WHat has happened to our meet up in Bristol.

[staryeyed]

Posted in chat by mistake. Could no one make it?

As far as I can remember there were a few of us free on the 22nd of June, but I am not sure if it is still going ahead. I was going to ask you all closer to the date if it is till happening because I am travelling to Bristol for just a few days and if we don't meet up then maybe I'll go shopping

I think I am still free

where was that original list of people...... I think everyone has forgotten about it.

here

These were all the people originally interested:
Headgirl (said couldnt make the dates)
Riven
Peachy
Silverfrog
Starryeyed
Chonky
Davros
Yurt1
Flyingmum
Flame
Sphil
total chaos
tinysocks

are any of you still interested?

oooh! I didn't see this!!!!! I could come !(i confess to being MrsF if you didn't know!)

i meant to say...'Could I come???"

oh lovely another taker. Lets see if we can get a group together -there are only 4 so far.

I didn't know you were Mrs F not that you have any idea who I am. Um that sounds very stalkerish -I read a lot of you threads while I was searching the archives for ASD info.

Hi Staryeyed!!!

I'm a secret stalker too!!!!
(did we ever 'chat' when i was MrsF???)

I'd be looking at the bristol meetup.

No we didn't chat but you know when you just read through old threads and you feel like you get to know people a bit. I thought a lot of the people that were around when I first joined had disappeared now I see everyone has just name changed. I dont pick up very quickly on name changes unless they are obvious. It took me ages to realise that yurt/gess was also jimjams.

MRSF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was only wondering where you were the other day You were one of the first SN mums to make me feel welcome (not that everyone didn't but you stood out )

I really don't get on here as much as i'd like to and miss it so much when i'm elsewhere!

Everytime something happens...good,bad,funny or sad I find myself thinking of mumsnet as for me there was a time when i depended so much on just being able to post on here. One particular day was a wet monday morning when i walked back from the school crying. I came straight in and went on MN and posted how i felt- i've never forgotten that day.

I guess i've been on here 5 or 6 years now!!!!

yes, still interested

I'm really sorry but don't think I can make it now. DH is going to The Gambia for a week the next day and think for DS2's sake we need to have a routine stay-at home weekend.

And yes, this Gambia trip has been slightly sprung upon me...

oh dear Sphil, bet you aren't pleased. DH tried to suggest he might be busy climbing Scafell Pike that weekend - so I intimated that he could jolly well climb it the next weekend.

Well he did say 'Can I go?' and I HATE that so I said yes

oh you softy. What a shame! And I was going to ask you about mainstream schooling and IEPs, nevermind, enjoy a cozy weekend with the DSs.

Oh I'm sorry Tinysocks. I can talk for England on that . CAT me any time, you know that.

(DS2 has just gone off for his first ever full day at school - a farm trip. Am feeling a bit nervous...)

aww, thank you so much for the offer sphil. To be honest DS isn't close to being toilet independant yet , so no school for him just yet.
But when the time comes I will take on (or is take up?) your really kind offer (sorry english is not my first language and sometime I doubt my grammar, not a very good excuse). I don't even know how an IEP looks like or what it should contain.

Good luck with the farm trip!!!

Sorry, i won't be able to make it either. We've just had 2 weekends of manic family meet-ups, and next weekend I'm away all weekend as well, so after that dd1 is due a quiet weekend at home...

Hope you all have a good time

Shall we delay then for a date when everyone can make it?

Yes I think it is a good idea to delay it so that most of you can make it.
It would have been nice to meet you all, but hopefully some other time.

Tinysocks - DS2 is still in nappies too. No progress as yet on toilet training, though they are trying at at school. The school are fine with it, though I know this isn't always the case in m/s schools.

Oh really? That makes me feel better sphil.
The school he needs to go to won't take him unless he is toilet independant. I really wish they were a little more flexible about it, but according to them, the law doesn't allow them to (I don't live in the UK)

I'd love to come but on another date, we're on hols that weekend.
