  1. I'd say take the formula (you can get ready mixed aptamil newborn which is sterile so you only need take a couple of sterile bottles and not worry about faffing with cooled boiled water etc). As an aside, I exclusively breastfed my daughter but for various reasons my son is bottle fed - there are pros and cons to both and whilst initially a bit sad about not breastfeeding my son, I certainly don't lose sleep over it and he is thriving! Anything.g which reduced any anxiety preparing for labour is a good thing, althowould say the best plan is not to be too fixed to your plan, once those contractions start you're in the hands of your baby;-) Lots of luck and all the very best for the next few Weeks x
  2. I'm with eden (formally accor) and those vouchers (online anyway) dont expire. I think its really unfair for those that do - do you lose the money you have salary sacrificed or do they repay you minus the tax?
  3. thanks for the info pickle, I will be along next Friday with my little one x
  4. I was in Mothercare in Peckham today and bought an all-in one age 3-6months half price (?7) - they definitely had bigger ones too...
  5. Well done all, couldn't participate this year as had impending arrival of new baby 2 days after. I love the request from MS Society for 'photographs of training' - definitely one for their next campaign! x
  6. The one on Lordship lane is has closed down due to rent increase - save you the trip down there. Try to locate the nearest Boots? the bigger stores have on the spot photo processing.
  7. I think there's a family planning clinic in camberwell - just down from Kings. From memory it's a stay and wait place and the waits are pretty long (I never waited it out!)
  8. I also heard that an ice-cream shop was moving onto the Lane, my info was a bit more vague in terms of location though.....
  9. there is likely to be a 'spring babies 2013' thread started here on the forum - if it hasn't been set up yet, the family room administrator will undoubtedly be on to it soon!
  10. Canary islands? We went when SF was 9months in at November time and we're off again with ds1 and he'll be 3months. Not flush with culture but pretty much guaranteed sunshine and 25 degrees, reasonably prices flights and
  11. Hi, Anyone fancy a park meet up on Wednesday morning, 10am-ish? Maybe a walk followed by coffee (walk weather dependent maybe, but I think the forecsst is dry) - I'm easy regarding which park - Dulwich or Peckham Rye. Kristy x
  12. A copy of the letter is available on the website.
  13. We have never received any formal uniform list from the school and our daughter has just gone into yr 1. I have no problem with a strict uniform but it seems totally unreasonable to only communicate this after she has been at the school a year already and never has an issue been raised about her wearing a plain polo short and navy cardigan. As far as packed lunches are concerned, I wonder of along with no 'rubbish' in packed lunches (which I agree with btw), they'll remove cake/custard from the school dinners menu every day?
  14. The only info I got from my daughter (albeit yr 1 so 'info' used in the loosest sense) is that there's no jewelry and no trainers. December would seem a strange/unfair time to change the uniform in a major way, surely if major changes are afoot, they'll wait till the start of the new academic year - or risk certain,justifiable uproar from the parents on the grounds of cost surely??
  15. Well now that my eldest is firmly back in the throws of education, and I am no-longer at the mercy of summer holiday 'entertainment', it would be really good to meet for a coffee and/or (power - ha!) walk in the park with our newbies - does anyone fancy making a date for next week? Hope everyone is doing really well and getting bundles more sleep than we are ;-) Kristy xx
  16. Was driving down forest hill road by wood vale yesterday and,my daughter said 'Oh look someone's teddy on the road'... I hope it's him, and I hope he's still there. Good luck x
  17. Congratulations Julie - gorgeous name! Me and Fred are gearing up to meet the outside world (endless visits from family/midwives/health visitors are coming to an end hopefully!) and look forward to meeting all/some of you soon Kristy x
  18. Hi, we did la bien assise last June with a 4 yr old and a 14 yr old. very easy to get to, 20 min drive from eurotunnel. The site is small but pretty, facilities nice and clean and some pretty villages snot too far if you do want to venture out. We only went for long weekend and stayed in a rent, if we went back I'd opt for caravan (tent was a bit tenko like). The pools are nice, small but nice. We booked with Eurocamp and had no , the staff we're always on hand and very friendly
  19. Hiya, Frederick William arrived yesterday, born in back of car in kings car park - 30min labour wasn't quite enough time to get us into the hospital:-\ . He's doing well though and utterly gorgeous. Hope to meet up soon xx
  20. let maternity leave commence! FINALLY I have left the building :-).........
  21. I've been with 3 for a few years now and never had any problems with coverage either at home or out and about (used to live on Jennings now closer to peckham rye park).
  22. We stayed here last year http://www.babyfriendlyboltholes.co.uk/hotel_migjorn__deluxe_suite-child-friendly-accommodation-22859.htm you do need a car to get out and about and to the beach but its set in beautiful countryside, the owners are lovely, some very pretty towns/villages nearby, lovely beaches too.
  23. Congratulations Rachael (sydneyswan), first girl in the group! Hope everything is going well. I'm booked for induction on 27th July (38+2), its unlikely I'll make anymore of the saturday meet-ups (I only made one so far!) due to house renovations, moving back in and the very full social life of my 5 yr old daughter (alas not mine!). But look forward to meeting some of you over the summer maybe, for (sunny?) walks through the park and coffee. Goood luck to all xx

  25. All boys so far! Big congratulations to all on your new arrivals, hope you're enjoying these precious first few weeks. We're still team yellow, but am now being induced in 3 weeks (unless bubba comes before) -can't wait! Kristy x
