Hi Everyone


I'm due with my second at the end of September (first will be approx 19 months - yikes). Are you all still meeting up? Do you still use the forum to communicate? I've noticed talk of a bumps list - is that how you chat now? Anyway, I'd love to come to your next meet up.


hopefully meet some of you soon

all the best in this crazy sticky weather

Hi Jenny,


There is a Facebook group for autumn bumps.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/633764043373883/events/

If you can't join it then let me know and I think I can invite you by email if you PM me your email address.


There hasn't been a meet up arranged for a couple of weeks, but there were some Saturday meets ups at 10am at the dulwich park cafe. Also Wednesday evenings at the Actress pub. I went a long to a couple of Saturdays though last one I went to was only 3 of us. So it would be great to get another one soon. I think I can set one up on the Facebook group for Wednesday evening next week - anyone else up for that?


Anna

The next Actress meet up is tomorrow night at the Actress (8pm) and the next Dulwich Park Cafe meet up is this Saturday at 10am. I haven't set these up on FB but Emailed round just over a week ago. I have organised meet ups so they happen every two weeks. Have already added Jenny to the FB group. the group is private so invites are by email only. There is also an email list which I add people to as some bumps are not on FB. x

Hello lovely ladies!


I am expecting our first baby at the end of September and would love to meet with other mommies!

Not a big FB user but if it's the only way you arrange the meet ups, will make an effort to log on :)

I will pm my details and hope to join you for a nice chat and 'a cuppa' soon :)


Julia


P.S. I live in Forest Hill, so if anyone lives 'round the corner of FH' - would be happy to meet more often x

Hi Can you add me to your email list, my baby is now nearly 5 months old, so a bit late joining you, but I think he's getting bored of just me ! My daughter is at school so morning or early afternoon meet ups are good for me :-)

Thanks

Millie

Hi MrsBP15 - congratulations! This thread is actually for Autumn 2014 babies, so we all have 5-6 month olds now! The administrator should start the Autumn 2015 bumps thread soon (I think it started around March/April last year) so I'd keep checking the forum. It's a really lovely idea and I've met some fab mums through this so do sign up once your bump thread is available. Best of luck with everything x

    • Gone to the better hunting grounds during this local ongoing dry spell.
    • The Dreamliner has an impeccable service history, you are more likely to get mugged on the way to the airport than having any issue with your flight, that's how safe it is!  Have a great trip.
    • Maybe. Does that kill grass? If so, possibly the same dog that has left its poo outside my house - pretty sure it's not fox poo.
    • Here you are, intexasatthemoment (you seem to have been in Texas for a very long time!) We went to three of the recommended places yesterday,  as they were all in the same road (just near Wallington)  and I needed to give the car a run to avoid another slap on the wrist from my garage (and another new battery). Here's my findings. BARNES Parking We thought we would go here first as it was the earliest to close on a Sunday (3pm). There was no apparent entrance or anywhere to park. One notice said do not park on grass verge, and another one said staff cars only! Flittons was opposite but I'd already passed the entrance, so I had to drive down the road, turn round at the next available place (covered in signs saying do not park here) and park in Flittons car park! Plants Barnes  specialise in hardy perennials, so that was basically what they had, but an excellent selection, and many more unusual plants (or at least, plants you probably wouldn't find in a garden centre), eg Corydalis,  lots of different varieties of Epimediums, Trollius, some lovely Phygelius, lots of different ferns). The plants were divided into sections according to whether they needed sun or shade or could cope with both. They had a particularly good selection of  shade loving plants. There was really useful information above  each group of plants, which meant you didn't have to look at individual labels. All the plants looked in good health and  very well cared for. They don't produce a printed catalogue, but they  said their plant list was online (I haven't looked yet). I assume most of  the plants they have at any one time are when it's their flowering season (if they flower). I wasn't intending to buy anything, though was very tempted, but I'd definitely go here again once I've sorted out my overgrown garden. Other Stuff Don't think they sell pots, compost, etc. No cafe/tea room and I didn't see a loo, but Flittons is just over the road. FLITTONS  Parking Easy to park Plants Sorry, but mostly terrible. There was one section with vegetables and the rest was flowering plants. There was a general feeling of delapidation. Some of what was on display was actually dead (surely it would only take a minute to remove dead plants) and a lot of the rest was very poorly maintained, eg gone to seed, weedy, apparently unwatered, or with a lot of dead leaves. There was a notice asking for volunteers to work there, so I can only assume they can't afford to pay staff. Other stuff There was a notice to a play barn (?) saying invited people only, so I think they must host kids' parties or something. They redeemed themselves with a cosy little cafe with savoury stuff, nice cakes, iced chai and oat milk, and a loo. Also a selection of books and CDs on sale for charity. If you want an Andrews Sisters CD, you can find one here. There is a small shop with gift shop type stuff and a display of the history of Flittons, which apparently is family owned since the sixties (I think it was). I suspect that the arrival of Dobbies down the road must have greatly affected Flittons' fortunes, which is sad. DOBBIES  Parking Easy in theory once you had navigated a rather narrow entrance, but it was very busy so it took a while to find a space. Plants  Lots of plants, well maintained but I imagine their turnover is high. Lots of nice bedding plants for hanging baskets, window boxes etc  to cater for all tastes (ie some of it wasn't mine, but fine if you like those horrid little begonias (my opinion only) but they did have some nice (in my opinion) stuff as well. I was tempted but decided to buy from North Cross Road market. Fair selection of climbers, various different Clematis etc. I'd be happy to buy plants from here. The prices seemed reasonable and they were in good condition. Other stuff  It's a big garden centre with all that entails these days, so a large area selling garden furniture and storage, tools, animal collars, pots, all the usual stuff you would expect. Very helpful staff. There's a cafe which we didn't check out, charging points for electric cars, a Waitrose (no idea how big, we didn't look). Only on our way out did we see that there was a drive through "express section" for compost etc, which was annoying as I wanted compost and hadn't seen any anywhere,  but I was getting tired by that time. Just Down the Road A ten minute drive away is Wilderness Island, a nature reserve in Carshalton, which is well worth a visit. We heard eleven different kinds of bird (according to Merlin) and saw a Kingfisher flying down the tiny river!
