Sooo I was at Emma's today and we had a wee chat about meet ups etc, and I mentioned that I'd recently gone to one at the beginning of January at the revamped Greenlane Maccas.
I suggested to her that it would actually be an ideal meeting place for us girls and babies and toddlers and older children and those with no children to meet up. Reasons. The playground is now downstairs. There's a decent eating area right beside the playground where you can see the kids playing. McCafe is there It's kind of a decent travelling distance for everyone, and there's heaps of parking You could always do your groceries afterwards 
Sooo I was wondering if anyone would be keen to get together before Easter? Keen to hear peoples thoughts... I realise maccas isn't the most ideal place, but we can get a coffee we don't need to eat if we don't want to. I will however have a caramel sundae!

I think it would be, if we have enough of the kids we could just lock them in the playground, and they won't be able to get out, because the door is quite heavy ------------- Mr Mellow (16) Miss Attitude (8) Destructa Kid (3)
