Personally I think that all the films and books after no 4 are pretty dark. We both love the series and have been conjecturing on when our v little one will be ready for them. I think the original generation reading the books as they were published had an advantage, a 7 year old reading the first book would be ready as each year went past for a new book.

I had my ears pierced at the doctors in my home town (80 miles away sorry) so service definately exists at. least. They used a tiny one use stapler type thing, so very hygenic.

Teddy bears picnic sounds lovely. Do you know any more details please? Time, where, need to bring food etc.

Hello, I've seen a sign on the gate saying open from 10.30 during the hols. Does anyone know if its everyday or if Weds am is still just childminders? Thanks.

Sounds lovely. A morning session would be good for us. Two hours would be better than one, as a mum of toddler with endless energy, never quenched by a single play session!

The Coppleston playgroup on Tues am 10-12. They said that they should carry on running through the summer as long as they have enough volunteers to help run it (see another thread on here a week or so ago where they asked for helpers.

Are people generally thinking of bringing kiddies now we are meeting in cafe? I will see how it goes with daughter tomorrow, depends on tiredness/morning etc. I look forward to meeting everyone :)

Whenever I've been to dulwich park cafe its been a hectic nightmare. Maybe it would be a lot quieter on a rainy day? Anyone got any experience? In terms of somewhere suitable for toddlers on a rainy day I only know week day venues. Anyone know a Sunday alternative?

We would enjoy meeting up too. 2.5 yr old plus pg mummy. Any day except Thursday and anything free/low cost. Like the sound of all these activities :)

We are planning on moving our 2.5 yr old im next couple of weeks. By the way, have seen a nice cabin bed which would really help with lack of space. What do people think of height/safety issues? It has. a good 6 inch lip and could use a side guard too.

I'm thinking of getting a cabin bed for our almost 2.5 yr old, as really need extra space under it. The one we've seen has a good 6 inch lip on it. Could she really dive out? What about with a bed side guard on it?

I use Kids Organics detangling lotion each day, working through with fingers then using wide tooth comb. You can get it for a couple of quid from Paks in peckham (big green shop by S bound bus stop opposite-ish station). Plaiting is also really worth the effort. At first it seemed impossible but now 5 months later I feel quite confident and can create some pretty styles. It's impossible for our 2.5 yo to sit still too so I do her hair whilst she splashes in the sink or eats her dinner. Also just started conditioning her hair with something v moist once a week or so which is making it much more managable (dont bother washing at same sitting as would take too long for her to bear).

They are mending the ripped up surface under the big swings. The only reason they had to shut is because the work man was not provided with enough fencing to secure the small area being treated from little feet getting sticky in the mending stuff. (was told this by the very nice guy himself just before he locked up.

Last time I went to my friends wedding ay about 6 months and found a lovely dress in bhs. May sound boring but they &ad some nice not too expensive party wear.

Hello Fuschia Thanks for the ref to Pantley PO. I had never heard of it but just had a read and I think it will be useful when no 2 arrives in Nov. No 1 was a super sleepy feeder so there is some advice there I will definitely be taking note of. Thank you.

Thank you

Thank you :)

Can anyone go to this? Is there a no I should ring to book? Thanks.

Hello can you get there from the footpath behind sainsburys or do you have to go around? Thanks.

No the garden is still all fenced off, but the museum and cafe are lovely as ever and the field below the gardens is there for picnics.

Thanks bb100 that sounds promising. Any other experiences?

As there must be so many children in Ed who live over 300 yards from a local primary school, what schools outside the area have they ended up going to and what are they like? Thanks.

Hello Everyone My second is due in mid November and i have been waiting and waiting for the scan to join this group. Had it Thursday and all Ok. Our daughter is 2 and will enjoy meeting other little ones on the 17th July. (think she already knows Crystal7's). See you there. (will email sunlover with my email).

'ad 2000' 'anger at how teen mums were portrayed' You're right it was just how they were 'portrayed'. It was the presenter who suggested that teens would only bf if celebs did. What the actual girl said was that she went to a class but it was no good. That could have been something useful for the programme to investigate.

Decorating an Easter Bonnet is fun too :)
