We have finally gone and done it - put our place on the market and looking at houses in west wickham. But can anyone shed much light on the area? I have looked through multiple posts on here, mumsnet /netmums, 'Lets Move To...' etc and can't find that much which I find surprising as it has: outstanding secondary and primary schools great transport links to London Bridge and charring cross (30 mins) a well served high street with m&s food and Cook close to M25 and quick jaunts down to Sussex and beyond 20 mins drive to the Horniman etc Close to Croydon so good bonus transport links. And all importantly, great value for money properties with big gardens (similar prices to catford) It's Bromley borough. Am I missing something? It looks too good to be true.

Hi I bought a book called Pirate Pete's Potty which my son really engaged with. He started saying things like he wanted to sit on the potty like pirate pete :) Before we went fully for potty training we left the potty around the house and he would sit in it fully clothed and also put his teddys on the potty. Then we started with just using it when he got up in the morning. Also, I used a potty and a toddler seat for the toilet so he could exercise a little choice. He likes to use both. Goodluck!

Yes I know this is a bit random, but basically I have, what I think (and others), a good idea centred around making things for the wedding industry. And I'm pretty confident that this service doesn't exist....yet! I am really keen to start my own business and would love to hear from other creative types who are also keen to do this. The main criteria is you have to be good at making things and love arts and crafts enough that you'd be happy doing it as a business. As a bit of bkgrd info, I am a graphic designer of 11ys experience and a 33yr old mum of one gorgeous 18mth boy. So, please DM me if you are genuinely interested in this sort of venture and have the time to do it. I'd love to hear from you.

Actually just seen its the same one as posted by awilliams123, just different pattern!

John Lewis - ?25 - its red fleece with white stars snuggle. It's great, thick and very warm and looks good too. Excellent value. I always get lots of nice comments about it.

Hi, I had same problem with my son (now 8 months and happily taking his bottle). I was exclusively BF but at 3 weeks gave him a bottle of EBM and he was fine. I then made the mistake of stopping with a bottle of expressed a day as I wasn't getting on with the actual expressing! so continued just BF-ing, no bottles. Then at 5 months when I actually wanted him to take a bottle again he refused! I tried lots of different bottles but realised that what he missed was the comfort and intimacy of 'mummy time' so I tried to recreate this for him as much as possible. I sat him in a bouncer got really close to him and sang to him and let him hold my free hand or stroke my hair (like he usually did when BF-ing) and it worked a treat! Of course, he protested a bit for the first few sucks but when he realised how much attention he was getting he drank from the bottle really well. I only had to do this for the first few bottle feeds and then he was happy to take the bottle normally or even by other people. Might be worth a try! goodluck!
