we did a SP one the other day - but the only good place to meet with bubs and strollers is food court as the cafes are not big enough....hence the whitcoulls cafe which has a HUGE balcony, and they let us make a HUGE mess and sit for hours and still let us come back again and again....
see last thread re botany meet up for easy directions if coming from auckland now via Highbrooke - real easy! North shore....a few of us were meeting for lunch while i was working over there...and now they still meet but in glenfield....wold pay for her to contact Sterryn or paws maybe initially and see if she can join in for north shore one (usually a work day cause they are too slack to organise weekend ones!!!  )
Also BBQ picnic gonna happen in Nov on shore too....and keep eyes peeled but if we get the speed boat fixed Im contemplating an eastern beaches one for DHs and kids with us mummies and will involve tubing and swimming etc over summer! OK now sooooooooo OFF TOPIC!

Will be there on the 15th. Hubby might be on call so will bring his laptop so he can run after the monster so I can have a chat this time around.
It is funny. Over weekends she is a Daddy's baby except when it comes to nap and sleep. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Blast I've got a wedding on the 15th. It's not until late in the day but it's just too far to go there and back, then back out to Manukau for the wedding. I'm just not destined to make it to any of these meet ups. Maybe we can have one out west sometime?? not that I know anywhere big enough to take lots of kids & babies. Anyone want to start a new thread for one I'm not brave enough. |
