Hey KaileysMummy, that would be awesome i know you told me where to get the bus from & which 1 to get but i didnt write it down
i'll have the pram for DS and DD will walk (and hopefully not run off) i dont currently have a sling for DS. Are the bus drivers funny about having prams on the buses?.
A meet-up for the one's of us in Macgregor sounds like a great idea. KaileysMummy do you mean the fenced off grassed area at the front of the estate?.

My advice is if you can go without a pram on the bus, do so. Otherwise if you have a little umbrella stroller that is light and easy to carry on and off, use that. I don't think any of the disabled buses come up our way, so that means you will need to fold the pram up and carry it on yourself. The bus drivers aren't allowed to help, and some are downright rude and will drive off before you are even seated. Biggest tip - hand the baby to the driver while you load the pram (don't ask, just hand the baby over): then he cann't drive off until you are ready and you have someone to hold bubs while you are doing everything.

Oh and if anyone needs a lift I have room for 2 baby seats in my car

Can definitely meet up at one of the new parks - either the one up from KaileysMummy (which sounds like the most central one) or the other one. I'm up for that anytime, just send me a message on here or a pm or fb me

Just thought I would let you all know I am going to be hosting a tupperware party on a sunday in November (either 14th or 28th) everyone is welcome - great chance to meet up and gossip, I don't expect anyone to buy anything you can just come and have a cuppa. Anyway, I will give out more details once I have it all booked in.

Joanne- the bus drivers dont really get crabby with prams i can help you get it on and off. My pram weighs 11kgs and has to be pulled apart (its a strider plus) and it is a royal PITA so i have my sling which i take K out in. And no the park is i guess half way up bryan hudson.
Mad4e- i had no idea you moved into macgregor!! and yes not far from me at all! im in herdson pl
Misty- Id love to come to your tupperware party. 14th is better for me

misty: i do have an umbrella stroller but i dont know about putting DS in it he'll only be 3weeks old. I dont have any plans for Nov 14th so i'd love to come to your tupperware party.
KaileysMummy: thanks that would be great if you could help me get the pram on/off the bus, i'm going to see if i can borrow a sling to use for DS to make it a bit easier. I didnt know there were parks in the estate, but then we havent really driven around and had a look. We only worked out a few weeks ago that we could come from Florey Drive/Osburn Drive into the estate i had to use a map to figure that out.
P.S we're down the bottom end on Greenman

Jo - would you like to borrow my homemade hugabub
Registered User
that's very generous kitten2b, i've never used or seen a hugabub. I'm actually seeing if my older sister (TK1999) has 1 she can send to me to borrow, i'll let you know if i need to take you up on your offer, thanks.

JCE0810 - confused me! you changed your name! I actually have a carry pouch you can have if you want - it does need a wash, but is in good condition. I used it with my firstborn, but bought myself a sling for the other two, so it really hasn't been used since. Let me know if you want it, I can drop it aound easily enough. And if you decide you don't like it you can pass it onto someone else who might use it.

misty: sorry, i felt like a change so asked for my username to be changed, just need to get my avatar changed now to include DS and loose the pg belly. That is a generous offer as well, can i ask what a carry pouch is? (does it show i have no idea about slings/carriers?).

Hi girls,
Can i just throw a massive HUMUNGOUS spanner in the works here!.... found out today from one of my other mummy pals here that on Tuesday 26th October is the annual once-a-year ACT Playgroups Expo, where you don't actually have to be a member of playgroup but they have a huge free festival for all Canberra kiddies ages 0-5 and their carers. It is only once a year, and this year is it Tues 26th October, and it goes from 10am-1pm. It is at the new Cook Community hub, which is at 41 Templeton St, Cook (still in Belconnen area).
The flier says:
- Everyone is welcome
- FREE children's entertainment
- Games, craft, physical activities, sport, music and fun
- Community organisations, get important information and FREE parenting resources
- FREE Childrens' activities
- Sporting organisations: come and try with your child.
- Contact number on flier is 1800 171 882
Sounds like loads of fun, and on once a year only. My friend said she went to it last year and her kids had a ball.
So, thought I'd put it out there! I really want to go to it, and when I realised it was on the same day as the next planned meet-up, I decided to let you guys know too -hmm. What's the general feeling about staying with Belco Markets, or maybe going to this instead since it is only on once a year?
(I think i will go to this if you guys don't mind; I'm not in playgroup, but I just wanna go for all the free fun stuff! hehe). What do you guys think?
