New mums in West Sussex

34 replies

Janie7 · 17/05/2005 09:43

Hi,

Are there any new mums in West Sussex (e.g. the Chichester, Bognor, Arundel, Worthing, Petworth areas) who would like to chat and possible meet up for coffee?

I am a slightly older new mum with a three month old son, who would love to get to know other mothers in the area.

Hi

I am a mum in Chichester weith 18month DS and 3 Week dd. Would love to arrange a meet. Hav tried a couple of times on others ones but things always seem to happen that gets in the way so would really like to make this one work!!

Hi! I live just outside Chichester and have a ds (2.8) and dd (1). Would love to meet up!

In that case we must make it happen this time - no excuses. I am free most days apart from Wednesdays at the mo so can fit in quite easily!

Have you been in the area for long - I grew up here and moved back after a short move away as missed it so much!!

Satine · 04/06/2005 21:03

I lived here for a few years because of work and missed it so much when we moved that within 3 months we'd moved back! We've been in our current house 3 years and I think we're settled in for good now! It's the best of all worlds - rural enough to be really beautiful and fantastic for the children but close enough to civilisation! I'm also pretty flexible. I'm trying to think of somewhere nice and child and baby friendly to meet up. I seem to remember Charleepeters mentioning something about this area, I wonder if she'd like to come?

puddytats · 04/06/2005 21:33

The more the merrier!!

Iam mobile so can meet anywhere but kbow the Chichester area best as that is where I grew up. Can suggest some indoors and outdoors areas here but if you are a little further out am happy to meet in the middle.

Satine · 04/06/2005 22:48

Janie7? Are you still there?

puddytats · 06/06/2005 16:01

Please don't let this one die as well - really want to finally meet up with other mums in the area so come on everyone lets try and sort it!

charleepeters · 06/06/2005 16:17

puddytats · 06/06/2005 16:29

Hello! Am free everyday but wednesdays. Never managed a meetup yet! IS it better to risk the weather and say meet somewhere like the cathedral green or to go for somewhere indoors?

charleepeters · 06/06/2005 16:33

mmmm puddytats the way the weathes behaving maybe we should meet at the cathederal then go somewhere indoors a cafe or something im free most days so im easy let me know!

puddytats · 06/06/2005 16:35

Hello ladies,

I can't believe that after watching my posting regularly, hoping that a few local mums would respond, I was not around when they finally did!

It's great to see how determined you all are to meet up. Unfortunately, due to work, I don't think that I will be able to join you on Monday, but hope you have a great time. With any luck, you will be organising a second meet with the same efficiency!

In the meantime, I look forward to chatting to you all on MN.

Hi Janie7, I am really flexible so if the others are as well then I am sure we can rearrange to make a time suitable to you as well. If not we will just have to arrange another one asap that suits you - the more meetings the better for me at the moment!

puddytats · 08/06/2005 17:55

Hi all

Don't let this one die!! What is general thought, shall we carry on with Monday and just arrange another one that Janie7 can make or shall we try and make a time we can all get there right off?

puddytats · 09/06/2005 08:10

Satine · 09/06/2005 08:12

charleepeters · 09/06/2005 08:38

Puddytats, thank you so much for offering to rearrange the meet-up but I would hate you to have to change all your plans on my account. So, please do go ahead with your meet-up on Monday, have a great day and, hopefully, I will be able to join you all next time.

OP posts:
puddytats · 09/06/2005 08:53
