Hiya

Very jealous of all the meets. I'm back home (have been away for a couple of months working) the week before the next meet but I'm taking my auntie out for her birthday on the 31st so I can't make it. Grrrrr.


BusyB - I'm round Nunhead way!


And I'd love to meet for coffee or summat when I'm back.


Am feeling enormous at the moment and I'm only 27 weeks. I can't believe there's another 13 weeks of growth ahead (if not more!) - that means I'm going to have to be rolled around. Hunger starting to kick in too. I'd been off food for a fortnight then bingo. Ravenous. All the time. Need to make sure I don't eat everything in sight. Step away from the fridge....

At the moment, though, all I want is an Indian take away. A really hot, spicy, chicken curry. yyyyuuuummmm.

Now - that's got nought to do with Baby.

Hi everyone, I agree Saturday afternoon sitting outside was lovely - but the plough certainly didn't make much money from us! Lets hope the 31st is just as nice...


Unfortunately I now can't make it to the playground next Friday, so I'll be keen to arrange another weekday play date soon. Is Friday the best day still?


Hope everyone is keeping well. See you soon!

Hello mums-to-be-around-me,


I live on Copleston Road and am 21 weeks pregnant with my 1st child, due July 25th (eek).


Love your summer babies club. I just can't get my head around how life's gonna change (although I'm sure for the better), so while i'm lucky to have old uni friends nearby in Norwood, buddies in the same boat (who won't be at work) would be brilliant... I'm the first of our friends to have a baby and we have no nieces/nephews so I'm totally clueless, never even met a small baby before!!!


I've just been reading your reassuringly familiar posts, so nice to know my daunting developments are shared by others!


I have only respect for those of you with toddlers. Don't know how I would have got through the first few months without Sarturdays in bed!


My only complaints so far are feeling really knackered, although that's getting better... And having a wildly itchy back(!?)... Still waiting for the promised "glow" to arrive though!


I'm up for coming along to The Plough on March 31st if that's ok? What time?

Hello all.


Ok for a late joiner to pop along on 31st?


Our second baby is expected 12th June and our first will be three in May, she's looking forward to becoming a big sister.


I'm looking forward to my first yoga class at Kings today. If any of you are going you'll probably find me snoring, we've been awake since 3.45?!


Charlotte.

Hi other ED Summer-mums to be,


Look forward to seeing you again on the 31st (plough is good for me), and meeting those that did not make it to the last meet up (Charlotte, Amy and all others!)


Should we say 2pm again? can make it earlier if suits better.

Hi,


Are we still on for this Friday at Goose Green playground say 10AM? I would say by the swings but the chances of baby 1 being happy to sit and be swung for any length of time are unfortunately minimal!


Hopefully I will make it to the plough on the 31st.

Hi all,

I haven't been on here yet but 1st baby due early July. (excited and scared but been pretty lucky with the pregnancy so far) Don't know any other mums locally so would really like to come and meet some of you if there's another get together soon. I work in the week so can only do weekends really.

I've signed up to nct which starts in April but would be interested to know how many others are doing it, or doing the NHS ante natal classes, or both? Although so many people I know in London and elsewhere swear by their nct group getting them through the first few months it strikes me as incredibly expensive as a way of simply meeting others, which by and large seems to be the main appeal of it. What do others think?

Hi All,


I'm due on June 15th. We have a son already who will be 4 in June. Would love to come to one of your meetings. Heard about the Plough on the 10th from a friend. I think I can make the 31st so would like to come too with the family if that's ok?

Hello Summer Mummies,

Am thrilled to have found this group (at the recommendation of a friend who had her first last year). I am expecting to just squeeze into the 'summer' group as I'm due 23rd Aug with our first. Would love to come and meet some of you on Saturday (assuming you are still taking new-comers?!) Am sure I read somewhere that the time was 2pm on the 31st, but I now can't seem to see that detail anywhere - is that right?

Hope you are all keeping well and enjoying the sunshine!

Hoping to join you on Saturday - 2pm at the Plough - we move house on Friday (eek), and will no doubt require a break from the boxes and dismantled furniture - we may all come (dh and dd) or just me and dd. Looking forward to meeting you all x

Hi all,


I will be a second time mum, with toddler of 2 years +3months. Can't quite get my head around having two little people to take care of soon... scary thoughts as I felt there was not enough time in a day first time round...


Nice to see there will be so many new summer babies.


Keen to meet up with mums and toddlers and soon-arriving newborns.

Hi there,


I haven't joined you all yet, but one of the lovely Mums through the Lanes Midwifery Practice told us she was coming along on Saturday.


Would love to come and meet you. I've already got a little boy who turned 4 yesterday and am due on June 23rd.


OK for a newbie to pop along with her little chap?

Hi there ladies


I have just found this thread & wanted to join in the fun :-)


I'm a first time mum to be & we found out recently we're having a little girl :-) Due date is the 19th of June so it's lovely to see how many of us are all in this together! I'm also very new to the ED area so I'm looking forward to meetups and summer sun! x

Hello,


Congratulations to you all! I'm a latecomer but hope you don't mind me joining in. I'm due on 3 June with a little girl, our first. I'm fairly new to the area and would love to meet other summer mums, so I'll keep an eye out for the next meeting and hope to join you then.


Take care,


Dervla

Hello everyone,


I was sorry to miss you all yesterday in the Plough, hope you had a good time.


I am in a similar situation to Kristy - housing moving chaos. However I am delighted we have finally got in as the flat we're moving from is tiny, above a shop and involves a lot rickety steep wooden stairs - not very buggy friendly.


Right, back to B and Q for me.


BusyB - I am now v.near Nunhead, aside from the temporarily closed Rye, the old Nun's head is my local - their spring rolls are amazing!


Has another meet up date been arranged? - hope so.

Hello folks, hope all are well. It was so lovely to see SO MANY PEOPLE at the Plough yesterday! I can't believe how many of us there are due this summer.


Given the size of our group, a proposal was mooted that we have a very regular meet-up - say, every other Saturday - so then people can just drop in whenever they fancy. If you can't make it one week, there'll be another very soon afterwards.


That would mean the next meet-up date would be 14 April, followed by 28 April and so on from there.


What do people think? The Plough seemed to work very well as a venue for a very large group (and hopefully as the weather gets warmer it'll be even better) but I'm totally easy on where we meet. If there are other suggestions, please make them!


Otherwise, shall we say every other Saturday, 2pm at the Plough?


Looking forward to getting to know everyone better.


Julie xx

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By Earl Aelfheah · Posted

      Farmers aren't being gifted anything; Their heirs are being gifted millions of pound worth of income generating assets by chance of birth. An estate that they have done nothing to earn. Most farms worth under £3m will still end up being passed on tax free. Those that do have to a pay inheritance tax will do so at just 20% on that part which is over the threshold (rather than the standard 40%), and they'll have 10 years to do so (usually it is payable immediately). So it is still preferential terms for those being gifted a multimillion pound estate So to repeat my previous question... Why do you think people coming into a massive, unearned windfall shouldn't pay any tax, but a nurse who works hard for everything they earn, should pay tax?

      We recently used Jan at Silver Fern for some fencing and driveway works, he also built a side return shed which is now a water tight space for storage.    Would certainly recommend speaking to Jan for gardening or landscaping needs. http://www.silverfernlondon.co.uk [email protected]

      And the latest shocker, Inflation this morning was 2.3% up from 1.7& the previous month, a 0.6% increase in a month, that is dreadful. So Robber Reeves plan is already working (NOT). Inflation has begun to increase and will continue to do so, I predict the next set of unemployment figures will show a rise. Neither of these things can be blamed on the last Govt, it's down to the inept budget and impact it is having already.

      Andrews and Arnold are brilliant https://www.aa.net.uk/. If there's any problems someone picks up the phone on the 2nd or 3rd ring and several times they have rung me immediately after I sent an e-mail. As they are primarily B2B, their support is excellent and there are a lot fewer miscommunications with OpenReach. Go to their website and enter your postcode which will show you exactly what type of broadband is available in your area.
