thankyou for your words of advice...these are all things i will think about!

Hi, I was just wondering if poeple have had any experience of their children being used as models? Can anyone recommened any "kosher" agencies? I have reservations about the agencies who ask for joinging fees.

Ive noticed in the past that a couple of threads that have been on the East Dulwich Forum have ended up in the Daily Mail.

the picture on that poster is wierd and inappropriate, however it is not racist. no smoke without fire.....

this weather has made my little one more tired !!!

what do people think of the name "India" ?

by the way, I take foreign students and said good bye to a 16 year old french student yesterday, who has already sent me 5 emails of pictures and thankyou letters!

sadly the bottom line is people do this for the ??, however it sounds like the home was a unsuitable and this is totally irresponsible by the people who run the foreign students placements. they need to ask would they be happy leaving their children with this family?

good call showboat

i think there was a thread running on this story a couple of months ago?

glad to see there are street parties taking place lovely

I was born in Dulwich, raised in Beckenham. Went to Brighton Univerity for four years. Then I moved back to East Dulwich for work purposes. Fell pregnant, Decided Dulwich wasnt a place we wanted to raise a family and have recently recolcated to Ashford in Kent....(phheww,...Yes I have moved about!) Do I regret leaving London again? no. I think East Dulwich has improved greatly, however I did find SOME people in ED (not everyone!!) slightly pretentious? I say different courses for different horses.

that was a heart breaking story. should never ever have happened

if the heckiling becomes offensive and you feel vunerable its best to contact the police

thanks for the replies. My friend has some vouchers for optimax (finchiley road) she said the results are fantastic. Im really frightened about it all but im so fed up with contact lenses and the thought of not scrambling around looking for my glasses when the baby wakesup seriously appeals!

has anyone had corrective laser eye surgery and have children ? im really keen to have this procedure done, but just concerned about recovery times and dealing with my toddler.

if finances allow, have you thought of getting some home help after baby number 2? a cleaner? someone to help you with meals? always accept help from granny etc

I have the ergo for a 15 month old highly recommend it

this really suprises me

ive just rung a local cab company to ask if they carry a car seat for a one year old, to be told that taxis are exempt from this law? has anyone else found this? im not sure if id be happy to just sit her on my lap

and to take sainsburys to court to contest a ?50 fine on the grounds of discrimination, would cost how much?

i think silver fox's idea for a street party was a good one. its a shame people had to knock her for trying

this sounds similar to the last post, but with regards to getting dressed, have you tried asking your little one what they might like to wear for that day? if you are in a hurry in the morning perhaps ask him the night before what he would like to wear for the next day?

good point dazeykat "Quaverflava" obviously dosent have children

can you afford to leave? are you financially better off after taking nursery fees into account?
