Congrats Alexia! and wow re the dates to those of you mentioning it above - I know what's on my next shopping list! Just hope ED doesn't have a shortage! ;o) Alexia - I'm not sure re the unplanned homebirth as unfortunately I'm not down for that sort of great midwife care (such a disappointment) but I'll take the quick arrival after last time too! Hope you're setting a trend! Ginny

The one between petrol station and Ondine filled in a couple of weeks ago. Great to get the pavement space as by a bus stop (else new tree would have been better)

Hi all, congrats Ruth, welcome UKdealguide! Good to see some of you last week, numbers down a bit as to be expected as some due dates are here! For those of you on mat leave already - do suggest some meet up dates, then the rest of us can join in once we're off work (or even now if you happen to pick days the part-timers don't work). 4 weeks left at work for me (and counting...!) ;o) Hopefully the weather will be kind giving us a good Spring and Summer to help us meet up outdoors more to accommodate numbers! Hope to see many of you soon and good luck to those due any day! Ginny

Went to Coq D'Argent in Feb and was fine even with their very tiny Evening Standard offer menu (3 options for each course) so you'd be fine with the whole a la carte menu to choose from?

Congrats DandySandy! It's started.... I'm sure we'll be hearing more news from others soon! Table booked as usual - 7pm, Weds 18th March - EDT - under name of Ginny - area at the back right near the ladies toilets! Looking forward to another catch up. PS - thanks Daisy re the class info - have noted to go to one in April once I start mat leave! Ginny

Sounds great, wish I could join but unexpectedly off work as Amber has conjunctivitis again ;(( So prob best we don't share!

Yes just got an email from them saying 17th April - shame it's delayed!

Weds is the 18th. Works for me.

Hey all, happy to book again or of course anyone else welcome to. What date would work for people? Have Wednesdays been a good choice? Should we mix it up incase that day hasn't suited all? Anyone on Mat leave or soon going to be might want to suggest meeting more frequently and/or during the day and we can all join as we go on leave too.

How long is the class Daisy as we could end up out for a while depending.

Good here too. Guess we'll need to check back in here Monday re weather? As we might all have diff ideas of what constitutes bad weather? ;)

7pm onwards. See you there, sorry to hear you're not well Sayroo!

Hi all, Looking forward to tomorrow - it has crept up on me, thankfully you posted Sarah and I saw it on Sunday which reminded me to remind hubby he's on the hook for tomorrow night! fknox1, Khind, farrago and any other newcomers = welcome, of course please come along tomorrow, no restriction on numbers, think we had 26 people last time! Just need to make sure we move around a bit more so we can meet more people. Helen2110 - welcome - and if you haven't already - you should also find the Winter Babies thread which will cover Dec/Jan/Feb babies - you will probably find all of those members will be on mat leave already and most will have had their babies/will have them very soon! Good luck! Ginny

Same on Ondine Road

Sorry to hear all this and thanks as others have said for sharing to make others aware and very glad you are all ok. I used East Dulwich station on Friday 6th at 7.30pm and saw 5 police officers there - asked them if there was a reason for the presence and was handed a leaflet with the information posted by James Barber above. I can't believe that it seems like the attacks were happening about the same time not far away!? Hope there is some CCTV of the perp and with all this awareness with luck he'll be caught very soon. I'll certainly be more aware of my surroundings and keep a lookout. I hope the police will keep patrolling the area too.

Between Ondine Road and the petrol station by the bus stop. Either needs a small tree or filling in as not ideal place by bus stop to have a hole!

Hi all, Just to let you know I've booked the same area in the EDT for 7pm on the 18th. (Back right near the ladies). See you there! Ginny

Hi mooncake, don't know if I'm missing something but I can't find that on FB. Can you confirm wording pls and is it a "group" or "page"? Thx

Hi, That works for me as I work Tues-Thurs. Thanks for kicking this off. Ginny

Same here re 2nd timers, would be really good with kid #1 in tow. Sounds like the 18th is a goer so I'll book that again - assume same tables/area ok? and we'll just make sure we move around more!

Mattress toppers can help if you fork out for a decent one. John Lewis do some good ones.

18th works for me. Was everyone up for the EDT again? Or any other suggestions? It was a great turnout and great to meet those I talked to. So many ladies we couldn't get around everyone! Hoping to catch up with those I missed talking to next time, it's like speed dating with bumps ;)

Everyone welcome! I've got a stinking cold at the moment so may just pop in and out (and keep my distance) so as to not share it!!

Hi, Mine will be babysitting so no. Perhaps a future meetup on a weekend? Ginny
