HI If anyone is interested in raising more money for Macmillan this month whether you're holding a Big Coffee morning or other fundraising please do get in contact. I am a Stylist for Stella & Dot (www.stelladot.co.uk/abbiesmith) and would love to help you raise money by donating some of my profits if you are holding a fundraising event. Happy to come along to your events with a jewellery adn accessories display - adding a bit of sparkle to your coffee morning or even to help you set something up - be it coffee morning or drinks and nibbles of an evening. In addition to this I am also creating Chemo Packs again this September / October (see pic attached) whereby customers buy a Stella & Dot pouch (just ?19) which I then fill with a selection of things to help patients going through chemo (lip balms, sweets, mints, thick socks and a magazine). These will then be donated to the Macmillan Ward at Kings this year. And finally we also have a charity bracelet coming out in October whereby all net profits go to Breast Cancer Awareness. Pic attached. It can be ordered online from 1st October at www.stelladot.co.uk/abbiesmith or I am taking pre-orders now so can add to a group order and deliver locally for free. Please do get in contact to chat some more about any of the above :)

What about little booters/kickers at Jags Sat and Sunday 11am - not sure what upper age limit is

Another second time mum. Expecting number 2 at end of Sept when my son will be nearly 2.5 Abbie x

Ok so I've finally pinned my husband down to some dates for our holiday - last week May and first of June. We'd like somewhere sunny - I accept we might need trousers / cardigan at night but want to be able to be sunbathing and swimming in the day. Although not our normal type of holiday we're thinking a hotel resort would work well for us. We've got a 2 yr old so would like to be able to have a morning and an evening to ourselves so kids club and babysitting a must. Somewhere really child friendly - kids pool, playground, ability to take children into restaurant and not get glared at (all the things we would have hated a few years back) I've seen both the Pine Cliffs and Martinhal in Portugal and a Melia hotel in Tenerife but wonder if anyone has any other similar suggestions. Also silly question but will the pools be heated this time of year? We went to Portugal last August and had a villa and the pool wasn't heated and was freezing and my son refused to get in. He loves swimming and I don't want him to miss out because the waters so cold!! Help please :)

@buggie were loing to go away end May /beginning if June. When in June did you go and what was the weather like? I like it hot so were looking for somewhere that's definitely going to be warm - sunbathing weather :)

We use payefornannies and they've been really helpful

To have as spare and for holiday later in the summer Looking for it to be in good condition as will use it regularly Thanks

hi we stayed here just before christmas http://www.holidaylettings.co.uk/rentals/swanage/229285 my grandparetns live near swanage but its now too much for us to stay there 4 bedrooms - 2 doubles 2 twins they can provide travle cot and high chair theres amini tv room off the kitchen with playstation dvd player plus a main lounge its about 10mins walk to the beach really helpful owners - even left us a bottle of wine and tin of roses as we were there just before christmas would definitey go back in the summer.

Thinking about it canela may well be right - I had a few hen dos / wedding when my son was a few months old and after drinking I was fit to bursting the following morning and I did think back then that alcohol may have an affect

I was with Brierley and they were fab. Rae was my midwife and was fantastic. I also had care from katherine and Ruth - all were lovely. You do have to be planning a home birth to get on their books as such. I didn't end up with a homebirth but they came to kings with me and delivered my son and just made me feel so comfortable

My doctor here prescribe me doneperidome free I was in hospital for a month and had I stop BF I was on it for 2 weeks and my supply came right back. As above it's a side effect rather than the main reason for prescribing but my doctor was completely aware I it - I initially spoke o one of the BF consultants from the leaflet you get at kings when baby is born I'd also say rest and plenty of liquids too - you may not feel dehydrated but you may not be drinking enough for your supply

Not that you'd think from the outside but D&A on Rye Lane were really helpful - not the biggest selection of glasses (or perhaps even any nice ones) but for contact lenses I would actually recommend

Would also recommend Mike Came over yesterday fixed my light, even offered to pop down to the DIY shop to pick up another switch

Would definitely recommend Steve Pearce and his son Fitted me in at short notice, very prompt, very polite 0208 699 3713 07930 345245 Abbie
