    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.

    The expo does sound fun, but i have no idea where Cook is or how i'd get there.

    misty: i'll PM you later about the playgroup, i wouldn't mind looking into when/where they are. Thanks for letting us know about the date change for your Tupperware party i can make the 28th, you'll just have to let me know where i'm going to.

    ETA: for those using public transport, i just had a quick look on the ACTON website and found that the number 10 bus goes along Templeton St but we'd have to go to 1 of the Belconnen interchanges to change buses 1st HTH.

    For those catching public transport, just catch the bus to the depot and walk up to the markets is probably easiest - It is three blocks up from the depot.

    Deana - I just sent you a friend request on fb - my name is Melissa Rowe.

    The next Meet up is at the Belconnen Fresh food markets, Tuesday 16th Oct, 10.30am (I will probably be there earlier).

    Sharon - Have fun at the Expo, we can arrange another meet up for another day (I will never pass up a chance to socialise).

    JCE0810 - The Carry pouch is like a baby bjorn carrier (but a cheap brand ). It is like a backpack type thing, except the pack is at the front where you put the baby. Probably not describing it very well. But if you google the baby bjorn carrier you will get an idea what I am talking about. It is probably better for bigger babies rather then newborns (I love my sling for newborns.....well, actually I love my sling for every age).

    One of my friends would prefer me to have my tupperware party on the saturday (27th November). How does a Saturday suit everyone??? Iam trying to actually get the date right this time, BEFORE I go back to the demonstrator and change the date again! I don't know how it happened but I seem to have gotten myself a life or something! I am double booked and so busy!

    Another option - changing the meetup at the fresh food markets from Tuesday to Monday, wednesday, thursday or friday???? Then We could meet up at the Expo and at the markets???????????? Because I know a few of us would like to go to the expo...

    What do those who are relying on public transport think???

    misty: i sent you a friend request on FB. TK1999 has a baby bjorn so i've seen 1 of those before, i've just never used one myself. Saturday 27th Novemeber is fine by me, we never have any set plans for the weekends. Tuesday morning at the markets it is.

    Deana: i've sent you a friend on FB.

    HI all!!!

    Well I am pretty set on going to the Expo, so I think a different day for belco would be good- then people have the option and dont have to miss out altogether! :-)

    I have playgroup on wednesdays, so if we are changing the belco markets meet up- i would prefer a mon, thursday or friday (25th, 27th or 28th of October)

    And if anyone who is relying on public transport would like to come to the Expo and wants a lift- i can fit one mummy, one child and an extra pram in my car. PM me if you want my number to talk details!!!

    Also misty dear, you have put that the meet up is Tuesday october 16th.. i think your dates are doing your head in deary.. the 16th has been and gone!! We dont want to confuse people (being the organised not at all confused lot we are )
    I should be able to make your party whenever you have it, everything is Tupperware crazy at the moment!!!

    LOL - I think someone else should be organising everything, I am completely loopy at the moment, I cann't get a date straight!

    How is monday for the Markets meet up for everyone???? (Whatever date that may be, it is the next monday in the calender ) And then we can meet up at the EXPO on the Tuesday as well. (knowing me, I have probably just double booked myself again...)

    Sorry misty, i didnt see that you had posted. I wouldn't mind checking out the expo either, i've never been to anything like it before so wouldnt mind having a sticky and i'm sure DD would enjoy herself. maybe you need a diary so you dont keep double booking yourself. Mondays date is 25th October.

    Friday 29th October for Belconnen markets would be best for me.

    KaileysMummy: what do you think about going to the expo? it seems it would entail getting 2 buses

    Misty – I didn’t get your request on FB? Ill request you
    Ill be there next Tuesday at 10:30. I cant wait to finally meet mummies and bubba’s. Im so over sitting at home and doing as much housework as possible a day lol. Is the Belconnen markets next to petbarn?

    Im also fine with anyday with meeting up. Oh wait I think I have my 6-8 week check up with my doctor next Tuesday at 10am. Maybe another day for our meet up?



    JC0810 – I got your request on FB thank you. Your bubba is so cute.


    Im so confused which da is which for the meet up and expo??? Lol

    OK - Just so everyone is straight.

    Tuesday - Playgroup Expo. Not sure of the area, so not sure where we can meet up if you all want too? If we don't plan something before hand I plan on texting Kat so I can stalk her: Or I will just hope I run into everyone, or talk to random strangers until someone finds me.

    Either Monday or Friday at the Belco Fresh food markets. I am happy with either day, but I have yet to here from those relying on public transport (ie, Kailey's mummy, etc) as to what suits them best. I know what it is like to rely on public transport, and I don't want them to miss out.

    Edited to say: Just realised that that this post doesn't really straighten anything out at all.

    misty: as i'll be getting the bus i'd prefer Friday for Belco markets please. Maybe if a few of us have each others mobile numbers we'll be able to find each other at the expo??.

    kitten2b: are you going to the expo on Tuesday?

    I was hoping to Jo.

    An update on the markets, I was there today and they said that there is nothing open on Monday and Tuesdays, thus we will have to make it the Friday, I might even make a cake for Fia's birthday.

    Louise: well you can stalk me on my mobile at the expo and we can meet-up and hopefully find some of the other ladies. Do they usually have things open at the markets on Monday & Tuesdays?, i've never been there before.
