Hi everyone!

I am another late newcomer to the thread - Aggie, mum of Archie born on the 5th of Sept :).

Congratulations to all ladies that already had their babies and good luck for still expecting ones!

I can't believe how could I have missed this thread for so long but I am totally up for a meet-up with other mums! Definitely IN for next Monday (or Tuesday ;-) coffee!

Hello, I can do this Mon, and will normally be able to do Tuesday's, but not this week. I think Mon 10.30 at the Gardens sounds great and look forward to seeing others then - perhaps we can start the same thing for Tuesdays at the Dish and Spoon? I have only the one child, but love to be out and about so welcome outdoor activities as well with toddlers.

I'm quite close to Dulwich park, which with it's cafe and outdoor play areas might also be an ideal place for future meets?

Take care,

Kate

Would love to join these meet ups but can't make next Monday. Dulwich park sounds nice, perhaps we could go there as suggested by Kate for the following meet up? Mon / tues both fine for me for the week after next. (not 8th/9th but 15th/16th)


Carine - could you please share where are these baby massage class on Monday? Think my 3 weeks old Sheldon would be interested too!

Sounds like a good plan ladies, sorry I can't make this Monday, but will hopefully be there next week depending on when my baby actually arrives (she's due this Friday, and after a few manic weeks of uncharacteristic domesticity, I'm certainly ready now to meet her!). Congrats to everyone on recent arrivals, xx

Good luck Lovelyrita!


I can do this coming Monday but not Tuesday, although Tuesdays are normally free so the following week Tuesday would work. So Kate, Bexterboo and Aggie, I will definitely be on for meeting up at The Gardens on Monday at 10.30am - looking forward to seeing you there.

Congratulations Caroline! I hope all going well.


I should be able to make it again this Monday, though I may be a bit late as I have the boiler man in (getting all the household chores done before baby no 2 comes!)


I will have my almost 3 year old with me again but she enjoyed the last meet with Kate (and Charlie) and Rachel (and William).


See you then

Dreamaholic, the baby massage I'll be doing is at The Vale - but I think the classes may be full already. There are meant to be some at the clinic on East Dulwich Road too. If you can't find anything I've got my handouts from first baby - it's not that difficult, I just wanted the excuse to socialise!

Hi all, have been following this thread but unfortunately not yet attended any of the meetups - hope to meet some of you soon! My second is due Nov 18. In the meantime, just a thought, for you ladies expecting no 2 (or 3 or 4..) in November..

As some of you may have already discovered, the NCT only has one session of their "refresher" course locally in all of the autumn/winter 2012 and it is fully booked! Luckily a very good local midwife (Ariadna Sole) who

regularly runs courses for first time parents, is now offering a short refresher as well.


Thought I would mention it in case there are others out there that would be interested - I thought it would be good to get back in the new mother mind frame (feels like absolutely ages ago), as well as meet other mums in the area. And best of all the course is short! (Hard to find time when you've got other kiddies to look after)


Would be really nice to get a good group of us together for the course +afterwards too! Hope to see you there.


Dates/details/contact info for Ariadna and the course are here:

Hi girls,


Congrats to Fiona on the birth of Esme - very pleased for you!


For those of us still waiting - have you heard about the new government directive re Whooping Cough vaccine for pregnant women? Due to a spike in cases they are now offering the vaccine to all pregnant ladies between 28-38 weeks to try and then pass on some immunity to the unborn baby. I called my surgery (DMC crystal palace rd) 10 days ago as soon as I read about it as I was almost 37 weeks by then. No one had heard of it and no supplies had at that stage been sent - I think the government had published the advice before communicating fully with surgeries/ midwives etc


Anyhow - they called me Friday and invited me in for a quick jab with the practice nurse. I also bumped into another Autumn mum to be who was having it at the same time.

Sorry - pressed 'Post' before finished!

Was just going to add it might be worth calling your surgery to see if they have got supplies in and how they are dealing with it - ie a walk in clinic or individual appointments.


Also - I think they are giving it to those over 38 weeks too to try and pass on immunity in the time we have left...

Hello autumn mums, I'm around tomorrow for a meet up so will waddle along to the Gardens tomorrow morning (can't figure out if it's 10am or 10.30?). I'll have my almost 3 year old with me, but no newborn - she's due today but no signs of her yet!).

Hello, 10.30 was the meeting time for Monday's so perhaps we can stick with that? I know I can always use an extra half hour... Also, would anyone be interested in sorting a meeting time for Thurs or Fri at Dulwich Park? Perhaps the aft?

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By malumbu · Posted

      People are switching to electric cars irrespective of fuel prices.  100s of millions that could be spent on hospitals and schools for example have been lost due to fuel duty freezes and a supposedly temporary reduction.  Fuel is relatively cheap at the moment.  With a stonking majority when is it time to rightly take on motorists? Farming, I simply referred to Paul Johnson of the IFS who knows more about the economy that you, I and Truss will ever know. Food?  Au contraire.  It's too cheap, too poor quality and our farmers are squeezed by the supermarkets and unnatural desire to keep it cheap.  A lot less takeaways and more home cooking with decent often home produced, food should benefit most in our society. Be honest you do t like Labour.

      In fact there was a promotional leaflet came through the letter box today, for sending by RM's parcel post by buying online.  There are also options mentioned for having the labels printed  at a Collect+ store or at a Parcel Locker.  More info at https://www.royalmail.com/.

      Is it? Let's see  Farming is a tough gig with increasingly lower returns, if farms have to sell off land to pay inheritance tax it will reduce their ability to survive. Which in real terms could mean more farm land lost and more reliance on imported food which sees money flowing out, not in to the country.  But I guess as long as you get cheap food that doesn't concern you 😉  Lol "what about the cars"  again Mal... like a broken record....  Governments know that squeezing car drivers for more fuel duty will drive down income from taxes as people switch to electric, which would leave them with a black hole in income. Guess the fuel duty is a fine balancing act tiĺl enough electric cars have been sold to raise tax revenue from their use.
