Hi all


Sorry I'm late to this conversation. I'm expecting my first on 11 May and starting to show now which is making it all seem very real.


I would love to meet up with you all on 21 Jan what sort of time? I usually have to work quite late so will have to try and escape early. Roll on maternity leave!!


Jenna

Looks like we're getting a good group together for meeting up!

I've got a reminder next week to book the EDT for the 21st so will do a rough head count then.

We can do other meetups after (evenings or maybe one at weekend) so that everyone can make it to at least one.

Looking forward to meeting everyone!

Hi,


Looks like there's going to be a good group of us to get together then on Wednesday 21st January at 19:00.

Venue likely to be the EDT but tbc by Ginster if that's OK?


Lucy - we will try and fix a date that will suit you in future too. Perhaps the last week in February to catch up again before these Spring babies start making an appearance?


Take care ladies and happy 2015 x

Happy new year everyone!


Sadly, looking more and more likely that I might miss the January catch up, hopefully there'll be another

before I pop...due March 3rd!


If baby does make an appearance, and I can't also make the following meet up, it would be nice to arrange a day time date at some point.

Hello ladies. Congrats to you all. I hope you don't mind me slightly highjacking this thread, but I'm an autumn 2014 bump - now mum to a chubby little 3 month old! - and I have lots of maternity clothes and items for sale. I've put a post on the classifieds section, but thought I'd offer up directly to you lovely spring bumps in case anything is of particular interest.


I have photos of everything so just PM me if you're interested in anything and I can send them over.

Hi ladies, and happy new year to you and your bumps.


Just wanted to pop a quick note in here saying I've had a space become available on my January hypnobirthing course. I'd be happy to offer a discount on the place to anyone who'd like it at short notice. If this interests you, please drop me a line on [email protected] and I'll be happy to help.


Wishing you all the best for calm and comforable births.

Hi all,


Count me in for the 21st too please...the pub will love us, ordering a load of soda water!


I'm due 11th March with our first baby. Getting pretty close now so it would be lovely to meet up with some locals in the same boat to catch up with on maternity leave.


Lizzie.

Great to see this thread

hey mrs blue squirrel,

ditto to not remembering much!

My first will be 12 yrs old this month, so whole previous pregnancy thing seems a LONG time ago!.... thrown almost everything away, am twice the size before and it all seems quite different!


Would love to meet some other expectant mums later this month, so will try and make the 21st! EDT also sells fentimans ginger beer which makes a zippy change from water....sigh!

Thanks for organising this mandg. x

Hello! I'm expecting my second mid-May and my first will be 2yrs 3mths old. The ED group was fab first time around and looking forward to meeting some new local mums in due course!


I can't make the 21st sadly but hopefully at another meet up.


Suzie

Hi ladies,


Right I just spoke to a lovely chap at the EDT and I've booked an area for 7pm on Weds 21st Jan under the name of Ginny (sounds like they'll cordon off a decent size space for us). I suggested at the back to the right (near the ladies(!)) as I think that has enough space. In the past the other areas we had weren't very conducive for everyone to chat other than to those either side of them or if you moved around.


I did warn him we're all expecting so not much drinking will be going on - though if it's anything like last time hopefully a few of us will eat dinner there (I plan to) so they get some money out of us and we get some food if you haven't managed an earlier dinner.


I did a quick count back (apols if I missed anyone or mis-typed a name) and of course we might have more (or less) on the day so I've booked for 20 people for now. These are the names I have, obviously those finding this thread after today are more than welcome to join too, just let us know as if it gets many more I feel I should warn them ;o)

    • Given her role, she pretty much had to go. I don't think she is an avid tax-schemer who deliberately set out to avoid tax - I do pretty much believe her story of multiple high-profile roles and looking after a child with needs. But many regular voters juggle demanding jobs and families and are afforded no leeway by taxman, so she totally should have known better But here we are - she was found to be negligent and now she has suffered teh consequence. To me that its the OPPOSITE of all parties/politicians as generally the ignore the whole thing (today we have Tice saying Farage's tax affairs are of no interest to voters for example) And it would be poor form to not acknowledge why she was targeted quite so viciously - we even have posters on here here saying "when I saw her taping on a boat that was the  end for me" - like the end of what?. Her gender and class were clear motivators for many people. Two wrongs don't make a right - but it';s interesting to see some posters on here give so many others a blank cheque. Many are planning to vote for Farage despite his dishonesty being 100x worse than Rayner PS - I don't think she will join Corbyn party - unlike him she is smart and unlike him she recognises that being In power means you can at least stand a chance of delivering results This. The Greens will have a rise in the polls on back of new leader but that is one hell of a coalition of NIMBY/YIMBYs As what would Reform do if in government to help with... well, anything?   Labour can at least point to decreasing waiting lists, lower immigration numbers, not having a different PM every 6 months - not that anyone is listening
    • So what do people want?  More housing.  More affordable housing.  But not in my back yard. That applies to urban areas too.  Easy to criticise, but where are your answers?
    • this doesn't mean anything - it's a word salad with no reference to the topic at hand. And given the video I posted it's notable that you didn't reference it at all. The subject is the proliferation of weird intimidating Flag wavers....    As for me, I didn't vote Labour at last election, nor will I in next election (if I lived in a Labour/Tory/Reform marginal, that might be different)
    • Her legacy will be the Deputy leader/Housing Secretary who was the Labour party's sleaze crime fighter who broke the ministerial code for not paying enough stamp duty on one of her houses. As Housing Secretary she probably should have known better.    I wonder if she will defect to Corbyn where she will no doubt be welcomed with open arms and the words: "You did nothing wrong, it was all a media conspiracy comrade......"
