Brisbane AUGUST dinner

[TJ]

Hello Ladies,

thought i would try and give everyone as much notice as possible for the next Dinner.
I was thinking Saturday 26th August - 7.00pm ish....
I havent come up with a venue as yet - but will probably be in the city or city fringe so its central to most people.

If you have any suggestions let me know. Or as soon as i come up with one ill let you all know.

Can a mod please make this a 'sticky'

[Seekrit]

[filmgirlgail]

Hi

I'm new to this thread but would like to come. Luckily it doesn't clash with me seeing Hugh Jackman live the following Saturday in The Boy From Oz - sorry, just have to drop that one in whereever I can :p I've told my husband that even though I'll be less than a week away from giving birth I will still be sitting there drooling over Hugh in tight pants :D

Anyway, yes I plan to be there - maybe Park Road in Milton? Lots of restaurants there.

[Mariposa]

..may i suggest the Turkish restaurant at Southbank? :D Yummmm and we could get up to some bellydancing :laughing: [/FONT]

Belinda :p

[SweetDreams]

OMG I think I can make this one! Yippee! I'll have to bring bubs though... how's pram space? lol

Susan :)

[poshBecks]

Happy bday for 26th PB.
Why thankyou Ali!! :D

Hope you all have fun!!

[bec79]

Hi

maybe Park Road in Milton? Lots of restaurants there.

Thats where we had the last get together. I'm happy to go there agian, but somewhere different might be nice??

[filmgirlgail]

Hi Sweet Dreams

Just wondering if you have French connections from your signature?

[Seekrit]

Can I be the first to admit I'm not -really- made of a lot of money right now, so not somewhere heaps expensive? or somewhere with a range of meals and prices. :)

[veve]

[Mariposa]

DITTO :D

:yes: i third that :p

[♥My Innocent Angel♥]

i am definetly interested ....just curious will it be child friendly as i dont really have anyone to watch mia out here so if its not may not be able to make it

:)

[Shelly68]

What about the place where we had the very first meet, the food was fantastic, and the atmosphere was pretty good, and I can't for the life of me remember the suburb but it was a great place to go.

Somebody will remember, they had massive slabs of meat that you could choose from, I got the schnitzel and it was delish.

Very central to everybody (about half way)

[Seekrit]

that was the norman, wasn't it?

[TJ]

that was the norman, wasn't it?

yep i checked out the little Nick-o-less book and thats were it was.... where abouts it is?? i have no idea, never heard of it. your not talking about the Normanby hotel are you?

[ForeverMine]

yep i checked out the little Nick-o-less book and thats were it was.... where abouts it is?? i have no idea, never heard of it. your not talking about the Normanby hotel are you?



Oh Gwad.... now that place brings back memories... back in the days of (what a year ago) of reckless drinking and smoking and what not...

But I do LOVE the place on a sunday arvo. :D

[veve]

yes - the first meet was at the normanby hotel .. it was lovely food.. I dont know about child friendly though - there was barely enough room for JAcks' pram .. and he was the only child there..

oh .. and it is pretty loud... it would be really nice to find somewhere a little more quiet.... ( I know that everyone can hear you shelly .. but that would be due to your OWN volume device :p )

[mum23girls]

I'll be in!! :thumbsup:

I would suggest crushers.. they have a smorgasboard. They are at the Grange. Nice food of hot and cold!!

[Seekrit]

nono not the normanby! The norman!! different places! The Norman is on the south side... I can't remember the suburb... :S

the Normanby is up near Ashgrove.. although it's not too bad of a place, I just don't think it's a dinner place as much as it is a pub.. ?

[♥My Innocent Angel♥]

well good news on my end my mum is going to watch mia so it will just be big old me
lol
:D

[Pink73]

The Norman is near the Gabba and PA hospital if you mean where thay do great steaks

[TrulyBlessed]

What about the breakfast creek hotel? I hear they have great food and not too badly priced. Plus I believe they have a fair bit of space and best of all there is parking and easy to get to via public transport.

[Pink73]

The Breakfast creek and the norman are both great and both are owned by the same person

[TrulyBlessed]

The Breakfast creek and the norman are both great and both are owned by the same person

Really I didn't know that.

[Seekrit]

The Breakfast creek and the norman are both great and both are owned by the same person
they did seem similar :D

[Mariposa]

never heard of the norman :o only the normanby hotel. lols. sozzies, i cant think of anywhere atm, brain still gone. ( i think it aint returned since 98 :p ) but if i think of somewhere nice and cheap i will post agin.;)

[Pink73]

I have been told the SSS BBQ barn on Ann st is nice its like lone star thay give you nuts in a bucket when you arrive good for big groups if you look at there web site you can look at the menu

[laura25]

Hello ladies, i am interested in coming. I am just wondering if dp's and kids can come?

[dragonflyblu]

Hi all,

I have nothing on that night so I should be able to make it. Yay!

[mum23girls]

If anyone would like a lift I am coming from Mango Hill and I will have one other with me, so, if you do want to squish in the back seat, I am more than happy to take others!!! (You can be norti then!!) I will even take the baby seat out!!:D

first in first served!!!

Just let me know!

[Kooy]

Great idea mum23girls!

I'm coming from Everton Park, so am happy to pick anyone up who lives locally or on the way.. I'm still b/f so happy to be designated driver for the night!

Can't wait... it will be a fun night! :smiliedance:

[Jewelbar]

Hi All,:wave:
Well, after discovering that I DIDNT get sick after my interesting night in June, I went to Samford to house sit and work a home business for a month.

After that we came back, but it has been flat out, just to get a nursery together. It was finally finished today, although it looks a little sparce or "bland" as my husband puts it. We need some nails for hanging pics on the walls etc. I am also doing 2 oil paintings for babys room. I have done the prelim sketches, but havent started with the oils. I will do that tonight. It is a total experiment because I havent used oils before.

Of course I would love to come to this months dinner, but wont put my name on the list, for more than obvious reasons. Next month or November I will be out and will force myself to come!!!:smiliedance: (Mine or Babys health permitting).

I am so sorry to disappear without a trace in June. Ive missed the friendly banter on this group.:thumbsup:

:0)
Jade.

[Pink73]

Great idea mum23girls!

Can't wait... it will be a fun night! :smiliedance:
I am coming from Bellbowrie and would be happy to give anyone a lift that is on the way (kenmore,Indooroopilly,towong,and anywhere in between.)

Hi Naomi,

I'd love to take you up on your offer, I've pm'd you :)

[squiglet]

I can't wait to meet the bub hub girls too!:yelclap:
Poor dh is sick of hearing about it now:rolleyes:

[~V&M~]

Hello ladies, i am interested in coming. I am just wondering if dp's and kids can come?

Yeah I was wondering about this too :confused:

[TJ]

I dont mind if they come - im not sure what the 'rules' are, i have only ever been to brunch's before never a dinner, partners havent come to the ones i have been to!

:confused:

any other takers?

I think it depends on how old the kids are. I have bought my DS to the last one as he is only 3 months old and relies on the boob for his feeds. I know Veve has bought her little man a couple of times but he is a young one too.

[TJ]

OK table is booked under the name of BUBHUB
seeing as its a pretty big place, might be best to ask a staff member where the table is, either that walk around until you see a group of ladies and a few littlies....

i have booked it for 20 just in case a few more definitly come

THANKS!

Just checking, but dinner is on the 26th right? (got the dates mixed up on the calendar:rolleyes: )

I am not bringing dh:D He will be ok without me though. He has a birthday party to go to that night.

[filmgirlgail]

Hi

Please put put my name down as coming so that you book to include me, but I'll just have to see how I feel on the night as I will be 37 weeks pregnant that day :yes: but at least I'll be closer to the Wesley if anything happens :D but I would like to meet up with you before I have bubba #2

I'm kind of interested but I think it's maybe a bit early for me..maybe I'll go to the next one.. I'm only very tiny pregnant and I don't think I know you all well enough yet.. feel like too much of a n00bie.. maybe next months.. :thumbsup:

[TJ]

:laughing: haha Dont feel like a Noobie!!
You're more than welcome to come along!!

Im not pregnant or even a mum just yet so dont feel weird because of that!

[SassyMummy]

Add me to your list please!

Just got confirmation from my mother that she can watch DD. DP's going to the footy that night, so maybe I can drink a little bit...and he can drive me home. lol.

(I don't drive...I'd just have to use public transport...and I'd rather not be a little p*ssed when doing that...).

Does anyone know what time is starts (I'll check the thread to make sure it's not in there already...)...and does anyone know what train station is closest?

[dragonflyblu]

Hi Ladies

I'm going to have to say no to tomorrow night, although I will keep my eye on this site for further meetings. Just as I am getting Braxton Hicks every day and they get worse in the evening and I'm usually in bed watching telly or reading at 8-8:30!

[westendmum]

Hi Tara Jane

Sorry but my babysitter has cancelled so wont be able to make it to dinner.
Have fun

[ButterflyMama]

I've been sick with M/S all week.. love to make it to the next meet, though. :) Have fun everyone!

[squiglet]

I'm feeling a bit under the weather, and tired too............

But there is no way I'm missing the bub hub dinner, will be dragging my sorry bum down there no matter what.
So see all you girls soon:wave:

[TJ]

Sorry to hear that some of you cant make it!

And i cant wait to see the rest of you shortly!!!

[TJ]

Well I've just come home from the dinner, and it was great to see you all there!!

Shae(Mum21princess) & Belinda(Gribel) sure know how to knock back a few glasses of bubbly!
Speaking of glasses Stacey (Sassymummy) sure knows how to break them;)

Nick-O-Less has gone to a fantastic home for the next month to Chrissy (chrissydec06) however he is going to need a band aid or 2 after the "accident" on the way to the dinner........ :eek: he fell off the back seat, and he broke away from his 'stand' he himself is in tact tho - thank god!!! (Chrissy - it can be our secret as to how you won to gnome)

SO Chrissy, good luck planning the next meet!
Cant wait to meet you all there!

[Gribel]

Hi tara-jane

thanks for organizing a great night out - and I had to drink so I could keep up with shae ......

can't wait for the next meet


Belinda

[TrulyBlessed]

Thanks for a great night ladies. Sorry that my little man was a bit grizzly at the start. He's in bed now fast asleep. Hmmm that seems like a good idea. I might do the same. Looking forward to the next one. See you all then.

[veve]

Nick-O-Less has gone to a fantastic home for the next month to Chrissy (chrissydec06) however he is going to need a band aid or 2 after the "accident" on the way to the dinner........ :eek: he fell off the back seat, and he broke away from his 'stand' he himself is in tact tho - thank god!!!

oooh .. I got a fright .. you are lucky he is repairable!!! shee wizz ... I miss a dinner and all hell breaks loose!!!! Nick-o-less is a bubhub tradition... take good care of him chrissy!!!

xxx

[TJ]

:eek: You got a fright??? I nearly wet myself when i heard it go clunk off the backseat, i was scared to open his box for the fear that he would have lost his head:o
He should of had his seat belt on :shame:

[dragonflyblu]

HI girls,

I am sorry I missed it. My DH came home from work at 6pm with 2 couples that he works with and a half a salmon! So we had an impromtu dinner party at our house. My sweet DH had forgotten that I was going out and decided to surprise me. How could I get mad? Anyway, sounds like you had a great night and hopefully I will make the next one.:wave:

[mum23girls]

Thanks Ladies!! I had a blast..........see you at the next one!!:thumbsup:

[SassyMummy]

lol...we should have put the broken glass in the box with Nick-o-Less! :laughing:

I had a great time too...and will definately be coming next time.

Don't worry about your grizzly little boy Amy...he was so cute! I actually loved the pout he did before he started to cry (DD used to do it when she was younger...but she never does anymore...I miss that cute pout!).

[TJ]

hah Amy dont worry - he only cried when Gribel pinched him!!

haha the broken glass would have gone well with broken Nik-o-Less:o

[Gribel]

hah Amy dont worry - he only cried when Gribel pinched him!!


Nooooooo - you all got it wrong - he pulled the lip when Anne-marie started cooing at him :laughing:

He loves me:D

[TrulyBlessed]

Nooooooo - you all got it wrong - he pulled the lip when Anne-marie started cooing at him :laughing:

He loves me:D

LOL. I think Declan would be impressed if he knew he had grown women talking about him. :D hehe.

[TJ]

Nooooooo - you all got it wrong - he pulled the lip when Anne-marie started cooing at him :laughing:

He loves me:D


Sorry my bad - i got confused coz you swapped seats!!

Hows the head treating you now?

[belinda]

i had a great time to girls was great to meet you all.

[TJ]

How come this isnt a sticky anymore?? :confused:

[drewid]

I took it off sticky because the August dinner has been and gone, and there is a new thread for the September dinner :)

[TJ]

makes perfect sense, just wondered why the rest were there, but i see they are 'unstuck' as well. i was clicking on the wrong thread all the time coz i didnt realise it had been changed.

[filmgirlgail]

Hi

Looks like I made a good call by saying I wouldn't come as Alexander decided to arrive that day!! He decided not to wait and came 3 weeks early. He was born by c-section at 00:18 on Saturday August 26th weighing 6lbs 7oz. He was in special care for a few days whilst his lungs cleared themselves, but he was then discharged to my care and we came home today. He is currently asleep on me so I'll keep this brief.

[Gribel]

:smiliedance: Congratulations!!!:smiliedance:
