Best and Worst Places to live - anyone watching?

[mummymagic]

What do you reckon?

I like living in a multicultural, busy, vibrant city myself. But Hackney will probably be last again because it's got too many immigrants or something...

and a red jacket and you knew someone or you LO knew someone(a little girl..josie?) who was there???

dammm, got it in one!!! YOu can rely on me to be late although, in my defence, I was there 10mins early but stormed the kids all the way through the park to the wrong centre and then had to drag two whingy kids all the way back again yes, Josie's Mammy is my manager! she's on mat leave, baby in pram behind her is her latest addition (God I hope she doesn't MN) so.....who were you???!!!

OK, I'm put off because I misread your post yesterday as you were going with your kids and kids that you childmind (in the plural) and your friend, so you were one lady, three kids....?all girls?? I not, was I sat next to you????no, I don't think so, hmm, wasn't looking close enough apparantly!!!!

one (lady wouldnt use that phrase??[smile)woman, 2 girls today, not sat on your table but might have moved out of your way once or twice to let you get to the back tables

thing is i cant remember your face now as one of my mindees mums has same jacket and same hair and i keep seeing her face instead..your Lo was sooo funny shouting Josie but she couldnt hear , but never gave up..gold medal for trying

i live in edinburgh and i DO think it is the best place in the uk to be

wasnt brought up here, moved here, moved away, missed it like hell so moved back (thank god)

id probably rather live here than anywhere on earth tbh

were you sat right on the corner, with dark hair up in a clip? I can't remember one of the kids shouting Josie, was it ds???(he's the loudmouth) or dd (who know's her best)? My jacket wasn't red, my top was though as I had gotten hot walking over to the pavillion, I'd taken my coat off just before we got there.

nailpolish, I've only been on the main drag in Edinburgh (royal mile??) but have been told by natives that that is not the real Edinburgh.

yep, i was also stressed out as having probs with mindee over last few days and just WONT join in with these things so had to be 'persuaded'
it was your ds that was shouting josie i think?

hehehe! Right third time!!! Are you going tomorrow? I think we will, am trying to persuade dh to take them to make slime on Fri (I will be in bed!)

I grew up in Edinburgh, and it is a good place. It's improved a lot too over the last 20 years. Like any place of its size, it has plenty of iffy suburbs.

One thing that would keep me from living there is the weather. I've been softened by the Surrey climate

yeah we are going tomorrow, i have another mindee as well tomorrow, hes 23 months..how old was your ds again?
and dd is umming and ahhing about wether she wants to make slime or not!, trying to get her to do it as think shed like it but shes very girly girl and doesnt like mess..oh and i prob wont recognise you so get your ds to shout Josie again..im Joe in RL BTW

my ds is 4, as of last week (he's a big boy now!) glad you told me your real name, I wouldn't be brave enough to say hello to a perfect stranger knowing nothing more about them than the fact the like to be known as MissInvisible!!!! but may feel a bit braver about saying 'are you Joe?' will be earlier tomorrow as I now know where I'm going. see you there then!!!!

will have buggy with me and 3 dc as today, and the two littlest are prob noisier than most other kids esp ds!!! little dd likes to be centre of attention but is sleepy at that time of day!!!

so what shall i call you then? cos you dont look anything like a dohnut!

Oh, we're a family of donuts hence the name: 3 D's dolly, donny and diddy donut said to the kids when they do something daft 'oh you dolly donut' etc, I am the original dolly donut, but I have passed the title to my dd!!! I shall reveal my real name when we meet tomorrow (very cloak and dagger!!!!)

i know it!..its rumplestiltskin!

I want to get it, but I don't [thick emotion]

you wont tell me your name yet..(rumplestiltskin wouldnt tell anyone his name, they had to guess) Doh, not funny when i have to explain!, or maybe not funny anyway!, ill go back to sleep now

oh my god was my joke that bad it made you not want to come today??

I was married at Rushpool Hall too!!!

no, hahhaha, I was in the queue outside and got turned away but we got free family skating instead dh is going tomorrow (I hope) cause I'm on nights tonight and will be in bed, maybe we'll meet up at the Christmas crafts!

missinvisible, did you think that I was avoiding you as to not 'out' myself???!!!

hmm, well were you, were you??????...you msised fun today, was slime day!!!!!!, took minde 18 months too and she made some!!

I really wanted dc to go but dh says that it's just too hard to get ready at that time of the morning (him not the kids!) I was in bed off night, only just though, I thought about coming but I would have only had three hours kip before going out again tonight so decided best not to!!!!
