Since there is no playcentre for 2 weeks  I'm am taking the kids to friends cafe (down Cashel st) on Weds at 12. I'm going even if noone else does but it would be lovely to have some company 
There aren't any official carparks but there are heaps of 30min ones that we all parked in anyway. I haven't looked to see if theres any more tho. |

Am thinking I might be brave and come along...but we will see as I am rather shy and get extremely nervous about meeting new people.
If I do pluack up the courage is there enough room there for push chairs? -------------

| I dont think we will make it. We came into town yesterday for antenatal and I think Tom needs a day at home to get back into his routine. also I have to take into account the petrol costs these days (how boring and sensible!). But someone take photos and I want a full review as its a place I would like to try out. |

You are supposed to pay for them to play but all the times I've gone I've only had to pay for Jack so I doubt you won't need to pay for Ethan on any of the other small bubbas.
Its $3 for the bigger kids. |

Lol yep KA we finally get to meet When I went there when Jack was a month old bubbas didn't have to pay as they weren't playing. IMO they can't charge you if you're not using the play area, that would be like any restaurant or cafe charging you just for having a baby

Cool! Kandice, where abouts are you? Do you need a ride?
This may sound strange but since I've never met any of you... how do I know where you'll be? I've been to Friends before and it was packed. Just worried about looking like the lost little newbie when I get there

Lol, just look for the big bunch of people lol..
On the ride front, i dont have Kylahs carseat, DF took it in the car. Il bus. Altho its starting to look like rain. I dont have a rain cover yet as i only just bought my pram, DUH silly silly. Might see if the old one will fit over and just bus! If you can spot me il be wearing a black hoody with a red symbol on the front and red inside the hood.. Its so warm lol. ------------- ~ Mummy to a beautiful girl ~ |
