[foxytocin]

You may think you are the only one Mumsnetting in the North East but you are not. Come on and meet foxytocin and a few other lovely mumsnetters. Sign up quick so you can help decide where and when.

Indith, SPB, BT, Lackadaisy... I am baaa-ack.

was just coming to start a meetup thread!
What do people think?? I could do the 10th August.
What has happened to BouncingTurtle - not seen her around for ages I don't think

oh sorry, just seen that Indith has said she can make the 4th - not reading properly today.
I can't I'm afraid? Can anyone else do the 10th? If not then I'll just think about you all having fun

Can prob manage 10th, we complete then

BT is/has been on holiday

How is the bump? Are we going to be risking a MN live birth?

ah good - have been wondering about her
Yes, I hope so - my secret birth plan is to MN until I'm ready to push and then calmly tell DH it's too late to go to the hospital and give birth in the kitchen
DOn't tell him though...

ooh hang on will that be moving day then???
Anything I can do? I'm off on the 10th, will have T with me but he's very helpful

Moving day will be the Thurs or Fri. I'm sure T would be very helpful though, toddlers are ace at unpacking boxes

I like the birth plan. Do you think your dh would cotton on if I passed you the birth pool, you know, just because T might like it as a paddling pool, not to give birth in at all

Hi there,

I can do the 4th or the 10th.

I have my in-laws visiting on the 9th for about a month, any excuse to get away from them! Plus my 6 yr old son needs to interact with someone his own age, poor love's getting a bit bored with me now.

Well a few people have already said they can make the 4th so if you want to go with that then fair enough - I've thrown a spanner in the works!
Yes Indith I think he probably would Although I could say we're storing it for you so you don't have to move it later! Oh did I mention it's going to be on a day when DS is at nursery? He'll come home to a new baby!

Hi all, the 10th suits me,in fact will prob be better than the 4th.
Stealth,when's your due date? Are you cutting it fine?

Ooh, if it's on the 10th can I come? I've just recently moved to Washington, although on the 4th I'll be visiting family in Preston so can't make it.

I have a lovely 2 and a half year old dd and I'm 22 weeks pregnant as well, and desperate to meet people round here because the only people I know are my in-laws and they are driving me slightly mad!

If it does turn out to be on the 4th, never mind, but I will try my utmost to get to a future meetup.

Is 10th a Monday? I could probably do that!

um hello - can I just put a marker down cos I'd like to meet up if there are any later on (off on me hols so won't be able to do 4th or 10th).

10th looks good then

Spiggy can you make that?

Where is Foxy? Hmm she is online, shall nudge her.

Coming home to a new baby possibly better than being woken by the screaming of a newborn and coming downstairs to find a baby still attached to your mother who is on the sofa waiting for the placenta to come out The pool is good, Foxy's dd2 was born in it too, we could see how many MN babies can be born in the same pool

Have seen her around
BUMP!!

I got her on email, she can make the 10th.

I could get DP to swap days off so I could make the 10th.

cool, I take it the place is accesible by public transport?

Hi Lissy, you need to get any bus from The Galleries/Concord Bus Station to Durham, then the 58 I think to Bowburn.

Unless we want to change venues of course lol

I can do buses! I will just make DD have her nap on the long journey from Washington to Durham, and read a book or something myself!

So is it official?
