Hello everyone!!

I know there have been about 700000 million threads for Bath and Bristol, but everyone seems to have gone a bit quiet, so I took the liberty of starting yet another one!!! I think it's about time we sorted a meeting out, maybe we could sort something regular out so that people who can't make it the first time can come to subsequent meet ups etc. Any ideas?

Lots of love, Michelle and 12 week old Will xxx

WHAT?????????????????

Riebee · 13/03/2005 16:59

Sacha...sorry was refering to my earlier prediction for the future scripts for neighbours I thought that Karl & Susan would get back together because they were still shown togther in the opening credits. Come to think about it I may have been having that conversation with cellogirl...mmm now I'm confused! oh well see you weds.

Right, just to confirm, we will be meeting at M&S cafe on Wednesday 16th March at 12.30pm. You will recognise me as I will be wearing the dog beaten look and a "slimming" (ha) black outfit accessorised be baby puke. If you can't make it, don't worry, as we will probably organise something for the following week etc.

My god, I cannot WAIT for neighbours today! Also, Doctors was quite good on Friday. Will Rea make Helen's life difficult? Will Nathan get it together with Sarah? Has anybody remembered that the never smiling Tasha is pregnant? I am just so sad, watching all these things. I need to meet new people just to get a life!!!!!!!

By the way, on Sacha's suggestion, I will make a mumsnet sign to pop on the table on Wednesday. It will give me something to do this afternoon when there are no crap soaps on. xxxxx

hi cellogirl,
how's it going with the sign?
i'm really looking forward to wednesday, see you there!

Riebee · 14/03/2005 19:22

cellogirl...lol at slimming black outfit. That idea crossed my mind too
I'm picking up Jemimah from Corsham at 11.45, we will be the ones with matching babies (they are both 5mths),also likely to be accessorised with baby puke.

sacha3taylor · 14/03/2005 19:24

How old are you, just to get an idea of who we are looking out for, cellogirl and I are both 24! My dd is nearly 3 and my ds is 10 months.

MistressMary · 14/03/2005 19:35

Coooeeee what's happening? Been away, you see.
Wednesday at 12.30 Marks and Spencer is that right?

Who's going all together? Room for one more and a 16 month old?

Riebee · 14/03/2005 19:37

Jemimah is 20 and I'm...errm 30 but only until Friday I have 3ds's aged 10,7 & 5mths
Mind you I was well chuffed on sat as one of the girls on the hen night thought I was the same age as her (24) don't know how much she had been drinking mind

Riebee · 14/03/2005 19:38

Hey MistressMary...would be nice to meet you

MistressMary · 14/03/2005 19:38

Ah well then. We are all babies ourselves

Wasn't Neighbours dull today? I hope it's better tomorrow. I want ludicrous unbelievable storylines, not mundane day to day crap.

I have done the sign. It's nothing special.

Anyway, Corrie is back on, so I suppose I'd better surrender the computer to the other baby in the house, who happens to be 30 years old.

Oh my god - you're all so much younger than me,I'm going to feel like a grandmother!
I'm 43, though sometimes I feel more like a 143 (and probably look it as well).
Anyway, I might still come along tomorrow if I'm feeling brave enough.

Lonelymum · 15/03/2005 09:48

Lettuce, pardon me for interrupting but I am sure I saw a meet up thread months ago for mature mothers (about 35+ as I rememeber) in the Bristol area. The thread got lots of responses but I don't know if a meet up ever took place. I am 40 BTW and have just moved to Bristol, but won't be coming to a meet up just yet (no nerve!)

Riebee · 15/03/2005 10:15

awww lonelymum, lettuce...go on come along, I am the worlds worse at meeting new people, I shall probably be awake to night wondering what people will think of me....i usually end up waffling to hide my nerves, a bit like now really
By the way my ex p (fraid cant bring my self to call him dp)was 11 years older than me so consequently most of my best friends are 40 ish.
Don't they say you're as old as you feel...erm that makes me about 55 today

sleepymama · 15/03/2005 11:32

Hi there.Am newe to mums net and live in the kingswood/st george area of bristol. Are these meet ups fairly regular and open to anyone. I am v. lonley after the birth of my ds 3 months ago.

MistressMary · 15/03/2005 12:43

I still will try my hardest to come tomorrow, got an appointment mid morning to attend and hopefully my boy will be in a better mood tomorrow, very tired today.
Fingers crossed.

Lonelymum · 15/03/2005 13:10

Sleepymama, I am not really part of this thread, but I am a regular on Mumsnet and, seeing you haven't had a reply to your question, I thought I should respond. Yes, all the meet-ups are open to anyone and I am sure you would be made to feel very welcome. Having a baby can make you fell very isolated and I can understand your loneliness. I am not sure where the meet-up tomorrow is though if you look down the thread, I think they are meeting at the cafe in M&S in Bath. Other meet-ups would be in Bristol itself, I'm sure. You could start a new meet-up thread if you like and see what response you get!
Do try to get out of the house with your baby though, otherwise you can find yourself slipping into something worse than mere loneliness.

sacha3taylor · 15/03/2005 13:17

Riebee, my husband is 18 years older than me - and I grew up in a pub so most of my friends are older as well!

sacha3taylor · 15/03/2005 13:23

Lonlymama, yes of course you are welcome .
If you can get to bath then we are meeting at 12.30. Hope you can make it as I have hardly any friends and want to meet as many new people as possible. Hope to see you there.

sacha3taylor · 15/03/2005 13:25

Sorry, I ment sleepymama. I can't concentrate at the best of times, my memory is rubbish!!!!!!!!!!!

MistressMary · 15/03/2005 13:55

Sorry folks have to pull out.
Will be looking for further meets though ok!?
Hope it goes well and have a good time tomorrow.

sacha3taylor · 15/03/2005 14:13

Thats a shame mistressmary, look forward to meeting you another day

Everyone can come to our meet up. I have a 3 month old too, and it's hard to even manage to brush your teeth most days, let alone get out of the house and actually meet people. Hence me watching Neighbours twice a day. It's mainly because I haven't got out of my dressing gown or drawn the curtains, let alone thought about moving out of the house!!! If we don't see you tomorrow Sleepymama, I am sure we can arrange something in Bristol for next time. I'll have to look my passport out!!

Everyones welcome that is unless you are a size 8 with model looks and have a baby that never, cries ,vomits and can wear the same outfit two days on the run

Riebee · 15/03/2005 15:33

my last post rules myself out then...........mmm NOT!
