March 2010 - Secret Scottish Summons, psssssst, don't tell anybody,

[PacificDogwood]

Well, ladies, shall we, shan't we?
Calling all Scots, born and bred, and newcomers, and ex-residents and any other March Mum who fancies the trip !

How about the weekend that BMI is in Edinburgh anyway?

I am keen as mustard to come however DSs school if off tomorrow, DH is trapped at work (police won't let anybody leave until 9pm because roads/motorways in Lanarkshire are gridlocked ) and I don't know what to do. I have not had a chance to really chat to DH.

I think I have to say: I'll see you when I see you. Fingers crossed!

It is thawing furiously here ...

PD bring your DSs :) I guess we can all look after them!

I'm here! I'm Defo coming given the hardwork I put into getting here alive :)

Heckle Sorry to hear you are not coming, but I understand. I'm sure we can arrange another date :)

Siamese I think you arrived in Edinburgh at the worst hour. I think if you had arrived one hour later things might have been a bit better. Hope you are enjoying the apartment, pizza, wine and DH :)
See you tomorrow!

Glad you got there safe and sound siamese

Well done, Siamese, glad you made it safely!

Apparently the conditions here are 'too dangerous for the gritters' . DH is settling in for a night in his office... At least he has a fancy coffee machine there .

I've made my decision. I'm afraid I'm not going to make it

DS's school is open, but the council are saying that they won't mark anyone down as an unauthorised absence if they feel that they can't make the journey to school.

So we are at home AGAIN.... which is fine by me tbh.

Nice to almost meet you ladies! I am in Edinburgh if anyone fancies meeting up after the big thaw!!

Mawbroon sorry to hear you are not joining us. Definitely we'll need to arrange another event.

I'm also in Edinburgh, maybe we could meet for a coffee one of these days :)

PD is your DH back home? Are you travelling to Edinburgh or staying warm?
x

Dh made it home around midnight.

I am trying to decide whether a MN meet-up qualifies as 'essential travel' ?

There is a chance I might have to go to work if others cannot make it in, too...

All things considered, reluctantly and with regret, I think I will probably not be there . I am really diappointed...

I hope you will all have a nice time. Raise a cup of tea for all of us who are held hostage by the weather

oh... PD :( at least I hope you don't have to go to work!

We definitely need to book another date!!

Any suggestions?

Of course it's essential travel!!!

Scooby it is not snowing any more. It's cold but blue sky. Don't know if you still want to bring your pram.

See you later :)!

scooby, I know; I am a lightweight... just not committed to the Cause.

I have not completely given up yet. JL might be warmer than our house: 16 degrees with the heating going full throttle. Might have to put a fire on - you could all come round to roast some marshmallows

You think we'll manage with a buggy from the station? (quinny buzz 3 wheels)

that the weather has stopped so many of us coming, we'll definitely have to arrange another date.

I'm taking my buggy, but I'll be going by bus. I hope Princes street will have clear paths ... but if you decide not to bring your buggy the station is not faraway.

On Saturday the main pavements were clear, but there was considerable frozen slush at road crossings etc. I would imagine that yesterday's snow has Not Helped the situation.

I am so at all of you who can make it .

Ok, I've just checked here and it seems the paths are relatively clear to push the buggy

On train.... Cu sn x

Ah thanks, think will bring the buggy for extra protection from the cold for Miles..

Aw pacific, we will deffo plan another meet when it's warmer and will all see you then x

Just pulling into Berwick. We decided on buggy too!

Pacific prescribe urself a nice warm john Lewis scone and good company better than guilt...... Ben wanted to play with Joe

PD some pressure for you to come :)
If the weather gets really bad you can always stay at my place! ;) I bet Vincent would love to play with Joe :)

Thanks, evitas . But would you have room for all 6 of us !

I suspect you'll all be on your way now - have fun!

Are you still out having fun ??

I am bored and am beginning to get cabin fever - boys off school tomorrow as well, -8 degrees in our garden just now and 16 degrees in the kitchen

PD,Heckle and mawbroom we missed you!
It was lovely to see all the babies and mummies, we had a great time.
But yes, it's freezing in Edinburgh!!!!!!!!!!!!
