So.

Who's in??

Anyone got any ideas of how we can organise this or what to do, where to go?? etc......

I am guessing somewhere fairly central is best - perhaps a weekend away somewhere. Camping? Chalets?

What do people think!!?

Sign up here!!

Thank you nanou1!

I'd like my DH to be there as I don't drive and my DD's are 1 and 2 and a bit of a handful, iykwim!!? Not keen on camping (not because I'm a snob, but because of the age of my LO's! ) Anyway, nice to have you "in" nanou1. So our list so far comprises of the following ......

Not sure about the whole weekend, maybe the day, if its fairly central, I should be able to do that...

longwaytogo · 21/07/2006 13:07

so where would be central? I'm in i think could be a bit expensive for the 6 of us me thinks

Xavielli · 21/07/2006 15:26

I think just a day would be better for me. Have same age gap as CD.. but younger. Neither me or DP drive. shouldnt be a problem aslong as there is a train station near wherever we go! lol

I'm in BTW!

Nanou1 · 21/07/2006 15:40

hi girls! so let's see.... day seems more popular so why don't we decide on that one. re venue... am west london; marybs is cambridge i think? who else... then we can try and find something in the middle?! very exciting!

katzg · 21/07/2006 15:41

i'd like to come

on our post-natal thread we are having a day meet-up at london zoo, maybe something like that?or somewhere thats free?

where abouts in the country is everyone?

i'm in Sheffield

ps. i've meet PandaG!

Pudmog · 21/07/2006 15:43

Would love to join you- am in Bristol, would ahve to be somewhere accessible by public transport- dh drives, I don't. Tell me where and when and I will try and come!

PandaG · 21/07/2006 15:49

I'd be up for it - summer weekends are pretty busy , what about autumn? Could do w/b7th Aug though during the week. Would London be an obvious place to meet? Katz and I are Sheffield, Cd is south coast I think, and Cambs - London fairly easy esp by train. Natural History or Science Museum maybe - or a park, for a free venue. COuld make a weekend of it or just meet for the day.

Xavielli · 21/07/2006 15:56

I am near Oxford. London doesnt sound too bad... only an hour on the train.

longwaytogo · 21/07/2006 17:11

I'm in North Wales,London could be possibility friend is moving there in next few weeks so would have somewhere to stay.

MaryBS · 21/07/2006 17:32

Sounds like London then! Not sure if it'll be with/without kids. I'd probably get the Huntingdon train, faster train service/easier to park.

Nanou1 · 21/07/2006 17:34

so looking forward to meeting you all .
must go now. have a good weekend and will catch up on Monday. x

CaptainDippy · 21/07/2006 17:37

Mmmmm, so a day out in London seems most popular - I'd prefer a park veune cos my LO's wouldn't really appreciate the more "intellectual" venues!! I'm sure Xavielli agrees!!

Week beginning 7th Aug during the week is ok for me - what about everyone else??

So far, I've got ........

I'm guessing most of us would be "with" kids??

OP posts:
Pudmog · 21/07/2006 18:42

No go to London with 3 kids on my own. Sorry.

MaryBS · 21/07/2006 19:30

I'll be at work during the week. I'm taking 2 weeks off at the end of August, so won't be allowed time off before that...

CaptainDippy · 21/07/2006 20:23

Last two weeks in Aug is good for me too - Anyone else??

Any chance you could come with less children in some way Pudmog?? (i.e have someone look after them or something??) I know that is not always possilbe, just be lovely to see you there honey!!

OP posts:
Xavielli · 21/07/2006 20:27

I can do whenever... as long as its not a weekend. They are reserved for my DP

katzg · 21/07/2006 20:38

week of 7th of Aug is no good for me, i'm in the Channel Islands

MaryBS · 21/07/2006 21:24

Sorry, I meant we'd be on holiday the last 2 weeks in August, down in Cornwall, then Devon!

CaptainDippy · 22/07/2006 06:50

OK - so people seem to prefer a week day?? ... and if people can't do the w/c 7th Aug and the last two weeks in August, then how about the w/c 14th August? How's that for people??

OP posts:
MaryBS · 22/07/2006 08:21

NO, it needs to be a weekend for me, and not 12th August, because someone will be feeling very old on that day!

Pudmog · 22/07/2006 08:44

I would prefer a w/e then i wouldn't have to bring the children. Also I really do not like travelling to London- avoid it at all costs. Would be Ok if I could meet up and travel with someone though.

Pudmog · 22/07/2006 08:45

MaryBS- we are in Devon soon- where will you be?
