hello, I have just stumbled upon this thread and would love to meet up - am I too late? (I'm east dulwich based). We have one little boy who's nearly three, and we won't have any more because of my ancient age, dodgy back, and all that kind of thing. All his peers are just starting to get brothers and sisters, and I am starting to (very mildly)freak out!

Hi-


Not too late or too old! :-) At worst this will be an excuse to get together for tea and cake with other mothers, and at at best our little group will grow to be a fun and supportive network.


One of the issues parents of only children may face is networking with other parents. For parents of an only child, then sometimes it can be harder to meet other parents too. So my hope this group will be as much about children making friends as parents making friends too. xx

You sound like me! I think this is a great idea Saffron, nice one.

Hello

first of all thank you Saffron for having us, it was lovely to meet you and your daughter, she is ever so cute.

Must add - for any one interested - Saffron is well cool ;-)

I would be keen to meet up again and in particular with mums who have a school age child maybe?

I will open up a separate tread but in the meantime if anyone is interested in setting up a small swimming group and get a private instructor I would like to hear.

My son loves the pools but he is not a natural swimmer I found that he benefitted much more from private lessons. Last year we had a 4 children group and he progressed much more than in a class were he would tend to shy away.

Hi all you lovely parents of singletons!


It's a gorgeous day!! Meeting at mine this afternoon for tea and cake and laughs. (If the weather keeps up this gorgeous sun, we can even shift up the park at the end of my road. If we all decide to do that, I'll leave a note on the Forum, and a note on my front door for any late comers to join us.)

    • Nice to see an AI fantasy in the New Year. And the late nineteenth century language model is well chosen. But what's being described is rubbish. Picturesque rubbish but rubbish nonetheless. Picking up after dogs is a very late 20th century habit, if even that - poo bags weren't a thing until then, even nappy sacks can't date back much earlier than the 1970s.
    • Good sir/ madam, I find your stance on civil discourse deeply disquieting. In an age when so many bury their heads in the sand, refusing to confront even the most modest concerns, one cannot help but be reminded of a far darker era—when complacency and willful blindness paved the way for atrocities on the scale of Nazi Germany. Small problems, if left to fester, can swiftly grow into monstrous evils that threaten the very fabric of our society. Allow me to draw upon a memory from my own family history to illustrate the gravity of this point. During the Blitz, when bombs rained down upon London night after night, my mother still found the resolve to pick up after our beloved Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Petuna. Even in the face of unimaginable chaos, she refused to shirk her basic responsibilities. Such simple acts of care and integrity, even under fire, stand as a testament to the kind of unwavering diligence we ought to uphold in more peaceful times. Hence, I beseech you to look inward and examine what else you might be letting slip by with your ostrich-like aversion to conflict. Far too often, those who choose not to see are the ones who unwittingly allow true dangers to flourish. By refusing to speak out or engage, we risk enabling the very forces that degrade our communities and tear at the seams of our shared humanity.
    • Hello all - The Met have advised me that my car, stolen on New Year's Eve, is still in the area as the license plate has pinged on the NPR system a few times. But they are not able to know where it actually goes, as it's being driven around, and so cannot recover it. So if - on the off chance - anyone happens to see it, parked or moving: 2004 grey SmartCar, soft top, plate LB04 FTU, I would appreciate it if you could let me know where and when. A quick text is all I need: 07748 654889. Every other aspect has already been dealt with. Just trying to recover myself. Many thanks in advance.  
    • Thanks for the tip @buffruffly.  We've had Richard here all week refurbing our sash windows. He's done a great job and we are pleased with the craftsmanship and the value. He is very polite and tidy too.  Unfortunately, for others looking for his help, he just told me as he is now in his 60s, he may move onto doing something else as it is quite hard manual work.
