GKLASGOW weekend lunch meet up

[nailpolish]

i will start ball rolling

ok, i was only saying

God yes we def need somewhere fr both don'r we? I mean we certainly need a place for the rugrats and somewhere for me to guzzle drink gin lol

What was that place we were in way way back in 2006 prettybird?

Was that in Princes Square? [hopeless when it comes to Glasgow]

I like sweetkitty's idea of lunch followed by a spot of shopping - just don't tell my dh that that's the plan!

shopping

yes thats my plan alright

Was telling DH about this today. Not sure if I will just come on my own, or if we will all go through together and then DS and DH will go and do their own thing.

Any recommendations for what they could do together? DS is 3 and we have already done the transport museum, but nothing else.

Science centre Maw Broon?

Is that good for a 3yo?

Have we set a date for this?

I've just gone and booked train tix to go away on 7/8 Feb without checking here first!!

I'm really looking forward to my "day off" now

First Saturday in March wasn't it?

We are meeting on the 7th of March

Yes Mawbroon - that was where we met.

Science Centre might be OK for a 3 year old - but I am not sure it would be worth the money as it is expensive.

Actaully Kelvingrove Museum might be an idea: dinosuars and big elephants to look at!

yes its the 7th of march

ive heard kelvingrove is brilliant for small childen

where are off to feb 7th mb/ anywhere nice? would you be getting the train to the meet up? we could all go together (edinburgh girls me, you&dh&ds, gingerwench etc)

Thanks prettybird. Looks like the Science centre would be about £14 for DH and DS, so I will make sure they give that one a miss!!

Is the Kelvingrove museum the one just across from the Transport Musuem?

NP, we are going to York that weekend. Got a cheap train fare (plus discount for having family railcard) and will stay over. DH wants to go the Railway museum there [trainspotter] and we will have a look about the city centre.

Yes it is. And there is usually a wee exhibition or something that has been particualry designed for young 'uns and which is nice & interactive.

Remember to make a wee contribution after visiting as it is we Glasgow council tax payers who have to pay for such a fantastic resource!

It doesn't count as a National Museum so the Scottish Governemnt doesn't fund it likie it does the Edniburgh museums (although they do occasionally give one-off funds when the City Council screams loud enough)

OK, will remind DH of that.

I think we will be getting the train naily, but DH doesn't seem keen to sit with a bunch of MNetters so I might send him to another coach.

Mawbroon - you can use Tesco vouchers for science centre - IMO, it is quite expensive but there is loads to do - you could spend the whole day there!

hijack sorry but where is CP??

Kelvingrove is good for small children!

Caz - Centre parcs

I think we will wait until ds is a bit older geordieminx.

oh MB i love york - went there every summer when i was little
have fun!

ps thats ok about dh not wanting to sit with a bunch of mners - i should have thought!!

I've never been to York. In P7, it was the big school trip, going to York for a few days.

But I didn't get to go and had to sit in an empty classroom with the other two kids who didn't get to go either

So it had better live up to the expectations that I have had since P7

you absolutely must go to bettys tea room

perfect for tea jennys like you and me!!!
