[babytoo]

Hi all

I hope I don't offend anyone because I am not meaning to but I would really like to meet some new friends around my area, age etc....so...

Do you live Chevron, Ashmore, Bundall, Sorrento, Benowa, Broadbeach? around about these areas??

Are you over 28?

Kids?

Love to hear from you all.....

Hi there!
I live near Surfer's and have an 11 month old son. Are you worried about offending people cos you're only looking for "oldies"?!:laughing: Apparently, I fit the description being 31 (and ignoring the fact I am, in fact almost 32!).
Anyway, a few of us from around these parts have met up a few times. In fact, there's talk (another thread about it) of meeting at Kel's Cubbyhouse on Monday if you are free and/or interested! If not, would be good to catch up with you some other time!

Hi Babytoo & Scarlett

I am from Ashmore and I think I fit your description! I am 32 and have a 7 month old little girl. Isn't it sad that we are not in the catagory of 'young' anymore! I still feel young though!!!

I was also worried initially about not knowing any other mums with bubs, but you'll soon find you get to know quite a few. I meet up with some other mums from the bubhub site quite regularly. If you are interested, drop me a line! Be great to meet you!

There are quite a few playgroups around - check out Playgroup Australia on the Internet. Also, another great place to go and mingle with others is Gymboree - its behind Babies galore at Parkwood and its so cool for the kids. It's a big playtime for the bubs that is run by a teacher - you get a free trial session there, so its worth ringing up and going along for a look. I have met lots of really nice mums there.

Claire :)

Thanks Guys - thought about heading to Kel's on Monday...see how things pan out..don't know why but I just feel like a dill rocking up to a table of people I don't even know...lol...coming from someone who is from a sales and marketing background....lol

I want my son to meet some new friends as well....he goes to kindy but started a new one this year, has made friends there easily and the kids love him but for some reason never gets invited to any of the birthday parties...its a small quite exclusive kindy and I don't think I fit the profile of the other mums (god I hope none of the mums are on here!) lol

Anyway, great talking and I hope to get to know you all more

Thanks for that zactyl.....What ages is the playgroup for? Is it Church orientated? What happens...do I just turn up?

Hi Babytoo. I've been to a couple of the gold coast meets and everyone i have met have been really friendly. I'm a slacko and don't drive so it's a bit hard for me to get to some of them. :rolleyes: I live in Broadbeach and go to a playgroup at Miami which is great....you can go along to any playgroup and check it out. They usually let you have 2 or 3 free visits before joining so you can decide if it's right for you.

Ages 0-4, there are a few 4 year olds.
The Playgroup is run by the church, it's Playgroup Association Affiliated (the church pays for insurance, so you don't need to be a Playgroup Association member) but it's not religious.
You just turn up! Gold coin donation, bring a water bottle for your child, playgroup provides morning tea (fruit, sandwiches) for the children, hot drinks and biscuits for parents. Aylee and I will be there, come and say hello! I'm the only dad, so should be easy to spot :D

Added:
No playgroup for the next three weeks, back on the 18th of July. Cost is increasing to $5 per family.
