Hi there,

just wondered who's out there around Cambridge. Would love to start meeting a few mums nearby with kiddies around the same age as my DD..she's nearly 8 months (my god that's gone fast!!)
was supposed to go to a meetup a few weeks ago and completly forgot and was then too embarassed to get back in touch...I'm sorry!!
would love to hear from any mums that fit the bill!!
xx

Stressed

I have messy brown hair tied back and will be wearing grey tracksuit bottom type things and have no children with me. I am 5ft 4 and will be looking lost.

cat82 · 25/04/2005 10:46

Oh thank god i had flashbacks to last meet up where i was all on my own for an hour and a half!

I'm 5"4, blondy browny hair and brown eyes and will have a mclaren pushchair. DD will probably be practising high pitched screamin as well

Can't wait to see you all!

Hi Libb,
only myself and cat turned up. We had fun tho, cat seems lovely. found out we only live round the corner from each other too, which is cool.
would still be great if we could all meet up at some point tho.
any time away from home would be good at the moment. seems like mine and exp's split is not going to be quite as amicable as we had hoped.
nevermind...like I said to cat today, now I am single I must start to make the most of myself (as my mum would say!) and start getting out and about more. generslly focus more on me and dd and making sure we have fun..hopefully that's where you guys can come in!!

Fran, I have the most unamicable weekend so far so know what you mean - Cat is ace isn't she? I love her to bits and her DD is just 1 day older than my DS. I met her DP in the nursery at the Rosie that same day, weird! he and my ex also work in the same building.

I will certainly be around for the next meet up - I have to take time off at the end of May because the childminder is on holiday so maybe then?

Hope you are doing okay - I am struggling with the Council but will let you know of any potential tips I might pick up xxxxx

that would be great. I'm not looking forward to it..never imagined myself in this position. also have meeting with solicitor on Thu to sort out spliting the business..think it's going to get messy.
cat said there are still some council houses on her road so hoping I might get somewhere nice like that , but trying not to get my hopes up. when i finally, that is, if I finally get somewhere, I will be having a house warming and you are all invited! may not have any chairs to sit on, but hey will just get extra wine to make up for it!! [giggle]
sorry to hear you're having a shitty time of it..just have to keep telling yourself its for the best and things will get better.
by the way, I'm dying to meet your ds...

You should come into work, they still ask about you - and I wanna see your DD. We have a lovely pre-fab building now.

I am toying with the idea of renting here in this dumpty town - it is cheaper than Cambridge and ex can come over in emergencies. We may be ranting at each other but he is a good dad . . . the council told me that there is a real bottleneck for property and because we still have a roof over our heads we are not priority. I am still waiting for a letter that was promised 4 weeks ago . . .

I don't think either of us expected to be like this really, don't worry - we will take care of each other xxxx

would love to see some of the people from work, but I still feel very bitter about how certain peolpe above me treated me when I was ill when pg.
I'm trying to keep positive about the meeting with the council.
if you can't get time off for a while, why don't we arrange to meet up at the weekend. we could do it somewhere out of town to avoid the wkend crowds? just an idea, otherwise see you at the end of may xxx

OP posts:
Libb · 25/04/2005 23:18

how about this weekend? is cat is around then that would be great too! Ex is out on Friday night so I think its my turn next . . . or I will make it mine.

(don't worry about work, the majority are still shrivelled up old hagwitches so you are not missing much - I earn my money and then go home to cuddly cuddles with DS, he is my saving grace - I love him so much xx)

gush gush . . . .

yeah, that would be great. can't do sun, but sat would be good. where do you reckon? will have the car so can come to you if that's easiest...cat, what about you?

OP posts:
Libb · 25/04/2005 23:22

If cat is free then surely it would be easier for me to bus it in, just one Mumsnetter travelling instead of two etc. - it would be nice if other Cambride mums can come too but it is a bank holiday weekend . . .

Fran81 · 25/04/2005 23:28

yep, if that's ok with you, it would make sense!
and yep, any other Cambridge mums out there??...would be great if you could come too?

cat82 · 26/04/2005 10:17

Ooh poo i can't make this weekend We're going to visit dp's family. Blimey Fran and Libb you're having a tough time at the mo aren't you? If i can do anything to help either of you please let me know xxxxx

Can we all meet again another time?

girrafey · 26/04/2005 15:59

Hi, i hope you dont mind but i wondered if a new person could sort of join in? I live in st. neots which is just outside of cambridge, but would still love to meet up with mums etc. I am actualy 4 days over due and meant to be induced at the weekend, so couldt " come out to play" for a few weeks, but would still like to be included if thats ok with all of you. Oh its my first baby and im a single mum so any friends would be great as i dont know any one. Well take care and sorry for jumping in your thread. xx

amyjo-no need to apologise for jumping in..that's what its here for!! I'm new to MN and relatively new to Cambridge so if anything I've 'jumped in' too!
Also about to become a single mum, so kind of in the same boat. You should definetly keep in touch, I would def love to see you and your new bundle when he/she arrives.
just out of interest really, how old are you?

cat- sorry, I had completly forgotten that you said you were going away this weekend. We'll def have to all meet up soon tho. In fact if you fancy doing something one aft next week just locally I'd be up for that.

Libb-would love to still meet up on Saturday if you fancy? what do you think?
