Hello all! New mum in Benfleet

#1 Unread post by Irishmammy » Thu May 10, 2012 1:49 pm

Hi everyone!
Im very new to this, just me (Laura) & my 4 month old boy Dexter in the house all day, Benfleet is a bit far from most of my friends so would be very happy to make new ones! I love tea & chats, Dex loves dribbling & bouncing! Anyone else in Benfleet? :D

Hi Louise, thank you! Hoping the weather gets better and I can get out and about more with Dex, I love the beach & seafront walks are good exercise so fingers crossed they will be happening more often! Brilliant site btw! <3

Heya ladies,I moved to London 11 years ago to see what it was like,was only meant to stay for the summer but loved it!! Glad I stayed,cos I wouldn't have met my lovely bloke otherwise-he's from Benfleet,we had lots of mutual friends and got together 7 years ago...once i came down here I was in love!! Love the seafront,the parks,the people,everything! I am a city girl though so Benfleet is a bit boring for me (no offence!) I need to be near a 24/7,a costa coffee etc..!! Im pretty sure we will end up living in Southend after the wedding...maybe sooner if I start to go mad! I miss my seafront walks already and we've only been back in Benfleet 3 weeks!! :O

Hi there, we run Farmer Fred's Play Barn on Manor Trading Estate in Benfleet. It is a very friendly family run play centre just for children aged 0-5 years.

We have lots going on for babies including: Baby Sensory, Sing & Sign, Jo Jingles, Messy Monkeys and our baby group Little Lambs. This runs every Wednesday from 2pm, it is very relaxed and a chance to meet and chat to other parents of similar aged children. It costs £2 and that includes tea and biscuits!

If you would like to know more have a look at our listing on Essex Mums or have a look at our website www.farmerfredsplaybarn.co.uk

Thanks and good luck with Dexter!

I can vouch for Farmer Fred's, it's lovely! If you ever fancy meeting up there let me know, I've been looking for an excuse to go!
