Sorry I don't live nearby, but I think it's a great idea. Hope you have lots of fun.

[Starlet]

Bah humbug. I'll be at work!

[Kazamataz]

Oh Boo :thumbsdown: I can't make it, Its just too far away.
If our car wasn't so crappy I would so make the drive.

I'd love to meet other FIFO mums.

Have a good time, If I win the lotto I'll join you :laughing:

Hi there T&B
It has been a while but seem to be chasing my tail a bit these days.
Wondering how the lunches are going?

Hi,

are there any fifo mums north of the river who might want to get together or start a fifo playgroup ? Me(butler) and 2 fifo mums(belmont) are wanting to set something up.
Whether we meet in a park or at home(when it isn't trashed..) once a week, love to hear from you (even if you have some tips)

Belmont area is not far from me but with out a car butler is just too far away.
Id be interested if it was something in the inner north.

[Starlet]

Butler is a bit far for me too, but happy to travel to Belmont area!

[berniebabe]

I can come to Belmont too :) It will have to be soon though, we are moving.

[mythreelittlemonkeys]

Boys and me...I went to a couple - they were good! I have been overseas so not been for a while...there is one on Wednesday at 12 if you are not too busy :)

Belmont bit far for me for regular meets...but could come occasionally :)

Hi,

I'd like to meet other FIFO mums, I'm in the Karrinyup area (still getting myself familiarised with the suburbs) if that suits anyone?

[westketeers]

hi mums,

it's been a little while since my last post re fifo mums meet/playgroup. It looks like we might have to settle for a central place/park around Perth as we're all spread out over town.
If we can pick a regular day, then we can organise something especially as the weather is clearing up :sunshine:. I am in Butler and don't mind driving, maybe if we go 1 week south of river, the next week north of river ?
If there is a need for official FIFO playgroup, we'll have to stick to 1 suburb unless we visit in each other houses(or nearby park/beach).
Anyway let me know your wishes, so we really can get something of the ground.
DH is back wednesday night, so relieve and help is on the way as I am about to :hair: with my tigers who are now sound :sleeping: leaving me to clean up the mess as you do on a saturday night :thumbsdown:.

Hope to hear from you soon :wave:

Hi Tillie and Bug, can you please tell me if the lunches are still going on in Parmelia?? Im in Port Kennedy and im looking for a playgroup & since my Partner works away we will all be in the same boat... Cheers Kellie

[mythreelittlemonkeys]

Yes they are next week there is one :) at 12 at the frank konecny centre...i hope to make it...been over seas and then really flat out but slowing down now so would be cool to go again...
Best to ring the Frank Konecny Centre...there details etc can be found on www.kwinanakids.com

[Mrs Mining Man]

Hi all,

Westketeers, I like your idea about finding somewhere central and making it a regular thing. If weekly is too much, perhaps it could be fortnightly?

I'm also happy to travel if I have to, even though I have no idea still about suburbs, DH bought me a GPS so I can get around and I have to admit, I do love it!

Not sure how we go about arranging something through the forum and the only suggestion I have about where, would be the kids playground at Kings Park. I've been there, but otherwise I'm not familiar enough with places to make a suggestion.

:fingerscrossed: this gets off the ground.

hey ya everyone. Im new here. My partner is a fifo and we've been doing it for bout 10 months now. I live close to the airport in perth but havnt met that many people with partners working away. Do any of you know of a playgroup for families of fifo's. I've got a 3 year old and a 1 1/2 year old and i think they need the interaction just as much as me

[sophielee]

:wave: oowah

I live in Bassendean area which is a stones throw away from the airport and my DH works a 2/1 shift. I have 2 DD's, DD1 is 9 & DD2 is 4 also I currently have 8 weeks to go before another addition to our brew is here! send me a PM if you want to catch up! :D

[westketeers]

Oowah, I've found you ! Well, it's up to us for the next fortnight. Let's catch up during this period, maybe with some other bubhubbers ?

[oowah]

hey. yeh all by ourselves again. I hate the first night i find it the hardest. definately have to catch up. I'm free mon, tues or thurs next week. To all the other hub/bubers i'm in cloverdale, so if any of you want to meet on those days I'll open my house up or we can meet somewhere mutual.

[westketeers]
