Mums in Central Scotland

[debbiej]

Hiya folks. I noticed in an old discussion you were trying to get a meet up organised. Did it ever happen? I am new to mumsnet. I have a 19 month old son and would like to chat to local mums. I am based in Edinburgh!! Hope to hear from you soon!!!

There seems to be a few who cant make the 3rd we could always change the date to a more suitable one?

I agree that the 3rd doesn't seem so suitable - unless those that have already expressed an interest are still keen. We can always organise an ADDITIONAL date instead of an alternative date.

Comments please....! especially from Debbiej, Janeway, Harrysmum, Loobie and Suedonim who'd all (sort of) expressed an interest in the 3rd. Do you still want to go ahead or should we go for another date?

Plus, is anyone else interested in either the 3rd or an alternative date?

Sorry - have been holding off confirming because we had an unexpected request from family to come and stay - they have now confirmed and it's definitely the weekend of the 3rd - so sorry for messing this around. Other weekends? Rest of August not brilliant until the end (and even then we may - hopefully - actually be on holiday!) or into September? Could try to do Glasgow then if dh isn't working although east coast is still easier in terms of cutting down travel time.

Don't take me into account, please, because I can't make any firm committments. It's well-nigh impossible for 16yr old dd to be up and dressed and down in Edin by lunchtime!! She doesn't do mornings. But I'll keep an eye on this page and if it's possible, I may pop in.

i dont mind i could do another date but would still prefer edinburgh as the location though.

I am open to suggestions for alternative dates if majority feels 3rd is out. Although I am unavailable for the other Sundays in August. Maybe 31st though, or into September!!

can't do mid August (10-18th) or late september (20th onwards) but other than that my weekends are relatively open. I'm happy to go for another day if that means more people can come

31st anyone? Edinburgh seems to be the preferred location.

i can do 31st august in edinburgh with kids im afraid.

does anyone else have an interest in these new dates or are we just gonna go for the the third which incidentlly is this sunday.

I think at this late stage, we should put our efforts into 31st August - unless someone comes up with an alternative date - and then go for it, however many people say that they can make it!

At the moment it's only you and me, and your kids, for 31 August. Anyone else....??!!

Count me in for 31st August as well, although I am hoping that the night before hubby and I will be out to celebrate our anniversary, so may be slightly hungover - doesn't take much these days!!!

any body adding on or is it just us three and my brood?

Sorry - I can't make it on 31st. Have a nice time

31st is fine by me also

Sorry, 31st not possible for me either.

So what's the general concensus then? 31st for a few of us?

So where are we going then? is it still ok that i bring my cherubs?

I think - if they are still interested in the 31st - that there are just 4 of us plus Loobie's kids - debbiej, loobie, janeway and me. Anyone else?

I'd suggest Agenda again, for lunch - I think it's close for the two Edinburgh based Mumsnetters, it's got good food and there is a kid's play area. But I'm not from Edinburgh - so does anyone else has a better suggestion?

If we're going to go ahead this time, we'd better commit now!

Im up for it agenda is fine by me, anyone else bringing kids?

I've not yet discussed it with dh, so depending on what he wants to do that day, I might bring ds (3). He loves trains, so would enjoy the trip over as a treat in itself. Plus he had a whale of a time last year in the soft play area.

I'll come too, with kids ages 6 and 8. Agenda in Corstorphine? What time?

What about meeting at 12, and book a table for 12.30. The play area is through in the dining area, so you can't really have a drink in the bar without the kids - although the bar are was large enough for ds to run around in for a while while we had an initial drink and chat last year.

So far, that is 3 adults confirmed, with 5 maybe 6 kids (age range, 8,7,6,5, 8 months and maybe my ds, almost 3). Good thing they've got a good play area!

Anyone else interested in coming along? Janeway and debbiej - you said you could make the 31st. What about the rest of you Scots/adopted Scots/immigrants/lost souls?

Sorry not to be in contact. Dh and I are 'on holiday', which means days here and there. Saying that we were in Blackpool over the weekend!!!
If other kids are coming I will bring my ds (who's 20 months).
Time and location are fine for me.

JanZ, just to confirm I can't make the 31st either, but have fun!
