Gerry! Thank you so much for coming out to see my tenant's flat literally at no notice. Sorted the issue for them and so honest and easy to deal with. I can't say that about many tradespeople these days but Gerry is now my speed dial 1 for plumbing! Thanks so much again.

Very helpful!! Thank you!

Hi all, Does anyone have this combination? I am trying to make it work but I find that the lascal board connectors are getting in the way of the brakes working properly...almost like the fittings are just too wide for the buggy? Does anyone else find this or am I doing something wrong? If anyone can send me pics of how they have attached it that would be great!

Has anyone done this and got any tips? I thought I might give it a go (11 month old girl) for the remaining month of my maternity leave as figured the nursery won't put in as much effort and time as I can... any tips appreciated!

Thanks!

Does anyone know if there are printed maps this year of which houses are open and where we might be able to find them?

.

great nappy tips! hadn't thought of that!

This is great! Thanks so much. Sounds like it could be more relaxed than I am anticipating :) Thanks all!

Hi all, I may need to do a long haul 14 hour flight in the new year and wondered if any seasoned travellers out there had any tips to make it as easy and stress free as possible! Baby will be 5 months old and is bf so no need to faff around with bottles. Wondering if I can just use the sling as on the other side I will have family waiting for me so they can give me a buggy there. Also will try and get the bassinet seat on the flight. Thanks in advance!

Hi I don't have any experience of one myself but friends have used one and apparently nearest is in Bromley and there is a waiting list of some sort. They say it's good though.

I agree with the comments above that Aria was very responsive and came round quickly but boy was he expensive (I didn't have the energy to haggle with a newborn baby hanging off me).

Hello! Checked with all the neighbours and it isn't any of theirs. Abandoned on Barry Road. If you've lost yours somehow (?!) then please let me know. Thanks!

Hi yep the Pro Beauty Clinic on Hindmans Road do it too.

Does anyone have contact details of 'Danielle' at Southwark council who is dealing with this please?

No doubt a large ugly block will be built instead of anything in-keeping with the houses. Shame the council make us all abide by strict consultation rules when wanting to do any planning but they can choose how to apply their own rules when it's their land.

Yes keen on fbook idea too!

What's the weed underneath the main plant? We have lots of that sprouting everywhere.

Hi, we are moving to Neighbourhood Vets after an absolutely appalling experience with Lordship Lane Vets. Got a huge bill for an operation (over ?100 more than the maximum we were told it could be) and when I asked for a report of what they did in the operation I received a few scribbles. Complete scammers. Vets are as bad as bankers for fleecing the general public.

Thanks all! Love this forum for tips and advice. I think we will go with the cocoon, just for space saving and also as the carrycot may not last too long albeit useful as a replacement moses basket. So difficult to decide but everyone's tips have been very helpful. Thanks all.

Hi, I haven't signed up to NCT but I have signed up to Bump Baby and Beyond with Ariadna Sole which is meant to be good and similar to NCT I believe. She was recommended to me by my midwife and also the sessions are held above a pub so the husband was happy with that prospect!

For those due in September thought I'd point this out if anyone is interested... http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?29,1674186

Thanks devsdev - yes that has been my main train of thought, that I will be disrupting the baby is sleeping by fiddling around with the straps etc. Decisions decisions! As an aside, it's incredibly difficult to find second hand bugaboo carrycots on ebay!

This is all very helpful, thank you!
