Hi there, if ELaine is happy to do a one off job on Friday 18th July (4 hours general clean) I would be keen to get her number! Thanks!

Absolutely second that! We have just had a really great experience with David Jones too. He has helped us achieve in 3 working days what we have failed to do in over a month up to that point! He helped us to painlessly navigate a tricky situation involving a poor credit rating, and we've just had a mortgage agreed at a really good rate!

Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

If your child is going to New Beginnings on Lordship lane and you'd like to get in touch with other parents, drop me a PM and I will arrange a little catch up for us all - maybe in the Plough this weekend?

Thanks,

Sarah

My son and I enjoyed what I saw billed as 'an informal service for young children'. I fear mine was one of the 'rampaging' toddlers - unfortunately toddlers have been known to run around and I tend to let that happen at occasions designed specifically for them. I'm not sure who was bothered by it? I think a mum running around the alter after her rampaging toddler would probably have been more disruptive. But it was a lovely service and I think the idea of splitting it into 2 sessions is a good one so more people are guaranteed a seat.

Earlier this morning my neighbour's belongings were left on the pavement in Landells road, following a dispute. There was a really big pile of belongings (furniture, clothes, lamps, electrical items etc) and it seems some people thought that they were left and could be taken, but this wasn't the case. The owner is really hoping that the people who took some of her things (probably in good faith, and as an honest mistake) would be able to return them - a television, a laptop, and a Technics sound system are among the things that are missing. She would be really grateful - a lot of the items have sentimental value and and she desperately wants to be reunited with them.

If you think you know of anything that would help her track down her belongings, please get in touch.

Thanks

I went to a Sitaram one at Kings and the instructor is called Sue Stockwell. They have stopped running the class at Kings now but it still runs at Brockwell Lido I believe, and Sue also runs classes independently I think. I would highly recommend her classes - apart from being a lovely relaxing session, I met a brilliant gang of mums who I'm still very close to 12 months later, and all of us recovered super quickly from pregnancy which we put down to the lovely yoga!

We went on Sunday just gone and it was all up and running.

I can't recommend personally, but the reviews always seem excellent. Again, I think they book up very quickly.

Hi, we had our bathroom tiled by a guy called Vince who we found recommended elsewhere on the forum. He was reasonably priced, reliable and did a great job (My other half works in construction and is the pickiest client you could imagine!).

His number is 07951094961

Hi,

We are having our wedding celebrations at the end of July in The Plough in East Dulwich and are looking for a DJ for the evening. We are looking for someone to play fairly mainstream tunes but not too much of the traditional wedding cheese, plus we'd like a bit of a '90s dance classics' set and perhaps a 'UK garage' set for a bit of nostalgia!

Any recommendations?

Sarah

Hi ladies,

I haven't been on the forum for a while, but I'm now on my maternity leave (due on 24th August) and looking forward to getting back in touch with the other summer mums!

Lovely to hear about all the little ones being born safe and sound!

Is there a meet up planned this week or next?

Look forward to seeing some of you for a coffee.

Sarah xx

See you there Jules and Claire (and a few others as well I'm sure)! I'm aiming for 2, but will probably be some time shortly after.

I have bought a couple of friends an engraved wooden chopping board from these folks: http://www.durhamboards.co.uk/CC0370005.php

No doubt you could find loads of people offering a similar service - perhaps some locally - but I can recommend these guys. It doesn't normally take as long as the website suggests, normally a couple of weeks from ordering to delivery though

I think they have gone down well?! Especially for a nice new home.

Hi Jules,

I'm planning to pop along on Saturday as I haven't made the last couple of meet-ups (although might be covered in emulsion from decorating all morning!) Folks normally tend to arrive at the Plough from 2ish.

See you then!

Sarah

Hi everyone!

I missed the last catch up on Saturday 12th at the Plough but it looked like there were a few people going along. I'm keen to head over for a lime and soda this week, but have to head into town at about 2pm - was just wondering whether anyone was keen for a bit of an earlier meet-up - say 12??

Looking forwards to seeing everyone on Saturday! The more the merrier nubby'smum!

Fingers crossed for sunshine again. :)

Thanks vch, I'm not sure whether the swimming and yoga is helping or whether it is going away by itself, but seems to be on the mend (fingers crossed). Look forward to seeing you all for a chat on Saturday!

Hello everyone, Just in terms of being decisive, I reckon 2pm is a good shout for 10th March. And I think given the toddlers that may be in our gang, The Plough is perhaps the better of the two. Shout if you have any other thoughts!

I'm looking forwards to meeting you all. This week, has felt like a bit of a struggle for me - I'm only 15 weeks, but suffering with really bad lower back pain (anyone else have that?). I went to a preggo yoga class on Wednesday and think I picked up some moves that might help, but otherwise I don't think it seems to be getting much better!

Hi Guys! I don't think there was a pub agreed for 10th. I think the Bishop sounds like a plan. My other suggestion would be The Plough (opposite Dulwich library) as they seem to have a few really big tables suitable for a gang of us (not sure how many we're expecting!)and don't tend to get too busy on a Saturday afternoon.

Hope the nosebleeds are holding off Mavis? I'm just easing out of the first trimester myself, so am looking forward to all this energy and RADIANCE i have been promised!! xx

Hi guys! Saturday 10th March works for me, so if everyone else it up for I'll be there! I think the pub sounds grand as well. x

Hello ladies - is it too late to join your gang?! I'm due my first baby on 24th August so just squeeze into the summer (hopefully...). Sorry I missed the first meeting but keen to get to know other mums and mums-to-be in the area, so I'll be up for Saturday coffees in the future!
