Monthly Mum's Meetup - Canberra ACT

[JCE0810]

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

[JCE0810]

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?

The Expo sounds fun, but I am not sure how those who rely on public transport would get there.... If everyone wants to go to the expo, I am happy to change, BUT if it is too hard transport wise for anyone to get there, I am happy to still meet up at the fresh food markets.
By the way, if anyone is wanting to go to a playgroup in MacGregor, now is the time to try and get into it. At the begining of the year it gets very full and we even get waiting lists, but our numbers have dropped off now and there are likely to be spots spare. If you want some contact details, pm me and I can give you a name and a number.


Just a note girls, my tupperware party has changed dates, it is now the 28th Nov at 3pm, and will possibly (but hopefully not) change dates again, I will keep you all updated and let you all know when I have it set in concrete.
