Hi there

we are in jindalee which isnt far from you. we have 2 girls aged 9 and 15 but always up for a coffee/wine and chat. We dont tend to do the big meet ups in the parks as my oldest daughter wouldnt come along and dont really want to leave her all day.

i do tend to work between 2 and 5 days a week but if you pm me i am sure we can sort something out that goes for you to suzy

Hi Emma, I've also sent you a PM.

Hi Peter - we are a family with 2 boys under 5. we're currently in the process (fingers crossed) of moving to Chapel Hill from The Gap. Hopefully should be settled in about a month or so - maybe we could arrange a meet up at a park or something?

cheers,
Emma

Just realised - this makes it sound like we really want to get away from The Gap! The opposite really - love it here but sadly can't find a house to buy that meets what we need for some reason. So we decided to opt for buying a house back where we were renting previously in Chapel Hill, which is also a lovely suburb.

Hi Lee,

It would be great to meet up again - although I'm afraid we're really busy for the next few weekends - James is manning a stall at Greenfest next sunday and we're attempting to arrange a garage sale & pack the household belongings.
How about we make it for next month? We might have moved house by then and things will have settled down a bit, you never know!

It was a great spot at Mt Coot-tha, so would be good to meet there again.

Maybe a few others would like to join us too?

Thanks and hopefully see you soon!
Emma

hi Emma

Next month sometime sounds great. I'll be in touch to arrange something but please drop me a message if i forget to arrange a time. In the meantime good luck with the move and hope to catch up later.

Hi

We are in Chapel Hill and would love to meet up for a BBQ at Mt Coot-tha if that would be okay? We are Steve (me) Kaye, Ben 8 and Emily 6.

Please let us know if anything is arranged.
