Hiya,
Mum2Sam lives up your way and her daughter is 20 months (I think, dont quote me lol) You could try and send her a pm (which is a private message) Otherwise .. we have organised an "Auckland" coffee group, which is meeting up fortnightly around various parts of Auckland. The first one is on the 17th at One Tree Hill and the following fortnight we are meeting at Cheltenham Beach. The threads are also listed in this part of the forum .. so have a looksey and see what you think. And welcome to OB (You will love it here)  ------------- Mummy to Issy (3) and Elias (18 months) I did it .. 41 kgs gone! From flab to fab in under a year  http://www.femininefitness.co.nz/category/blog - LFs weight blog

Hi girls - I'm moving up to Little Manly early September from Mount Maunganui. I have 18 month old twins, boy & girl, and would love to meet other mums in the area, as we don't know anyone!

Cool! Sounds good:)
I work 4 evenings a week (days a bit random as shift basis) after 5pm, leave at 4pm if it's weekdays as I take baby to meet his Dad in the CBD and he catches the ferry home with him! So basically am always available daytimes (so long as I have enough time to get ready if it's a work afternoon!) Kris M I know the feeling of not knowing anyone! |

Oh don't worry about being slack....I've now got nappy brain x2, worse MS than I had before , work, DH trying to do home renovations of all things, Toby having very bad time with some new fangs appearing at an alarming rate, and MIL visiting next month.....

No plans for Thursday - wanna try again
BTW, have you tried Teethmed spray by Naturopharm for the fangs? It certainly used to help Sam with her teeth coming through - I am so glad we are past the teething now with her. Oh, and nappy brain - I hear yay on that one. Was looking for the tea bags this morning to make a cuppa and found them in the dishwasher - WTF!!!  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Mel if you go right at those lights Esquires is just up on the right hand side a little.
I will be there next week - decided to skip Rhyme time today - my little guy has an ear infection and is pretty miserable so we are just taking it nice and easy for a few days :) We will be at Rhyme time at 10.30 so will see anyone that turns up there - otherwise will see you at Esquires at 11

Ok I know where you mean.
I have Toy Library on Thursdays, I can go anytime from 9.30 so once I've done that (usually 1/2 an hour - depending on the queues) I'll come across. See you then  ------------- Mr Mellow (16) Miss Attitude (8) Destructa Kid (3)

It's at the Baptist Church on Centreway Road, you pay $20 a term and can take toys out (just like a book library) You can have them for one or two weeks... My little man loves it.. ------------- Mr Mellow (16) Miss Attitude (8) Destructa Kid (3)

ooo- what a good idea!!
wish there was a proper list of everything to do and where- it really does depend on who you talk to to find out stuff!! we might have to join that! do they just do it one day a week? |
Posted By: Mama2two
Date Posted: 03 June 2010 at 7:56pm
We used to be with the toy library but it broke Sam's heart everytime we had to take the things back Plus we probably don't really need to go anymore.....you would understand if you saw my house - we could sort of be a toy library
Don't worry lily77cat, I'm sure between the three of us we can fill you in on all the activities in the area

It's weekly on a Thursday - there is a waiting list, so if I was you I'd stop in there and put your name down...
Lily, I've only lived here since December, and it was my neighbour who put me in touch with the Toy Library, I wouldn't have joined if it wasn't for her
Check out this website, I found it useful when I first moved up here http://www.hibiscuslink.co.nz/index.php - Info Site ------------- Mr Mellow (16) Miss Attitude (8) Destructa Kid (3)
