I'm thinking of those of us who have adopted, used donor sperm or chose not to have a partner involved in some other way. I suppose those whose DC's really don't have a practical/legal father.

How do you fancy a Meet-up (am going to suggest London or close as I'm organising it but we could be flexible - say Godstone Farm or somewhere similar)

If you don't want to admit openly that you are in that group then CAt me if you are interested.

I know you're happy to flaunt so I didn;t have a problem with you - know at least one other DI mumsnetter but I need to chek if she's "open".

Is it me you're stalking? I'm out and proud Well, I'm not gay but you know what I mean

That would be great - we'd love to come along (incidentally I think I saw you in Ludgate Circus the other week Kew but you looked in a hurry and I wasn't 100% sure it was you)

I didn't know you were a DI mum too margoandjerry

yes I didn;t want ot out you to each otehr (IYSWIM ) thought even if its just the three of us it might be nice to meet.

Easily could have been me at Ludgate circus (and never in a hurry though!)

Yes it would be nice, even if it's just a bijou meet. Perhaps I was just projecting - I was late for my own leaving drinks which isn't really the done thing

Earlybird · 12/06/2008 17:54

Me too please. DD and I would love to come along to meet all of you and your dc.

spicemonster · 12/06/2008 20:40

I'm bumping in case there's any more of us who've managed to get home, put their DCs to bed and log on

margoandjerry · 13/06/2008 11:03

Didn't know you were either spice. Seems like actually quite normal people are .

OK preferences for dates first - I assume for the workers we are looking at a weekend?

How about Sat or Sun morning in July?

OP posts:
spicemonster · 17/06/2008 17:12

In July we could do Sat 12th or either day the following weekend (19/20th)

mogs0 · 17/06/2008 19:54

I'd have loved to have come, used to live right next to you Kew (Chiswick) but we're in soggy South Wales now. I might make a special trip to the big city if you meet at Kew Gardens, I love it and miss it very much!!!!

margoandjerry · 17/06/2008 22:43

ooh. Think I could do 19/20th july. May I get my people to liaise with your people? (meaning my diary is at work but I can check on dates tomorrow )

MrsRecycle · 18/06/2008 08:09

if I ship my dh off to work for the day (ie single parent for the day) can I join in? - would love to meet you margo at long last - and catch up with you KC and your adorable ds. And if it's Godstone Farm, even better....

We'll take a vote on it MrsR and get our people to get back to you...

Talking of venuews - what is the consensus - central'ish London, London suburb or day out like godstone farm?
