New to Canberra ACT

Hi ladies,

It was so lovely to meet you all on Tuesday, sorry I wasn't able to chat much but Aiden looooves to explore everything!!! :lol::lol: Ahh well .... I am looking forward to our next catch up....


Talk soon girls xx

I have 2 Lollipops buy one admission get one free valid until end of April - we can organise closer to the date who can use them etc ;)

Hi

I would love to come to the next meet. I can make it on the 28/4 and I like the idea of Lollypops because it sounds like my son is like Chepie's. I am forever chasing him around because he wants to explore EVERYTHING aswell!

Looking forward to meeting you all.

looking forward to it. :)

Me to and the more the merrier. I think Reaghan will enjoy lollipops by then as she is crawling and trying to stand all on her own.

Hiya ladies

Hope you all had a lovely Easter break and the chocolate intake wasn't too bad!!

Just confirming Tuesday 28/04 around 10.30 at Lollipops - I now have 3 buy-one-get-one-free admission vouchers - so I will try and be there right on time, if you are early and need one just loiter - I promise I will not be far away at all :) Otherwise if you are late and we have gone in - just get them to ask me to come up to the counter and we can do the changeover then - you can see from the admission area the tables and people etc.

We are off to Ballarat on Thursday for Zanders baptism this weekend - and just got back from Kiama camping for Easter - washing everywhere, clothes in various states of drying and folding and ironing - and gotta pack it all over again tomorrow :lol:

So I wont be on again for nearly a week - eek!

Hi all,

I'm still up for a meet on the 28/04. Can't wait.

How is everyones bubs going. Reaghan is doing really well, she has been trying to stand and let go lately so getting closer to walking, which is scary. I think she will deffinetly be doing it before she is 1 as she is only 9.5 months.

With the way Reaghan is going Lollypops is such a great idea.

Cheers
Elle

Hi Everyone

Sorry it has been so long since i have been here to say hello.

Looking forward to the meet up on the 28/04. I don't think i will have Brearna so it shouldn't cost me anything to get in? Does anyone know if there is still a charge. Surely they won't charge for Jaylan he will be 5 months old then.

Sami - Have a safe trip to Ballarat and i hope Zander's Batptism goes well for you. You would be sick of travelling by now wouldn't you? I hope the coast was nice for you in Kiama. Kiama is a nice place, when we were living down the coast i always liked Kiama.

Sweetpea - wow by the sound of it Reaghan isn't far from walking and then you will know what hit you. It is so cute when they are learning to walk and then you remember they can then get away from you too.

Misty - Hope things are going well for you? How the kids? How's the pregnancy going?

KJ79 - Looking forward to meeting you on the 28/04

chepie - How are things going? Hoping to catch up again with you on 28/04. This time you might even get a coffee as we will be at Lollipops. Hope to see you there.

KimBear - Hope things are going well for you and your son? Hoping that you are able to join us at Lollipops on 28/04, i will look forward to meeting you.

I hope i haven't forgotten anyone if i have please forgive me and the more the merrier.

Well we have had a funny Easter. Brearna was at her father's so the Easter Bunny come to her yesterday when she got home. Scott, Jaylan and i went down the coast for a night which was nice to get away we wished we could of got away for a bit longer. Jaylan is trying to roll but some days he he tries and others he just moves around on his back. He has rolled over a couple fo times once from his back to tummy and then a couple of times from tummy to back. Most of the time he likes to sit in the corner of the lounge watching the world go by. Brearna is on School Holidays and is having a little trouble understanding why she cannot go to school but at least we get to spend some time together.

Well better go and i look forward to chatting with you all soon
Trac:D

Hi Everyone
I have finally made it to Canberra and have settled into our house! I have a four month old girl ELodie and would love to meet people in Canberra. I have tried to join a playgroup but they are all full in my area and it's all seeming too difficult! I'm in Kingston so would be happy to meet up anywhere in canberra! PLease let me know if it's ok and whether the meet on the 28th is still on? Would love to join you! Patiently awaiting your replies!! :)

Hi Everyone

Hope you are all doing well?

I am still up for the meet next Tuesday, actually really looking forward to it.

Virgo - Would love for you to join us Virgo. Glad that you have arrived safely to town and have settled in. We are meeting at Brand Depot (near airport) at Lollipops at 10:30am hope to see you and your daughter there.

KJ79 - How are you doing? Hope to catch up o Tuesda 28/04

KimBear - How are you doing? Hope your muchkin is well enough for you to be able to catch up on 28/04

Well we are all doing well here. Jaylan has been out of his tree for the last couple of days not letting me go or out of his site, as well as not sleeping much during the day (kinda stressful) but today i have discovered 2 bottom teeth have arrived together. And to make his day worse he is off to get his 4 month (even though he is nearly 5months) injections this afternoon....................thinking i might be in for a long night.

Brearna is doing well but i cannot wait until she goes back to preschool next week.........bring on Thursday :)

Well best be off the little man is screaming the house down again cause i am out of his sight. Looking forward to Tuesday yippppeee coffffeeee and chat just what i need at the moment:lol:

I will see everyone on tuesday :)

I should be on time, but if I am a little late it is because I have a midwife appointment to go to beforehand.

Hi everyone
Hope to see you all on Tuesday at Lollipops. Can't wait to meet everyone as it has been a little lonely here in Canberra on my own. Trac73...I can't believe your LO has grown 2 teeth already! Elodie is only a week younger and is being feral these last 2 weeks....drooling everywhere and hands in gob ALL THE TIME! Day sleeps are a disaster (cat naps) and the nighttime routine is a palava!! She usually gets so overtired that by 5:30pm when dad gets home she is going nuts! Bath, bottle and bed all by 6:30pm....great that she goes to bed that early....not so great for dad whose only contact is a feral child...hope this sleep regression/4 month terror is over soon!!

WOuld love to chat about this stuff to you all on Tuesday!
Cheers:dance:

Virgo - that's how Jaylan was hands in his mouth lots of drooling and just out f sorts. Then out popped 2 teeth. When was Elodie born. I would love to sit and chat with you about it that's for sure.
I am like you starting to feel a little lonely at the moment and looking to meet new people.
Really looking forward to Tuesday.
Take Care Everyone

PS: Misty glad to see you are ok i was getting a little worried since you hadn't posted for a bit.

Can't wait for Tuesday either, what time are we meeting again.

Elle

Sorry I have been slack posting lately, I keep on coming in and reading the threads and then get too lazy to respond. But I am looking forward to catching up with everyone. Angelica keeps on asking me when we are going to meet up - Everytime the brand depot ad or the lollipops ad comes on TV she asks me "are we going there to meet your friends yet mummy?".

Hi girls,

Just confirming I will be at Lollipops on Tuesday at 10.30am. Just wondering what some of you look like so I have some idea of who to look out for?

Can't believe how cold it is today!!

Hope you are all having a good weekend. See you Tuesday.

KJ79,

I will be there on Tuesday, I have short blonde (slight redish) hair and average hight, a bit fluffy. Most likely will be carring bub on my front or back.

KJ79 - I will be the one with short hair and a HUGE pg belly :) Plus one DD and one DS in toe. If you aren't sure just look for the group of gossiping women and go up and ask if they are bellybelly members - that usually works. I will try and keep my eye out for anyone who looks lost.

HI all
I am meeting you guys on Tuesday but I've never met you so if any of you can keep an eye out for me that would be great. I will be with a red Mutsy pram and I have long blondy/brown hair...prob tied back. I am too embarrased to ask people who they are so if you see me loitering round the front somewhere PLEASE come and get me someone!!!! Can't wait to meet you all!:D

Hey ladies

Much less painless catch up today that the toddlers/kiddies had something else to do.

May - Tuesday seems to work well for us all (I think??) I am free 12, 19 or 26 during May - it's the other days of the week my stuff is on.

So I am happy to fit in around others!

Gotta run get ready for school pick up already - where did that day go??!!

Hi Ladies,

SORRY SORRY SORRY ...... Hope that you had an awesome day, Aiden and I have both been sick with colds and I thought that It was best not to share our green noses with you all.... plus my DH is away all this week overseas for work and Aiden has been playing up- old enough to know that daddy isn't here but not old enough for him to understand that he will back very soon- so it's been a tiring week!! That and being pregnant and chasing 3 dogs also... gee lucky I didn't come otherwise I would have been the whinging crazy lady that will never be invited back again!!!

Hope to catch up with you all again!! Once again I am sorry.... and to be a bigger pain I only have Wednesdays off work now starting next week- though I am sure that I could take a sickie on any other days :p

mwahhhh

HI Everyone

Thanks for the great meet up yesterday it was nice to sit and have a chat, but next time i will be ordering lunch i was starving by the time i got home.

Chepie - we missed you yesterday. Hope you are both feeling better soon. Is Wednesday the only day that you are not working?

It was great to finally meet KJ79 and Virgo, nice to be able to put a face to the name :D

I am free on the 12th, 19th and 26th of May for another catch up. I have Brearna on the 19th only though, but if another day suits everyone i am not overly worried if Brearna is there or not.

So far Tuesdays seems to be the day that suits everyone, unfortunately i cannot do Wednesdays (sorry chepie)

Well if anyone is up for a cuppa between now and next meet let me know and we can make a date.

Chat to you all soon:)

Hi everyone,
I had a good time (and I know the kids loved it!) I am more then happy to meet up on any of those dates :)
Melissa

Hiya

What about Tuesday 19/05 around 10.30 again - same place?

Trac I will bring Giselle too - then G, B & A can all have a play together :)

19th is good with me to.

19th sounds great. i will put it on the calendar now. It would be good for G, B and A to have a play together.

Well not much had been happening here at all. Jaylan is teething again but there is no teeth.

I am excited that B's father is letting me have B for mother's day and then goes to to him in the afternoon. at least i will have both kids for the morning.

What is everyone up too on mother's day?

Chat to everyone soon
Trac

The 19th sounds good to me too, looking forward to it.

Hello Everyone

Just a quick post to say that i hope everyone had a great mother's day and you were all spoilt.

Looking forward to catching up with everyone really soon

Trac

HI everyone

The 19th sounds good to me too! It was great catching up with everyone on the 28th. So nice to finally meet some people here in Canberra- it was great to just talk with some other adults!!Hope everyone had a lovely mothers day with their precious little ones. Mine was extra special being my very first one and all! Look forward to seeing everyone again on the 19th at Lollipops!:dance:

Hello everyone.

Unfortunately I won't be able to make it next week, Tim is going away with Army reserves for two weeks on friday. :(
I hope you all have fun anyway, and I'll catch up with everyone next time.

Melissa

Awwww that's a shame - just when I am letting Giselle wag day care too for a play :lol:

I'll be there - Trac, B will still be there yeah?

I have just ventured into cloth nappies - I am lovin' them too just quietly - and feeling very good about not contributing to landfill - wish I had of done them with Giselle now. I did flats with Riley for a while until 3 months and then couldnt be bothered. :redface:

Zander still has no teeth - I can't believe it. And still doesnt wanna swallow any food - he will shove it in though - oh well his choice, it will come I spose.

Anyway see you next Tuesday ... :)

I will be there next week. As long as bub and I get over our colds.

I will be there...not many more sleeps now until we get to have our chat and cuppa lol

It is a shame that you won't be able to make it Misty, take care of yourself and we will organise another catch up for you soon.

Sam, yes B will be with me, so it will be nice for G and B to have a play.

Sweetpea, hope you are all feeling better soon.

Virgo, are you coming on Tuesday?

KJ79, hope all is well and look forward to seeing you on Tues.

Chepie, hope you are also well, are we going to get to see you on Tues or are you working?

Kimbear, hope all is well and hope to see you on Tues

I am sorry if i have missed anyone. Hope everyone is well and looking forward to catching up soon.

We are all well, not much been happening here. We are off down the coast for a few nights tomorrow which will be nice just to get away. Really looking forward to it actually just need to get myself organised and packed as Scott wants to leave early of course.

Looking forward to catching up with you all on Tuesday 10:30ish???

Hi ladies, I've just found this forum tonight and was wondering if by any chance I could meet up with you all? I moved to Canberra in January because of Hubby's job and thought it would be easy to meet people but after almost 6 months realise that I barely know anyone and start to feel really lonely. I have DD 4 yrs and DS 2 1/2 yrs and pregnant with baby 3 (due in 7 weeks). Please let me know if you don't mind adding another member to your group...Cheers.

Of course you are welcome! the more the merrier!
I won't be meeting up with everyone on tuesday :( but I am sure everyone else would love to see you there. :)

If you can make it, everyone is meeting up at Lollipops out at Brand depot on tuesday at about 10.30. Just look for the bunch of women gasbagging or ask everyone if they are from Bellybelly. :)

Hi Frenchy - YAY please come!!

Trac and I both have 4yo DD's so they can give a good play together too.

Wow you are going to be a busy woman ;)

Hope to see you on Tuesday ato 10.30ish at Lollipops at BRand Depot!

Thank you! I will then join you on Tuesday. I'm really looking forward to meeting other mums. I have longish brown hair, a pregnant belly and 2 kids in tow. As there may be a few of us like that (pregnant ladies everywhere at the moment!), I'm also the one who speak French to my kids (Hence Frenchy...). See you on Tuesday then.

Hi everyone

I will be there tomorrow.

See you all at 10.30ish

WOW, ok, we'll need a table for around 8 - allowing a couple of chairs for kiddies :)

See you then.

Hi all.

I will be there but late, as my daughter has a mums morning tea on till 1030. So should be there by 11.
