Fed up with spending so much money on coffee and cake???

[checkmeout]

Ok so my baby is now 8 months old and I have got to the point where I really cannot bring myself to spend another 30 quid a week on coffee and cake - especially when so many coffees are not warm enough and the cake is dry.

So I've decided to get a few mums together and have tea/coffee and cake at my place. I know this is random and it seems strange to invite strangers around for a afternoon. But this is the kinda crazy thing motherhood drives you too!

If you fancy tea, cake and meeting some new mums. Drop me a mail and I'll arrange a date.

Jenny

And just incase you think I'm crazy - check out my website, hopefully this will confirm I'm a normal mum who's a graphic designer not a nutcase.

Jenny, that's s DIY approach to the nct tea group

And I have made several friends from the edf via bilateral house invites - once you have crawling bBies or young toddlers a well baby proofed house is the most relaxing place!

So ladies to those of you that have emailed me lets arrange something!!! And for those of you who havent but would like to get involved!! Get in touch. We can even get a hairdresser along and all have a hair cut, or a beautician and get our eyebrows shaped. What do you think ladies?

[The Nappy Lady]

I can recommend an excellent hairdresser if you need one - shes done my hair at home through bump & beyond!

There is someone on here who does home pedicures too!

Good on you checkmeout, hope you make lots of fab new mummy pals.

[checkmeout]

Nappy Lady - thanks so much for your recommendations i am sure plenty of mums would like a piece of cake, cuppa tea and a trim all in a afternoon! If you can mail me your recommendations that would be brill! ;) Thank you x

[jennyh]

I'm in!! Although my place isn't big enough to host I'm afraid!

[bee74]

that's a great idea! and i would def be interested but only, sadly, if there are kids that are a bit older than 8 months otherwise my active 2 1/2 yo toddler would be bored off his head...

what sort of ages do you have?

[millsa]

i would like to come along, my daughter will be 10 months this week. pls keep me posted x

[busymum]

hi bee 74, maybe we could organise something for the 2 1/2 yr old toddler age group or thereabouts. My eldest is starting school very soon and I will have to entertain my two and a bit year old girl on my own (yikes!) she will really miss her big sister and playdates with big sisters friends. She only has a few 'friends' of her own, would be nice for her to meet some other 2 year olds and for me to meet some other Mums.

Anyone up for a cup of tea and toys and biscuit crumbs everywhere get intouch

Sorry to hijack your post checkmeout but I would be interested in doing something similar with a group of toddlers too. I'll be on maternity leave from the end of Sept and need to keep my 2.5 year old entertained! We would love to meet new friends (and meet up with existing ones- hi bee74!).

[bee74]

Hello busymum, littlemissindulgence and crystal7 (I guess i know you but don't recognise your name)

I am happy to meet in the afternoons, which tend to be a bit of a dull affair... too late to go anywhere exciting, everything has happened already and there is not much time before dinner.

Otherwise our mornings are normally quite busy except for Tuesdays.

Let me know what suit you.

Bee

Hello Checkmeout and the other mums!

Hope this isn't hijacking this thread but I wonder if anyone would be interested in this:

My sister won an online competition to have a dietician (sponsored by SMA baby formula but I'm sure a professional dietician has to be impartial and talk about 'food' right?) come to my home to ask questions from Mums about weaning and nutrition for babies/toddlers. I'm about to start maternity leave with my first baby and hope to have the dietician come sometime before the beginning of Aug, prob an afternon. I'm happy to have Mums (including babies+toddlers) round to glean info from the dietician. It occured to me that weaning can be a tricky time if little one fussy or has allergies.

Aparently they bring us a free lunch and throw in some freebies too though I've no idea what, its my sister that's the competition addict, I just benefit from her winnings sometimes!!

Do send me a PM if you're interested and I'll be in touch once they've let me have some possible dates.

Elizabeth

littlemissindulgence, crystal7 do you want to send me your e-mail addresses via pm and we'll see what we can figure out. finding a time that we can all do might be tricky. another Mum with nearly 3 yr old girl also sent me a PM

[corbella]

Hi all,

I am in too! Great idea Jenny, the little one and I would love to come along an host once we have some furniture in our new pad!

[checkmeout]

Ok ladies i am going to have a T&C (TEA AND CAKE) afternoon at my place, unfortunately my place only has room for around 5 mums & babies. So pls get in touch asap to reserve a spot on my sofa ;)

BEAUTY, BAKIN' & BABIES

at Jennys

August 2nd at 2pm

I am confirming a beautician to come along and offer treatments, so please only come along if you fancy having your

nails painted or eyebrows waxed. I thought this would be a good idea as us mums rarely have time for these kind of treats

Pls feel free to bring a cake, no need to bake it as long as it tastes good!

There will be more Mothers-meetings to come!

And pls have a look at the website i run for creative/inspiring mums

www.mothers-meeting.com

[busymum]

sorry for the delay sending an e-mail to the toddler Mums who have expressed an interest in meeting up, I'm doing this now. If anyone else wants to join in for playdates and other activities for the toddler age group please send me a pm with your e-mail address and we'll see what we can work out

Cheers
