Yet again I can't find the thread we started! Shall we meet up again? How about Feb 4th or 18th as a suggestion to get the ball rolling?

Merlot - definitely bring ds2 if that means you can come. No-one will mind at all I am sure and there are usually 1 or 2 little ones at the meet-ups.

Merlot · 08/02/2005 00:31

Thanks HITC - just need to get ds1's after school care sorted out now.

hi all. cant do the friday ..is there any chance of a further meet up on a saturday..making it easier for childcare, by the way are there any around beckenham, croydon, crystal palace , streatham as they`re all local with me and perhaps we could do mini groups until everyone could find a day appropriate for all.. soreee not trying to jump in and take over honestly!!!

Hi Bambi06, I'm sure no-one else minds if you bring your DD, its up to you and how restricted you might feel. Charlotte St is North of Oxford st, parallel to Tottenham Court Rd. I think a few people coming along. Must admit I screeched out loud at the thought that a Saturday is easier for babysitting!!! But if its better for others then I'm sure someone would be happy to organise the next one on a Sat or local get togethers.
Chocol8, are you still arriving early? I can be there 11am, maybe we should swap mobile numbers nearer the time? Anyone else coming early?

So, what's the latest? I can still make it by about 11am. Dentist at 10am but just a quick appt and its in Camden so should be OK. Will I be on my own?

Big apologies to all but I have pulled a ligament in my knee. Saw gp yesterday and he said although it is virtually impossible for me to completely rest my leg I have to at least do as little as possible (yeah right with 2 kids!!!)

Sending my love to everyone and hoping to see you all either March or April. XXXXXXXXXX

MrsFROSTgetful · 22/02/2005 21:21

now BH....hope you are resting!!! (is it just me or has "ImuststopdrinkingBlossomhill" been drinking....and then fell over a bottle or two she left in the way?! )

heartinthecountry · 22/02/2005 21:27

Davros - I am still coming but won't be there until about 12.30. Will need to leave about 2.30.

So who else is coming for sure?

Blossomhill · 22/02/2005 21:32

Now, now MrsF, what on earth made you think that???

Davros · 22/02/2005 22:22

Ho ho MrsF, I thought the same about Imuststartboozingblossomhill!!! Look folks, if everyone wants to leave it until March then that's fine, honest! Just say so.... whimper
No really, I can be there or I can always manage some free time.

OP posts:
JakB · 23/02/2005 08:56

I don't mind honey? Quite a few people can't make this one so maybe move?
Who CAN make it?

lou33 · 23/02/2005 09:31

i might be able to come in march if i havent sneaked back to thailand in somebody's backpack

Blossomhill · 23/02/2005 09:32

Please Davros then I can definitely come. Although Fridays are not generally a good day for me!

heartinthecountry · 23/02/2005 11:46

If we move it to March can it be on a Monday or Tuesday? That way I won't have to take time off work (again - whoops!!). Or the few of us who can make it could meet anyway and then arrange another one for March.... I'm easy.

lou33 · 23/02/2005 12:47

enough of your personal life hitc

JakB · 23/02/2005 14:36

Would probably suit me better in March now. Had some sad news and have to go to a funeral next week and I only have so many child care favours to call in, if you know what I mean

Davros · 23/02/2005 14:45

OK, someone pick a date in March but don't forget Easter hols! Weds and Fris are best for me but to help out (easy) HITC I could do a Monday but would have to bring DD, Tues not possible.
Much as I love you all I am quite excited as having some free time on Friday!

OP posts:
Keane · 23/02/2005 14:47

you know I would love to come but

and i ahve aguest tommorrow atmy stinky house

Chocol8 · 23/02/2005 19:00

I made 2 appts for viewing schools on Friday but if ds's school is shut I cannot go to the appts as I would have to take him with me and it would just confuse him.

Therefore, I could make it on Friday but would have ds with me. x

heartinthecountry · 23/02/2005 20:47

Okay, so are we saying we are definitely going to postpone?

And I'm {shock] that you guys should insinuate such a thing about me following a perfectly innocent comment .

JakB - sorry for your sad news. I can identify with the limited babysitting tokens.
