Sophie, I would have loved to come along again (providing bubba no 2 hasn't arrived by then) however I can no longer drive on Physio orders as my tummy muscles have given up the ghost and pulled apart....exceedingly painful I can tell you. Hey ho so I am a little housebound. Have a lovely time and maybe in May I will be there with a good homebirth story to tell.

Just a little reminder to everyone - the next meeting is next week, on Thursday 22nd, NOT tomorrow as earlier suggested in this thread.


Vangough - oh you poor thing! Hope you are getting to rest up. And look forward to seeing you hopefully in May! Fingers crossed I will have my own home birth story by then too!

Hi there,


So, it looks as though we have a lovely group coming along for the meet up on Thursday, how nice! If you are planning on attending and haven't pm'd me, could you drop me a note just so that I can get a clear idea of numbers to let the cafe know for our table booking?


Thanks so much, and looking forward to seeing everyone in the park on Thursday at 2pm.


Best, Sophie


Molly - so sorry for any confusion, and also that you can't make it on Thursday. I moved the date because of the school holiday. S

Vanessa,


I had a home water birth - don't worry about all the practicialities, it is easy. We put a big sheet of plastic over the carpet under the pool, but other than that everything was provided - hose to fill it and pump to empty it. It keeps pretty warm - only issue is that it is a bit of a pain to empty, but by then you are tucked up in bed with baby, so that is someone else's problem!!


And definitely worth it!

Hi everyone,


Sorry for posting this so late after the event, but just wanted to say thanks to everyone that came last Thursday! It was so nice to meet the new mums to be, to see some familiar faces from last time, and meet babies that have been born in between!!!


Hoping to have another get together, picnic in the park next time possibly, in May - keep checking back on the thread for more info.


In the mean time, hope everyone stays well and takes good care of themselves!!


All the best, Sophie

Did this tour this morning with Rick. He was a fantastic guide and teach Ed. His instructions for the Segway were very clear and as a result I felt very safe whilst using it. It was great fun to ride, although would recommend rugging u p as much as possible as the breeze was very cool. Rick gave a great commentary on the sights we stopped at and also some good tips on things to do and places to eat at whilst in Paris. Overall the company was very friendly and knowledgable and a fantastic first experience in Paris. We highly suggest www.privatetoursinistanbul.com

      Foxes

      By Lynne · Posted

      Every night a fox is dragging our small solar powered pump out from the pond and chewing through the cable.  Two questions. One, of course, is why? What does it gain from it? Second is how can we stop it . We've tried taking the pump out at night but since most of the cable runs under the path, we can't put it very far away. We've tried weighing it down after removal but the fox, after a couple of days has learned to push the weights away. It seems to be enjoying the contest. We're not. Any fox experts with suggestions would be welcomed.

      How oversubscribed are the local schools? Will they be able to take on students who are currently privately-educated?

      By lollol · Posted

      Southwark and Lambeth may have some spaces but this is not the case of other London boroughs nearby particularly at secondary level. Also this is not just a London issue. There are many regions throughout the UK that have no school places available (eg Kent due to new housing developments, rural areas, Surrey, Guildford, Edinburgh etc). Just because you feel it doesn’t affect you, does not mean it’s right.  You also need to consider the proportion of foreign students in many of the private schools in the area which distorts the impression that local people can pay private school fees and suck up an additional £4-5k per child and per year. And sadly, the psychological and emotional impact on children is not even being discussed.

      Education not taxation - please consider signing this petition!

      By lollol · Posted

      Step in a child’s shoes just for one moment and think what it would be like to have to move schools in the middle of the year away from your friends, teachers, community etc. due to a political stunt. I doubt the money will even go into education. The UK will be become the only European country to tax education. Primary schools have some capacity where I live but I have enquired and there are currently no places for secondary school where I live. Again, so easy to be smug and say we should have pre planned a potential outcome 5 years ago when you live in your £2-3m homes next to the best state schools in Dulwich (like Keir Starmer!)
