You need my number in your phone, i'm only 20 minutes away & sure my youngest child is 8 but i never let them experience mother's group when they were children, at the time, i couldn't think of anything worse on an Army base, it was so so awful, the few i trialled, but yours sounds aces. With actual supervised children, rather than women dumping their children in the middle, whinging about DHA while chugging back on cigarettes while showing off tattoos - shudder, i'm scarred!! Orange play dough, my favourite. Autumn leaf craft, yes please. Lordy i missed out didn't i?? Back in the day it was all about rank & i was shunned because of the way i spoke & had been to Uni, i know, forget the fact we were all equal housewives!!

Your playgroup sessions would be incredible!<br /><br />It's Saturday so the working peeps can do something with the kids, and the families with a deployed / field parent have somewhere to go on those bloody long, dragging weekends. I was kind of questioning it's sticking power myself, but they needed someone to run it so I just volunteered. Someone's got to do it!<br /><br />If you still lived up the road, I would be a very happy lady :)The Accidental Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12903019781422765851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7649782126359701245.post-80955082806403088742012-05-06T08:36:35.527+10:002012-05-06T08:36:35.527+10:00God, that's horrible!

It is word of mouth and getting them there that is the hardest.<br />You can not go and hassle their children through their breakfast. I find that winter and the cold is the hardest time to start something new or a new routine. <br />Can I ask why it is on a Saturday? I think that it is a great idea for where you live and knowing the hours that the boys live, but you will not get the ones with older children.<br />If still lived in the house up the road that we lived in 9 years ago I would be there in a flash.Kyliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17600462735290326334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7649782126359701245.post-90833636563068393592012-05-06T08:29:45.250+10:002012-05-06T08:29:45.250+10:00Loves it in her carpet, loves it caked in her kitc...Loves it in her carpet, loves it caked in her kitchen utensils?The Accidental Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12903019781422765851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7649782126359701245.post-36194391394473472402012-05-06T08:28:42.333+10:002012-05-06T08:28:42.333+10:00I reckon it was because it was on Saturday. the Ce...I reckon it was because it was on Saturday. the Centre was trying to run it for people who work and those who's partner's are away (the weekends can get awfully long). <br /><br />Maybe you should start one yourself!

Then you should have guilted everyone into coming so "you wouldn't be the only one showing up." <br /><br />At least that's what I do if I'm supposed to lead something.<br /><br />Oh, and I had an electrician here the other day. He saw our golden retriever and got all sentimental as they had one for years and years. He said, "Don't ever let her near play dough. It's toxic for dogs. That's what killed our golden, when our grandkids left it out and she ate it."<br /><br />So sad.

Anyway on the first Tue of every month I would make a cake and we would have tea and coffee. So I got every thing set up and waited and waited and in the end it was just me and my little girl. I was so annoyed but she didn't mind having cake and milk with just mum. Better luck next week, try the flyers and signs it will work xx Jodie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7649782126359701245.post-55044158047658106772012-05-05T22:17:22.015+10:002012-05-05T22:17:22.015+10:00Oh, that's so disappointing.
