Hi Dmum. I'm just north of Glasgow- about 30 mins from Stirling. Where are you?

I'm in Falkirk, originally from Stirling and work in Glasgow!! I think I fit the criteria.

Hello Dmum,

Very new Mumsnetter here - recently moved into your 'catchment' area, Stirling

JanHR - I posted a message on that thread apologising.

I waited for a bus which never came, missed my 1st train then the taxi I phoned was late and I missed the 2nd train (only 1 train an hour that day). So I wouldn't have got there until about 2.30pm and thought that was too late. I was majorly peeved off and so was DS.

I promise to make the next one if I can, I was really looking forward to it.

Hi, everyone. I posted my message last night and thought I was the only one in this area! I live in Cumbernauld (great shopping centre, beautiful town - NOT!!)

Hi M2T and tabitha, maybe we could introduce ourselves. I have an 8 months old son and am due to go back to work in April after my year's maternity leave. I'm a primary teacher.

I'm 25 year mum to a gorgeous 2.5yr old DS and have one on the way!! Should be due around August 6th.

A primary teacher! You're a brave woman! I work for an electrical engineering firm as a Planner. Want to give up though or go part time, but at the moment DH needs about 5 promotions to allow me to do that.
Ah well.
It's nice to know there are Mumsnetters local to me. I might know a few of you!! Scary.

By the way, in case you are wondering here are a couple of the most common abbreviations used here:

ds/dd = Dearest son/daughter
dp/dh = Dearest partner/husband

Is he not trained yet?? Children of Mumsnetters must learn to fend for themselves by about 6months old... This mumsnetting is a fulltime occupation you know!

Hopefully speak to you later then. Bye bye.

Not brave, probably just mad. That's what everyone keeps telling me anyway.

Tabitha, what age are your kids? You've obviously had great experiences with your babies. I'm only just starting to enjoy ds now and he's 8 months old.
