My 2 love prp playground. Splashing in muddy puddles and endless games of gruffalo hide and seek in the woods interspersed with a bit of climbing and swinging is just their thing. Also, the park has so much else to offer you don't have to spend your whole time in there.

Don't know the pricing, but we went to a fourth birthday there the other day and it was just the right combination of play and party. As Mamamia said 45 mins of each. The timing of that particular one was good too, at 3-4.30 we got back before children were too tired. I preferred that to 2 parties this weekend ( dd definitely has much better social life than us) which both finished at 6pm and had each evening almost ending in full blown melt-down mode!

Do you know if it will be open in half term please.? (Next WK)

Sorry. My mistake.

Just a note that Francesca Cabrini is a girls school.

In the forest hill Rd co op the last checkout is so close to the automatic doors that anyone paying there is likely to constantly make them open. The staff sometimes wear fingerless gloves, but I know from painful personal past experience of working in the early hours in a produce dept that they will not go far towards keeping them comfortable.

How do you all fry eggy bread and pancakes without cremating the pan? I just can't get the hang of it!

Thank you.

Has anyone been using the p13 in the last few days and how is it running? I'm just wondering if it is safe to rely on it to get me back from Streatham in time to collect my daughter from morning school nursery in ED tomorrow. Was going to leave myself 1hr for the journey. Thanks for any advice you can offer

Thank you Aaron. How kind of you to give all of these thoughts/experiences. I know I will be revisiting your words for inspiration with my children.

The sessions are free. Tea/coffee 50p.

I need to start getting my daughter prepared for this as she goes to school in September. At the moment I wipe for her.

I think that the assorted surfaces are due to those sections belonging to the shops/buildings, rather than being part of the pavement. If that is the case then I believe you may put a car or something else on your own land, but you don't necessarily have the right of way across the pavement to get it there. Typically I think a dropped kerb would indicate right of way.

A new Pre school is just opening in the Goose Green Centre (church hall of st Johns goose green). Buds preschool. Not sure exactly when its opening.

Hello Srisky. As with most things about the bjcm, it works quite well for me at 5'3 but is not that easy for 6' dh. He finds it awkward to stear. Saying that, our daughter is pretty tall for her age, maybe a bit more like the average 5 year old, who wouldn't be on a buggy board anyway.

Thinking of taking my two (3 and 1yrs) to cp one o clock club tomorrow. Does anyone know of anything else that is already running after the holiday please? Thank you :-)

In the past I have found Floradix tonic really helpful during the tough winter months. Was thinking of splashing out and getting some this wknd actually.

Slightly gross to wash, but I really believe that hankies are gentler on the nose, especially when they've been washed a few times. You can have a whole load of them with you and use as if they're tissues to avoid revolting 'finding a clean bit' issues!

When I went on a tour of Horniman the other day the head said they are considering bulging and will confirm in January.

http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?29,977316,977316#msg-977316 Here's one thread about slings.

I haven't experienced bronchiolitis but do have 2 children with a 2 and three quarter year age gap. If you haven't already done so, it could be really helpful to order a really snug sling that you can keep little one in most of the time including breast feeding in. Having your hands free for the older child and being constantly there for your little one is a lovely combination and I imagine might really help in your situation. Sorry I don't know which sling is best but I think a search on here will bring up a couple of useful threads about it.

Ouch, just imagining the chafing. I spend approximately 1 hour out of every 3 sitting on a slightly uncomfortable fold up wooden dining chair nursing 1 year old back to sleep. Like Katsu said, "sex, as if!"

Some of them do seem less helpful/accessible than others. I found it very surprising that Goodrich has so little tour availability given that its the largest primary in the whole of Southwark. Here are some dates/info I have collected for those you can go and see Bessemer Grange - turn up any Tues at 9.30am Heber - next Weds, 21st Nov, just turn up goose green - don't know when their next date is, but when they have one they are always on a just turn up basis. New Peckham Harris free school - 26th Nov 9.15 open day New haberdashers free school - 26 Nov 5pm info session (dont know if you have to book) Anyone got any to add?

We went on Tues am and it was really nice and cosy. They have put up various screens to make different play areas and have lots of different things to play with. There were mainly little ones there, but I would try taking my older child (almost 4) one day as they have playdough, painting, drawing etc.
