merlot just asked on another thread and I thought seeing as there are lots of new members joining it might be possible for us to have 'smaller' meets.

I actual had an e-mail off a mumsnetter who lives very close to me. We were chatting on another 'meet-up' thread and are going to meet up, but when we chatted off the board it turned out her middle ds has similar problems to my dd, which was a weird coincidence (maybe?)

well i am on the East kent Coast, very glam - hehe

so where is everyone else, for possible meets. All you lurkers please join in!

Thanks so much for doing this thread for me Snmum (so grateful). Its taking me a while getting the hang of on this website (dh would find that hilarious as I can talk the hind legs off a donkey in real life ). You've cheered me up so much that I am off to sort out contents of a discovery bag (shiny paper etc) as recommended by the speech therapist and might even have some retail therapy!

Merlot · 12/10/2004 11:01

I'm very close to Guildford

Dingle · 12/10/2004 11:03

Medway,Kent checking in!!
Would love to do a more local SN meet up-the practicalities of London seem too daunting!! I'm such a coward aren't I.Saying that it's the public transport that really turns me off-I just don't think I could manage dd in the buggy-I do drive though.

meea · 12/10/2004 11:03

I'm in sheffield

snmum · 12/10/2004 11:05

Dingle, you would catch the same train as me wouldnt you into London? I could meet you and we could help each other. You know, i could look out for you at your stop, bellow out the window then help you on and off? Dont worry i am crapping it too

Snmum- I must admit-I don't travel into London very often now. I always used to drive up to Dartford,leave my car at the inlaws and go from there.That did mean trying to park at the station,asking for a lift or getting a cab.
Last time I travelled up was for the Flora Light Run up in Hyde Park & because I was running with my sister (who lives in Gillingham)we met up & travelled from there. Quite a fast service into Victoria! Is that on your line?

snmum · 12/10/2004 11:14

yes thats the one! got completely confused coming back from sittingbourne the other day as the train splits in two at faversham and I was on the wrong side of the train

Was hoping that something would materialise with the Kent meetup. Did meet up with Cabdury & Aero locally last week!!They live in Medway too, Cadbury is only 5 mins from me- small world isn't it?

snmum · 12/10/2004 11:21

I have met Cadbury, she is lovely Well hopefully I can come on the Kent meet too

.this thread is turning into a 'chat' thread

heartinthecountry · 12/10/2004 12:25

SE London/Kent Border - I could do a Kent meet-up.... snmum and I were maybe going to meet in Rochester anyway - why don't you join us dingle? - and anyone else...

Jakb - rexandben is in Brighton (ds has ASD) and someone else is nearby, I'll see if I can find the older 'where everyone is' thread and resurrect it.

Merlot - my dh works nr Guildford so am sometimes down that way.

eidsvold · 12/10/2004 13:02

no possibility for me to meet up as much as I would love to... being over here in sunny Australia. where the minimum temp is higher than london's max at the moment.... ( not gloating really!!
