Oh it's so sweet! Just sorted a video out for my little girl, it's really like he's talking to her! Cheers for letting us know about it x

Hi Katy, Am also east dulwich mum-to-be, am due in mid March and don't really know of any one else due around the same time. Would love to meet up for coffee and a chance to chat. Am only working two days a week at the mo so let me know when you have some free time, and any one else who is avaliable! Elly x

Eater81, your message has just really irritated me - enough to reply which I don't normally bother to do! Please don't be narrow minded enough to tar all parents with the same brush. Me and my daughter walk a half hour journey every day to reach her school off Lordship lane, no matter what the weather. It's actually really enjoyable to avoid all the horrible congestion on the roads and walk peacefully through the park and it gives us a chance to have a giggle together on the way. Why are so many people on this website so eager to put down parents and stereo-type children as 'screaming brats?' There ARE parents who drive every where and are a hazard to pedestrians when they park directly outside the schools and block visability to other children. But it isn't ALL parents. It is a minority.

Hi there Helen, I've been a registered childminder for a year and half now and it took me roughly 7 months from the initial meeting to being able to look after children. However, alot depends on how quickly your course follows your pre-reg meeting and all the red tape you have to go through, such as CRB checks. Mine were really fast but I have known childminders whose CRB's took ages to come back. Hopefully you won't have to wait long, good luck, it's a great job to have these days and just to reassure you, I constantly had people asking me if I had vacancies, there's a big lack of qualified and reliable childminders out there!

I think she must live around the Peckham rye area as have spotted her a few times going up and down Cheltenham road. She took a fiver off us 2 years ago (having read these messages she must make a fortune!) at a time when we were really broke and I remember feeling like such an idiot when she never returned to pay us it back! When I saw her recently she told me exactly the same sob story she had before, almost to the word, and I confronted her with the fact she had already conned me. She looked really bewildered and told me she had only just moved in to the area. She seemed completely out of it so am thinking the money is going to fund her drug prob.
