I'm looking for somewhere I can meet other mums and where my little boy can meet some friends! I cant speak greek yet but if greek mums can speak a little English then we can learn together!!

Thanks!

Hi, Im moving out middle of August to Limassol, did you find out if there were any meeting places, my husband will be at work all day and my boys will be at school till 1.15 so I will need a place to go and have some english adult conversation in the afternoon. Jackie

no nobody has replied...cept you lol!! but I know how u feel! I've heard of a mother & toddler group in kidsworld on wednesday mornings...thing is I dont know if its JUST Greek mums going so dont really want to be the only English 1 there...sort of defies the point of meeting other mums! But if you'd like to meet up when you get here and are settled then we can have a peek together!! Oh yeah you're kids are in school til 1.15!! never mind! we can still meet up at the park or something! How old are your boys?? My son is 1 and my daughter is 4..shes in school til 4pm usually! She goes in between 8.30 and 9am She couldnt cope the big change to 7am start!!!

That would be lovely to meet up my boys are 3 & 5 they have both got into a school not sure how they are going to cope with the early starts. how long have you been out there & how are the kids coping with the heat. thanks for replying. Jackie

We have been here since May (5th) we were lucky coz we had storms the week after we arrived and it was nice to settle in 'normal' weather! The kids have coped really well Emily better than Toby! Toby got really ill after about 2 weeks we think it was because of his milk (ie leaving it for 15mins then going back to it!) They both sleep with nothing on except knickers/nappy!! In August I'm told we get 2 weeks which are 'unbearable' everything closes for holidays then (be warned!) What date are you moving?

Did you never find a mother and baby group? i saw the thread and thought it might mention one. Im Gringlish (Greek, born in England, moved to Cyprus 5 yrs ago). Id love to find out if there were any mother and toddler groups in Limassol, id love it better if they were on a Saturday morning as i work and it would be difficult to go if it were during the week. My son is going to be 2 in September

[hunnibee]

no I've still not heard anything!! But the way we're going we're gonna be able to make one of our own!!! Jackie is comin over August anybody else want to join?? Maybe we should set up meeting places and times!! Theres PLENTY of places for kids like playplanet, playzone (? not sure if its the right name...not far from but opposite side Carrefour on Griva Digeni) Limassol Zoo, lunapark, Or just a park/beach if we're strapped for cash!!!

We fly out on Sat 18th we have rented a house but our furniture does not arrive till the Monday so we are staying at a hotel for a couple of days then it will be bedlem sorting it all out, what fun! I think that sounds good about making our own group up Im glad they have adventure play places I bet there busy in the afternoons if all the kids finish school early. Have you learnt any greek yet!

[hunnibee]

Not alot! Just basic politeness!! Hello Please Thank You etc Emily's going to a greek school so she's learning very fast..she's singing greek songs!! Shes doing so well! What school will yours go to? Where abouts is your house?

[jackie j]

Could not come back to you sooner as my husband has been out in Limassol this week sorting out a house to live in finally found something in Ayios Tychonas not that it means anything to me, we got the kids into the Heritage school. Where are you based is it close.
