Congratulations on your impending baby - how lovely.

Two thirds of the tickets are already sold for Dec 14th. We've now got tickets on sale for Jan 18th (Frank Tope of Rooty) and February 15th (Mark Force from Bugz in the Attic). The parties just keep getting better and better. We sold out a 700 capacity venue in Tufnell Park last Sunday - look out for a big feature on Big Fish Little Fish in Mother and Baby magazine in the new year. It's all happening! http://www.wegottickets.com/bigfishlittlefishproductions

The new youth and community centre on Wells Park Rd has a great range of free sessions for preschoolers. My two particularly liked Latino Bambino toddler dance group at 9.30 on a Tuesday.

There is a great Hypnotherapist who is based just off Forest Hill Rd, Christine Neillands. I used her for Hypnobirthing but she does everything: http://www.advanced-hypnosis-works.co.uk/ She's brilliant, and she has a lovely soothing Scottish voice.

We say it's aimed at families with kids aged `10 and under. The older ones really enjoy the craft room as well as the main room. We've put tickets on sale for Jan 18th, Feb 15th, March 15th and April 12th now - some truly great DJs lined up: Raf Daddy, Mark Force (Bugz in the Attic), Jonny Trunk and Frank Tope (Rooty). http://www.wegottickets.com/bigfishlittlefishproductions (make sure you don't buy Crouch End tickets by mistake!)

Saturday went BRILLIANTLY - thanks to all ED Forum members who came. Mixmaster Morris did a space-themed set for us which you can hear here: http://www.mixcloud.com/nubient/mixmaster-morris-big-fish-little-fish-brixton/ Captain Cookie made robot masks with the kids in the Happy Monkey Craft Room and the young ravers enjoyed free Bear nibbles and Happy Monkey smoothies. The new head chef at the Effra Social ran a hot dog stall with large and small versions of classic, veggie and even chocolate hotdogs. Hope you can join us on Dec 14th for our Christmas Panto themed party with DJs JC Mighty and Joe Muggs (Mixmag, Sound of the Cosmos etc). Tickets available here http://www.wegottickets.com/bigfishlittlefishproductions

Tickets for the 16th have nearly sold out so if anyone fancies coming along - the last few are available from http://www.wegottickets.com/bigfishlittlefishproductions We're also launching in North London later this month - Sunday 24th November at the Dome, Tufnell Park with DJs Si Begg and Miss JT (Secret Garden Party) - if you've got any friends with kids who live that way and you think would enjoy it, please let them know. Thanks, Natasha

I have one going spare if you want it - happy to take ?40. Send me a PM.

Haha (NO) but there is a licensed bar (pub prices) for the grown ups.

Just wanted to let you know about Big Fish Little Fish. It's a new Family Rave that takes place at the Effra Social in Brixton once a month - they started in Sept and both the Sept and October party sold out a couple of weeks before the event. November's party is on the 16th and the headline DJ is Mixmaster Morris. We have a large room for dancing with bubble machine, oil wheel lights and glitter cannons, a baby/chill out room with tents and playmats and a craft room where older kids can make things, get temp tattoos and help themselves to free smoothies and Bear nibbles. The music level is kept low enough to be safe for babies' ears. What sets us apart from 'baby discos' is that we have credible DJs and a music policy that encompasses different genres but with a good percentage of old-school rave tunes (for example: Voodoo Ray, On a Ragga Tip, The Sun Rising, Promised Land). Our DJs also play a bit of ska, 70s funk, pop, drum and bass and hip hop. DJs who have performed include Nihal, Chefal from Rinse FM and DJ Food. You can buy tickets from our website - www.bigfishlittlefishevents.co.uk
