Ah, well done Elli! And thanks for organising the facebook group. As an aside do you know if what we post on the winter baby club wall on fb is only visable to members of that group or is it seen by everyone? Bit of a numpty when it comes to such things.


I agree that it would be really lovely to see any of the mums that came along to the pre baby meet ups but haven't, for whatever reason yet been to the post baby meets. I was just saying to Mr Tomo what a lovely bunch you all are. I feel very lucky to have had this thread and the opportunity to meet you all!

Hi,


Good question! I was wondering whether to put this info in the above post but decided it might be a bit wordy if I did!

The fb group is a closed group - anything that is posted is only visible to members and only members can post. Becoming a member is by request or invitation but any member can accept a request or offer an invitation. The only reason for making it a closed group was so that people can put their addresses up for a gathering or other details without worrying that they were available to the whole world.


Tomo, I also feel very lucky to have this thread, I've met some really lovely people through it and would love to catch up with some that I met pre baby. I didn't do NCT and baby arrived before my third NHS class so I have really appreciated the community of this thread for support and shared love of cake.

PS Thank you again Family Room Moderator for setting up the thread in the first place!

Thank you so much Elli for being so clever, technical and organised, this is wonderful to have. I can only third the comments above about the genius of this thread. Having not done NCT this time round, I've loved having the chance of meeting all of you that would never have happened without it. Thanks also Tomo and Elli for clarifying who can see the comments on the Facebook page - twas wondering that meself! x

I am afraid I am one of those ones that came to the earlier pre-birth meets and have never been seen since. Sorry! I think I got lucky with a supportive ante-natal group and then on other days I just didn't manage to make it out of the house!

I've joined the group on facebook and would like to try and come along to meet some of the babies at some point in the near future.

Lovely to hear the group has been such a lifeline for so many - hoorah for the East Dulwich Forum!

Yep i completly agree! I never went to nct classes and worked untill about 35 wreks so hadnt met anyone! So glad i decided to be brave and meet you wonderful ladies! And of course all those cute babies! Has made me feel alot more sane and human to have people understand exactly how i feel!

Hi all


Haven't been on the thread in ages! Glad everyone is well and interesting to hear about FB group.


Wondered if anyone is going to take toddlers to the Hornimann next Tuesday afternoon (28th August) for the 3 Billy Goats Gruff performance?


Thinking of taking Oli out of nursery for it and hoping its a nice afternoon for a picnic

    • Well, what a huge surprise! So, while the council digs up local footpaths to plant trees and 'green' the roads, it simultaneously offers up our parkland to private hire for a further extended period of annual damage.  It is hard to see from the map, but it looks as though the footpath that was formerly available to walk along the length of the event site of old will now also be partially used up by the new footprint, it looks like it will be partly roped off? I love how the final council report advise that 'while locals will be unable to use this nicer part of the park for a month ( and actually much of summer as it all gets churned up and has to be reseeded) that this is fine as they can just use the Common instead.    It feels wrong that the nicer part of the park is given over for festival use. I do not buy that, as has been stated, the Common is just not big enough for the Gala event.
    • No sympathy, collect rain water, reuse grey water from the house.  Plant drought gardens.  Have yellow grass in the summer, it will turn green again,.  Not sure why on earth we have this term hard working families - suggests that everyone else is lazy.  Kids cost money and that can continue until they are well into adulthood!  You make your own choices, and it is right that if you use more water you pay more.  I expect most of us have cut our water usage since going onto a meter.
    • Lheda has now been coming for over a year and has been great. She also knows which cleaning products are best to use and recommends products that we need - which have made a big difference.
