[JCE0810]

KaileysMummy: i'm happy to go to the expo on Tuesday and the markets on Friday. I'll send you a PM and we can discuss what time/where to meet up Tuesday to get the bus.

[misty]

Cool. Expo Tuesday, Fresh food markets Friday.

[JCE0810]

do we have a time or a place at the expo that we are meetin up at?. Is the markets on Friday still for 10.30am?.

[misty]

I will be at the Expo from 10am. I can PM my mob number to anyone who wants it, so we can text or ring to meet up somewhere. Unfortunately I don't know the venue, so cann't suggest a meeting point. If anyone else has been there before, maybe they could suggest a landmark?

[JCE0810]

Jacinta & I are aiming to be at the expo around 10.20am as we will be getting the bus.

misty: i'll PM you my mobile number now. I think once we get there we can a suss out a meeting point, i didnt even know where Cook was before this. ETA: it tells me you have exceeded your quota and cannot accept messages.

[Tinsel]

I'm planning on going to the expo on Tuesday and have Louise's number so will hopefully find everyone. We might make it to the markets on Friday too as we've not been there before (I'm in Woden). Misty I will PM you as well for backup number. I will just have my youngest, Amelia, with me on Tuesday.

We are off to Playschool on Sunday and one of my friends got a group of us front row seats to Wiggles. I think we are more excited than the kids LOL.

[misty]

Playschool!!! How do I book??? Damn I gotta work sat 30th.

Tinsel, just opening your pm now.

[littlescottishboy]

Grr just lost my post... i am a doofus. Anyway, not to worry.

Misty i will PM you my mobile number now as well; can u please PM me yours too? Hopefully everyone will find each other. Looking forward to meeting those of you who i haven't met yet, and looking forward to seeing everyone else again too.

PS - Playschool? Sounds awesome - how much are the tix?

[JCE0810]

i'm looking forward to meeting everyone

DD isn't into Play School she's obsessed with Handy Manny & Mickey Mouse. Oh when are the Wiggles in town, how much are tickets? she's recently taken a liking to watching them so if possible i'd like to take her.

[~StarBright~]

Play school is only $14.50 a ticket you have to call kids promotions 1300 788 028 to book- they are having a few sessions on Saturday 30th and Sunday 31st, when you call just ask them whats available and what suits you. It is in Erindale (not 100% sure where that is, but i will know soon!)

Wiggles will be here on Wednesday December 8th and for them you call ticketek they cost $32.50- they are on at the AIS Arena, i havent booked my tickets for that yet, there are two sessions 10am and 1pm, i will be aiming for the 10am one unless its booked out!

We have had a spanner thrown in the works.. DS is a bit sick, i am hoping it will pass by tuesday, he has a bit of a temp and a cough and a runny nose, but he is still running around as normal, so not sure if we will make the expo... fingers crossed he will get over it quickly!!!! I wont be sending him to day care tomorrow so he can stay home and rest up and hopefully he will be ok!

[Deana]

ok well how long does the expo go for? and what is it again? im booked in to see my doctor at 10am so i might have to miss the expo bummer but friday for the markets is great for me. Is it belco markets again at 10:30am. Can I pls have someones number and then i can PM my number to you so I can text to meet up. Im on the southside and belco is like sydney for me lol.

[JCE0810]

Deana: here is the information that was posted by littlescottishboy on page 14. I've also PM'd my mobile number to you

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?
