huge thanks to the ladies that organised tonights meet. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and it was lovely putting a face to all your names/posts.

Hopefully I can conquer my nerves and go again next time. And no you didn't all bite.

Yes thank you ladies. It was really nice and fun. It's the biggest dinner I've been to so far. Sorry to those that I missed out talking to, hopefully we will be able to chat at another meet

jen, i bit tasha after you left

thanks irene and nicole for organising and to everyone who turned up! i had the best night out since... well, since MMM last year *hint hint* LOL!!!!

Hi all,
I am just getting my EB fix before going to bed... I had a great night too, and am sorry I didn't get to meet all of you. I only realised as people were leaving that I didn't get around to everyone (I was too busy talking TV shows with Bimbogirl and Tarabelle! )

Sooooooo, when's the next meet up? I am thinking we give it a month (or so ), and have a Christmas in July type thing? Who's up for it?

(And for those who left early, you missed Brazen doing a dance on the table... shame you missed it!! )

thanks for catching me when i fell off dixie ....

Glad I could make it ladies! I really enjoyed myself. Unfortunately I can't see it happening again for a little while as DH demonstrated a lack of logic tonight that made me realise why I was not comfortable with it in the first place.

I got home and before I even reached the front door I could hear Alex screaming... and I mean SCREAMING. I have never heard anything like it come from him before, he was so extremely upset (in bed). He rarely cries and never anything like that.

Paul said he had checked on him 20 minutes before and he was fine. He has a hearing problems so we use a baby monitor but the batteries had gone flat (they are shit and don't last long).

Rather than simply bringing the charger into the study and pluging it into the mains like a sensible person would he decided to put it on the charger for a few minutes at a time and then bring it back to the study. This only lasts a few minutes and it went flat without him realising (because the repetitive beeping isn't a good enough indicator).

So he didn't hear him... He had obviously been crying for a while. All I could think was what if it was the SIDS alarm I was coming home to and not him crying and he didn't hear a damn thing.

It's not Pauls fault really but my god why the hell did he not have enough sense to move the charger? *sigh*

Anyway not to be a downer... But it might be a few months again before I feel confident leaving him for more than an hour. I really did enjoy tonight though and it was great meeting some new face

Karen you promised me you wouldn't tell anyone our secret!!

Bummer Nic that your great night ended on a downer. I hope Alex settled for you.

I also want to add my thanks to the organisers and to janette for taking me. I had a lovely time and loved meeting you all. I am definately up for meeting again. Nic sorry to hear about DH and Alex.

It sounds like a lovely night. I would have gone, only I am tied down at home atm.

Maybe next time

Yeah he did. As soon as I picked him up he was OK. He wasn't hysterical or anything and I suppose screaming was a slight exageration but it was screaming by his standards (many would consider it to be just really seriously crying as a baby does when they don't settle for hours).

Oh, gosh, Nut, that is not what you want to come home to... I would have freaked out and raced in to see what on earth was going on. Yes, the 'logic' my DH uses (though a wonderful husband and father) is what drives me the most crazy... sometimes they just don't get the simplest things/ ideas, do they?! Oh well, next get together, we'll have to have a 'family' one, so everyone can come!

Nope they don't.

I am not angry with him or anything, he made a mistake/misjudged the situation/didn't think. He's normally such an intelligent man but when it comes to every day logic it just doesn't exist. What can you do though... No harm done and he knows what to do next time. But I don't think next time will be for a little while still. Poor thing couldn't figure out how to stack the steriliser either hehe.

Thanks from me too. I had fun. It was good meeting some new people.

I'm glad Alex settled quickly for you Nut.

Connor was sound asleep in bed He went down easily and without a fuss. YAY!!!! L was asleep on the couch though. LOL

Thanks again for organising the night.

Robyn



Oh and Karen, I made it home without getting lost.

nic, i would make some disparaging comments about men but i can't be bothered to argue with mr brazen about it

Thanks ladies for a great night ! Sorry we needed to make an early departure, was buggered !!!

Cheers, Marla. !

It was a great night! I loved chatting to so many of you and sorry about the few I missed. Next time

Jen - we'll have lunch soon OK?

And Tanya - we'll look through our "pre-babies life" photo albums soon OK?

Hi All. Thanks for last night. It was nice to meet you all. I got home to find DH and DS asleep on the lounge with the TV on, surrounded by toys and dirty dishes. Had to put both of them to bed. I look forward to seeing you all soon.

Yes definitely a big thumbs up from me! & thanks again Irene for being our designated driver, was lovely to have a glass of wine. Looking forward to reminiscing about our pre-baby lives...

Glad that Alex settled for you Nic, men what I can say Bless em...

Tks from me too! I have been trying to get on here to say so since last night but DH was hogging the notebook . GLad Alex settled Nic.

Thanks from me too, was great to meet everyone for the first time... :-)

Tara

Big thanks from me too. It is so nice to go out and be me and have normal conversations

Thankfully dh is good on the childcare front and both were sound asleep (in bed!).

Must do it again sometime.

Karen

Just another thanks ladies, just because I got to sleep in until 11am this morning because my mother had my girls. It was so nice to finally have a sleep in, and I owe it to the person who organised this dinner
