Kent CMs - meeting up?

[VINASOL]

I know that there was some discussion about meeting up from an earlier thread but I can't find it, so I thought I'd post....totally selfish I'm afraid...I do not have any other minder friends that I can really talk to and just thought that it might be nice to meet up somewhere...either with kiddies or as gosh, should I say it - Grown Ups??

I live near Bluewater and can travel as far as Maidstone...just wondered if anyone fancied it...no worries if no-one wants to :blush:

:cool:

[Tinglesnark]

I'm in :) I'm in Walderslade woods so not far from you at all - chelle and scully are my partners in crime and I'm sure they will meet up! We should meet up for dinner somewhere x

[pinky33]

Were 20 min from bluewater if you don't mind a couple of lezzies joining you. A adult night sounds great.

[Tinglesnark]

Don't be silly pinky! The more the merrier x

[~Chelle~]

Definitely an adult night, would be nice to meet everyone and feel relaxed, without having eyes and ears wandering everywhere lol

I agree with Tinglesnark, a nice meal somewhere. Have suggested the Malta Inn before, which is a Beefeater in Maidstone or we can meet up at Bluewater, as there are some nice Restaurants there.

Hey Sam,
I think that we're very close to one another; if you fancy meeting up one morning (kiddies in toe) then we could meet at the playpark outside mcdonalds in bluewater if you fancy it

[wendywu]

And me and me, i have just seen this thread. Go shopping at Bluewater all the time. Can you fit me in as well please:D

[wendywu]

Can you fit Twinkles in as well please :thumbsup:

[Tinglesnark]

No probs wendy! You're welcome!
chelle looks like were gonna need a bigger table dude! Get on the blower haha!

[pinky33]

Fab, lets get it booked then - if we book for 10 as chelle said then there is space for everyone and Pinky wont need to panic that there wont be space for her :laughing: :cool:


You have seen the size of my a.r.s.e then l I always worry there won't be space for me ;):panic:

[Tinglesnark]

There's space pinky 

Oooh yes that's sounds brilliant, I only have a 14mth old and my own 3yr old at the moment but I know she will enjoy it too. We will have to compare diary's lol! Saying that , another week and my biggies are off school again :eek:

[SamBaker]

Do any of you go to the childminding group in Swanley on a Tuesday?

[/QUOTE]

I use the park in Swanley in the summer, the children love the paddling pool, you are so lucky to have it near you.

It takes me about 45 min to drive there. :)

[Toothfairy]

If anyone needs a lift to the Bluewater meet up, let me know. I may be able to grab you on the way through. :thumbsup:

[~Chelle~]

Whooo hoooo Wendywu and Twinkles too :clapping:

I make the total headcount at 10 people.

So far have:-

Madamtorres
Pinky
Pinky's partner
Toothfairy
Tinglesnark
Helcatt
Carolyn01
~Chelle~
Wendywu
Twinkles

Please let me know if I have missed anyone out. I need to phone the restaurant a few days beforehand just to confirm numbers and that we still want the table.

Ooooooooooh sooooooooooooo exciting :clapping:

Fab...I've got three 4yr olds (they turned 4 in Dec, Jan and in Feb) so they "should" get on well lol...I don't do CMs groups at the moment, mindees prefer to stay home with me and I've had a 'bad experience', although Swanley is only about a 15 min drive for me.

Oh bless them, the one I go to is really nice and the few people that are there are lovely, only problem is my daughter is the oldest and she gets a bit bored with the 'babies' lol! I didn't think I would enjoy it ( don't normally like things like that) but it is nice, probably only 5 or 6 of us today and that was busy! :eek:

[SamBaker]

Oooh and the toddler group I go to on a monday in Horton Kirby is crying out for people to come, if you did fancy going to one, again about 6 -7 of us, really not good in a great big hall, hardly pays the rent. Debbie, the lady that runs it has no problem with Cm's going (saying that, there's only me :laughing: :laughing: )

Think that's a fab idea...can only try it, huh? I didn't get a good vibe from last group so maybe kids didn't, or just perhaps like they like being at home but I'm willing to try something else...PM details location/start time etc...I have 3 very spirited young ladies that I'm sure your DD will have fun with ;o)

[Helcatt]

Woohoo! I am def coming, all sorted! Now, if I could just hand my assignment in first so I can really have something to celebrate!
