Hi Everyone
Sami - Yes my sister does live here in Canberra. She actually lives a 5 minute walk which is nice for our kids and us as we get to see each other most days. My DD and her younger son are 3 weeks apart so they are the best of friends (most of the time). When i lived down the coast i missed her terribly as we are very close. It is definately a bonus having her so close.
Look forward to seeing everyone on tuesday - the more the merrier
I just got back from the show. I managed to spend a heap of money, despite not being there long - It cost $20 just to take us all on the ferris wheel, which was the one ride that Angelica just 'had' to go on. But it was pretty fun. The kids loved the demolition derby, Jelly was amazed that they were actually trying to crash into each other on purpose.
Hi everyone,
I have a 9 week old beautiful boy and although I have been in Canberra for 5 years most of my 'network' is work related, and not so much mummy related! My husband and I have no family here so if anyone is looking to meet someone new, I would love to join people for coffee/walks/shopping outings etc. I'm 34 and originally from Perth.
Hi Tricky
Welcome .
We are actually getting together for a cuppa tomorrow at Belconnen if you are interested. I have a 12 week baby boy and a 4 yr daughter.
Which side of town are you on?
If you are interested in joining us tomorrow PM and i will give you the details.
We would love for you to join us as we are all in the same boat wanting to meet new people. Our group has only meet the once and everyone is lovely, so come and join in.
I have a 2 month year old old. I live in Weston Creek but I am happy to travel to the north side. Like Tricky I have been in Canberra for 5 years and my friends are work related so I'm looking to make friends outside work. I'm 28 and also originally from Perth. is there still space for one more to join?

Of course! We are meeting around 9.30am at Belconnen Mall tomorrow near the kids play area that is temporarily in front of the Reject Shop lower level. We might have to adjourn to a cafe if we can't grab enough chairs
At-num - I have been here for just on 6 years and still don't know that many ppl same as you. Hope you can make it!
Having said that - I might have a glitch with tomorrow, but will try and rearrange - something on at school that we have had notice of only today ...
Oh, and tomorrow we should swap numbers cos we forgot last time .. just in case etc.

Lovelies - I am just not going to get there today - have a special assembly at DS1's school and he really wants me to go - talk about guilting me LOL. My calendar looks really free for the rest of this month (whereas April is crazy with easter adn school holidays) - so if anyone wants to catch up again say week 23/03 - let me know please!!!
Boohoo, was looking forward to it.... Trac did you get the baptism organised?
Was wondering if I may join this group? I live in Queanbeyan and have been in Canberra for 4 years and have no family here either!! Have a small group of friends most of them are without childern so it would be lovely to meet some other mums as it can get a little lonely here!!! I have gorgeous boy AIden who is almost 18 months and I am 8.5 weeks pregnant! Look forward to chatting
The week of the 23rd sounds good to me too - just not wednesday, we have playgroup then.
Everyone is welcome to come - Tricky and At-nun I am not sure if you turned up today? We didn't see you, but are not sure if maybe you just didn't know who we were and wondered off again... I hope not.
Do you all want to meet in the same spot again or meet somewhere else? I can arrage to meet up elsewhere, provided there is a bus route - ie, brand depot, civic, woden etc.
Is anyone on Facebook? If you are and are interested, PM me your details and I will add you as a friend - nice way to learn a bit more about each other too
Hope you missed me all terribly last week - I hate those last minute things with school - imagine if I was back at work sheesh!
What about Brand Depot play area on Tuesday 24/03 - Misty - you tell us the time as it will depend on your bus route! Might be less busy too than Belco?? ... easier for our southside ppl too ..
Hi Everyone, I'd love to join in as well. I got the link from SamiH in another thread.
My name is Kim and I have a 7 month old son. I've been in Canberra for a bit more than a year, originally from Shellharbour on the coast south of Wollongong.
My son's health has been a bit troublesome which makes it hard to get out much (for anything other than doctors appointments). But if I can make the next date and time you guys decide on I'd love to meet you all!
