Right Scottish peeps, Shaz says we should have a meet up!

[glittery]

I've met her, she's lovely so it should be ok!
Anyone else interested, Sookie maybe?

Yes, Dobbies is fantastic. The Cumbernauld one, while central, probably has the smallest cafe tho.

The Stirling one is new and has big cafe (I notice that quite a lot of disabled folk are often in, presumably because of the space).

Aside from Perth and Dundee (which I guess are not that central except for the Tayside folk) the other big one I know of is just outside Edinburgh, next to the butterfly world. It's huuuggee. Never been to Milngavie or to Dunfermline but imagine they are similar to Stirling. (I am sensing I spend way too much time in Dobbies cafes around Scotland!!)

I forgot to say....

How about we pick up on willow's suggestion that for coffee with kids we do first thing one of the weekend mornings? That way, we don't have to worry about matching up school/nursery times and should be able to get in to a cafe while it's still quiet. Assuming we can live with the early start that is. So, Dobbies, but where?

Milngavie
Stirling
Midlothian

and a

Saturday or
Sunday

Votes from all interested please.....

The Dobbies at Edinburgh is huge and it's easily found, right next to the bypass.

Of those 3 Stirling would prob be best for me, but don't want to be selfish.......x

oooh i've never been to the Edinburgh one!

I'm tempted to say a Sunday as ds usually stays at his grans on a friday night but that can easily be changed to a saturday night if need be so either Saturday or Sunday?
Edinburgh, Milngavie or Stirling is fine with me...decisive eh!

Do you think Edinburgh & Stirling sound bigger than Milngavie?

theve not finished buiding the livingston dobbies yet its only 1/2 mile from me, need to be edinburgh stirling or cumbernauld ones

maybe can make it if its start of week

myra

The Edinburgh one is big and has Butterfly world next door for anyone who might like to walk among the butterflies or hold a tarantula!!!! Is that not a bit far for Glasgow folks? xx

(isn't doing a meet cos she hasn't been posting that long)

but I got all overexcited there - Livingston dobbies (well the building site) is only half a mile from me as well

tabula theres no length of posting requirement, come along!
Edinburgh is a doddle for me, we're up there umpteen times a year at the Sick Kids anyway so the car could drive itself!
i aint holding no tarantulas mind you!

what are all our kiddies requirements tho?
I know there will be a few in chars but will the rest be happy to sit while we have a gab or will they be wanting something to do/somewhere to run around etc?

chairs even!

sounds good!

My DD prob won't sit, we will have to chase her around!

oops.

i was talking to DH on MSN

anyway I will still come to the meetup if you aren't scared off by my weird ramblings.

random...i like it!

did you see my shout out thread below?
just wondering if i should bump it up a bit for the other scottish folk

LOl have asked for it to be deleted, was hoping noone would see it

I did see the shout out thread, have been meaning to post on this one anyway!

now people will wonder what i was saying!

ah it'll give you an air of mystery!

yes, it was err really interesting!

Now I'm intrigued cos I missed it?

Wondered if we should PM some of the folk from that other thread Glittery?
