15 wks and am starting to get twitchy at home! v bad timing as am now moving from streatham so feels a bit silly to start meeting people round here.

re 14th/15th ... we moving on 14th itself... but dh just reminding me that my job on move day will be looking after dd and i may as well be elsewhere . earlier in month would be good for me too tho'.

now, please reassure me that not everyone is croydon is as mouthy as BB's alex ...

turtle23 · 19/06/2008 22:31

tyaca...I'm free most of the time and desperate for more company!! Email me!

splishsplosh · 20/06/2008 22:12

I'm free most of the time, though contemplating pregnancy yoga late on a Monday morning if I can find a babysitter, and we swim Tuesday mornings til the holidays, but other than that I'm free for meet ups

mymblemummy · 21/06/2008 23:34

Hi Turtle, sorry for not getting back sooner. My husband was away and had the cheek to take his laptop with him! I'll be e-mailing you.

Tyaca, don't worry, we are not all like Alex. I've been reading about her in the Croydon Advertiser, what a sweetie!

Amandoh · 23/06/2008 12:06

Hello again,

I hope you all had a good weekend.

Monday would be the best day for me but I'd try to make it on Tuesday. I've not been to Carshalton Ponds before. Just so I know what time I'd have to leave here, does anyone know roughly how long it will take on the 407 from Caterham?

splishsplosh · 23/06/2008 19:34

Not sure without looking on the bus timetable, but I'm sure it's at least 30 minutes from S Croydon, plus when I went that way at the weekend there were roadworks causing long delays, and last week I saw a few 407s terminating their journey early, presumably because they'd been so held up.

Shall we say Monday 30th then? In the afternoon.
Shall we go to Carshalton ponds??

tyaca · 23/06/2008 22:13

sounds good to me.

Firewalker · 25/06/2008 15:58

Thanks for arranging this Peachygirl - unfortunately, I can't do next Monday afternoon. Found out last week and DD has a "settling into new school" visit that afternoon. Hope you all have a lovely afternoon though and the weather is good.

If you decide to go again, I would love to come along. Hopefully I will be able to make the next one.

mymblemummy · 25/06/2008 23:31

I'll definitely try to make it, though I will have to squeeze in a school run.

Around what time pm? Is it definitely Carshalton ponds? If so, what bit, near the traumatised ducks or somewhere else?

Thank you from me too, Peachy.

turtle23 · 26/06/2008 21:14

Will try to make it too. Away for weekend and not sure if we'll be back in time.

Amandoh · 27/06/2008 16:21

Hi again,

My Dp has said he'll be back in time for the older boys coming home from school so I can make it.

I've not been to Carshalton Ponds before so a detailed description of the meeting point would be much appreciated!

Looking forward to meeting you all.

OK just checking where we are meeting I'm off out this afternoon but will pop back late with my map.

tyaca · 29/06/2008 18:25

hello, do we have a time?

peachygirl · 29/06/2008 20:04

Hi shall we say 2pm?
Am I right in thinking that it's the park with the 'hogpit pond' in the A-Z off Ruskin Rd?
If so, shall we meet near that entrance which seems to be nearer the pond and then we can wait for people if necessary?
