Anyone near Crowborough, East Sussex?

[elliedragon]

Hi, I'm mother of 2 boys and in need of female conversation.

HASTINGS

Not now, I'm afraid, I used to live in Crowborough. Happy to chat on here though

there you go I knew there was a thread

Hope that helps

my parents live there - not that that helps!
Did you go to Beacon then golds?

Brighton here!

No - I lived there when I first got married.

From Staffs, moved to Pembury with mum and dad, moved to Jarvis Brook with dh.

I used to work at Salomons Center in Southborough and loved the journey home each night, down that hill past Neville Crest & Gun overlooking those fields, really pretty place. Now back in Staffs

I used to work at the Salomons centre too. Did you get the large lunches?

When did you work at Salomons, I was there from 92 to 96. Finance Staff Development with Bob Baker

Now you are asking, it feels like a lifetime ago. I think it was about 1994, so it probably overlapped. I worked at the SE Inst of Public Health. Small world!

Crokey, it is isn't it. I used to love there dinners - £1.65 for 2 courses I remember.

I had my engagement photos taken on the bridge over the lake, beautiful place.

I meant 'crikey'

Crokey sound far more fun!!
How many children do you have?

I have 2, dd is 7 going on 14 and ds is 5 in April, having many thoughts that won't go away about having number 3, keep trying to ignore them. (the thoughts that is, not the kids)

What about you ?

I have 2 ds, 4 and 2. I also have the inner voice saying 'go on have another one' but as yet not doing anything about it.

I don't know whats on offer round Crowborough way for the kids, as I had moved before having them. Do you get to meet many people ?

I don't know what to do about a 3rd really, part of me says just do it you'll regret it if you don't and the other part says, your mad there will be a 8 year age gap. I wish I'd have done it sooner.

I know what you mean. I think that is why I am thinking about having another now before the age gap get to big, but children are happy with any age gap, i dont think there is any right answer. There is 10 years between me and my youngest bro! I also think as I have 2 ds, i would like a dd but there are no guarantees. 3 ds could be a handful.

As for Crowborough dont know anyone really, know a few people in Tunbridge Wells. I keep hoping to meet people when no 1 ds goes to school. Does that happen?

Oh yes, the best way to make friends (if you want to) with a little effort is at the school gates. I know loads of people where I live now and that is because both of them are at school. Alot of them are aquitances, but I have made a few very good friends.

Just thinking about it, I am sure there are some people on here, who live in TW's, they may come on later. Does you eldest go to pre-school ?

He goes to a nursery 2 am's a week, but it is strange to think he starts school in September.

what school is he going to?

Am worried about ans about schools for our kids

this is the WWW

sorry zubb

Don't want to offend

just rather careful about www and security

My late DH grew up in Jarvis Brook and his dad still lives there - has done all his life and is nearly 80 now. Nice little village. I don't live there though, I'm in Dorset.

sorry RTKM - see what you mean! just interested as I went to one there for a few months - started with H.
Jarvis Brook has a nice chinese restaurant - not sure its still there though - was on the main road (Crowborough Hill?). Haven't been down there for a while.

zubb that is ok

was just a bit worried it may be too much info

anyway you don't need to apologise
