We can just gossip and chit chat in a relaxed way. We also share information - I bring my copy of Helsinki Times (eng lang paper) and others bring along leaflets of children's events in english or otherwise. <br /><br />If one of us has been "home" to the US or UK, then we often share treats, too ;D. Last month Deborah brought us some calamine lotion - as lots of the kids had chickenpox and you can't get it here !!Finnglish Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04433889717897286542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722980241375072127.post-70491297441094751622010-05-23T22:46:53.179+01:002010-05-23T22:46:53.179+01:00Your reasons for Toddler Groups are bang on the mo...Your reasons for Toddler Groups are bang on the money for me since moving to a new part of the UK. Sometimes our Friday group is the only time Little One and I see other people. Its been our way to make friends, have fun and enjoy some different arts and crafts. I would have been lost without our little group. However, when I lived in Kent in our pre-Singapore days, I very very rarely attended such groups as I already had lots of friends, kids went to nursery on my working days and I wanted the time off to do things with my kids as I choose rather than to a Group agenda. Isn't it funny how things change over time?<br /><br />MD xMrsVikkitoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14907024797797093935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722980241375072127.post-63914410612869216052010-05-21T00:19:31.311+01:002010-05-21T00:19:31.311+01:00I met a lot of nice people at them, some became ve...I met a lot of nice people at them, some became very good friends, I'm all for them! tag for you at mine http://geekymummy.blogspot.com/2010/05/two-memes-with-one-stone.htmlgeekymummyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10529149669501249892noreply@blogger.com
