Au pair in Nottingham

Hi people!

I'm a new member here! I've been lurking around these forums for a while, and finally I decided to register!

I'm currently on my gap year and now I'm working as an au pair in Nottingham. I'm planning on staying here for 6 months (that is if I survive since the kids are pretty damn tough!). I know no one here besides the au pair family, and even though the family is great, all this adult and kiddy companionship is driving me nuts! I would really love to get to know some people my age (~18-20ish) to hang out with! So I'm just wondering if there is anyone here who would like to hang out with a really nice and great girl (= me! :yep:

) who lives in Nottingham?

Don't miss out on this great chance and see ya soon hopefully! :p:

LOL, how come you ended in Notts, not the usual choice.
I live in Nottingham but am going travelling in 7 days, sorry!
Where abouts in Notts are you?
If you want to meet people go to Rescue Rooms/Rock City or Oceane depeding on your music choice, Malt Cross on St James' Str. (just off Market Square), one of the millions of Neros/Starbucks/Costas/Prets etc
Just venture into town

I will echo the Malt Cross. It is AMAZING... I really love it in there (it's opposite the Weatherspoons which used to be the non smoking one, if you ask people they will know where you mean)

I will reply to this properly tomorrow. Sadly, I'm a Nottingham-ite who has moved away from there- I won't be back home until March and thats only for a couple of days. But I can give you some ideas of places to meet people in town. I love Nottingham! I'd have gone for a drink with you if I still lived at home...

Welcome to Nottingham Yit :smile:

-I've been born and raised in Nottingham and it's a really nice city indeed as you'll come to discover :smile:

I also concur the Malt Cross is a fantastic place indeed -the first time I hear of there I went there with some mates on the last day of sixth form and had a really great time , the waffles they serve come particularly highly recommended.Been back once since with some uni mates and they are quite impressed with the place.

Plenty to do here in Nottingham , there's the main nightclubs Oceana , Ocean , Isis (which I've got no interest in at all!) , the Bodega is a fantastic place really and they have plenty of indie gigs going on the.We also have the Nottingham Eye which is fantastic - they had a large ferris wheel put up in Old Market Square nearly a year ago and it was massive success so much so it stayed open for a month longer than planned.

Thanks for the replies and advice guys! So this Malt Cross which everyone seems to be talking about, is it a pub (that serves waffles apparently?) or is it just a café/restaurant?

conroe-killed-the-k8-star, so you live and study in Nottingham, right? Are you doing anything at any of the places mentioned above this coming or next weekend? If you are, maybe I could join you and your friends? You won't regret it if I do! ^_^
