Bluewater older mums?

172 replies

Noidea · 12/04/2005 20:29

New to mn, not exactly new to motherhood - ds1 is 13, ds2 is 11 and dd is 9m.
Are there any older mums living in Bluewater area who also thought that if 40something Madonna can do it , so can I, only to discover that you forgot to put in place the army of domestic staff first?
If there are, and you can tear yourself away from that attractive pile of ironing, could we meet for coffee and valium?

Hi all, we decided to postpone in the end as it was just the 2 of us. If anyone wants to suggest any dates, I'm pretty flexible.
Not around for a couple of days as DP is taking me for a romantic weekend away in a posh hotel (with dd of course, so perhaps I should scrub the 'romantic'...)! Talk to you all soon.

This week is out for me - chickenpox has been really nasty so we'll have another quiet week then next week all up for socialising again!

lunarx · 03/05/2005 11:36

anytime in the morning would be good for me, as dh works near bluewater and can drop me off in the morning and bring me back home at lunchtime... will keep an eye on this thread for more details...

sorry to hear about the chickenpox, angelp

Sorry complete blow out here - I did go on Friday morning and I wandered around and thought there was a meet up - wow, it stayed somewhere in my subconscious but my pregnancy brain took over well and true....I am SO sorry. How rude to suggest a date, then go quiet......

Well, if anyone believes me again, how about Friday 20th May in the morning - I can be there about 10am for coffee, then we can split for shopping, or we can meet later for snacks......... I promise to diarise this time

May not be able to make 20th May - won't know until this Friday. Is Friday 13th, 10am any good to anyone?

beachyhead · 04/05/2005 12:10

Friday 13th 10am - I have my scan yippee, so I can't come then. 20th is actually looking a bit dodgier as there is a school trip I am supposed to be going on.........I am hopeless I know. So bin the 20th and I'll let others make the suggestions from now on>>>>>>>

lunarx · 04/05/2005 15:39

have a doctors appointment at 9.30 on the 13th, so it wouldn't work for me.. (as dh is my ride to bluewater, he leaves earlier than that..)

do any other days other than fridays work for everyone/anyone?

angelp · 05/05/2005 07:29

Oh dear we are not managing very well are we, how about Thursday 12th?

angelp · 08/05/2005 08:00

Not many takers for that I guess! How about we set a date in like 3 weeks so we've all got time to sort out diaries and hopefully a few of us will stilol be able to make it when the day comes!

Not doing too well are we! I could do 23rd or 25th May then we go on holiday. Free again w/c 6th June. If anyone else can make it on Thursday can you still do that one angelp?
