Hi Lucy, I'd be interested in your french language tutored playgroups. Have you more details on those? Thanks, Bethan

Hi all, Shall we set a date to meet in the new year to discuss this? Would a weekdays in January be possible? Perhaps we could meet at the French House on Lordship Lane - they have a play area downstairs where our little ones could be entertained. Are people keen for meeting the week of 16th Jan? Cheers, B

Hi Abiba, That sounds like it could be a good idea. Also, what about setting up a whatsapp group for all those that would like to get involved? That way it will be easier to plan get togethers and add newcomers. If people would like to DM me their numbers, I can get a group going. Cheers, B

Hi all, I have just seen this thread - just after posting my own basically asking the same questions! I have a 5 month old boy and speak to him exclusively in French. I would be very interested in joining a French playgroup and if it needed setting up from scratch would be keen to help make this happen! Cheers, B

Hello there, I'm expecting my first mid July and I'd love to meet mums in the area. I will send in my number - it would be great to get added on to the whatsapp group and try to join a meet up soon. Thanks, Bethan

Andy came yesterday to fit some shelves, blinds and a mirror for us and did a fantastic job, right from the start. Really quick at getting back to me on the phone, was able to come a bit earlier to fit around my schedule, and the quality and tidiness of the job was second to none. And all for a reasonable price. Plus he likes dogs and that's always a bonus! Thanks.

Have you been doing some painting with oil based paints? Eg: gloss or satinwood. This starts emitting very strong gas aromas when the hobs are switched on. Totally normal and not harmful. Just open a window when cooking.
