if everyone likes they could come to my place for our first meet. that way if any of our bubs need feeding we dont need to head off to the parents room ...(for those of us not quite comfortable feeding in public yet).
starting from Feb I will be going to mainly music on Tuesday mornings and weight watchers Thursday lunch time but any other time is good for me. I will ask you ladies to let me know which dates/times suit you and will go with what the majority decide. After we have all agreed on a time and date I will pm those interested in coming my address. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

ooh teddy bears picnic sounds good I can bring my teddy DH bought me when we had been together about a year and also my many poohs (winnie the pooh) lol
early afternoon during the week would suit me just started a walking group which starts 10am. (want to shed those unwanted kilos). if it goes to plan we could have for eg the first meet at my place and I provide some biscuits etc drinks etc the next week we have it at someone else's place and they provide biscuits drink etc so if for eg there are 6 of us every 6 weeks we are the host. let me know what you ladies think :) ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Here's a question for you people who have lived here a while, where the heck is the main Plunket clinic (12 Richmond St) as someone from Plunket rang tonight and signed me up for the baby massage and infant movement classes and they hold them there.

How on earth did I manage to look at this thread too late? I hope you guys had a neat meet up, I will have to sign up for the next one (wherever that may be).
I would love to have everyone at my place, but unfortunately I live in a two bedroom unit, and don't even have a table! But I plan to move in a couple of months, so hopefully will have a bigger place by then. But, in the meantime, I don't mind baking and bringing drinks along. I guess with being busy with PJ, I didn't even check the Meet Ups forum. ------------- http://lilypie.com">
