Pets corner is great! DS2 loves scaring the chickens, DS1 loves feeding the pigs.

I'm sure it's half term the week after next - 30th May?

peckarollover · 16/05/2005 21:10

Im up for it too especially if lovely popsy is going with her scrumptious boys

popsycal · 16/05/2005 21:57

If its not half term it will need to be in an afternoon as ds1 is at school till 11.30. Hwens best for everyone?
Popsycal, dont worry my ds1 and 2 will do exactly that! I keep stickers to keep them near me and the buggy, when they have lots of satickers they have a treat.

Ok so its Jesmond Dene Pets Corner.

People who are going are
Louise1980,
Popsycal,
Emmamama,
peckarollover.

How many kids and what ages are they?

OP posts:
peckarollover · 17/05/2005 13:52

I have 2 - DD age 5 and DS 20 months.

Not sure if I would have them both depending on when it is but they can be relied on to behave terribly

miranda2 · 17/05/2005 14:02

Hi! Can I come too? Jesmond Dene pets corner sounds brill - 5 mins from me too!
How about a picnic lunch?
And if no other preferences for times/dates, how about the Friday of half term? Fridays are particularly good for me as my ds1 (nearly 4) is not in nursery on Friday so I have to occupy him as well as look after 8 day old ds2! But a weekend would be good too.

emmamama · 17/05/2005 14:27

Only if we can coo over your baby!!!!

emmamama · 17/05/2005 14:28

DS1 is 4 year old
DS2 is nearly 16 months old

Both are reasonably well behaved but do enjoy 'chicken worrying'.

popsycal · 17/05/2005 15:19

ds1 will be 3 in august
ds2 is 10 weeks old

OP posts:
emmamama · 17/05/2005 21:11

It would be lovely to all share, no fussy eaters in our house!!!

Chocolare fudge or how about......strawberry cream cake? Raspberry and white chocolate chip muffins?

I'll stop now, sorry. Can you tell I've been on a diet for 4 months?

Louise1980 · 17/05/2005 21:13

Actually I rarely eat cake. The mood has to take me!!
Shall we all post what we will take on here then? I have fuss eaters but as long as I have Scooby Snacks they should be ok.
