Thank you everyone for taking the time to reply and offer so much information. We will check out all suggestions x

Hi all, We are expecting our first baby, due in August and really need advice on which pushchair to buy. Living in London and a one bedroom flat, we need something practical, lightweight and for a newborn through to three years of age. We have our eyes on the Buguboo Chameleon, it's quite pricey and we are not sure if we would be paying for the brand and the novelty of being able to mix and match colours. Can anyone advise us on other makes and models of a lower price that you have had a good experience with, that are just as practical and well made, with the two settings from a carry cot into a chair. Thank you!

Hiya, yes, try Lorraine Liyanage is on this forum...;o) [email protected]

Hi, just thought I'd put it out there to see if anyone is up for a virtual Detox session...? The regime kicked in on Friday for a month. It has only been three days but so far so good...anyone decided on self purification this Jan? No alcohol etc...

I just watched it after seeing your comments as had no intention before...I am not a mother myself yet and I have to say I found it quite interesting and by all means not because of Amanda Holden...no idea who proposed to have her there?! it was however very interesting to see what happens and how it happens and what if this that or other...so thanks Lorraine!

Well my hubby left twenty minutes ago as apparently all is clear!! He works at a special needs school so not just a random reply...:-)

Hi all, We are looking at scheduling our workshops for after Christmas but before the New Year as this was the time most parents were keen on?so either 27th/28th or 29th December 10am-3pm. If any of these sound like a suitable time let us know. HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!

Hi Molly, Thanks for the message. We don't provide tap shoes but we suggest to bring a pair of school shoes for tap as trainers are slightly difficult to learn in. Thank you very much for passing on the details to the ballet group. We will keep you updated. Many thanks.

Hi Victor, Good to hear from you and thank you for the nice message. We have thought about leafleting outside schools and obviously will have to let them know. Could you suggest a couple of schools and also maybe you have a contact at your children's school that we could call? Thanks and see you soon!

Hi Ludoscotts, Our youngest students are around 5-6 years old. We will be looking to start regular classes in the New Year which we will obviously let everyone know once we know where and when. Many thanks and hopefully see you there.

Hello, We are looking at scheduling our workshops ?Day of Dance? on Wednesday 30th December Dear Mums and Dads, We were approached by a couple of parents about Christmas Dance Workshops and so we thought we?d see what the feedback/interest would be like?We thought it might be handy for you should you need the time to do any last minute Christmas preparation/shopping etc? We would be looking at incorporating Tap, Ballet, Modern and Musical Theatre into a one off ?Day of Dance? or two day ?Christmas Dance Workshop? The Dates we are thinking of would be either Mon 21st, Tues 22nd or Wed 23rd December?Please advise us of the mostly suitable ones and if we generate enough interest we shall go ahead!

Having problems registering for tomorrow as the website won't load...I just wanted to put my name down plus 1...looking forward to it!

I am really looking forward to it! I need to get myself organized after kick starting my own business...

Hi Michelle, I thought you may find the below of interest although it is not an afterschool club...As it's short term event I thought she might enjoy it...I copied and pasted our original post. We will be running October Half-Term DANCE SCHOOL FOR CHILDREN & TEENAGERS - 2/3 DAY Course of Tap (Chris Ernest 'Tap Dogs'), Ballet, modern and Musical Theatre (Joanna Ernest 'Phantom of the Opera', 'Harry Potter') Mon 26th- Wed 28th October (3 Days 6-9yrs) Thurs 29th- Fri 30th October (2 Days 10-14yrs) All Levels 10am - 3pm at Harris Sports Centre (Harris Girl's Academy)- East Dulwich Homestall Road, London SE22 0NR Tel: 020 7732 2276 Following on from our hugely successful Summer Dance Workshops, we are now delighted to offer our October Half-Term School...We are very much looking forward to working with our local talent once again...A fantastic opportunity to experience a fun day of dance! I hope you'll find something suitable...

Thank you Ladies for your responses! Ryedalema you made me laugh out loud! Thank you for that! To be honest I would offer a one off, complementary session so that you could see if you like my style, after that I would set up weekly/ twice a week/ individual sessions. I work/hire studio from JAGS and Harris Sports Centre (both in East Dulwich area) so the initial class would be after school...if we could all agree on time/date/venue (that's if anyone is interested) we should try and go ahead! Chrissie do come a long if you like as well. Anyhow, here are my numbers 0208 6703669/ 07941 989368 I look forward to hearing your thoughts! Joanna

Hello Ladies, I teach a lot of adult ballet, tap and modern classes and I think we could start our very own 'get back into shape' group...nothing overly complicated just a funky and a little bit 'jazzed up aerobics' class...if there is enough interest I'd be very happy to offer a 1h trial session one Sunday morning to start with... Let me know your thoughts, many thanks, Joanna

Fantastic! Thanks quickbrownfox I am really looking forward to it...see you there. Would it be cheeky to ask Mellors if there will be any cakes? I'd like to put myself forward for testing any samples...

...Ooops... is that a no then...? J.

Hi, I would love to come along...although not too sure if I qualify as I am not a mum (as yet)?! You probably know me as the dance teacher on EDF but I have recently started a new venture-Swiss skincare and would really like to take part in any of your meetings if possible... I am sure these will be of a great help in finding solutions etc... Many thanks, Joanna.
