Ok I know it is early but I want to get the ball rolling so I know I do have some plans for when I get up there. Me and the boys are driving up from Sibera on either the 8th or 9th of September and we fly out to Oz on the 11th. So the 10th is a day I want to catch up with everyone. So let me know what you think as a place to meet up - central for most people would be good. Just so you know it is a Wednesday. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

Greenlane McDonalds is quite good especially this time of year when the weather is unrealiable. We've met there before. There is a McCafe so you can get a decent coffee and there are tables in the playground so you can watch the kiddies play. The playground is good too. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

If I can stay that would be great. It is only the 10th and the 25th we need a place to crash as I don't really feel up to driving home after the flight on the 25th. I have to visit my old flatmate from Palmy on the evening of the 10th but that will be over and done with early as I do have children to get to sleep. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

I'll try and make it Becks. I'm back at work full time now  but might have to pull a sicky that day as I'd luv to meat up with you guys.
Could be a really short week as I am taking that Friday off as well because it's DH's 40th. Ah well thats the joy of working in a Government department. ------------- Mum to Natasha Aroha 9/12/1995, Alexandra Makareta Waimarie 22/4/1998 and....Alyssa Frances Hopaea 18/03/2007

I think from the last time I spoke to Emma she had booked the party room from 12pm - hopefully she will confirm this. We are driving up this day - so if I look shattered I have been up since about 5am. That afternoon I am free as well, so if anyone has any ideas of what to do - let me know. I have to see my old flatmate after she finishes work (good timing so we don't have to annoy Emma at her place for dinner) and then I have some special people (and you know who you are) coming to see me at Emma's. Thursday we don't have to be at the airport till 2pm (at the latest) so still have the morning to do things. I do want to go to Sylvia Park at some stage (so maybe Wednesday afternoon) and If I can I want to go over to the Snazzi shop (and only spend a little bit of $$ ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

Royal Oak is like 5 min up the road from my house so if we meet there I will come home after I drop Maya at school and then head up there at 11.30am.
If we go to Greenlane I will pick up Renata at 9am and go to the zoo (coz it's right by her house) then jump on the motorway at Western Springs and head up to McD's. We need to make a decision tho coz I've booked the party room at Greenlane so will need to cancel i if we are changing plans. Who is actually coming? ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)
