Sorry Millyz - sounded like you had a mare of a saturday.
It was quite busy at McCafe, and i was feeling pretty blah, so all the extra noise around me was getting to me so i wasnt myself!! Newbride - bummer......Cos i come down from Otaki, im trying to think of a night i can tie it in with working down that way so i can get my petrol covered and get some work down that way done too.....how old is your daughter? |

Hey Bex - I'm keen for a Sunday lunch - I'm not much fun in the evenings at the mo... far too sleepy! Any weekend in May is fine with me.
Hopefully we can get a big group together -------------

Wicked Sunday lunch sounds good to me!! My new work may get me to work some sundays but ill just let them know which i cant work if we make a date. There is one sunday i am working, think its the 17th will double check tomorrow though. -------------

I know its a bit down the track but Loulee is coming down to Wellington in beginning June with her DP so that weekend would be an awesome time, and most of us will be within sniffing distance of our 12weeks too so be a good time to celebrate?
The only two Sundays i would be out would be mothers day and 24th May (my ds 5th bday) |

yeah I am keen - I would have to see if DH could look after our daughter during that time. Only problem is that his store is re-opening on 1st May so it could be a busy time for him and the other date would be Mothers Day of 10th May which I would be out all day too. ------------- http://pregnancy.baby-gaga.com/">

Yeah I went but you're right it was nuts! I think a quieter place might be easier to meet, considering we didn't know what each other looked like!
Were you wearing a black jacket and holding a blue scarf? You might have left a minute or so after I arrived if so. ------------- http://lilypie.com">
