Hi there! Just to let anyone on here know who is interested I run Gluten Free Gathering - events that are entirely gluten free. NExt meet up is at Bird in Shoreditch for GF fried chicken! Please share with anyone you know who may be interested? http://www.glutenfreegathering.co.uk/ http://www.edibleexperiences.com/p/214832125/Gluten-Free-Gathering

Hi Just wanted to recommend Laurant Webb who has just completed decorating our hall stairs and landing, plus 2 bedrooms. The standard of the work is beautiful. The attention to detail is far beyond what I would have done. They were the tidiest tradesmen we have ever had and I am truly thrilled with the work. Not only this, but he was really accommodating of our family situation. I needed it to be in the holidays as have a toddler and 6month old baby and did not want to be at home. He did this by bringing in a team of 4 and completed all the work in just one week!!! Search the forum as I did for other great reviews. Cannot recommend Laurant highly enough. He can be contacted on 07776 187667 or [email protected]

Would love one... especially in the early bit of the week and even more if it was all year!

Hi there Just to let you know that the SE22 Tea mornings for new mums in the area starts on thursday 2nd August from 10am. Its a lovely informal get together at my home for tea and cake for a couple of weeks, before the group goes and organises themselves. If you would like to come along, please PM me and I'll send you the details. Many thanks Kim

Not always Tues, just thats how its worked in the past! We're free thurs / fri

Afraid not as we have my mum here this week. Family overload over here! Hopefully next week? Although can do later in the week from thurs

What a lovely thread! It is SO refreshing to see mums being honest about the reality of looking after little ones. I am a stay at home mum of 19month old and even though for one reason or another I haven't worked full time for nearly 3 years, I still miss it. All I would say - like some of the others - definately make sure you get time EVRY week to do things for yourself. I am lucky w/ my partner (although I book in my time in advance to make sure I do it too) but will always do something. Meet with non-child rearing friend, cool knitting group every other tues at the mag, drop in yoga class, meeting other local mums for wine! It is hard though. I feel really guilty when I am at home "playing" but have to remind myself that it part of bringing up kids. Also, there is a stay at home mum group on here most tues morning.

Yep we could do with a trip to the park... Peckham Rye Cafe at 10am? Kim

Hi there Just thought I would let any new mums know about the SE22 NCT tea morning next weds for new mums with babies born between Jan and March this year. Its an opportunity to meet other new local mums and escape the house! I host it at my place, so if you would like to come, please PM me and I will send you the details... No need to be a member of the NCT either... Kim

yes sorry to miss you too... this weather and Oliver walking means my mornings have to be a little bit more indoor activity I'm afraid. Hope there is some good weather on the way so I can wear him out at the park!! Clarissa hope you had a good trip.

Sorry meant to say from 10am!!!

Don't think so Lindsey! But think there is a group forming tomorrow. Looking at the forecast its raining all day, so happy to open my house to fellow SAH Mums! Can't do coffee shops anymore.. that Oliver walked this weekend! UNless there are other preferences. PM me for the address! Kim

HI all Adriana - Just wanted to confirm that you still up for meeting on Weds this week? I am not free tomorrow am afraid, but anyone who wants to join us is welcome. Plans yet to be made. Park weather permintting? Or if ranining happy to host at mine (assuming we aren't hundreds!!) Let me know Kim

I'm up for it... nothing on all week in fact. Still in Easter mode... plans to be made! But yes to Weds adriana. My Oliver is 18months so they can tear it up together!
