Hi Everyone I'm due with my second at the end of September (first will be approx 19 months - yikes). Are you all still meeting up? Do you still use the forum to communicate? I've noticed talk of a bumps list - is that how you chat now? Anyway, I'd love to come to your next meet up. hopefully meet some of you soon all the best in this crazy sticky weather Jenny C

Hi all. See you there at 8.30. Mmm cheese...

Hi All oooh, would have loved to come to petting zoo - freya just down for nap though so wont be waking up until after 4.30pm now. Laura - would be great to meet you - Happy to meet at about 4.30pm in the park if you like, otherwise am also around tomorrow. jenny

That goes for anyone else too of course xx

Hi All Hope everyone is well. Been out of town for a while...sorry to have missed all the fun. Also lost updates from forum somehow and only just logging on to sort it out so am a bit confused as to what is happening... Is anyone still going out for a drink on Friday? Would be keen to come along if so. As for thurs - we're around if anyone wants to meet up. Happy to do peckham rye, particularly if good weather again... or go crazy and try dulwich park?? (although that's a lot further for us and I'm guessing for others too). anyway, let me know if you're around Jenny

Hi All Like the idea of the soft play in peckham pulse but have managed to double book myself for tomorrow afternoon - was going to try and rearrange with friend but since it seems most people can't make tomorrow happy to put it off - can do friday 4pm instead, or next week. Anyone up for either of those? Jenny c

Hi All Sorry to have missed you last week. Anyone fancy doing something this thursday? I can do either the 'between the naps' time slot (any time from 11.30 until about 2.30) or the 'post-second nap' slot - 3.30 onwards. does that suit anyone else? Jenny c

Hi Guys Freya still asleep - been ill and must be catching up - you still around at the pub?

great. see you all there tomorrow around 3ish. gloria - thanks for the reminder about your class. I'm not sure whether it would work for us - freya being a) a whopping 10kg now b) wrigglier than a tiger worm trying to escape yet more of my kitchen scrapings... and i'll leave the third reason for the pub but suffice to say slings sit in something of the wrong place for dancing. However having said that, I clearly wont know for sure until I try it! see you at the pub in any case x

Hi All Best times for us is the 3pm slot - there are lots of fun classes on in the mornings but I find there is always very little on after 3pm. Also am hoping to get someone in to help with freya for a couple of mornings a week so that i can study so mornings probably out for us. Incidentally, I can't really work out why all the activities seem to be on between 1 and 3pm. We are always napping at some point in that. I can only assume its for bigger babies/toddlers who've gone down to one nap finishing around 1pm? I can't make 11am tomorrow bex i'm afraid but I can do 3pm - Suzie if you want to meet up let me know and anyone else who is free could catch up as well. See y'all on the 5th if not before JennyC

hi all, we can't make it tomorrow either - we're in the countryside taking advantage of some babysitting to get some work done looking forward to scoping the new gaff Jude(well new bits of it) good luck with nanny interviews btw - think I saw your husband/significant other and Maddy at rhyme time on monday (didn't get to say hello as on other side of room and dashed out early) - was pretty sure it was maddy (although hair much more under control now!) x

oops sorry all - napping misfire here as well so we haven't been able to make it - sorry all - see you next time jenny x

hi all finally i'm around on a thursday. looking forward to catching up - happy to baby cinema as never tried it before (no idea how you keep a baby still for that long??) but very happy to come to clockhouse at 1pm see you at one or t'other jenny

Hi All Haven't made it to a meet up in ages - was hoping to come to this one but freya has come down with unspecified lurgy - doctor says virus shouldn't be contagious now that rash has come out but better to give all your little ones a wide birth just in case (reasonably likely that I might be in the process of coming down with it and I don't want to give it to you guys either!). Christmas drinks is an excellent idea. I might even go crazy and put some make up on. woop woop. see you all on the flip side jenny c x

Hi Hannah. We're away for the next couple of Weeks visiting family and hopefully having couple of nights at posh hotel with a creche... Assuming I can leave Freya with stranger I may have a massage! Have fun and see you soon Jenny C x

Hi All Can't make tomorrow - swimming photo shoot, wish us luck! - have fun yous all. Jenny C

Hi Hannah I haven't been able to make last couple of weeks - keen to see everyone again. Thursday is supposed to be good weather so what about a picnic in peckham rye park so that we can find a big bit of shade for all the babies? (freya is also now on the move in a sort of frog leg commando crawl kind of way and she is not a big fan of sitting on my lap anymore so a bit of floor space for her to mission around would be great). the dog free picnic area at the top of the park seemed to work well last time. what if we all brought a dish to share? (nothing elaborate and home made required, unless anyone inspired by bake off in which case I'll be happy to sample and give feedback!) I can try and be there by 12.30 - have delivery coming some time before 1pm so may not make it there until a little bit later. any thoughts gang? happy to give rye pub a go if people prefer - can test out baby area and maybe I can put a blanket on floor of garden for freya Jenny C x

Hi all. Can't make it again this week am on the way to my sisters wedding in Bristol- currently in lay by feeding. Enjoy. See you soon x

Hi James Thanks for your reply (sorry, should have signed my message - its Jenny), According to my highly accurate line drawing on google maps we are 975m away from the new school site so it seems that we are a little far away, which is a shame as otherwise I'd be interested in getting involved. On a separate issue I've just looked on ofsted and our closest schools are Heber and Rye Oak - both are 650 meters away... assuming rye oak has a similar catchment area, what do you do if you are in a school catchment void? It seems you've been giving this a lot of consideration and I think I may be a bit late to the conversation so please point me to stuff that's already on the forum or out there on the web if its already there. thanks, jenny

excellent - buggy fit/buggy club sounds like just what I need (I may think differently after I've tried it!). May go next tues if anyone wants to join - will check timetable to see what time. see yous later

Hi, this is interesting - can you tell us what you mean by 'close' to the old bellenden road school site thanks,

sounds good. Might try and get her to nap in her cot tomorrow lunch so may be a bit late but we'll try and be there for 12pm. what is buggy club???

Hi All Sorry can't join you all today -have fun, hopefully see you next week Jenny C x

Hi All Gemma - you read my mind. Was thinking that it would be great to find a big tree in the park to sit under so that we can be outside but also have shade for little people (kills me having to sit in the shade in such glorious weather but needs must!). Is the picnic area the dog free bit that is fenced off - opposite that lovely bit of garden with all the plants in and the wisteria etc? Also - how will I spot you? I'm pretty sure I'd recognise you from the pub but to avoid me having to peer at people too much I have a yellow buggerboo bee, give me a wave if you see me. Oh, just realised you've left your number - smart. I'll take that and text if can't see you. jenny

Hi Guys I'll try and come along to clockhouse as well today - looking forward to meeting you all there. Probably make it by 12.30-1 jenny c x
