Hello kiwis, remember to vote in the NZ election

Thanks Lizzie, I did see this already. However, what with a wee baby and my 4 year old bestie, I think the luxuries of breakfast parties are a while off for me. Hope its a great success! Clare -

Hi Lizzie I went into NZ House to vote on the 3rd day of voting. The guy there said they had already been run off their feet... a good sign. Lets hope that the 3/4 of Kiwis living IN New Zealand who didn't vote last time can get their a into g this time too! Fingers crossed. Clare -

Yes, this election couldn't be more important! 'Be a tidy Kiwi' ...and vote. -

We have whole door in our kitchen as a black board and its brilliant, lists at the top and something for the kids to draw on at the bottom. Will have one in any future house without a doubt. A must do.

The guy at Chener Books told me about you guys... how great, a bunch of Kiwis in the area! We (my 3 year old daughter and I) would be keen to come along sometime - I'm 100% K1W1 and she is half. I'll PM for details on the next meeting. Also if anyone is interested in keeping alive that connection with nature that so many of us Kiwi kids have/had, then I run a outdoor play group every Thursday up in Sydenham Woods. Check out www.nature-play.co.uk or http://www.facebook.com/pages/Nature-Play-South-East-London/207738685928324 for details. -
Perhaps the Playing Out scheme will make the parents that are participating feel like they can get over the danger hump, perhaps it will lead to outdoor play without closing the streets and having stewards. I think that the play you are talking about Curmudgeon is more likely to happen with (after) the Playing Out scheme than without it for many families and children. Besides increasing the levels of play for these children, I love the fact that Playing Out has brought the community together. This scheme might not have ticked all the boxes for some of us on what play is or should be, but it really has a good list of pro's to sit next to a small list of con's... I feel.

Hmmm yes I see you point Curmudgeon. I personally am one for letting children go, many experts on childrens play say that there is no adult role in childrens play. However, when the state of things is so bad (which it is) that many children are not getting out to play at all, then this is one solution that is working... as we can see from the short film. At the end of the day, if they are playing (with or without the aid of adults) then the job is a good one.

Wow that is so very very awesome!! Thanks for sending me the link One Sweet World. Errrhem, Dear Southwark Council...

Can you recommend bouncy chair for reflux baby?
clarebells replied to midivydale's topic in The Family Room Discussion
Sorry to move off the subject slightly here, but if you say your baby isn't happy in the sling, its more than likely that the sling is not comfortable or properly fitted. There is a great sling library and consultation resource in the area - http://southlondonslings.com/ Might be worth checking the sling situation out, as the benefits of close contact are great for reflux babies as I understand it. Good luck.
