If you are interested in the Oz meet-up but are having problems with a babysitter drop me a line - I live not far from Newtown and can lend you my Mum if you like - How old is the baby??

The other aternative is to bring the little one along - ask Linus if it's a family friendly pub.

Thanks Actually, I thought it was the 15th of THIS month. As far as I can tell next month will be OK -- although I'm working that morning. But I really appreciate the offer

They're 5 and 7 actually.

Well ... if you need someone to watch (read control and amuse ) them, drop me a line. 5 and 7 are easy to look after and my Mum is very experienced (read grey haired and harassed )

*giggle* Thank you. Actually their father or our babysitter would almost always be available; just they're going out together THIS 15th, so that was the problem But seeing as it's not 'til September, I THINK it will be OK.

Hi St Sad, mad or Bad,

if you have to bring them then let me know and I'll bring mine who are 7 and 9 and they can amuse each other, otherwise mine 'll stay at home with their father.

Hmmm that's 4 kids (possibly) - barbecued or roasted?? (laugh)

How many kids does it take to wallpaper a room??

Just one - but you have to slice them REAL thin

(just kidding - I like kids - as long as they're someone elses )

Thanks platypus; I'll see how we go as we get closer to the day

Hi SMoB,

Are you still coming on Saturday? Have you organised a sitter?

I'll have to see about Saturday. I've had the flu, and still feel quite . I should be OK for a sitter if I come though, but thanks for asking!

If I do make it, it'll be after work, but I finish work at 12 anyway...
