View Full Version : BRISBANE - Annual Brisbane Morning Tea 2009 - ITS TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi all
Well - as stated in the general morning tea thread - Brisbane had the biggest turn out for the morning tea last year - lets not disappoint this year!!!
When - Saturday the 13th of June
Time - 10am
Where - Under the Whales at the Brisbane Museum (note - last year it was noisy under the whales, due to echoes etc, if weather permits, we will move around the corner where its more open)
How will I find the gathering? - follow the pink streamers, pink balloons, pink ribbons on prams and the big pink cake!
Will it be scary? well .. umm maybe if you dont like balloons??? otherwise hell no - lots of talk, food, laughter - and afterwards you can take the kid(s) on a tour of the museum ...
How do I get there? - its up to you - you can park under the museum if you like, its about $11-$12 per car .. or you can catch public transport in - the museum is a short walk from public transport options
What do I need to bring? - just your own drinks, and if you would like more than cake for morning tea, a few snacks (there was HEAPS of cake last year, so there will be plenty to go around :) ) a blanket is a smart idea too
I would love to get chatting in the thread - find out who in brisbane is interested in coming :)
thanks
Jen

Would make it easier to know who is who when everyone first meets.

I will be there, but I am dragging DP along this time, I dont want to have to run after my explorer Little miss again concidering I will be 7 months pregnent:laughing: ( but would be a funny site)
I have been waiting for this to pop up again, I was in Townsville last year.
DP will be a little peeved cause its his Bday weekend but we will just have to go away the weekend before cause I am coming to this:laughing:
Looking forward to it:yelclap:
Would there be any chance of Hilary and Brad making an apperance:D
I would love to meet the Bubhub Mummy and Daddy?
We will be there - cant wait to meet up with others and put names to faces.
OMG Mrs She- we get to meet! :thumbsup:

*bumpity bump*.. Come on ladies! :D
Yep Jen, I'll remind you about the name tags.. Shhhhhh, we should have kept the cake a secret, no doubt the other states will try to lure more members with cake :yes:.. We however don't NEED to offer cake.. Brisi chicks are so darn good they'd come cake or no cake, right?! :p
Right Leen! Although... there had better be cake :p

pffft our cake will be SO FAR SUPERIOR .. let the other states try .. *snigger* .. I know a wonderful place to get it from (I"m not going to risk the health of bubhubbers by making it myself .. I don't need to be on the news :laughing: )
YAY!!!! I cant belive so many people are keen to meet - that is awesome .. we MUST at least beat Melbourne and Sydney - we cant have those capital cities thinking they are better .. pfft ..

Hey! My name is jess... VERY new here!! I am 22 and 20 weeks pregnant with my first baby... which I just found out is a boy and we are going to call him Sonny (just thought i'd explain the name lol) When I first found out about this meet it was like... omg! no way.... rock up by myself... never!! But reading what all of you have been writing about going... I am becoming convinced! You sound like a fun group!!
I have just moved to Bris from Townsville and know hardly anyone.. so this could be good!!
But I need to ask... what is the address of the Museum? lol... I know it is in the city but thats about as far as i have got so far.... Brisbane is soooooo big! I live on the North side and dont leave it very often!! hehe But I do have a GPS!
Jess
sonnysmum, it'd be a good way to meet some Brisbane ladies if you're new down here :)
To get to the museum, you can catch a bus to the multicultural centre and its right near there, or theres parking there too.. It's basically next to Southbank.. Do you know where the art gallery is?

11-05-2009, 15:59
OH! I just read this thread.... I want to come!! I like cake!!! And DD likes cake too, especially pink cake!:yes:
YAY for more people :yelclap:
Seth&Ruby'smum- Lucky your kids have you for their mum... if they were relying on me to make a glutenfree cake....
Totally impressed with some of the local shops over here though, we have a specialty shop that does gluten free... and ACTUAL gluten free... not the pretend version where they cook it with the same utensils etc.
sonnysmum ( tobe :D ) if you go to googlemaps and look for GREY street brisbane.. I"m 99% sure the museum is ON THAT street ..
and yes you can park underneath .. but its about $11?? ish dollars
You are most welcome to come - how exciting to be expecting a new bubba .. congrats :D
As for the people who love cake .. come one .. come all .. there will be HEAPS of cake :laughing: even for husbands with hollow legs!!

Jen
even for husbands with hollow legs!!
I'll hold you to that:p

12-05-2009, 10:15

what does dh and dd mean? is that something to do with the dads?

Yes Yes (smartypants) I will have had breakfast ... so I promise not to bite :p the cake WILL be good .. last year I went back for seconds :laughing:
The museum is an awesome place to have it - last year so many of us took the kids for a walk through the museum after morning tea :D it was a great day. Come on brissie chicks ... its FREE CAKE (and fantastic company :laughing: )

I'm thinking about it. I would love to come with DD to meet other hubbers. It would be a great day out for her.

DF asks, "So ... are we having a year old cake ... ?
:laughing: slap him for being a smart **** :p the cake will be fresh and gorgeous - of course it IS travelling to the event in my car, so it MAY have a chunk out of it by the time it arrives... but I"ll do my best to cover that bit up with icing and decorations :p

I think we may need to arrange an escort to travel with the cake and Veve :rolleyes:

you dont HAVE to let me know - but the more people who come .. the bigger the cake (cause I'm not that good at sharing .. so the pieces have to be decent ones ) .. closer to the date I'll write a list of who is supposed to be coming .. and base the cake size on that .. whooohooo ..
sooooooooooooooo .. basically if you dont confirm, and I'm hungry - you might not get that last piece of cake :) (but you will be MOST welcome at the morning tea :) )

I'll be there too - plus bub-hubbies and bubhub-bubs. Hopefully some of the office crew will come along too.

I'm a little scared, so I'm thinking of hovering up on top of one of the whales and spying on everyone. Then sneaking cake when no one is looking.

MMMM cake. I might join you up there on the whales :)
Careful ladies.. Those whales are mighty high, and I'm sure the whale sounds will be extra loud all the way up there :p.. Not to mention the cake will most definitely be guarded by Jen, and myself :laughing:

Hey... Just letting you know I should definately be coming! My fiancee is away with the Army for 3 weeks :( so instead of being the biggest loner in the world at home, I want to come and meet some more Brisbane people :) Will be sooo good to get out of the house! I'm 22 and 23 weeks pregnant.. so nothing should be stopping me :) I was a bit scared to be rocking up by myself, as my only child is in my belly! But I don't like being a loner here, so I have nothing to lose! :) Can't wait to meet you all! :)

Hi all. we will try and make it. Would love to meet some lovelly bubhubbers
Just thought I'd post this so people were aware.. It come to our attention that from 10am-3pm they have the southbanks regional flavours event on at the parklands. Theres going to be things like wine tasting and fresh produce stuff there so you may like to squeeze some of that into your day too.
We just thought it might be worth mentioning, because parking may be more limited, although the closest parking is the museum parking, not the southbank parking so it may not be *too* bad.. It may be wiser to catch public transport in if its easy and accessable though so parking isn't a worry.
Just a heads up! So now there'll be cake, good company, AND wine tasting :p.. Beat that other states :laughing:
Ohhh... and there is also yummy fresh produce samples.
YAY for South Banks's Regional Flavours :yelclap:
DOH:doh: I just realised I can't make it :crying:. DH graduates from the Police Academy on the 12th and on the 13th I got us a room for the night on the Gold Coast for a suprise. So excited about going away but I just realised it's the same date as this. What a douche bag lol :

I've been checking out all the replies to see how many names I 'know'...only 3 or 4, but I would still like to come - obviously I will know a lot more afterwards :D Also keen to check out some more MCNs IRL so hoping there are a few clothies going along.
And....when I finally get to the end of all the posts, I find that the Regional Tastes thingy is on, which I've already conned mum into going to, so we will be in the area anyway, so will definately have to drop by.

trin_007, veve is a cloth mum, so undoubtedly her youngest will be in his saturdays finest!
If Nic71 comes (not sure if she is or not!), she's also another cloth mum.. I'm sure there will be others there too :yes:
Did I hear the work cake mentioned???? :D mmmmmmm cake *wipes drool from mouth*
we'll be there :yes: its DS's special day, so i'll be taking him on a special train ride up :D he loves going on the train, so he'll have a ball, whats better than hanging out with other kids and train rides on ya birthday lol
:crying: I'm sad about that leisa. *shakes fist and Leisa husbands achievements*
I know, damn him! LOL When I told him we wouldn't be going because we're double booked he was very upset as he was more than looking forward to cake. Poor Andrew :(
I'm totally bummed. In saying that though, check in is at 1pm and it's only an hour or so away from the coast so we probably could squeeze by for some cake..... lol.

I remember seeing him last year Mel, he was very tiny indeed!
Ohhhh Jo, that sucks!!! I hope you're able to make it.. I'm sure we'll still be there hanging about and chatting at 11:30!

Won't be able to make it, babysitting job that day and I couldn't refuse. LOL.
Have fun ladies.
ok .. about the pram ribbons :) At the moment - I"m in charge of the dispensing of them :) the orders are collated once a month, and posted at the same time - so if you order at the start of the month - you may still have to wait till the END of the month for the list to be finalised - then printed - then posted.
Please appreciate that often when I go to the post office, I have one child screaming (real tears and all) to get down .. while the other is helping himself to the items within a three year olds reach- last time he was carrying a box of 500 envelopes for me, and decided he wanted to read what was on the BOTTOM of the box ... sigh you can imagine how long it took me (while wrestling the one year old) to pick up the 500 envelopes .. %^&$%^) :p so sometimes it takes me awhile to post them :laughing:
I promise ALL ribbons that are ordered get sent out .. :D
(I will also have an array of ribbons, bubhub carstickers and bits and pieces at the morning tea ... )

Jen
Surely it wouldn't take THAT long to pick up 500 envelopes with 2 children in tow??? :rolleyes: I'll tell you ladies.. That vevie, shes a slack one:shame::laughing:
Only two more sleeps ladies!!
So who's a definite yes?? So many have pulled out :(
I'm a definitive (maybe). I've got the flu at the moment

I never book into these things until the last minute because E can get v sick at the drop of a hat, cheeky monkey!
We will be there, we are doing the family thing but DP is taking DS into the museum while i am with you girls.
He is really shy but i told him i wasnt doing the city with 2 kids on my own while 6 months pregnent so the museum is our compromise.
Looking forward to it.
Can I have someones Mob number incase I get lost?

It's called the queensland museum I think (that's what came up when I googled it) and it's on the corner of Grey Street and another one LOL.
And yay I get to meet morrigan and heaps of other people!
Veve DS is mildly chocolate intolerant (no really) but I am bringing some snacks from him in case he cannot cope with the cake.
naiwen, I'm pretty sure it'll be a vanilla sponge with mock cream :) No chocolate.. At least if it's the same as last year,.. Vanilla is usually a safe choice so I'm assuming that's what veve's ordered. For those that need directions, I'm going to upload a map shortly.
ETA: Ok here we go..
Here's a map of where exactly the museum is .. If you're catching the bus, you can get dropped off at the cultural centre RIGHT outside the museum. If you're driving, follow the blue P signs, parking is directly under the museum at $12 a day. We'll be kinda where the red cross is, either in the corridor with the whales, or directly outside.

Here's an actual map of level 2 of the museum... Now, some people had trouble finding it last year because the whales can be a bit hard to see if you don't know what you're looking for. They're not actually inside the museum, but there will be a looooonnnggg corridor that echo's (oh god, does it ever echo), and it plays lovely whale sounds. We'll either be in that corridor right near the whales, or we'll be outside and around the corner a smidge (marked on the map). There will be pink balloons and streamers, so it shouldn't be too hard to spot!

Visitor info and museum directions in case anyone wants them.
bAaM, I haven't met you yet, but I'm more then happy to give you my mobile number in case you get lost. The offer stands for everyone else coming.. If you'd like my mobile number, please shoot me a PM tonight and I'll make sure everyone has it :) I need to be out the door pretty early tomorrow so if you're wanting a PM, make sure you tell me before about 7:30 in the morning :laughing:
Ok.. All done.. Hope that helps someone!

:yelclap: I am excited to meet you too Naiwen and everyone else as well.
biggest outing i have had in years.. cant remember when the last actual party (outside of family) was.. so i am going to notch this up as a 'party' :yes:
:laughing: Morrigan, I told dd we were having a big party, but that it was a party for everyone... She went on to ask me if everyone in the world would be there, and I said wellll maybe not EVERYONE in the world.. Then she ask's if there'll be millions of people there :laughing:

Thanks Leeny.
Does anyone know if the makets are on at southback in the morning?
I dont know if we will be there for to long cause I want to get home for a nanny nap before a football bbq for DS tomorrow arvo.
LOL, yes. I'm not coming- so I won't infect any of you with my piggy cough (although I am not yet sure I have it... I just had the pleasent swabs today).
As for DH being worried about bubs... just stay a meter away from anyone and risk goneski's. Oh, and even if you were to catch it the only real risk to bubs is the fever that comes with it... The rest is just uncomfortable and annoying since there is nothing we can take.:rolleyes:
Thanks Leeny.

see now if the morning tea was on the sunday, I would be there with bell's on :yes:
:laughing: Excuses! Ahhhh next time hey? :)
yeah definatly next time, it seams to be always the way with me, I never have anything to do, and when somthing is on, i've got something else happening :hair::crying:
What time does the Morning Tea finish?
Jensha, I'd think that we'll be wrapping up sometime between 12-1pm? :)
Ahhhh I shall dream of cake.. mmm... Knowing my lovely little child, she wont eat breakfast and will end up having cake for breakfast like last year :rolleyes:
Enjoy your yummy cake everyone, have fun :) Sorry we'll miss it:wave:

Thank you all for coming ladies! It was a wonderful morning.. I must say, I don't have any photos ready *right* now.. And I didn't take as many as last year.. Then sun was far too harsh this year.. Last year we had a lovely overcast day and 10-2 really is terrible for photos :laughing:
I'll upload one later tonight when I get home again.. I'm stuffed!
It was lovely to meet you all and put some faces to the names. People never look like what you think they will!

Thanks everyone
It was great to meet up, and with some of you for the second time.:yes: The cake was delicious too, yumm.
I am sorry I had to leave, would have liked to stay longer, but I had previously promised my mum that we would do something as she was babysitting my nephew and I forgot. Oh and they loved the cake too.

I turn up, and no-one is under the whales. I look all around trying to see a pink pram ribbo, and comment about a pink streamer that indicates they've been. DD2 says that she's seen lots of pink balloons and streamers, so we head over to there. And yes, that was it. I arrived just as the meet was breaking up. The cake delayed its departure just long enough for us to have some. And other people stayed to chat for a little while.
Afterwards, we went to the museum and then the markets at Southbank. DD2 really enjoyed herself, even though she felt her feet were going to drop off.
DD6's voice is very scratchy this morning, so it appears she is coming down with something. She was in her pram for during the meet, so hopefully no-one would've caught it from her.
We were intending on going to The Big Day Out and Mount Cootha gardens today, but I dont think I should take DD6 now. I dont want her to make anyone else's kids sick. (She doesn't have a temperature, so it is just a scratchy throat.)

We only just missed you then, S&R'sMum, it was 12:08 when I arrived at the whales (though took a little longer to find everyone).
My toddler does appear to have a bit of a cold, her voice is still altered, and she's got a bit of a runny nose today. However, no other symptoms or signs of distress at all. So I'm sure she'll be fine soon.
I'm even sadder than I thought. I realised that I wore the same jeans to last years annual morning tea and they are still my 'new' jeans. I was just flicking through some photos and... I wore the same top last year too!!!! :( :o

im confused. where are the pics your referring to.... or did you guys take your own:confused::o
Leeny was wondering around taking some pics hun, but she is very subtle about it so that's why you didnt notice probably.
LOL I am so proud of myself for not buying anything at the markets afterwards.

the cake was AWESOME .. and although at the start of the morning tea - the cake looked HUGE .. seriously .. there was basically just one row of slices left .. it was so delish that we pretty much polished it off!!!!
No photos yet .. sheesh .. these professional photographers take ages ... anyone would think she was going away soon and was stressed about something else :p
