Catch-up Time!!!

[Gandalf]

Ok since the last Meet up fell through, maybe its time to start organising another one? Before school starts again.

I think if we do a 'central' meet up would be nice - near the CBD that way we can meet people from all around.

I'd love to hear some suggestions for When and Where - but the final decision will be posted somewhere else, or PM'd to everyone, just for privacy sake :yes:
So i hope we get a few responses, it'd be lovely to see older members again, and to meet some of the newer members :highfive:

I have no life so basically any day for the next few weeks suits me :laughing:

[JustShiney]

Count me in. Anywhere, anytime is fine with me :)

[Dreambeliever]

im up for a meet :wave:

any day should be ok...depending on the day i will have one or two kids

im fairly new to south australia and live north so i have no ideas where to meet up :D sorry, not very helpful

[Gandalf]

Ok cool. As far as i know this thread is being sent to hopefully a few adelaide bubhubers on facebook ( i sent it to a few friends and asked them to pass it forward :p).

There are a few really nice parks around north adelaide and the surrounding suburbs. Most of which are fenced in (a big plus), but if we can agree on a date then i'd keep the time and place off the public forum b/c there is always the risk that scary people read these forums :eek:;)

I'm free anytime as well :hyper:

The next week or fortnight would be nice though i think. especially since school starts next week :eek::freakingout:

[jayra]

I havent been on here in ages n have revently moved to the country so cant really make it to any city catch ups unless im already down that way as its like a 2 and a half hr drive for both my self n my ds r thir any other mums out their in the same boat?

[wehe]

Im keen, for a fenced park, especially as i will have all 4 with me! Only prob is that monday is tha only day i could really do it, and that might be a bit too late with notice. Let me no either way :)

[MothersMilk]

I'm in - i'm pretty flexible with days/times.
I think the fenced park is an excellent idea :yes:

[MrsLozza]

Count me in! Fenced park idea is great. I have crazy working hours so just organise it and if I'm not rostered on to work or at placement I will be in like flynn :)

[AmberMama]

Would love to, however working full time = only weekends for me :(

[laylasmumma23]

Im in the same boat as AmberMama I work fulltime :(
I would looove to come and see all the new bubs and bumps:yes:

Its been waaaaaay to long girls, but only weekends work for me *sigh*

p.s Esther those pink organising undies look much better on you :p

[Gandalf]

p.s Esther those pink organising undies look much better on you :p
i know the undies look awesome on me ;):p but when i wear them no one shows up to appreciate the view :no:

How many people could do this weekend? Saturday or Sunday maybe?
or should we do two meets - one for working mums and one for sahm's? ;)

[MothersMilk]

I'd rather not this weekend as the weather is 36 on Sat and 41 :eek: on Sun. A bit too high for an outdoor thing (or is it just me).

[Gandalf]

:eek: well that'll teach me to offer a suggestion without checking the temperatures first.

(although maybe we could do a pool thing? :p the aquatic centres nice and central! :laughing: or Ikea - mm mm, blissfully air-conditioned Ikea :laughing:)

[fireflies4]

Nah this weekend is bad cause school goes back next week.

The following weekend suits me fine. I have both kids then as well.

5th or 6th Feb. If its to hot outside maybe do it inside?

[MothersMilk]

Next weekend would great for me (Sat is better but Sunday is okay too). Indoors if it is a really hot day would be good - love the idea of swimming but kinda hard for me as i'll have my 2 year old and 9 month to look after, not sure i could organise that with water (gosh i'm difficult aren't i :o sorry) Ikea would be good or the original park idea if it is a nice day. :D

[wehe]

Im keen for next sat too (i work on sundays) :)

[fireflies4]

Next Saturday is good for me.

[Gandalf]

Next Saturday Works for me too :cheerleader1:

So the 5th. Do we want to see what the weather report looks like before we decide where? I can pm everyone maybe this sunday?

[AmberMama]

Saturday is fantastic for us! Happy to do pool, Ikea, park, whatever suits everyone else. :)

[MrsLozza]

Saturday works for me too. My LO sleeps from 10-12 in the morning so after lunch would suit me better, although am happy to work around other people!

[fireflies4]

Morning is better for us. DD has an optical appt at 4pm at munno para.

[wehe]

Happy to work around other too :)

[Gandalf]

Do we maybe want to do over a time period? maybe if we did from 11-3 (just suggestion - real times will be pm'd. trying to be internet safe ;) hehe). I'm happy to be the person to sit there for a few hours in case some people can only make it for a certain period of time.

And if its anything like this weekend then i really like the idea of the aquatic centre :p

[fireflies4]

aquatic centre 11-3 sounds good

[AmberMama]

Anyone know how much approx the aquatic centre costs? Am on phone which makes it a pain to browse.

[Gandalf]

Anyone know how much approx the aquatic centre costs? Am on phone which makes it a pain to browse.
Adults $ 7.10 Children under 3 Free Aged / Permanent Disability & Children* $ 5.40 Health Care Card Holders & F/Time Tertiary Student $ 6.00Spectators must pay normal entry fee.

i actually thought that parents who weren't going swimming didn't have to pay :( at least that's what happens when swimming lessons are on.

But hopefully that's an ok cost for people?
Otherwise the playground outside the aquatic centre is actually really nice and there's a lot of shade next to it :goodvibes:

[AmberMama]

That cost is fine with me, not going to speak for others though! I'm curious as to what the aquatic centre is like with a little one as I don't think I've been there since I was about 10, lol.

[MothersMilk]

Sounds good to me :yes:

[laylasmumma23]

Im hot and cant be bothered looking back at pages..did we decide on a day? LOL!

Im going to sydney from the 8th-13th so im out if thats the case! Im hanging out for my holiday child and DP free..call me selfiish but OMG i desperately need it :)

But have an awesome time girlies :) definately wait for a cooler day!
Im sure someone can be the snap happy weirdo in my place HAHAHAHAH!!

[MothersMilk]

Is this going ahead?

[Benji]

Aquatic Centre Saturday? I won't have DS :(

I don't think it's going to be sweltering hot this weekend. Only during the week while I'm stuck in this boiling office with no airco and can't get to the beach :freakingout::headdesk:

[MothersMilk]

The weather is mid 20's (and possible rain) so not sure what everyone wants to do? or if anyone is still interested?
I'm not too fussed but i'd like to know soon so that i can make other plans if this meet is not happening :o

[Gandalf]

I'm definitely still in :yes: but we can just do the park outside the aquatic centre instead? its a fun playground? if its not going to be so hot then its ok if the kids run around during the middle of the day :goodvibes:

[MothersMilk]

I'm fine to do the park instead, it is fenced off right? (DD1 is a runner ;))

[Gandalf]

I'm fine to do the park instead, it is fenced off right? (DD1 is a runner ;))
:laughing: DEFINITELY!!!
its not shaded - but there are a few shaded areas and a few trees etc within the fenced in area :thumbsup:

If we agree to meet up under the little roof area roughly in the middle? I will be the young person who will try and find my bubhub ribbon so that people aren't wandering around looking lost ;)

[MothersMilk]

Sounds good.
Should we wait to see who else is coming then send out PM's with the time? I am flexible with times so am happy to work around others.
No doubt i will be wandering around like a lost duck but i should be easy to spot as i'll have a baby in a mei tai and a 2 year old with me.

[AmberMama]

Fine with the park! I'm the *cough* voluptuous one with the toddler and her beloved green hat, lol. Just let me know the time :)

[wehe]

Yep, im still in too : ) But i will need directions to this Aquatic centre..

[Gandalf]

Yep, im still in too : ) But i will need directions to this Aquatic centre..
didn't i spend like an hour trying to direct you last time? :p

but yes, i will msg you on facebook specially.
about to pm everyone. i'm a bit behind this week - so sorry everyone :no:

[laylasmumma23]

Oh poop :( I should really log into bubhub more often lol
I hope everyone had a good time! would have been a nice excuse to get out of doing the housework and mass piles of washing and folding..*sigh*

Oh well definately count me in for the next one :)

:laughing: Its ok, i think that happened with a lot of people.



And Mother'smilk, i'm So sorry we missed you, i have no idea how that happened. i knew we were running a few min late (baby decided to faceplant in water as we were leaving the house :freakingout:) but i didn't think we were that late :no: but we'll definitely try and catch up at some stage? :fingerscrossed:

I'm thinking we might do another one end of feb? Let me know if there's any interest for end of feb (i go back to uni in march and don't know if i'll have the time or energy to organise meets :p so i'll try once more, since i actually did get to meet someone today :p and then get someone else to help/do any future ones :cheerleader2:).

:D hope you're all doing well!!!

[MothersMilk]

Don't apologise, it was my fault. I arrived too early and it was a bit of a disaster. :freakingout: I was getting very stressed out with chasing DD1 while carrying a heavy baby and bag, then DD threw a massive tantrum and so i went stuff it and left - i thought it was about 20 past but i could easy be wrong. :o

I would be interested in trying again.

[Dreambeliever]

bugger it! the one time i dont log in for a few days and i miss a meet! figures lol

im up for the next one though. :yes:

[Gandalf]

I'm just gonna make a random date/time for the end of feb and pm everyone who has expressed interested 2 weeks in advance this time (and 1 week and maybe 2 days :laughing::rolleyes:).

and dreambeliever, your pm box is full :p i'll send you the message on facebook though!

[jayra]

hey ive been on this site once b4 but that was 3 yrs ago when i had my ds im now expecting bubba number 2 and would love to meet/make new friends as im home most of the time and get really bored :yes:

[JustShiney]

I'm ready for a catch-up :)
Anyone want to offer up date & location suggestions??
I'd suggest Gloria Jeans @ Harbourtown (it has a big playground) around the end of Feb (a Saturday morning maybe?)

[Arusaamatus]

if you guys are happy with newbies I'd love to meet other mums! I don't kow very many

[Lil Bugs Mummy]

Hi pm please when you have a catchup time and i will try and make it too

[AmberMama]

+1 for weekend, Gloria Jean's, and yay newbies!

[spideysmummy]

I'm in! Dh works weekends and while im struggling with morning sickness I don't get out with ds much. He's only (almost) 10 months old but he looooves other kids :)


Mummy & Daddy - expanding our family! Our little man born April 2011 and now expecting another munchkin in August 2012! Loving it!!!!! :D

[Gandalf]

I'm free most weekends. Although I'd prefer one where I've only got the middle child :P (so this one, or the one two weeks later) :-)

I'm in! And I'll make amber mama drive me *evil grin*

[JustShiney]

Ok so...

Gandalf - that means we're looking at the 18th or 19th (is that right?)
Spidey - the Gloria Jeans has seating out in the fresh air and is adjacent to the loos ;)
Arusaamatus - newbies are always very welcome! We'd love to meet you!
Lil bugs - do you have any particular times or dates to work around?

Now, Harbourtown is pretty busy on the weekends of course, so i'd suggest our best bet of getting enough seating together would be to meet for breakfast or early brunch on the Sunday (?)
So would Sunday 19th Feb @ about 9:30ish suit most people??

[Arusaamatus]

I should be able to manage that - I usually catch the bus but if there aren't enough running at the time then I'll just make hubby take me :p

[spideysmummy]

It's our 1st wedding anniversary! But dh will be working anyway, so should be fine with me :)


Mummy & Daddy - expanding our family! Our little man born April 2011 and now expecting another munchkin in August 2012! Loving it!!!!! :D

[JustShiney]

Aww! Well if hubby is away, then all the more reason to get out of the house and come have a fun morning out with us! We'll help you celebrate :) Happy anniversary :)

Hey, another newbie here! No kids as yet, but I'm 9 weeks and I guess a little over enthusiastic about finding other mums :D nice to find an Adelaide meet up group - I don't know many mums here, still fairly new to Australia so hopefully I'll be able to come to a catch up at some point if that's ok? :)

Absolutely! The more the merrier :)
Where have you come from? And what part of Adelaide are you in?
I'm in the western suburbs but only moved here from Melbourne a year ago.

Thanks ladies :)

Sorry it's taken so long to reply - pretty much been working and sleeping! XD

spideysmummy

Yes, I'm due early September so great to hear from you! Let's hope everyone's at least semi-sane hey ;)

JustShiney

I moved here about 18 months ago from the uk, I have made a few freinds here but work from home so it's a bit tricky! I'm in the northern suburbs

Looking forward to meeting everyone when I have a bit more energy! :)

[happy2bmum]

Hi guys,

I am happy to see an Adelaide catch up - I would love to come but unfortunately it is DDs birthday party on Sunday so I can't.
I would love to come another time though - I will keep an eye out for the next catch up.

[nomes83]

I live in the country but come down fairly often for work and to see my family. Unfortunately I'll be in Adelaide either side of the meet-up this time but I'm sure dates will work in the future.

[JustShiney]

Well i'd be happy to see this become a regular monthly thing.
Perhaps have it on a saturday next time. Would anyone prefer a weekday meetup at some stage in the future?

[Gandalf]

I'm not sure I can make monthly meets but I'm a shift worker lol

Maybe you could alternate weekend/weekdays to make sure everyone gets an opportunity to come. (since there are a few members who work full time and others, like myself...who seem to be getting lots of Saturday/Sunday work :S lol)

[nomes83]

I'd be happy for an optional monthly meet-up, with a whoever can make it comes vibe. Not fussed what day it is as I'm in Adelaide on different days. Possibly it is good to have different days in rotation so that the same ppl don't miss out?

[happy2bmum]

A monthly meet up sounds great to me. I am free during the week mostly but can also do weekends but I agree that changing the day around is a good idea to allow as many people to come.
Maybe we can meet in a playground one time? I guess it would be good to let the kids have a bit of a run around.

All sounds good to me. I can't make it this weekend :(

Stupid me forgot ds is having a sleepover at his grandma's (so we can have some alone time for our anniversary!!) so I have to pick him up at 10 from south. Then visit my grandpa!!

Next time hopefully :)

[AmberMama]

Just so everyone is aware, the meet is postponed tomorrow until further notice due to real life getting in the way for everyone!
