I am a newbie to Canberra- in fact im not even quite officially here yet! I am in the process of moving here- i am staying with relo's in Fraser while i look for a house. DH has gotten a job here and has started working already. We are moving from VIC, an whether i am here permanently or still house hunting in mid may i would love to catch up and meet some people!
I will be a SAHM, DS is nearly 2 and DD is due to be born in two months (im crazy i know!! what a time to move hey!) so any day any time suits us!!
Does anyone know of any play groups around anywhere too? I looked on the Play group website and there was one in Cook- but im not sure where that is- does anyone go there or know where a good one is? Coz i dont know where i will be living just yet i dont know where to look
If you want to come and meet up with us, you are more then welcome.
There are plenty of playgroups around, best bet is once you have found where you are going to live, ring the playgroup association and they will be able to give you some contact numbers.
Some area's have way too much demand and can be hard to get into (like my playgroup at Macgregor), but others have heaps of vacancies.
As for a crazy time to move, we moved to canberra when DD was 2 weeks old! With 4 days notice. We spent the first month from then camped with a newborn on my parents loungroom floor, trying to find a house to live in. talk about an experience I would have been happy without.
OK Everyone, I am thinking the end of May might be best (for purely selffish reasons :P ) - so what about May 26?th (or whatever that Wed is).
Next question is time? 10am or 11am suit everyone???
And then location. We can meet someplace like lollipops - costs about $10?? per child over 1yr + $3.50 per adult. Or if you would prefer to save money, we can meet up somewhere else (Park, or one of those indoor playareas at Westfields, etc).
Floor is open to anyone who has a preference - I am easy pleased now that I have my liscence and don't have to rely on public transport
Im new to here. But i have a 4 yr old DS and a 3 yr old DS and a 5 month old DD. Wouldnt mind tagging along if there is a meet up. If thats ok?
I'll check back here and see whats going on.
I'm in for lolly pops or somehting along that line otherwise i will be chasing r all over the place. And the 26th is a wednesday, 10 suits me as can do school drop of and go straight to where we are going.
1st time mumma... Congrats on the birth of little Kailey!!! A few of us come from the northside- if you want to i am sure we could arrange a pick up.. although, the playcentre is a bit more fun for the older kiddies anyway, but i would def be in for a meet up for a cuppa and chat around belco
I am sooooo looking forward to getting out and about- and lil Shane is def in need of some kiddie play time!!!! Cant wait!!!!
I hope people are still coming coz we are getting ready to go!!! I iwill be late though lol i have to find a different way of getting there coz the barton hwy is closed!
... 10 sounds great to me!!
