Re: Who'd be up for an online chat night?!

I would be up for a chat night on a Wednesday. I have a regular committment on a Wednesday but should make it home in time for an 8pm start.

How do you plan on setting up a group chat session? Is it hosted through this site?

That's awesome @GrhRo! We've got a great group so far and hoping numbers will continue to increase. 

 

I'm going to be relying on @Ngaio-RO for assistance in the setup, but yes, it will be run through this site, using our same usernames and maintaining our anonymity. 

 

We'll keep everyone updated here, so watch this space Smiley Happy

Wednesdays are good for me. I may need reminding. Some days I'm lucky if I can recall my own name Smiley Tongue

I relate @LovingThruBlue and @mum2twins! I turned up for a Thursdsay Dr's appoointment this week on Wednesday!!

 

Maybe we could send out a reminder email each week?

I think an online chat night is a great idea..Im particularly interested in topics that might help me to encourage my teen son to get more motivated and active...Im looking forward to joining in..

I can help with the email reminders and tracking the topics.
Don't forget @hippychick and everyone, that we'll be tackling the big and hard to talk about topics during the Wednesday Wraps and some other times we have in the pipe lines. Would it be worth thinking about keeping this catch up as something a bit lighter maybe.
I know some communities use this time as a general catch up. To see how everyone is and support them if they're working through stuff.

How about both @Ngaio-RO ? I don't know if it would work but maybe a check in to see how we're all going and then ask if there's a specific (bigger) topic someone needs help with. See where it leads us? Maybe you might have a few back up topics for those nights nothing larger comes up. Just throwing thoughts out Smiley Happy
