We'll still be here anyway...haven't made it inside yet as sleepy boy is no longer sleepy!

I'm at Peckham rye cafe so if its ok I will wait around to meet up? I only know a few people, so I'm inside clutching a cup of coffee! Have a black bugaboo, and a (hopefully sleeping....) boy Kelly x

Hi I can't make it today because of midwife, but hope to join you next week with our new arrival Ben. Good luck Deseree and to anyone else I haven't met yet.

Hi Sorry I couldn't make it on Monday, still no baby news yet! I think this Monday is looking a little unlikely, but hope to be able to make a meeting soon - maybe on Monday week? Hope all is going well for everybody x

Hi Can meet up today if you fancy it? I am a few days overdue and climbing the walls listening to Jeremy Kyle screaming on tv, so would welcome the chance to meet for a coffee! We could meet early this afternoon on lordship lane? Kells

Hi Shall we say Tuesday at 11 at Peckham Rye cafe then? If I can't make it I'm sure I can catch up with you all another time! I might have a one day old by then, but he doesn't seem in any particular hurry!

I know that feeling too! I hope you don't mind, I've pm'ed you as well - I am due on Monday, so may or may not be able to make it. Would love to meet up though, so am sure we can sort something out. Overwhelmed doesn't come close and congratulations on the new house - there seems to be a lot around for mums here so I'm sure we'll enjoy it

Hi, At the risk of hijacking the spring babies thread ( I think their's is a regular meet though so hopefully not) do you fancy meeting up tomorrow (Friday 5th march) at about 1pm, maybe for tea and cake at one of the cares on lordship lane? I would have suggested a park, but its only April, maybe we should hide from the snow ;)

Is it ok if I come along next week? If baby doesn't appear before then anyway! Is it a regular meet up? Thanks Kells

I'll let you know, I'm due on 8th so fingers crossed will be there shortly (though hopefully not for too long though!) but I have heard good things about it, and at least you know that the midwives have the experience. She says confidently......

I agree with PGC. Predictably. But I also want a house with land (possibly Surrey?), turnout, hacking, and to be able to afford not to work. I know, it's not much to ask!

Haribo. Not as much as previously, but you just have to eat more of them!

Karrie - thanks, that's a big help. Sometimes I lose patience, I know I shouldn't, but my friend is a bit prone to depression and I can't seem to get her out of it, as I'm a bit short on practical advice. So any tips are appreciated.

A friend of mine has it. I'm afraid I'm not too much help - I've tried to think of a job she'd be good at, but I can't. She manages, but everything takes her longer than anybody else. And she does things like forget she has a cat. ontheedge - your post sounds exactly like her, any tips you have would be appreciated!

You two definitely don't need a bookies! I can just imagine it....

The best thing about the iphone is the Spotify app. Anything else, I could happily go without.

I'll Sleep When I'm Dead - Bon Jovi

Thanks for the Spotify links, I'm getting so bored of my ipod (only 2 post 2008 albums on there)

Flowers in the Window - Travis

I'm not sure that they will much longer. From about 18-24 years old, I had a part time job in a bookies, and even then I think most of their shops were running at a loss. It's nice though, even when I go back to my parents now (8-9yrs later) it's still the same people in the shop, and they recognise me. But I think that's another problem - in one of the shops there were only 2 regulars who were under 30. At the moment I think the demographic in betting shops don't all necessarily have access to the internet and betfair, betdaq etc, so they still go to shops. But it doesn't seem to be the social place that shops were when I worked there. Plus I think there's too much poor racing, and all these annoying lottery draws every 10 mins just annoy people. Fewer and fewer dog tracks as well. I know I over sentimentalise it, but it was honestly the most interesting part time job I had, and that's just my opinion. Well, you did ask..... I thought there were some bookies on here? Oh, the above, and the fact that most people don't have too much disposable cash at the moment, for obvious reasons. I want my old job back!

Don't let them disillusion you. They're just jealous.

I'm going to be eating seafood salad for years, until I get it right ;)

Hehe. I should've realised the potential.... *trying to be good, this is a public board:))

Thanks, it was only last week....I'll have a look. Tried making it up, but it didn't work! Genius idea though, I always forget things like that.

Dulwich and Sydenham Hill Golf Club? Don't know about prices, but it's on Grange Lane, off College Road.
