Hi all, Some time ago some of you might remember filling out a survey for me on here about maternity buying trends/habits. Your answers were all really helpful and I have now finally launched my online marketplace, NINERY and would love you family roomers to take a look! It's a essentially a women's wear shopping site with an emphasis on maternity, breastfeeding styles and 'mum fashion'. But there's plenty for women whose kids are much older too. I really hope you'll have a peek and I'll happily take any feedback. The site is http://ninerystore.com/

We also used Tuppence when I was a kid and also Mary! Not sure what I will call it when my 14 month old starts requiring a name for hers! This is a really common topic of convo - no reason at all not to ask about it here! Just yesterday I was laughing with my sis as she calls her son's his ding-a-ling!!

Hello! Does anyone have any brilliant, novel or just really successful ways you've helped your toddler to learn about sharing? Searching for a couple of lovely mums to share an anecdote and have a teeny pic in Mother & Baby mag.... Struggling!! Thanks if anyone can help!

Ha! So true...

Thank you amydown and Jules-and-boo

Hi all, Really hoping a couple of you fab ED mums can come to my rescue! I'm writing a really lovely feature for a parenting mag all about the positive effects of Christmas traditions - how they can help bonding/create lovely memories/give sense of belonging etc... As an aside I need a few mums to feature and tell me about their top pre Christmas prep tips - so maybe you try to wrap 5 presents a night in the run up/you make food and freeze it for the big day/ you make decorations on rainy days in autumn with the kids ready for xmas/ ANYTHING really along those lines. I need the help of mums who have a child 3 or under and you would feature with a little smiley head shot in the December issue. Would be lovely if anyone can help?? Thanks xx

Jelly Belly PT for sure. The postnatal class is great and baby goes along too.

thanks edanna

Does anyone know if the above place still needs donations? I have tried the numbers above but no luck. Or does anyone know of a similar place that would like children's clothes, equipment etc?

great, will look into these. Thanks guys.

Has anyone got a recommendation for a specialist women's health physio in or around ED? Thanks

Hi, I had my hair cut by Andrew at Myla & Davis on North Cross Road recently and was really happy. First cut I've been 100 per cent happy with in a few years.

Hiya, We had a similar thing too about 3 years ago and I just wanted to reassure that although my son's tooth did go grey and a dentist warned me it might die and drop out it actually didn't at all and went right back to normal. He took a chunk out of the gum right above it, when he fell awkwardly. I know how worrying it is, I was really upset at the idea he might lose it as he was only 3 and I knew it would be ages till another grew. But as I say, all was totally fine in the end so hopefully your son's will be too. It doesn't sound like he has done any major damage to the tooth from what you describe so perhaps a dentist would advise a 'watch and wait' scenario rather than pulling it out, so try not to worry.

HI all, I need 3 mums who are pregnant and or have children 3 or under, to tell me a line or two about the moment they 'clicked' with their best mum mate. It is for a piece on friendship which I am writing for a parenting mag. If you fancied saying something nice about your friend I'd love to hear from you. I'd need to use a small pic of you with your kids too. PM me if you'd like to help! Thank you x

Eliz01 are you saying that you were in the middle of dinner, having arrived earlier than 7pm then as you are, you were told the baby wasn't supposed to be there post 7pm? I can understand how that would be really annoying for you, but surely they didn't quite 'kick you out'? I have been to the Cherry tree 3 times now with my kids and they are perfectly accepting of children. We even did sit in the bar area on New Years Day with friends and there was no problem. I think all pubs around here, despite serving food, don't allow kids after 7pm And I agree that is pretty reasonable. Sometimes when you have a young baby it will of course sleep in the buggy and you could feasibly sit and enjoy a meal but a rule is a rule and I think it's fair enough for it to be there. This all comes down to how you were told about the 7pm rule really, but if it was a polite reminder it is just them doing their job.

Great stuff! Good luck.

I think you have hit the nail on the head there for me worldwiser. I've never really felt like a valued customer - they seem a bit complacent to me, as if they can take you or leave you and it's annoying after a while. Anyway, I'm going to get over it now! : )

Brick House has really lost its shine for me I'm afraid. It's so overpriced and I agree the service is mediocre at best. I I had cause to query an order (I was being totally over-charged!) and I found the way I was dealt with incredibly patronising. I was meeting people and working in there nearly every day at one point and spending a lot of money in there each week but they have lost my custom now which is a shame. Bit fed up of being ripped off so have moved my coffee/breakfast whilst working habit elsewhere. It's their loss. And the bread is alright, but certainly not the best I've had by a long shot.

Hi, I'm looking for a web developer who knows about marketplace websites and drop shipping. PM me if you can help. Thanks!

I did Pregnancy Fit with Jelly Belly www.jellybellypt.com and really enjoyed it.

These guys are fantastic. Really know their stuff. http://www.jellybellypt.com/

I haven't been yet but my friends highly recommend Lyttle Minx up next to Bloomers and The Lordship. I have booked to go on Weds.

I just bought my nearly 5 yr old boy a Make Your Own Bouncy Balls kit from Early learning/Mothercare for ?2.50. Other stocking fillers include a ruler with his name on, a thing called a Foamee which I'd never heard of but I'm sure all the kids have seen in TV ads, basically like a pot of bubbles but blows out a line of foam and a couple of individual Hot Wheels cars....
