Great-thank you!

Hi Has anyone got the number/website for the SLTC? Or can recommend anywhere for the Chicken Pox vaccine locally-aware this thread from last summer. Thanks

A scam because on Friday night a guy knocked on at least 2 doors on Chadwick Road (the lower one way bit) saying he'd just moved into the street - with a similar tale about his car and wanting ?10/?20. Fortunately most of us know each other on the street so we usually know if someone has moved away/moved in. Between 11 of us we're letting our whole street know - it works when people are caught off guard and think someone genuinely needs help - there is an old thread on here about this scam and also about break ins linked to it. I would let the police know - the people on our street have.

Hello and welcome to any newcomers - we've met 3 times so far - the next meet is Sunday 6 December, 10am brunch, location TBC. Send a PM so you can be added to the FB group as all the chat is happening on there. J

I gave up on 'kids' water bottles as they always leaked - use these now, never leaked when twisted shut and haven't yet leaked when left open. Plus holds a good amount for long days out. http://www.evanscycles.com/products/camelbak/podium-big-chill-bottle-750ml-ec059702?country=GB&currency=GBP&esvt=1212-GOUKE255478&esvq=&esvadt=999999-0-37932-1&esvcrea=61231496816&esvplace=&esvd=c&esvaid=50080&gclid=CO3IjvWD-cgCFcafGwod7zkJTg

Poxclin was brilliant-got it from Boots-easy to apply and seemed to stop the itching so no scars. Good luck!

Thanks Verds - thanks really good to know.

Hi-sorry to high jack but would love to know the same as the OP-feel free to pm me also. Thanks.

My Dad was born there in 1939, we're trying to find out the same (as the maternity wards may have moved over the years) if we have any luck I'll let you know.

This morning was great - FAR more welcoming than the Gardens! I'm keen for the cinema too - see you there! x

I don't have a funny story to cheer you up but yours has made me laugh out loud! thank you! and well done for saying something - you've given me the courage to do the same when I next need to.

Brilliant! Elizabeth, I think this is my favourite SB post yet! Anyone going to the Crooked Well tomorrow? Hope you and babies aren't too hot. Jo x

Does anybody use real nappies? PM me if you do as starting to feel I could now attempt to reduce my 'environmental disaster' (Arthur). If anyone is thinking about it I think the local Nappy Lady expert is giving a talk at the Ivydale Children's Centre that I think I'll go to if you fancy...I do need some convincing that it's manageable!! a friend had a good go this week - she made it look simple! Thanks Jo

I can do either dates. Emma and I were just talking about some drinks one evening - perfect. Big boy Arthur nearly got showed up by Amelie today at swimming...but he managed to man up and hold it together and took two dips under with no tears! (just a bit of a quivering bottom lip).

Crumpets, wine...this is the best group to be a part of. Been on holiday (Wales with NO rain - seriously I kid you not) so have missed meets ups for a few weeks and now have swimming sessions on Tues for 5 weeks - if I'm organised I might get to the Gardens early tomorrow, about 10/10.30...hope to see you (you can see how my weird child is even BIGGER).

Hello, I can't make it tomorrow, but just got back from the picnic area now-was lovely! Enjoy and see you all soon. Jo

My (welsh) other half won't be impressed but could be fun!? http://www.southwark.gov.uk/events/event/1786/

http://www.southwark.gov.uk/events/event/1786/ It's not the weekend. Sure they'll be other stuff too.

I'm keen!and just think how rewarding the crumpets will be.

Ladies... We need to organise paying the bill at the meet ups. Both times at the Gardens meet up the last person to leave has ended up paying for unclaimed coffees/cake etc which is pretty rubbish - today that was Emma and I - only one coffee this time thankfully (anyone want to reimburse us for a decaf americano we'd be grateful as makes it an expensive meet). Last poor Laura paid 5quid extra. I'm sure everyone paid for their orders (although tired Mum's may be forgetful?!) more likely the cafe are mucking up the bill but there's no way of disputing that once everyone has gone. I think the only fair way is you go to the counter to order and pay right away so there isn't a bill - what do others think? Need to work something out - I won't be able or want to keep coming if I have to pay double! Thanks Jo

sorry Jane!! welcome Dexter! xx What time are people meeting today?

WOW congratulations Jane and welcome Max - so happy for you - what an amazing birth! rest up and see you both soon. xx

Rosie/Jenny/Rebecca - there must have been something in the air yesterday - Arthur cried all day unless I fed him! Today a different baby! So lovely to see everyone today - that meet up totally revived me and cheered little A up loads - so today was a good day! I'm keen for the monday and Tuesday meet up. x
