Definately got some toys they can have that mine have grown out of.

I too struggled with breastfeeding, but in the end switched to bottles, and both me and baby were a lot happier. I used to put freshly boiled water in a bottle and then in an insulating bag and take that out and about with the powder in a dispenser, takes seconds to make up. Mine would never take a cold/lukewarm bottle so this worked well for me, and as others have said cafes are always happy to heat up a bottle. For night feeds I would take bottle, dispenser and a bottle warmer up to bed and then it just took a few minutes to heat the bottle and I didn't need to get out of bed and go downstairs to do it! Don't feel guilt over not being able to breastfeed, it isn't worth it. I'm sure all the pressure I had to breastfeed with my first added to my PND. Bottle feed and be proud about it!

St John's & St Clements shut again tomorrow.

This is so much fun.

Last night a bike was stolen from outside our house in Wingfield Street, bolt croppers cut the lock and off they went. Then this morning I noticed a chap taking the wheel off the bike of a neighbour bold as brass in broad daylight - I made the mistake of thinking he was repairing a tyre and just ignored him, but it tuens out the swine was nicking the wheels. However, the sixth sense was working slightly and I made a mental note of the lousy beggar: 6 ft tall, white, black curly hair, generally grubby looking, wearing grey top and balck addidas shell suit trousers. He had his own bike with him - black mountain bike style and carried a black rucksack with red trim. If you see him - challenge him. I've given the description to the boys in blue.

Glad you're all OK Trish, and as others have said it wasn't your fault. If there is a plus side to this, it's the thrill (?) we all got from seeing the helicopter land with such skill on Goose Green, amazing piece of flying. My thoughts are with you and the poor chap who fell.

Not tried foam guards, but when travelling with no bed guard I find a few big books (which most houses have) placed under the mattress at the side creates enough of a slope so as to prevent said child rolling out. Cheap too!

Got my letter this morning, definately opening on 21st September (next Monday). Woo hooo!

My son has been going for a year now, and is due to go back 21st September (can't be soon enough!). If I haven't heard back from Carol I shall just show up on the day and hope it's open.

I e-mailed Carol a couple of days ago, but haven't heard back yet. Anyone else heard anything?

I had a letter a while ago saying there were problems with the lease and Puddleducks would be reopening on 21st September. I really hope it's no longer! Haven't tried contacting Carole though.

My wee man is just coming up on 4 and is still in a night time nappy. He wants to get rid of it and I've told him if it's dry in the morning for a week then we will try. He hasn't managed one day yet, so don't think he's quite ready!

Thanks for all the advice, he's had 4 baths today, piraton and a cream I found in Boots for chicken pox. Don't think I'm going to get a good night either, he's waking up every half hour or so because of the itching. Luckily (or not) other half is away so he's in my bed for ease of rubbing.

My son has chicken pox - whoop de doo! Poor we soul is covered in spots, and I know bicarb in the bath is supposed to help, but how much do I put in? A teaspoon/tablespoon/half a pot? Also any other tips on helping him deal with the itching would be great. Thanks

Christmas Tree Farm, other side of Bromley. Cheap and cheerful, my two love feeding the animals.

Letter home today saying 3 confirmed cases, no plans to shut the school.

Can I add St John's & St Clement's Primary School summer fair. Saturday 11th July. We're having cub carts this year (mini go carts), and I've yet to meet a child that doesn't love them! Also a bouncy castle, face painter, BBQ, raffle, toy stall - all the usual things. Great way to spend and afternoon and support a local school!

I've done mine - the only one on the whole street. Very satisfying!

I used to work there when it was Save the Children. Might just have to go and have a nosey round, see what they've done with the inside.

But why would you want to walk you dog in a dog-free area? I like that I can take my kids in there to play and know that (hopefully)there won't be any dog poo. I will miss the fence when it's gone and hope that they do decide to put it back up. Makes life so much easier when the children are running about not to have dogs running up to them and jumping up at them because they get overexcited with running children.

Yep, the guided walk around with the history and interesting stories and facts is really interesting (I want to say brings the place to life - but just can't!).

Many thanks for that - shall definately be popping along with the kids - they noticed the donkeys on the poster and are all fired up for a donkey ride!

I've had a search but can't find anything. I know this is on today (seen the posters etc), but can't remember what time it starts. Can anyone help me? Thanks.
