Hi Lisa

I just arrived to Brisbane from Ireland last Friday and am just finding my feet and thought what the hell, get out there and find some new friends!!! We (me 37, hubby 36 and baby girl 17 mths) are living in Cleveland which is not too far away from Manly. Would love to meet up with you for a chat and a cuppa if you fancy it?

Would love to meet for a coffee, What days suit you? Fridays are good for me.
So where abouts are you from?. Im from Galway.
You must be still settling in, How are you liking Brisbane?

Hi Lisa

We're from Wicklow originally. Yeah still trying to get over the jetlag to be honest even at this stage! Meeting up would be great but this Friday out for me unfortunately as we have to give back our hire car and I also have to take Ellie May to the hospital to have some stitches taken out!! Long story, will fill you in when we meet!! Any other day bar Tuesday is ok for me though but if you want to leave it til the following week that's ok too!

Sorry Tina, I've had 2 sick boys this week so things have been a bit hectic. Next Fri is great for me. Im free from 9am onwards. Callum is at montesorri that day so I'll just have Aaron with me.

Hi I'm from the Uk & living in Manly. Would like to meet up with mums from back home. I have a 9 month old boy.

Hey Marmite

Sorry for delay in response but haven't been on here for a while. How long have you been over here? We've been here 3 months now in Cleveland but love heading to Manly most weekends! We could arrange to meet for a coffee some day next week if you fancy it?

Hey Marmite,
Would love to meet up some time. I live at Tingalpa so very close to Manly. I have 2 boys, my youngest is 10mths, close in age to your boy. Myself and Tina meet up regularly so we could arrange to meet next week some time if you're up for it

[marmite]

Hi. Thanks for getting on touch. Sorry I have just had my internet reconnected so only just read replies. Yes am free to meet up next week for coffee. Let me know what day suits.

[Elliemaysmama]

Hey Marmite, good to hear from you. There is a small group of us meeting up on Thursday next week. Will pm you the details! Tina

Hello Mums,
Shall we organise that coffee in a couple of weeks? Am so busy at the moment with birthday celebrations.. My little boy turns 1 next week. Also yes please add me to the group when you get a chance. I'll also try looking for it on FB.

hi, my name is mary. new to this forum so not quite sure what im doing! Moved from Kerry to Brisbane 3 weeks ago. Would love to meet up with other irish mums and just get to know few people. have 4 young kids so could do with some adult company (besides hubby of course!) Living near morayfield at the moment, anyone near here?:):

[Elliemaysmama]

Hi Mary

Welcome to Brisvegas!! Morayfield is about an hour and a bit drive from where I am in Victoria Point which is Brisbane East Bayside. Have you looked for some Bub Hub Groups closer to sunshine coast area which would be easier for you??? Here's one I've found.... http://www.bubhub.com.au/community/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=585

This may to a lot easier for you to get to than down to us here!!

Best of luck with the new move, it gets easier believe me!!

Tina
