There is a real mixture of uniform choices in pre reception. However for the first half of autumn term you will probably want the summer dress with a cardigan. In winter my daughters always wore the pinafore with a blouse underneath and cardigan. We had a skirt but rarely used it (and you can?t wear it after reception, so a bit of a waste) You will need 1 pair of jogging bottoms plus t-shirt for the day they have PE on (and I?d recommend a spare set for keeping at school) Most people opt for the red t shirt for PE. I?d only get 1 red sweatshirt if you plan on wearing dresses on non PE day. In hot weather navy shorts instead of jogging bottoms. I believe there is a 2nd hand uniform sale at school in the morning (at school drop off time)and think it?s open to all, so you could save a fortune if you went along! They have 2nd hand sales quite regularly so no need to get too much before school starts.

We have recently used Helen at Gardenia Gardens to completely re-plant our garden. She understood the brief and advised us on the plants she thought most suitable to meet this. We went with her suggestions and are very pleased with the results.

Hi Is this evening's meet up in Actress definitely on? I think my Au pair would like to join.

Ours is also wanting to start an English class asap, ideally 2 or 3 hours l, 2 days a week. We are looking at a few we've found on line (Mary Ward Centre in Holborn and The English Practice in Streatham)but would appreciate any recommendations as she would prefer to stay local. Thanks

Our 22 year old Spanish au pair arrived 2 weeks ago and would love to meet others in area. I think drinks would be a great idea

I used Stevie to fix a really bad cut and highlights that I'd had done at a local salon. She did a great job of sorting it out and was very friendly. Her number is 07535 660509

I've had the Navigator 2 (which got stolen from my car), then a Sport (hated it so upgraded after a couple of months)and now a Dot. I would avoid the Sport, either of the others are good but my preference is the Dot, it seems smaller (but still plenty big enough for my 3 year old) You are welcome to come and test drive mine Emma

I had an amazing pregnancy facial at Dr Boo. I think they do massage too.

I also agree with Bellenden Belle, we were very disappointed with the Whippersnappers experience this weekend. Will definitely look at Morden hall park next year, it sounds much better!

I am also happy to recommend Fernando who came today and did a great job tidying my garden. He was punctual, polite and hard working. I would definitely use him again.

We just used Bromley and Ellis in Herne Hill. They were very helpful.

We have a special shoulder ice pack/sling that you can borrow if you would like.

Hi, yes my husband broke his arm at the shoulder snowboarding back in January. It was a very nasty break that was operated on in France and then again in London when he got home. He can recommend a good surgeon.

Thanks Bonfire2010, I will definitely look into that.

Does anyone know of any mum and baby pilates classes, ideally for post c-section, on either a Tuesday or Thursday? I did the Jelly-belly course after my first child and would love to do it again, but I don't think they have a class on these days (when my eldest will be in nursery)

Great. Just look out for some huge bumps and some new borns.

Hi Katie Some of us are meeting at the Duck Egg cafe today at 2.30, you are welcome to join us. Emma

I flew BA to LA a few months ago with my then 18 month old daughter. I emailed BA before hand and got a very unhelpful response just telling me what is on their website and doesn't answer the question about whether they can provide cow's milk for children. As I was flying business class I took the chance that they would have some for me and they did, however I was made to feel like it was a difficulty for them and an unusual request. They also didn't provide any food for her (although she didn't have her own seat, so kind of understandable) I would advise it'a probably best to buy some milk once through security and then ask them to refrigerate it for you in the plane and take lots of snacks.

They will have your name on a list, no need to take anything (we went today)

You're welcome to join us today. Hopefully see you later x

Great, see you Sunday.

1st December great for me too, I would need to bring my daughter. Emma x

Hi All, It was great to meet so many of you last week. I'm looking forward to seeing you again and meeting some new faces soon.x

Thanks for organising. See you next week. Emma x
