What days of the week are best for day time meets? Also are mornings or afternoons easier?

January - I really want to go back to Cafe Continental in Durham! Any takers for coffee & cake?

hi - no need to be messaging, but thank you! Seeing SPB yesterday reminded me to come and have a look at what's going on here... Do I understand right that there is a night out afoot and 24 July is the current frontrunner? If that's right, then I'd be up for that... wouldn't be able to make the later dates though.

Hope all's well with everyone. Looks like there are a few new names which is nice

Yay Hi Sticky

Ok so look slike 24th is indeed the front runner. Where shall we go?

Stealth - or anyone else who's attended one - what are the LLL meetings like around here and where are they?
I could do with a bit of moral support on the breastfeeding front (not that I'm thinking of stopping, more that my friends are driving me mad asking WHEN I'll stop and I need a nice way of saying None of Your Business, and No Time Soon). Also would appreciate some input about nursing as C gets older e.g. what does it actually feel like with teeth? How do you combat the sheer distractability of the older nursling? DD1 had EP'd milk from 5 months so I've never actually nursed a child of C's age before.
Sorry for rambling on ...
Does anyone fancy coffee and cake at the Botanical gardens this Friday / next Friday morning? My maternity leave is ticking away and I need to make the most of cake eating opportunities it.

Ah, so that strike out didn't work. You get the gist

Botanical cake this Friay would be good - and FN we could meet beforehand if you like re data?

Great LBNE - do you mind if I bring Charlotte along to meeting? Is it okay that I'll still be missing one set of data (collection scheduled for 21st)?

Anyone else fancy cake this Fri?

I could be persuaded to eat cake So long as it is a nice day I think though and we can have cake outside, bit of a slog up to the botanics to have irritable children in a cafe.

Oo - sorry you meant Wednesday next week for data! In that case I guess we're better waiting for that. Cake is still good though (and yes C is welcome in meetings!).

What about 11 for cake? Indith, forcast is currently wet but warm ... maybe we should see what they're saying on Thursday?!

LLL has meetings up the road from me (Rainbow Centre, Concord, Washington) if that is any help. They are absolutely lovely.

Does anyone have any hen night ideas? I'm getting married very soon (Aug 28, of course you are all invited) and want a north east leg of my hen night!

Must be very. very cheap. In fact, the dream would be a gang of us in a field round a campfire drinking real ale :D

That sounds like a good hen night to me BP! Find a field and let me know the date!

I can't make it this Friday sadly as my mum is visiting, so not suer what we are doing.

Have fun though, will try and make another cakey meetup.

Night out.... I think we should go back to Capital Indian, what does everyone else think?

Butterpie - my NE leg of hen party was a round (or two) of cocktails in Ebony's and then back to my house for champagne, lasagne and girly films.

It was the night before the wedding so we didn't drink too much!

I went to that one Butterpie, last Saturday, it was lovely!
They're not having one in August, picnic instead and then on again in September
When;s cake then? This friday?
wiush my daughter would stop sctreaming & go to sleep i need to clean the new windows

indith....were we meant toi be doing something? please tell me i havent stood you up. i am crap.

Intergalactic (or anyone with the right age child really...FrozenNorth?

could you use a 9-12m snowsuit? white, from M&S i think?

Tomorrow SPB Just drag yourself round here some point in the morning .

11 is ok though I shall most likely be there a fair bit earlier unless I wrestle the car from dh. He doesn't need ot go to physio any more so keeps going into the office on Fridays. I miss the car!

OK - shutter guy is coming between 9 and 930 not sure when he'll be dne but i'll text you, ok?

There is a fb event, I have invited some of you, but have embarrisingly forgotten some real names or don't have you on fb, I don't know many people round here and would love it if any of you could come- can you email me if you would like to come?

(If you can work that out!)

sounds good Butter.

Where shall we go on the night out?

Hiya all, is Friday at the Botanics definite now? I have plans with my grandparents but can rearrange without any bother.

Am a bit stressed today - it's usually MiL's day to have DS1 but she can't so I'm going to have to bring him out for DS2's jabs this afternoon . Think I'm going to stick rain coats on and get out this morning as he's full of beans and driving me a bit loopy already.

SPB, yes, the snowsuit sounds great thanks. He'll be 8 months at Christmas but is massive so it should be good for the start of winter, thank you very much.

Argh, have just had to book a meeting on Friday morning. Would anyone be free for Thursday morning at the Botanical gardens instead as LBNE suggests - Intergalactic, is this better for you?

btw, wedding dress picture is in my profile pics

that's lovely You look beautiful

BTW what is in the second picture down - I have dusted my screen and still can't figure out what it is!

Chocolate cake :D

thank you - that was bothering me
