SM - don't know about hotels, but Terre a terre is a sublime veggie restaurant - very kid friendly (box of toys and great kids food).

Check on Babygoes2.com see if they have any uk hotels in B'ton.

Alfresco restaurant, cheap and cheerful italian on the sea front overlooking beach is very child friendly.

Thank you so much, I only found one of those sites with Google! Looking forward to our trip now. Enjoy your meetup!

where are we going - is it on the 26th and have you got a list of who is definatley coming?

i am.

Think its the 23rd?

It is the 23rd at 1.30ish.Do we want pinocchios or one of the ones by the beach?I will book asap when we've decided So far I have written Pipsy1 starlover custardo cam mabs unicorn cazabela rnb majormoo desperatehousewife and me!The restaurants by the beach are a bit more Will post tonight re prices

Pinocchios gets my vote because it's so good and so cheap. I'm on major budget at the moment. I guess we are leaving kids at home are we?

ok pinocchios it is I will ring them at the end of this week when numbers finalised It looks like no kids but not sure so maybe everyone could post on that subject I know my ds wouldn't be seen out with me and a load of laydees but thats just him!Look forward to seeing you all maybe we could arrange something on the beach nearer the summer for a picnic with kids aswell

hi cant wait to meet you all i am getting a little bit unsure so please be gentle with me.

That sounds good noddy, to have a beach meeting with children when the weather gets better. As for Pinnochios this time I vote for no children

no kids i dont like 'em very much and that includes mi own

great stuff see you all then

i can't come. can't leave ds

well up for no kids - we might even get a conversation at some point. My god....not sure if I remember how to have one though...I'll be the one sitting in the corner, dribbling, knocking back the G&Ts and jibbering.

Cazabela - don't worry - I'm shitting bricks! Never done this before (like a blind date isn't it?!) Am absolutely DREADING the bit where I have to walk into the restaurant and not know a SOUL. Aaaaaarrrrghhh. But know that after a bev or two and half an hour it will all be ok.

don't worry desperateh..

I met this motley crew last time...
I just ended up following a tall, blonde, glam woman (Cam!!) and evesdropped which table she was asking for, and as if by magic it was MN!!!

everyone is lovely, and again, fear not- tis me who is the drunk!!!!

nay tis me who is the drunk

No but I'm totally socially inept these days - have nothing to say - well nothing that's coherent or vaguely intelligent anyway. What table do we ask for - the 'mumsnet table' ??

Should I wear a flower or tell you all of my distinguishing feature (I've got two heads and havne't lost any of my preg weight - from 3 years ago!)

oh no - you all know each other! Is it just me and Caz that don't know anyone?

Billy no mates....sob, sniffle....

'I was a meetup virgin'.. until this lot ,ahem, broke me in....!!!!

It really isn't that bad!!! (with 12 bottles of wine or so, it's a complete doddle!!!!!)

what - you're suggesting I sink 12 bottles before I chip up are you? Definatley can't drink that much!

Looking forward to it in a perverse sort of way.

Although still think it would be weird if I realised that one of you was infact someone I know from RL. That could happen right?

i think its noddy who is booking the table - so you will have to go in with astraight face and say - "table for noddy please"

its all good fun

Noooooooooooooooo!
