I simply wanted to bring my children up myself! No offence to anyone as each to their own but we decided we would make every effort to live off one salary and I'm now a sahm to two under 2 and a half. I will go back to work in some capacity when they reach school age but for now - as an older mum- I'm enjoying raising my girls and seeing them become people! I'm very lucky and am grateful everyday.

I'd be up for that if enough of us can get together!

Dulwich Montessori on College Road behind South Dulwich Church... Lovely.

HI Need some help on this. never used childcare vouchers thru an employer but husband has his own ltd comp and we believe we can make our own vouchers but not sure how all this works.. if anyone's done it etc please PM me if you have any advice.. very gratefully received. thx

yes thanks Loz, did you?

cant believe the tone of some people! Disabled spaces are important and if Parent spaces are provided why should parents not be able to use them!!! I dont have to justify why i have kids, what car i drive and how much my weekly spend is but people using areas that are not designated for them should have to justify it!

My MIL works at a charity shop (not local) and the staff snaffle all the good stuff before it hits the shelves.. yes they pay for it but they get first dibs!!

Hi sounds good. ive got a 2yr old and a 4mth old.. keep us posted..

JOJO do some good belts, they attach onto the belt loop so if you are potty training you only have to undo the trousers and not a belt as well..

2 may be hard straight after lunch but would be interested in an afternoon slot

Hi Ladies/Gents I have no idea what things are offered locally for baby/toddlers, ie music groups, playgroups etc etc but often see mentions on posts of places/groups etc that people go to and wondered if people could list what events happen on what days and where etc so those of us that are in need of ideas to entertain our little ones have a point of reference? thanks!

Hi ladies I have a 21mth old and a 12 week old and im a full time SAHM. I organised a few Park meet ups in the summer which were great but with having another baby and the time of year/weather etc those dropped off. Id love to meet up with some other mums in similar situation and make some friends. 3pm is a little late for me though what with it getting dark early at mo etc but if anyone does a morning meet up id be interested at the moment. Also is it possible to start a thread with details off all the local groups etc that we can all use as ref as ive no idea what goes on locally but would love to be aware of venus and classes etc that happen. thx

enjoy ladies!!! i'm sad i cant make it this week but ive so much to do but im sooooo pleased that everyone is still meeting up and i cant wait to join you all again in a couple of weeks time after my holibobs!. xxxxx

(and Dads too...) PM me for more details or if you cant make that time etc.. Lou

not really your place to berate her.. its her body, her choice however inappropriate others thinks etc. I dont advocate it at all but wouldnt dream of telling someone - a stranger no less- off for doing something like that!.

hi yep id be up for that.. what time and where to meet?

Hi Ladies If anyone fancies meeting up this week, tuesday 20th 2.30pm at main gates (opp picture gallery) would be lovely to meet some more local mums and see those again that have come before!. Bring a blanket and we can find a shady spot to park ourselves - and remember the sunblock,, its supposed to be warm!!! PM me if you want to meet us a bit later and i can give you my mobile so you can text me when there to find out where we are. Lou

Hi Ladies and Little Ones After the great success of the last two weeks 'mums meet ups' in the park to make new local mum friends next weeks meet up (wdc 12th july) will be Wednesday 14th July, meet at 2.30pm at the Main Gates (opp picture gallery). This is a meet up of local and surrounding area mums who have little ones of all ages and are on mat leave or are a SAHM and want to make new local friends in similar situation!. I started it as I was looking for exactly that and have had a great turn out for the first two meets and met some lovely people. Don't be shy, we are all in the same boat. If you would like to come along then see you there, all are welcome, any questions just PM me or if you cant make that day or that time pm me also and I can let you know what else is planned. Looking forward to seeing lots of mums again from the other meets and meeting new ones as well!.

HI Its for anyone to come regardless of babies age - mums need friends too! and yes we will have days other than tuesdays so everyone can get involved and meet new friends!. lou

Hi Ladies Just a reminder to everyone that we are hoping to have another meet up this week in dulwich park (weather permitting) after last weeks 1st successful get together. Tuesday 6th July at 2.30pm, meet at the main park gates (opp picture gallery). All child ages welcome, we are just a few mums in Dulwich and surrounding areas hoping to meet other mums and make a few new friends!. PM me if you want any further details or want to come but cant make this time or this week. Lou
