Katy we are thinking of going for the first Monday/Tuesday of each month, probably we'll alternate between Mondays and Tuesdays because of people's availability. So the June one has happened and the July one is probably going to be a Monday - either the 2nd or the 9th. But then I see you're due on the 2nd  Reckon you'll still be available then? Otherwise you can always catch up in Aug/Sept I guess.
All the best, not long to wait now -------------  |

Ooo I was thinking of coming to a Palmy meet up before I go back to work. I may see if any other Welly mums want to come up for a day trip too. It would be good to meet with you all and catch up with both the becks that I have already meet. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Hello Palmy mums, I need your help.
I have friends coming to stay with their 4 month old baby, and 7 year old daughter. need suggestions of what to do/see/activites that are baby friendly, but interesting enough for a 7 year old. We've been to Owlcatraz, and will probably go to the mini golf. |

Kels that would be so cool if a group of you come on up. You could have a fun shopping stop at Otaki on the way up and buy up at PP. Fleury, the esplanade if its a fine day, a trip up to the wind farm could be fun for the girl seing the turbines up close. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

Only the wind turbines if they are not sick of being in the car already 
There's the library (great place to hang out and read even if you don't get books out), Te Manawa, Leisureplex, Downtown maybe...? ------------- |

Is the Leisureplex aka 'the lido'? If it is - it's a winner for a primary schooler. Hopefully the 4-month-old will keep themselves entertained trying to roll over or something - no need to find activities for them, more for the mum, I imagine! ...so, either the 2nd or the 9th it is? Maybe the 2nd would give Katy a little more opportunity to come out and play with us, should bubs not have made a move yet? Dunno - how'd you feel about spending a little of your due date meeting us, Katy? Of course, you might very well be busy with a newborn instead - all the best for the next few weeks, eh. ------------- Andie |

thanks andie- i would def love to join you on the 2nd if all is well! id have to see how things are of course! dont worry if the 9th ends up more convenient for you all tho! i will be there for sure by aug so i'l keep checking on here to see whats happening!
i'll put a message up wen bubs arrives!!  ------------- katy shaw.due 02/07/07. palmerston north |

Andie, Leisureplex is the new thing put up which covers superbowl and mini golf and I forget what else But the Lido is a good idea too. ------------- |

Or we could all come to your place, Stacey!!! Kidding - I'm kidding! Maybe still have it then, but a different venue cause of the hols? Not that I've got any ideas for where. Lollipops playland? Thought that'd probably be even busier... ------------- Andie |

Lollipops will be busier and it's not all that great there. Stacey you'll be fine with him. Maybe someone with a largeish living area wants to put there house up there?? I would but mine is teeny tiny. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

| I'm out. Won't be in Palmerston til later. will be on the 4th and 5th but will be flat out doing job intervewis and looking at flats, so probably no time. you'll all just have to wait to see me (I;m building the suspense here - hope no one gets let down after I build myseflf up like this) |

I dont mind having it at my house? Will have to be second week of hols though cause I have family coming to meet James.
Stacey Im terrified about venturing out! I did last week and Kayla threw a paddy in the supermarket and James started screaming ------------- Kayla Rose is now 4! James Sydney is nearly 2! |

hehe kell I'm the same. Except I'm more worried about him suddenly wanting to be a piggy than screaming. The screaming I can deal with, but wanting to be a piggy at an annoying moment would be frustrating.
I have the big living room - well I think it's big.. |

Yes it is big. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

Ooooh that's the most fun.
The one thing my girls hate most, is when i just walk away from their tantrums. I do that most places.. (not far away, just begin to walk away) ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

lol you should have seen the looks I got in the supermarket when I did that! And James was screaming away...I had to smile or I would have cried. Kayla was eating lollies out of the bulk bins, I dont know what has got in to her? ------------- Kayla Rose is now 4! James Sydney is nearly 2! |

He really sounds like a piggy at the moment. He snorts like crazy because he's got a blocked nose and is even worse if my thumb slips and he doesn't have a big enough gap to breathe (damn big boobs!!!!! lol) |

It looks like the second week is probably easiest. Where we have it is now the question. I can top the tantrums, a 4 month old and a 3 year old but crying and screaming at the same time. It was at home so I just walked away and let DH handle it. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

Ekkk, at least they can all have a cry together then!!
I have a big lounge but im in Rongotea so if you dont want to travel to me maybe Staceys house? and I will venture into town..... ------------- Kayla Rose is now 4! James Sydney is nearly 2! |

It's tough now Kell, but Kayla will "grow up" soon and things settle down. We just went through a tough re-learning time with Hannah but she's sweet now, Briona's pretty good too, and Krystiana now 5mos so she's started solids etc and I have a lot more time and energy back for mothering. ------------- |

Hi there all,
I have a huge lounge too, so don't mind if you wanna come and play at my house and I have millions of toys hehe!!!! -------------

Huge lounges sound great... count me in, whoever volunteers theirs!! Hey, on a side note, I'm having a clear-out and sending a pile of stuff to the Sallys. But this shirt I think is nice (I just don't wear it) and these shoes I think are soooo sexy (wore them once and very quickly discovered I just don't fit them!). So instead of doing the Trade Me thing (I can't be bothered packaging them up), I thought I'd offer them free to any Palmy ladies who might like them - can hand them over at our next get-together. Shoes are size 9 (useless if you're really an 8 and thought you could get away with them)
Shirt is a 16 - great condition. It's that kinda 2-toned fabric, so is moss green but has an almost goldy colour in it. Not shiney, but not matt.
PM if you want them, otherwise they go in the pile for the clothing bin. Got a kettle too, if anyone needs one! Random, I know!

Well we have a few houses to have this thing at, so how do we decide? and what date are we all happy with? ------------- Kayla Rose is now 4! James Sydney is nearly 2! |

Yep - count me in! And Becks told me the street but yes, I have forgotten! Shall we bring nibbles or something? I'm sure between us we can make sure that you don't need to play 'hostess' - you're busy enough with wee Daniel as it is. ------------- Andie |

I don't do the "hostess" thing too well according to my mother lol. Everyone who comes here is welcome to help themselves to tea and coffee and that's just the way my house works which my mother is appauled by!
Nibbles would be good I think. |
