Lancashire Mums/ Mums to be!!

[TicTac]

Hi, There seem to be so many support threads for the south. I am 29 living in Horwich pregnant with first baby. I also belong to the Expecting Feb 06 thread.

If there is anyone in the local area who would like to join this thread...please jump on board {smile}

Llou, I have never been on one, this will be my first but we are just planning a meal (La Tasca or Tiggis), get to know each other, have a drink (for those of you who are not preg) bit of a boogie....just a general social evening really.

Obviously it is all in a very public place so you feel safe on first meets etc...

Sounds like a nice idea. By the 3rd Dec, my bundle of joy will be here. I might need a break and some socialising. Trafford Centre is not far from me.

Hi

I live in Rochdale and also a teacher. Two children aged 3 and 14 months.

I'm expecting my first on 3 Nov 05. So only back to shcool for 5 weeks and then taking the rest of the time off. I think the drive for me will be getting to much by then.

And it's pretty hard to concentrate on marking when all you can think of is the baby! Will you be going back to work after? I work part-time days a week which I'm happy with but it's still hard!

Morning,
Yes, i't definately back to work after the baby is born. I will probably take about 5 months off and then go back full time.

Where have you gone Lancashire mums? Have you gone back to work Llouou? Term started on the 24th for me - aargh!

Helloooooooooo - im from Skelmersdale, have dd who is 4 and starting school in a few days and im back at uni full time from 19th - how are you ladies diddlin?????

Hi I'm near Wigan and my dh goes back to work tomorrow (we are both teachers but I am taking some time out) I have ds 10mths and would really like to meet up with people so we can get a group of us together and maybe do coffee or walks etc on a regular basis, different places each time, is anyone else interested, it can get very lonely at times.

Hi, I'm 29 and live in Blackpool with my DH and daughter who is 14 months. I've been reading your posts for a while but have had such a bad day I just had to write to ask if any of you are as rubbish as me.....let me explain..... I took DD to playgroup for the first time today and she managed to fall off a block on the soft play area and broke her arm! I feel so guilty because I was talking to a friend at the time (although there were 2 of the creche supervisors with her and I was only 5 feet away) but I still cant help feeling to blame. She seems to be adapting well to the whole plaster cast thing but I just can't help these guilty feelings!
Thanks for listening to me go on.... I have a tendency to waffke even when I'm not upset!

hi everyone
we're moving to Bolton in 3 weeks so I'll be a lancashire lass too. So tictac, we will be just down the road from each other (btw I had lots of bleeding with my second pregnancy and it all turned out fine although my nerves were a bit shredded)
I have 2 boys, aged 3 and 18 months.
If anyone has any ifo on stuff to do with a pair of rowdy toddlers in the Bolton area, I'd be very grateful!

anyone???

Hi Morocco

My mum and dad live in Bolton so I visit quite regularly. Moss Bank Park is good for kids since it has a good playground and a mini zoo which is free. There's an open farm near Smithills Hall with bouncy castle and stuff. There's Tumbletots at Bolton too. Will try and think of other stuff.
