Hi there, I live in Mitchelton. Keen to meet up with people in the area. I am at home with my 3 month old boy. We've survived the newborn craziness and I'd be keen to meet other mums in the area.

hey all mitchelton mums

there is a playgroup at 22 Hoben St, Mitchelton at the Picabeen community centre on fridays from 10-12 for those that are interested in going. I'm going to investigate it this week if anyone else would like to come. Currently its just Leebies and I.

cheers

[XTR]

Howdy.
I've got a 3.5 month old son.
Does anyone meet on a regular basis?
Izzysmum - how was playgroup?

[Rose&Aurelia]

hey XTR

playgroup was good. it was nice to meet some other mums. Leebies and I were there along with some other mums with bubbies around the same age as yours. Why not come tomorrow?

:)

[XTR]

I am keen, but I have boot camp fitness on Friday mornings at the same time. It finishes in 2 weeks so I could come on the 19th
Is it a structured group where someone teaches / provides info? Or more a casual catch up?

[Rose&Aurelia]

hey xtr

its pretty casual. but i go to a playgroup on mondays in enoggera thats a little more structured. they start as general play, then art (painting/drawing) then morning tea (every parent for a child thats eating solids brings one piece of fruit and there is a roster of who cuts and divides them up). its then followef by more play and ends in singing nursery rhymes. thats what happened when i went last week.

[leebies]

Hi xtr, my son is 3 1/2 months old too!
I've met Izzys Mummy a couple of times now at the Mitchelton playgroup and also at 'Babies, Books and Rhymes' at Grange library. Havent been to the playgroup at Enoggera that Izzys Mummy goes to.
If you want, happy to catch up another time for coffee too :) take care

[XTR]

Thanks for the info Izzysmum.
Leebies I'm at ferny grove. Always keen for coffee :)

[leebies]

Hi everyone,
I'm not going to playgroup at Enoggera this week. I'm finding poor Leo and I have such a busy weekend that I like to try to get some semblance of order back on Monday mornings!
But I will be at storytelling at Grange library on Thursday and Mitchie playgroup on Friday.
XTR I've sent you a private message re catching up.

[Blue Jellybean]

Hi,

I am looking for a playgroup/mothers group on a Friday. I have a 2 yr old and a 11 week old daughter. My 2 yr old daughter goes to daycare on a friday so looking for something for me and my bubba to do on a friday. Anyone know of anything or keen for catch up?

Also have read that some of you go to a playgroup in Enoggera on a Monday. Is this the one at the baptist church on samford rd and Hawthorne st?

Michelle

[Rose&Aurelia]

hey michelle

yea i go to the playgroup on the corner of hawthorne and samford on mondays. i really like the mums there. i've dropped the friday one and instead go to a mums and bubs movie.

hope you are having a good day

:)

[Blue Jellybean]

Thanks for the reply. Do I have to let them know I am coming or just turn up?

:)

[Rose&Aurelia]

Hey Blue Jellybean

Just turn up. I'm away for the next two weeks but will be back 13th dec. $4 per session.

[sweetums89]

Just thought Id come in and say hi and a quick intro. Im Melanie, I live at Gaythorne, am 21, and have DS is 2yrs 4months, and DD is 2 weeks tomorrow.

[leebies]

Hi sweetums, how are you going with the new baby? Congratulations! :smiliedance:

I live at Mitchelton and have a 4 month old son. I'm coming out of the newborn fog.

Hope you're managing OK with another little one in the house.

[sweetums89]

Hey leebies, could be better with the new bubs. The last so many nights she wakes when I just so happen to be going to bed, and then she wont settle or go to sleep til god knows what hr in the morning, hence why Im up at this time now.:sleeping: I was hoping to be in bed 5hrs ago, but noooo, another night of sleep deprivation for me.:( I would've napped today but had to go out for bubs hearing test, and then tomorrow have DP's brother and SIL coming around, only found out tonight mind you.:mad: My first was never like this, he was a great sleeper, so Im not use to being so sleep deprived, feel like Im a walking zombie at the moment. Oh well, thats the joys of parenthood for you :laughing:

[sweetums89]

Ok, well had the CHN come over today and suggest playgroups and whatnot, so am considering this while Piccabeen thing, seen as tho some of the girls on this thread are going and it sounds nice, so might see how the weather is this friday, if its raining walking is not an option. walking with a pram with a newborn and toddler might be an issue. if not then i hope i can next friday.

[Blue Jellybean]

Hi sweetums
If u ever want to catch up let me know :) I have a 14 week dd and 2 year old dd. Free most days. Dd 2 goes to daycare on a Friday.

[sweetums89]

Blue Jellybean - I would most definitely like to catch up sometime :), I need more mummy friends, only have a few and none of them live particularly close.

[Sabbey]

Hi Sweetums,

I don't live close, but I'm a member of a group on meetup.com that meets at Everton Park Hotel regularly if you wanted to join in? You can send me an email (ms_delirium@hotmail.com) and I'll send you a link if you are interested.
Cheers,
Sabina

[Blue Jellybean]

Sorry Sweetums I have been off line for a while with christmas and holidays. Any way let me know when you are free for a catch up.

I was thinking we could have our first meet up at my house.

I have joined playgroups before but Misss 2 is extremely shy and just clings to me so I thought she might be more comfortable meeting new people in her own home. Any day is good except friday. I hope you had a great christmas.

If anyone else is keen to join us just let us know. The more the merrier :)

[sweetums89]

Sounds great, Im free pretty much everyday. So I guess all we gotta do is organize a day.

[Rose&Aurelia]

i'm pretty free on thurs in general. did you want to start this week?

[Blue Jellybean]

I cant do this Thurs. Can we start next thurs?

[mestiza]

How many people from Mitchelton are on these forums ???

[sweetums89]

Hey, Blue Jellybean, just been flat out busy lately, too much to type atm, still want to catch up?

[sweetums89]

Whose going to Picabeen this Friday. Im planning on taking 2.5yo DS and don't want to show up not knowing anyone. So if anyone is going please let me know.

[XTR]

What's picabeen?

[sweetums89]

Its a playgroup at Mitchelton, from 10am-12pm on Fridays

[Rose&Aurelia]

i dont go to that playgroup any more cos i go to the mitchelton library at 10.30 then i head to work usually on a fri afternoon. im currently looking for something to do with my bub on a semi-regular basis wed/thurs.
