anyone fancy a coffee in Stokey

[janx]

Hi
My name is Jan and I have a 5 month old dd - just extended my maternity leave for another 3 months (hurray!) - anyone fancy meeting for a coffee in Stoke Newington one afternoon?

I agree bumptobabies - I'd like to live back at Stokey too! I actually live in lower clapton now but it's only a short bus journey up there or I walk.

Thank you gossifer, you should be an estate agent (and I mean that in a nice way), certainly convinced me. Will have a look at some properties at the weekend, might have to move out a bit further though as it is still quite expensive but might join you for a coffee soon!

Must get broadband - got phone bill recently and am obviously spending some much time on internet!!! Anyone recommend a service - so many to chose from? Isn't the weather lovely? just had a nice picnic in springfield park...shall we meet next week? I am fairly free except friday xx

Hi everyone, I am NOT enjoying the sunshine due to hayfever, a back problem and a deadline! Just wondering who's going to the Stoke Newington Festival this weekend? My friend's partner's band is playing at 5pm, they are called Bikini Beach, so that's where I'll be!

JanX, I haven't had any probs with btinternet broadband. I don't know if they're the cheapest, but they do seem very reliable.

oooooooh Arabica I love bikini beach band!! Saw them a couple of years ago and have since discovered my friend knows them. We have been invited to lunch on Sunday, so not sure we can make it . Hope your back gets better and thanks for broadband tip

janx, we have telewest, phone(free evenings and weekends), sky and broadband for £60 a month, no probs with service, i've just got back from picking elderflowers at springfield to make cordial, must have missed you!
anyday except thurs is good for me
arabica - i'm so sorry about your hay fever, have you seen a homeopath? guess what, my partner knows someone in bikini beach as well!
have a good weekend you all, we're off to the country, xxxxxx

gossifer - shame we missed you at Springfield. We have bt line and don't want to change, so looking for something compatible. Frida seems to heading for her 7th tooth!! and has been suffering a bit today - how is Ethan doing Zammo?

what time does the festival start and whats on?

Hi all I am based in Tottenham and I understand I cn walk along the canal path to Springfield Park, before I embark on the trip what is there? Also do you have any idea how long it takes?

If any other N17 mothers reading went to a nice Drum and Babies group in Welbourne Primary School, Thursday 1-2pm 0-18mths, 2-3pm 18mth to 4years, it is free!!
Cheers

hello wendy! where is welbourne primary school? sounds good
i've never done the walk along the canal but springfield park has a lovely, v.child friendly cafe with big garden, there's a pond and then you walk down a hill to the canal, on the other side of the canal is a nature reserve and the hackney marshes which is wild, almosy feels like you're in the country!
hope you all have a lovely weekend at the festival - lets arrange something, the farm perhaps for next week? xxxxx

hi wendy im in n17 and ive been to drum and babes do you go to the first or second hour?the walk to springfield park is nice takes a good hour at my pace and it depends where you are in tottenham.
city farm sounds good cant do wed or fri.

Hiya everyone, if you are free on Sunday and want to know more about the festival here is a link

Hiya Dinosaur! I am fine apart from bad back etc (see below) Church St's probably only being closed to traffic for the parade at the beginning of the festival--the main part of the festival is in the park.

Bumpto babies
I have gone to the 1st hour 1-2pm, I think in needs a few more and it would be better.

Gossifer Welbourne is N15 near Tottenham Hale Tube.

Cheers

wendy how old are your children ds is 20mth dd is 10yrs.do you go to any drop ins

janx - wow, Frida's on her 7th tooth! Ethan's teething has eased up for the moment (he's very happy about that!). I'm going to try broadband with Virgin very soon. It's £15.99 per month.
gossifer - we're not around this week but hope to catch up with you and everyone very soon. Think we're free again next monday and friday.

hi Zammo - actually spotted another tooth so that will be 8. She is suffering quite a bit with these 2 poor little thing. We are off to Devon at the weekend - just for a few days - back on Weds so can do something on Friday

Bumptobabies
Mine Ds is 6mths. I have started to go to a free swimming session on Wednesday mornings at Tottenham Green Pool 10.30-11.30 4mths to 4years, Just starting to find out about things in my area. Do you know of any other good things in N17-N15

Hi wendymb
I was thinking about trying that pool - where abouts is it? can you park? I don't know of other things in Tottenham, but am up on free things in Stoke Newington/stamford hill

hello all! so sorry to hear about the teeth probs, i think leon might be joining the teething brigade
we've been up all night with him with a cold and i think pain from his first tooth
anyways - we must meet next week, so how about friday so that janx is back and zammo can make it? if its sunny what about a mini picnic in the park ( springfield)? xxx

Hello gossifer! That sounds like a great idea. Count me in.
Poor Leon - hope he has a better night tonight (and you). xx

Good idea - we love picnics
Poor leon and you - thankfully Frida has only had one bad cold but they get so congested - have you tried propping him up a bit in bed?- I put my bf pillow under her sheet so she was slightly raised and it helped her breathing - also put a drop of olbus oil (not sure how you spell it) on a tissue near him, but out of reach so he can breath it in - smells lovely
Zammo - on the broadband front - how many megabytes is that on virgin?

janx - on virgin's plan 3 (which I think I'll try) it's 3GB monthly download and 512 Kbps. It's £14.99 (not £15.99 as I wrote before).
Have a lovely time in Devon!
