I'm a "new" mum and need to find 4 others (to make up group of 8) to take part in first aid course, it comes highly recommended from my other mums friends, some are on this forum, others from NCT etc. You learn CPR with baby and toddler dummys to practice on, Choking, burns advice etc. I know I would feel a lot more confident if I had some training on what to so in these situations! If you are interested, please reply to this thread or PM me. Here are some more details...

Course: First Aid For Life (www.firstaidforlife.org.uk

Date: Wed 5th May

Time: 7.30-10.30

Location: The Rye Hotel, Peckham (in the marquee are at the back)

Cost: ?45 per person

...blimey - that packs alot into 3hrs (esp with such a big group). I teach for The Parent Company and we split basic life support/choking/recovery position and Accidents and Illness into 2 separate classes of 2hrs each and still find there's lots to pack into the time (especially giving all participants chance to practice the BLS/choking on baby and child size mannequins
Some mums I know looked at The Parent Company but although I'm sure they are very good they are more money and ?45 was what everyone seemed happy to pay. At least these mums got some advice and so are better prepared having done the course than not and (should heaven forbid) they ever find themselves needing to use the advice!

Am not criticising the want to do first aid training (as a nurse I am well aware how few do have training and how important it is). I was purely expressing concern that the curriculum for a 3hr class seemed alot and that I was unsure how much practice of the most important skills (the BLS and choking) would be offered to the parents attending.

Hi All,


I've had quite a lot of interest!! I'm going to give London Ambulance a call tomorrow and try and get a date set that suits the first 6 people that contacted me. I'll also enquire about maximum numbers and I'll let you know missse22 and candp. Hopefully we can squeeze you in too. I'll let you all know how I get on.

    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand). 
    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
    • I love the fact that virtually everyone held their hands out when furlough payments were made yet can't equate massive debt with massive cash payments to keep the economy ticking over.   
    • The problem with delivery people nowadays is that they are on such a restrictive schedule that they literally have to just try to deliver and run, otherwise they are penalised. I understand the frustration though.   And good luck making any kind of complaint to Evri. I once sold a laptop on ebay, took it to the Evri pick-up, where it was processed and it then went 'missing' between their pick-up place and the hub. Went through a long, long process where they offered me a desultory amount in compensation and I had to take them to small claims court before they came up with a fair offer the day before we were due to be in court. Long story short, Evri are shite.   Go to look at this forum for the number of people who have issues: https://nationalconsumerservice.co.uk/forum/183-postal-and-delivery-services/
