Naughty Mummy

PS, just wanted to say a big thanks to the lovely ladies from Therapy who stayed much later than they intended so they could fit in as many nails as possible! Thanks guys! x

Thanks ladies! Glad you had a good night. I had a great time and it was nice to meet so many lovely people! Although the happy vibes were killed when I got home to a screaming baby who refused to sleep for most of the night! How do they know which are the worst possible nights to do it?!

Looking forward to seeing some of you tonight. Although I am stressing about what clothes still fit post baby! There are a handful of tickets still available for anyone else who fancies a bit of a pamper and a natter! x

Hi - yep, goody bags are named so you and your ladies are right at the top of the list! I am getting excited now, I can almost taste the wine! x

Our goody bags are looking great and it seems that people are falling over themselves to help us all get some pampering! The first 15 people to arrive on the night get a large bottle of bubble bath! Tickets are still on sale, so drop me a line if you'd like to come along. See you on Tuesday!

Will be lovely to meet you! We're taking money on the door anyway, no pre payment, so no worries on that front. I shall pop your name on the guestlist just so that there is a goody bag for you, but of course it won't be a problem if nature decides to intervene! PS there is a Naughty Mummy discount from Therapy for pregnancy (and standard) massage in the goody bag, so that might make the last few weeks more bearable! I lived in there during my last weeks as they have a table with a hole for the bump - it was bliss just to be able to lie on my front!

Hi All, Just a little reminder about our party. Everyone gets a goody bag, but our first 30 tickets are nearly sold, so do let me know if you'd like to come along and we can reserve you one of our fashion treats!! For those who have booked tickets, our lovely friends from Therapy have confirmed they will be there to carry out free treatments from 7pm, so arrive as early as poss to make sure you get some pampering! Let's hope this rain goes away by the 15th. I don't want to do the drowned rat look for my first night out in ages! Nancy

Sorry! I wrote that late last night and forgot the most important info! 15th Dec at Black Cherry Bar. From 7pm, but whenever the night shift allows you out!

Ladies, Things are shaping up really well for our Naughty Mummy Christmas Party! We've had lots of emails, so for those of you have asked for further info... So, what's happening on the night?... Some pampering from our gorgeous friends from Therapy, who will be providing mini beauty treatments. The goody bags are almost complete, with some lovely treats from Hope and Greenwood, Green & Blue and Therapy to name a few and the first 30 people to put their name on the guestlist will also get a little bit of fashion to brighten up their winter wardrobe! All treats to help you indulge yourself for once and save a few pennies over the coming months of gale force winds and darkness! Our butler will greet you with a free drink and make sure that you don't have to queue at the bar! All you need to do is take the weight off your feet and have a natter with some likeminded ladies! Most importantly, a number of you have asked if you can come on your own and the answer is a resounding yes! This is very much an event for treating local mums and helping us all to make a few new friends, so please do come along and we will help you to mingle! Tickets are ?15, please pm me or email [email protected] Looking forward to meeting those of you who are already on our guestlist! x

Nothing derogatory at all Ryedalema! I shall pm you x Thanks Smiler, much appreciated!

Thank you ladies! Thanks for your message Molly - what a thread to come back to! Hmm, the butler on Lordship Lane, now there's a thought. I'd best keep him away from the butchers...

Goodness, how did we get here?! Well, lesson number 1 is not to post something on the forum and then go away for a long weekend! I have to say that this thread is an upsetting read which is a shame when the intention of Naughty Mummy is just to provide a social opportunity for local mums ? nothing sinister! Initially, some valid questions were raised and I would have been really happy to answer them had I been online at the weekend. I shall attempt to answer some of the main comments raised: Naughty Mummy was launched in Wimbledon Village and Putney by my two friends who suddenly found themselves elbow deep in mashed banana without a party in sight. The idea is quite simply to give mums a bit of ?West End? entertainment on our doorsteps ? run by mums, for mums. The launch party was extremely good fun and as such I decided to bring it to East Dulwich - there isn?t anything like it, it stops me having to schlep into town for an alternative to the pub and quite frankly the people I have mentioned it to have been really keen on the idea. The ticket price comes about because we organise entertainment, it is not just a trip to the pub with a pointless cost attached. The goody bags for the launch in Wimbledon Village included special discount vouchers from local restaurants and bars, Molton Brown products and a voucher for a Molton Brown treatment, amongst other things. There were also mini beauty treatments on the night and a drinks butler (oh ok, he didn't have any pants on either!) in addition to a free glass of fizz, music, exclusive use of venue etc. We are looking to replicate this type of event in East Dulwich and are currently finalising the details, but we have some great treats from local businesses. Initial queries about the event were reasonable and useful but it really is not ok to throw around the word scam, merely on the back of a single post that has gone unanswered for a couple of days! If anyone is in any doubt as to the legitimacy of Naughty Mummy, then feel free to email [email protected] and pose any questions or visit our Facebook page to see details and photos of the launch and other upcoming events. For the conspiracy theorists amongst you, this page has not just been mocked up for this thread! In answer to the initial concerns about this being a huge money making scheme, sadly it is not and it?s just not the motivation behind it all! I?m personally fairly new to the area and don?t know anyone other than my NCT friends, so I felt it would be a fun opportunity to be involved with. Due to investment in printing, entertainment and subsidising activities, there is little scope for anything other than earning some pocket money at best. I can assure you, when mat leave finishes, I will be going back to my ?proper? job to pay the bills!! In actual fact, we stand to lose a few pennies for the first few events, so rest assured these parties are only being run for the love of a good knees up and the chance to meet some fellow mums in an environment where I?m not shaking a tambourine with an over enthusiastic 7 month old on my knee! As for the suggestion that some of the ?feistier? posts were myself or anyone affiliated with Naughty Mummy, I can assure you that this is not the case. Had I been here, I would simply have answered the queries with more details of the night and I?m confident that would have been all people needed! I?m not sure that having the opposing view means there must be something underhand at play and surely all of us have had a first post?! Annette Twitcher has revealed herself to be a forum regular and I?m assuming we caught Jodyhatter when she was a bit tired?! Sometimes, things are that simple? I?m all for an open forum and I?ve thoroughly enjoyed being a daily reader of the various informative and amusing threads (and infrequent poster as NL22 if anyone wishes to check my credentials too!). But I also stand by the adage that if you can?t say something nice, sometimes it?s best not to say anything at all! I have loved living in East Dulwich for the past 11 months, but I?m sorry to say the forum isn?t always the most welcoming of places and today is my first taste of that! There are exceptions though and thank you for the supportive messages and emails I have received from some of you. And thanks also to those who have booked tickets. We?ve already sold 18 tickets and the marketing hasn?t actually started yet, so we?re confident it is going to be an excellent night. Specific details of the night will follow very shortly, and in the meantime, I hope to bump into some of you when I?m in my Naughty Mummy t-shirt with fliers in hand! Anyway, thanks to everyone, all constructive feedback is really helpful. I?m sure I shall get plenty more whether I like it or not! I certainly don?t want to provoke anyone but I hope people understand that I wanted the chance to respond to some of the comments that have been made in my absence. Anyway, sorry for the tome! I hope to see some of you on the 15th for something cool and soothing in a glass! Now, I?m off to go and lay down in a very dark room and contemplate whether it?s cool or horrendous to be derided in 2 simultaneous posts! Sob? Love Naughty Mummy x

Tickets for this particular event are ?15 in advance (or ?20 on the door) - this gets you a drink on arrival, a lovely goody bag, entertainment on the night and the chance to meet lots of lovely new people! Ryedalema - you have hit the nail on the head! Ann Summers we are not, we just wanted the chance to inject a bit of glamour and grown up fun back into our lives. Our future events will be based on what our Naughty Mummies ask for, so if you need something a little saucier to get your mojo back in a few months, then just let us know! Thanks for your positive comments ladies. PM me if you'd like to go on our guestlist. x

We are being asked if this event is open to 'mums to be' and the answer is a resounding yes! All mums are very welcome and it will be the perfect opportunity to make a few friends for some maternity leave fun and naughtiness! And if you are as hot and swollen as this Naughty Mummy was, you are probably in desperate need of some pampering!

Remember the days when, at the drop of a hat, you could throw on a pair of heels, douse yourself in Chanel and hit the town armed only with the cab fare home and a twinkle in your eye? No, neither do we! Cue Naughty Mummy! We are organising much needed, monthly nights out for the hard working, glamour deprived mums of East Dulwich. Forget about broccoli puree and that embarrassing hair pulling incident at nursery for one night and join us for our launch Christmas party: 15th December 2009 Black Cherry Bar, 21 Lordship Lane From 7pm A free drink, a gorgeous goody bag and naughty treats await you! Bring your mummy friends or come along and make some new ones! We?ll have people to meet and greet you, so don?t be frightened to come along on your own! For tickets, ?15, email us at [email protected]
