I know how you feel Karina; and I *am* no mail, but I still like to see responses to my postings, and I also (stupidly) take it personally if I feel " ignored " . However I can well understand why not all my messages are of interest to everyone, as I can't reply to postings which have no relevance to me either, ie breastfeeding bras or books/dvds I haven't seen/read. Also since I am out of the small child era, and most of you are deep in it, I whinge on about my teenagers which most of you can't relate to. Hard not to take it personally however, I agree! > Time to get on with real life - make real life contact, get involved > locally perhaps, ring people I haven't kept in touch with. Good move, although you *can* do both; I have found the less I use IRC the more I interact with the real world as IRC is *far* more timeconsuming and addictive than the yahoogroups. You just sit there for hours typing to someone whose face you might never see. Come back soon, anyway! Ruthie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 10, 2001 Report Share Posted August 10, 2001 Karina, can you try and do both? I mean real life, plus maybe read the messages on the web when you have a spare minute? I love this list and find it a real life saver at times! My boys are 4, 2 and 4 months and although I do get out quite a lot (school runs, parties, out with friends), there are times when I can't get out with all of them, and it is *so* nice to be able to have grown-up conversations on here. I'm sure it's helped keep my sanity at times. I assume you mean the mail about your weekend on your own that no one has replied to? I nearly did and was going to rattle off all the things you could be doing and then realised that they were all near me and I had no idea where in the country you are, so decided not to reply!! Can you try and see friends this weekend or have someone over to you? Or go out somewhere locally, like a zoo, park or even fruit picking? It's nice to do something different, but I sometimes avoid going places at weekends as it does get so busy, and I still have the option of going during the week. Hope you have a good weekend whatever you decide! Hannah Bye for now I've decided to go no-mail for a while. I've enjoyed my time here, yet I realised yesterday when I was disappointed noone had replied to my mails, that I was starting to take it too personally, and too seriously. Time to get on with real life - make real life contact, get involved locally perhaps, ring people I haven't kept in touch with. Thanks again. Perhaps I'll come back some time.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2001 Report Share Posted August 10, 2001 Oh, Karina, I hope you do stay - you can find a balance between this and real life (though I'm not sure I have!) and we'd miss you Vicki Portman http://www.plushpants.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 10, 2001 Report Share Posted August 10, 2001 Oh Karina, I struggle with this list continually (e.g. feeling like I don't fit in) and I am not even one of the regulars! I rarely reply to posts because I just don't have the time, and was thinking I would go no mail too as I am getting grief from him upstairs about all the time i spend on 'his' cooter in the evening etc. Anyway I guess I am ideally placed to reply to your email about what to do in the area because I think (?) it is you that lives in NW5 (therefore quite near). (hope you will read this) One idea is the children's activites/performers at Hampstead heath. There is supposed to be an acrobat performing at 3pm on sunday in Golder's Hill Park - might be worth a look and cheap too! Email me if you want more details. Other suggestions: London Zoo, Highgate Woods, shopping (well that's my favourite). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 10, 2001 Report Share Posted August 10, 2001 NW5? I didn't know you lived that close to me (NW11). Not that I have small kids, but I do remember what I used to do with them in the holidays and Golders Hill Park was a firm favourite; there is always something to do there; also Parliament Hill has a wonderful play area/activity centre and a gorgeous paddling pool and sandpit. All free! If it rains there's always clown town which is behind the big tesco on the North Circular going east towards southgate.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2001 Report Share Posted August 10, 2001 I *think* Karina lives there. I live in N4. I have never been to clown town but I keep thinking I ought to go.

See you all after Sabbath; we are two hours ahead here so it's a quarter past six already and as we are further east than the UK Sabbath begins and ends earlier too. (ends around ten past 8 here, at dark. The period between twilight and dark here is barely twenty minutes.) Yeshaya has been glued to his playstation ever since he got it, he can't use it on Sabbath so this will be a real test of how he can cope without it!

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2001 Report Share Posted August 13, 2001 Hi , I used to live in N4 - absolutely loved it and it was really good for small children (I thought so anyway...). My daughter was born at the Whittington in '94 (!) - the best thing when she was tiny was the NCT - don't know if its still really active there. But there was lots else for us to do - and she went to a lovely nursery from 2 at Gillespie school, and then on to the school. We were there 'til Mon was over 6 - only had to move 'cos of the house prices (too steep when we finally got enough together to buy). Have you been there long, and how old is/are your kid/s? Mon still goes to a drama school in N1 on Saturdays (we're now in E10 & starting from scratch - new area with new baby :-) ). Siobhan Re: Re: Bye for now > I *think* Karina lives there.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 Though I have found all your emails to be so helpful, I am getting a bit overwhelmed keeping up with the messages in my outbox. Is there a way for me to just go on the yahoo website periodically and see these? I need to take a break from the emails so I can begin " digesting " all this information and see how to best help my daughter in following this diet to get the best results. I am soon getting a yogurt maker to try the yogurt so I need to spend my time learning how to do that as well. However, if any of you who have read my emails in the past and want to contact me in private, feel free to do that and I will reply. Thank you all for your help.
