August Mums in Brisbane/Gold Coast

[deb1234]

hello all you lovely august mums...

hayley (hayles07) & i have decided its about time all us in Brisbane/Gold Coast meet up for a chat. I think we should have it somewhere close to the city so that you can come from the northern suburbs as well if you live up there somewhere.

If your DHs/DPs are interested as well that would be great, we could make it a dinner or something. :yes:

Let me know if you want to come :)

[hayles07]

Thanks for making this thread - I think its a great idea! :D

I know there is more than just you and I in the Brisbane/Gold Coast area - But it'd be interesting to see exactly how many....

I think dinner or something along those lines sounds great and partners is perhaps a good idea as well..... :)

Let's see what all you other girls think.....

[deb1234]

woohoo i've got one friend :) was getting a bit worried there....haha. anyone else want to join us? :D

[hayles07]

doesnt look like anyone wants to join us just yet.... :D

[imisschampagne]

Hey girls, im Nicci, i'm keen to meet up, i kno DH would be up for it 2, i live on the northside bout 20mins from the city so that would b great!!

[hayles07]

Hey Nicci!

Sounds great - One more person to come along, yay! So far I think all of our DH/DP are up for it too! :D

[deb1234]

sounds good! i'm in nz next week then mum is coming to stay the following week, then my DH is away....so what about some time the last week of april or first week of may? dinner in town somewhere? :)

[hayles07]

I'm pretty much free anytime - Though I am going away the first weekend of may, which I think is the 5th? I'm sure it shouldnt be too hard to work out a time when everyone is free... :D And hopefully by then, there will be more of us! :smiliedance:

[imisschampagne]

Yep sounds great, weekend of april 21/22 would be great or sat night 28/4, weekend 5/6 may is out for us. DHs work schedule sucks...

[alena]

hi girls

i'm in brissie too - mt gravatt/wishart right now but funnily enough moving into our new home the week of the 23rd april.

we will probly be busy packing and unpacking those weekends, but i'm sure DH and i can tear ourselves away for dinner :yelclap:

would certainly be good to meet some other parents-to-be from the area.

alena

[imisschampagne]

hey girls just found out 21/4 is out for me 'family thing' but 28th is still good...

[deb1234]

hey alena :wave:

21/4 is out for me anyway because my DH is in nz.
Shall we make plans for the 28/4?

we should probably pm each other exact details since there could be some scary lurkers around here!! :yes:

anyone know a good restaurant in the city? :yelclap:

[hayles07]

Hey Girls....

28/4 sounds pretty good to me - I will make sure I keep it free... That's 2 days before my 21st lol.. Gee I'm getting so old... :D

I cant think of any good places to go in the city, but you girls have a think - And yes, I agree deb. Itd be best to PM each other with the details.. Just to be on the safe side... :thumbsup:

[deb1234]

haha hayley, yes you are getting old! :laughing:
i hope you can make it to dinner and your hip doesn't give out on the way :D

[hayles07]

I should be able to make it, even if I have to hobble the whole way :laughing:
Now wouldn't that be a sight!! :D

[imisschampagne]

Haley - That's 2 days before my 21st lol.. Gee I'm getting so old...

[Amused]

Hey All,

I'm also an August mummy and am interested in tagging along. Could you please PM me the details?

I can't commit to anything though at the moment (sorry to be a pain) - it is too far away and I'm not sure if I will be interstate or have family up because it is very close to DS's 1st birthday!

Thanks:thumbsup:

[deb1234]

ok, so are we still on for this saturday night?
if anyone knows of a good restaurant can you please pm everyone? :) i'm up for most kinds of restaurants but love italian :yelclap:

[hayles07]

Damn! I completely forgot :eek:

DP was going to take me out for my birthday..... Will have a talk to him and get back to you...... How could I have forgotten :laughing:

[deb1234]

maybe we could do saturday brunch instead?

[imisschampagne]

Damn! I completely forgot :eek:

DP was going to take me out for my birthday..... Will have a talk to him and get back to you...... How could I have forgotten :laughing:

:laughing: mmm, a severe case of pregnancy brain i presume:laughing:

[imisschampagne]

i'm still up for dinner...not sure of any good spots in the city the only one i know is a super expensive one called pier 9, but it's pretty much seafood, so i suggest we steer clear of that one...plus we r on a ' we're having a baby this year, cant spend a fortune, budget' i will ask DH again if he knows somewhere nice, but not OTT.

[imisschampagne]

Hi girls, do u want to re-schedule for sometime mid-late may, give us all a little more time...im having a really busy week.

[hayles07]

Yeah, good idea perhaps...... And yes, my pregnancy brain forgot... :laughing: So much to think about.. We are heading away next weekend... So anytime after that would be good! :thumbsup:

[YummyMummy1]

I live on the gold coast but dont get to travel up to bris much anyone on the coast? the beach is still nice this time of year

[deb1234]

I live in the middle of Brisbane & Surfers (Ormeau) so can go either way. :)

[hayles07]

I live in the middle of Brisbane & Surfers (Ormeau) so can go either way. :)

Me too! :yes:

[deb1234]

can you still do sat night hayley? maybe we could make it at the hyperdome (exit 28)? not too far south for those brisbane people and plenty of restaurants to choose from. :) someone needs to make a decision here!! :laughing:

[hayles07]

Its up to you Deb... I'm more for having it in mid May, but by then we'll just be getting bigger and bigger :laughing: Not that it matters... Hopefully I'll be able to still fit through the doors!

I have a pretty big Saturday.. Mum is working so has asked Mark and I if we will take my little brother to football - Hes only 8 and its ever so cute to watch! Hes the champion of the team :yes: I guess thats what happens when your older brother is a football coach....

Saturday afternoon, I'm meeting a friend for coffee. I haven't seen her in years and then Sat night, we are meant to be going out for dinner....

[LiciaSings]

Hi :wave:
I live on the pretty far northside of Brissy, and just found this thread. Can't believe I didn't realise it was here! anyway, if you girls do look at doing something mid-May sometime on a weekend, I'd be interested. I could go into the city or even the south side, no worries. Don't know if I'd go all the way to the gold coast (I'm sortof 1/2way btwn brissy & sunshine).
Really busy this weekend too, but do keep me in mind if you get together later, I'd love to meet a bunch of you ladies!

[hayles07]

This Saturday night is out for me.... We have such a busy weekend ahead... But I am all for mid May if we want to organise something for then :yes:

[alena]

hi ladies

yeah this saturday is out for us too, mid may is sounding good (although that isn't too far away now, we better get ourselves organised!)

i was going to suggest the continental cafe in new farm, good for dinner, lunch/brunch or brekkie and they have a reasonably priced menu with a good range. we have been going there for years... it's right in town, so good for people coming from north or south, and i know if you book in advance they can usually fit big groups in - sounds like we might have a few coming along, espec with partners etc. i had my hen's night dinner there and they gave us a private room and limited menu with a set price which was really good, i think there were around 20 of us there... the breakfasts are particularly good - great range.

anyway DH and i are still up to do something :)

how about saturday 19th or sunday 20th for dinner or brunch?

[deb1234]

It seems there aren't many people who can go tomorrow night so i say we postpone until mid May. Only problem is my DH is away so the earliest we could come would be Sat 26th May. How does this suit everyone? :) I'll be 30.5 weeks! :eek: So look out for a big fatty!!

Add your name to the list below if you want to come so we can be organised! :D

1 Deb & Chris



Whoops posted at the same time as you alena. i can't do 19/20th sorry...hopefully people can do the 26th/27th? I'm up for brunch :)

Hi ladies
I have just booked in for an ABA workshop on Sat 26th 10-3pm so can probably only make it in the afternoon or evening. Is anyone else going to this workshop - it's at Logan Hospital.

[deb1234]

i haven't read up on all the millions of pamphlets they gave me at the hosp...so didn't know about it. but sounds good. might see you there :D
we can make it dinner on the 26th. :)

[OJandMe]

Oh me me! *puts hand up*

I want to come :yes:

What are we doing? When is it?? It will probably be just me as I'll leave DH with the boys so I can have some time out.

What are we doing?? :D

[alena]

i haven't read up on all the millions of pamphlets they gave me at the hosp...so didn't know about it. but sounds good. might see you there :D

cheers deb :thumbsup: i think i found the info on their website. there are still a few places left... i think :)

[alena]

How about brunch on Sun 27th? I loooove going out for brekkie/brunch....:yes:

[deb1234]

Yep Sunday brunch is good for me :)

[hayles07]

Yep! Should be good for me too :thumbsup:

[OJandMe]

Sounds nice.

Where abouts??

[deb1234]

Gretel...as if we are that organised!! :laughing:
we've got a date, that's a good start i think! :thumbsup:

[shorty_851]

Anyone in here from Thw wynnum area

[imisschampagne]

Ok gals, are we still on for Dinner on the 26th?
If so we need to get it organised now before we forget again:yes:
Southbank could be an option...:confused:

[alena]

Can't do dinner on 26th - family thing - what about brekkie/brunch on sunday 27th?:fingerscrossed:

[hayles07]

Im going to be a pain in the butt and say that both the 26th and 27th are out for me - But you girls can still organise something..

My brother comes down on Wednesday for a week, and then my sister and nephew come down on Thursday - My sister and my mum are going to the Pink concert... So its going to be busy, busy, busy for me next weekend... I don't get to see my family all that often, so I'd better not make other arrangements...

Sorry girls....

[deb1234]

Brunch on Sunday 27th sounds good :)

[alena]

So who do we have still coming? Last count was:

1 Deb & Chris
2 Alena & Chris
3 Hayley & Mark
4 Nicci & Matt

But Hayley can't make it. Everyone else good? And Gretel?
