Brisbane May Dinner - The Thread!

[Seekrit]

HAH! after 3 threads I've made a decision! Proud of me? :p

Where: Same place as discussed. PM me for details if you've not sure. :)
I have been told there's no parking at the venue other than on street (possibly metered) or the pay-parking over the road. So maybe we could carpool some if we're coming from the area to help with that expense.. and the environment and all... of course.

When: WEDNESDAY the 17th of May
7-7.30pm start

I've had a few PMs asking if it's a kid & husband event. As with previous dinners most of the ladies take these nights as an opportunity to go out kid free. From other Brisbanites I spoke to about this, the general consensus is babies yes, older than babies, preferably not.
As for husbands/partners.. they may feel left out since most of the other ones are either a: at home letting you have a girls night out and looking after the bubs/kids or b: doing their own thing that night! :) It really is more of a girls' night. They certainly are welcome tho'!

So. Who's coming? Reply to this post and I'll add you to the list.

Yay! I'm not going to be a Nigel!

[Tea Lady]

[Seekrit]

Thanks for organising this, you are a champ. :smiliedance:
All in a days work *superman pose*

*grin*

[veve]

Thanks for organising this, you are a champ. :smiliedance:


ooooh ... no one called ME a champ for organising dinners :p I'm jealous!!!! - someone wants the gnome me thinks :laughing:

I'll be there seekrit... no Jack... no nick-o-less... just me :)

xx

[Seekrit]

that's because I just am a champ. People are only just starting to notice.

[lukaelmo]

Ya ya, me be there too, ya :D .

Veve, you are a champion :D .

[veve]

Veve, you are a champion :D .

aww ... :laughing: ok - I'm happy now.... :laughing:

[Seekrit]

Ali! Now she'll have a swell head. Like she didn't already.

;) Just kidding, you know we love ya, Vevers. :hugs:

[veve]

ROFL .... well... I WOULD have a swelled head... cept Jack has a clever knack of keeping me well grounded.... I got piddled on tonight..... :laughing:

[Seekrit]

that, my dear, is why you need a Pee-Pee Tee-Pee (http://shop.nurturecenter.com/petebyurbade.html)

[veve]

I would only be tempted if they came in a 'frog print' - they MIGHT have a buyer then :laughing:

xxx

[xkwzit]

OK, I've heard of the tee pee before, but this is the first time I've seen it. Comeone, that's got to be absolutley no good, wouldn't it just shoot right? Someone once mentioned to me they use a tissue, sounds like a much more practical idea.

Cheers

[veve]

oh my goodness X ... you just gave em the image of a tee pee flying across the room ... LOL ...

I usually just flick the towel over him... free and also easy to wash :rolleyes:

(today I was holding him... waiting for the shower to warm up - so even a teepee couldn't have saved me :laughing:

[Seekrit]

I was picturing more of a cartoonesque geyser, with the teepee hovering over the top :D

Some people say I have an overactive imagination...

[mixi_mama]

not sure if i can make it this time guys - its quite a distance to "the place" from my place (i cant drive my car :gloomy: )

[Puk]

Is it time to go yet? I wanna go nnoooowwww! *stamps foot and pouts*

[TrulyBlessed]

Sorry I haven't been about lately guys. Had to have a baby :D

I'll be a maybe at this stage. Waiting to see what DH roster for work is. But if I come I'll be bringing Declan along with me if thats ok.

[poshBecks]

Is it time to go yet? I wanna go nnoooowwww! *stamps foot and pouts*
Me to puk... me too!!!:chef:

[xkwzit]

Congrats Amy

I love the name Declan. Little babies are always welcome, many hands to pass them round if you like.

Cheers

[Seekrit]

I want to go now too.

I'm a hungry hungry hippo.

[TwoBoysOnly]

Hi I have just moved to Brisbane and am wondering if I can join the girls night out so I can meet a few new people :wave:

[Oscar's mum]

Of course you can come TwoBoysOnly as can any other Bub Hubber!;)

[Seekrit]

I've sent you a PM with the details of where it is :) I'll pop your name on the list :D :yes:

[Shelly68]

Because I'm having a 'blonde moment' (no offence intended), I can't remember what the cuisine is,

Is it P/C?? or was that last month?

[veve]

ROFL - dont worry shell .. I can remember where it is... I'm now fussy on the date and time!!!!! HA!! (note to self... get less blonde foils next time!!)

- Nikki can you PM us both???

xx

[Seekrit]

I can't believe YOU of all people forgot my dear Veve.

PM sent.

[veve]

oh I forgot.. but I will be there!!!! LOL .. even if I'm double booked .. the other commitment will be cancelled!!!! :D

xx

[Kat =^.^=]

Hello there ... I'm new to bub hub too but would love to come - only thing is I'm due on the 22nd so might pike at the last minute or have to do something else like have the baby ... :yelclap: can't wait to meet the little kicker!

Would I please be able to get venue and food details if possible and put my name on the list too?

Thanks

[Seekrit]

Added and PMed!

I love your little kitty face *grin*

[lros34]

Hello All,

I am new to the bubhub forum and I am looking to meet other Brissie mums. I was wondering whether anyone can join you for the dinner on the 17th May?

If it is alright for me to come along please pm or em me the details. I probably will be bringing my son as he is 3mths old and dh will most likely be working that night.

Cheers,

[jaimie]

i would love to come too! can somebody pm me the details? Thanx:)

[veve]

seekrit...

will you be able to (or anyone else) supply nametages and nikko on the night??? I would love to .. umm 'borrow' some from work... but I dont have access to the stockpile at the moment :laughing:

jsut a reminder cause there seem to be so many lovely unknown mums coming :smiliedance:

[Seekrit]

I'm sure I can liberate some from somewhere.......... :p

[Seekrit]

I should probably book a table for this shin-dig eh?

Can all and sundry peruse the list and let me know if you're all on there? Especially those bringing wee bubs (if wee bubs needs a chair of any description let me know)

[dotori]

sounds cool. i'd love to join :yes:

[dotori]

Hiya that sounds cool. i'd love to join :smiliedance: just let me know the location.
and time. :yes: then i'll try my best to find out ya :o
coz i dont drive and not so sure about it yet...

[Tea Lady]

Hi dotori, sorry I didn't get back to you yesterday - I was going to tell you to respond on this thread so I'm glad you found it :) Seekrit will be able to PM you with the details.

[veve]

just to let all you bubhubbers know that I will probably have to bring JAck with me to the dinner...(DH has made plans :banghead: without checking the date first)

considering that his bedtime is 7ish .. I cant imagine he will be an issue :) .... but if you DO want cuddles... you better get in early before he turns feral :laughing:

xxx

[TrulyBlessed]

Could someone please PM me the details.

[Maghan]

I think I will be in the area that night, can someone PM me the details too?

P.S. Veve, when has your cute little bubba ever been feral??

[veve]

P.S. Veve, when has your cute little bubba ever been feral??


oooh dont let him hear that question.. he might feel the need to demonstrate :rolleyes: (usually feral is only due to teeth and or flu... so the odds are good) :)

xx

[draught]

Having just realised that dinner is Wednesday, not Thursday :banghead: (that is me realising that I am an idiot) I am able to attend as DH is home that night. I even have a lift arranged so will see you there and don't need a PM with the details as I will just do as I am told.

[xkwzit]

There's a good Draughty :yes: :yes:

[rynosmum]

Hmmm....strangely enough Draughty, I thought it was the same night as you so I may have to do some rearranging now....:gloomy:

But I will plan to be there too - please add me to the list !

[draught]

Sorry - I spoke too soon. I have just spoken to DH and found out that although he is coming home on Monday it won't be until really late so I will only get to see him Tuesday and Wednesday evenings after work and I am really missing him so would like to stay home and see him before he disappears again for another couple of weeks. So as much as I would love to see you all, family wins this time.

Oh well - there is always next month!

[Seekrit]

PMed, added, removed.

And I'm wearing funky PJs. :smiliedance:

[poshBecks]

[Oscar's mum]

Have a great time everybody .. I'm a little late seeing this thread .. I'm definately coming next time.


Not too late to come to this one!;)

[Puk]

Ok, if worse comes to worst i have found some little round labels that could work if i can't find the others or if no-one else brings some! :smiliedance:

[tickle]

Sorry everyone I have to pike. My Happy Baby is not so happy and won't be the greatest company. I'm sure you don't want to hear her crying all night.
Hope to get to the next one.:o

[Seekrit]

I'll be happy to hear her crying.... :(

[tickle]

You say that now Nikki.:p
I don't really want to take her out when she's not feeling the best. I think she has an upset tummy, poor little bugger.:(

[Seekrit]

Yeah, I understand!
Next time! :hugs: Have a good night at home

[veve]

My little guy has spots on his face :(
I think they are from the dog licking him (he and puppy love each other :D ) - but that could be where the spots have come from..

I have wiped him down.. and he is asleep - but if the spots keep appearing .. I'll have to give dinner a miss..

BUT - if i can .. I will be there...(it would be the first dinner I have missed :( )

:fingerscrossed: spots go away!!!

xx

[Seekrit]

:eek: :eek:
GO AWAY SPOTS!

[veve]

:eek: :eek:
GO AWAY SPOTS!

I know .. I know ... :fingerscrossed: :fingerscrossed: !!!

[lukaelmo]

Luka gets spots around his mouth from time to time. I thought he was allergic to the yoghurt I was giving him, but the CHN said it was a teething rash... Is there such thing? Anyway, my point is, maybe Jack has teething rash spots, if indeed there is such a thing as teething rash.

Clear as crystal that was.

[Oscar's mum]

I know .. I know ... :fingerscrossed: :fingerscrossed: !!!


Oh Veve please update us if you are coming cause I was bringing those nappies for you to give to your friend tonight!

[veve]

Oh Veve please update us if you are coming cause I was bringing those nappies for you to give to your friend tonight!

oh yeah... :)

well at the moment.. I am thinking.. that since they are only on his face ... (at the moment :rolleyes: ) they have to be a contact reaction??? yes???

all contagious spots start on the torso dont they???

xxx

[veve]

ooh - see I thought YOU might suggest measles... smallpox... rabies... cancer... tumour... :laughing: being that we are sooo paranoid :D

xx

[lukaelmo]

Are they around his mouth?

[lukaelmo]

ooh - see I thought YOU might suggest measles... smallpox... rabies... cancer... tumour... :laughing: being that we are sooo paranoid :D

xx

Well nothing but the best for our babies. Perhaps I could suggest Ross River Fever?

[veve]

not really... some on his forehead- a few near his eye (mostly under his first and second chin though :rolleyes: )

I"m thinking dog at the moment... - he was outside in his jolly jumper... they were playing...

:fingerscrossed: :fingerscrossed:

[veve]

Well nothing but the best for our babies. Perhaps I could suggest Ross River Fever?

AHA!!! we have a diagnosis :laughing: and here I was thinking whopping cough :laughing: .... thanks babe :)

[Seekrit]

in my expert non-medical opinion i'd suggest they're contact reaction :D

[veve]

in my expert non-medical opinion i'd suggest they're contact reaction

ahhh (whew) well thats alright then :laughing:

- it is SO frustrating when they sleep!!! when they are awake you want them to sleep... but I want him to wake up so I can check his spots! :laughing: - I'm not poking him though... it is blissfully quiet :)

xx

[Seekrit]

let's not look at my non-ironed-well pants (they wouldn't iron!!!) and the fact that I don't have suitable shoes.

I do have suitable undies, however.

[veve]

nikki has granny undies .... nikki has granny undies .... nikki has granny undies .... nikki has granny undies .... nikki has granny undies .... nikki has granny undies ....

:p :p :laughing:

[Puk]

I do have suitable undies, however.

I don't!!! :eek: :eek:

Veve, i hope the little man's spots clear up! It wouldn't be the same without you!

[Seekrit]

I said SUITABLE!
Not granny :p

my granny undies are packed in my hospie bag.... :o

[Puk]

nikki has granny undies .... nikki has granny undies .... nikki has granny undies .... nikki has granny undies .... nikki has granny undies .... nikki has granny undies ....

LOL!!

I only quoted this because it needed to be continued! :p

[Seekrit]

and and and I'm going to go and pick Puk up from work and stuff then wait for Becca-Rae and THEN get going.

So see you all there :D

(and if anyone can bring sticky labels that would be great, I'd hate to have to do the whole writing backwards on our forehead thing...) :p
