I figured I'd start bringing the mocklet to play groups, stories, music that sort of thing, once he was able to sit up.

Now that at almost seven months hes crawling and sitting i figured it a good time to start. But looking at the southwark sheets, everything has 'term time only' plastered all over it.


Can anyone suggest things to do during the holidays? Is there a different time table out there for hols?


Any advice/suggestions gratefully received.

There's bumps and babes on a monday - goose green community centre, ?1.50 donation and you get tea etc, 10-12. Think that would suit him - there are toddlers but also lots of smaller babies from newborn up, and quite a few crawlers. well done him on crawling so early btw!


I'm pretty sure rhyme time at the library (11-11.30, Wednesdays) is still on - maybe someone on here can confirm, I've only been once in recent months as mine just too big and unruly for it now. But great for the stage your son is at. It's free.


Also Peckham Rye One o clock club is open 1-4 most days, and during the holidays it's open 10-12 Mon, Weds, Fri. Outside prob less good for him but inside there's soft mats etc for crawlers/pre walkers. Rocking horse etc.

Crawling already, wow!


Rhyme Time at Dulwich Library is still on over the holidays - we generally don't go but a couple of weeks ago when the sun was shining (remember that? Starting to feel like a distant memory!) they held it outside in the small park to the side of the library and we joined in.


Inside at the 1 o'clock club is great for small babies, lots of fun stuff for them to explore in the baby corner which is for 18 months and under.

Thanks for the suggestions. May wander down to the 10 o'clock 1 o'clock club tomorrow then. Is it at that new cafe thingy?


And the little blighter has been crawling for six weeks and is toddling against the sofa. I think he may have spent about 11 months gestating, its the only explanation. (plus they're all early walkers on the mums side, it's those strong irish farmers legs genes).


Where's the goose green community centre btw? Can't think of a likely candidate on the green.

    • It's Christmas, Mal, I'd like to think admin may be a bit looser at this time of year. Goodwill to all men and all that, even Scousers, the French and some Canadians. Have an easy-peeler, a Morrisons own brand Cinzano and lemonade, a toke on this beauty, listen to my post-dubstep-style mash-up of 'Little Donkey' and Frankie Knuckles' 'Your Love' and let the thread go where it will. We're strangely reverential about the Christmas period in this country. Christmas Day in Spain is a bit different, the big day is 'Kings' Day' on the 6th of January.  I've spent a couple of Christmases in a tiny village in the Sierra Nevada outside Granada with an (English) ex-girlfriend's family and it's exhausting to celebrate both British and Spanish style. You start on Christmas Eve, then Christmas Day, Boxing Day, a village fiesta apropos of nothing to do with Christmas, New Year's Eve, New Year's Day, the neighbouring village's fiesta, and only then the big day of Kings' on the 6th. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone that's posted on the 'Fireworks' thread, I thought is was a reenactmentent of Guernica. Thankfully, Coviran - it's a bit like Spar used to be - do an excellent 'Feliz Navidad' fiesta package of six bottles of local red, six white, 24 bottles of Alhambra beer and an okay-quality Serrano jamon (with stand and knife) for about the price of a decent round in the EDT. One fiesta deal every couple of days works well. Christmas Day in Toronto is like any other day, just  even duller - Sunday-service transport and the  LCBO (Liquor Control Board of Ontario) shop is shut. Those who take their drinking seriously need to plan ahead. They also have a strange custom of going to the pictures on Christmas Day evening, rather than watching 'Oliver!' and trying to fleece your niece for her Christmas cash in a game of Connect Four. It's a bit different in Goa, but brilliant. It was a Portuguese colony, so they go mad on it. It's quite magical. I spent one Christmas Day where, after seeing the previous night's hangover off with a prawn caldine and a bottle of local coconut feni, the tide ebbed away to reveal the most perfect, flat wicket for a game of tape-ball cricket. 25 or so a side, ravers versus locals, I batted in the middle order and was building a solid, if unspectacular, innings until I hit a pull shot of such exquisite timing it still visits me in my dreams, only to be caught at square leg by a little, local lad, bollocks-deep in the surf and wearing a Santa hat. Christmas isn't what it used to be. Keep the parks open!
    • I hope it's ok to use this thread to ask for advice on a separate issue in relation to TJ Medical Practice. A friend of mine who is registered there has recently been diagnosed with a serious long-term condition. He has been struggling to find a good GP at the practice since the departure of Dr Love and I said I would try to find out which of the remaining GPs other patients have found most capable and sympathetic - particularly for the scenario of overseeing ongoing care for a long-term progressive illness. Is there any particular GP that people would recommend?  Very many thanks.
    • I,m not a fan of Gales; but a lot of food serving premises open on Xmas day , so not unusual, worked in catering for nearly 40 years and staff usually get extra pay… My niece who is in her last year of college & wants to go travelling next summer, is waitressing in a restaurant near where she lives on Xmas day & Boxing Day for £20 per hour to boost her travelling fund. Back in the day I worked New Year’s Day 2000, & had my pay bumped to £50 per hour, happy days (wasn’t forced I volunteered)
    • Hardly strange; arcane perhaps. It used to be a common practice in many towns for the swings, roundabouts etc in parks to be chained up by the council on Sundays, so that they didn’t provide a source of reckless pleasure on the sabbath. The outrage that a cake shop should open on Christmas Day reminded me of this. The policy had pretty much died out in England and Wales by the 70’s but is still in force in parts of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland.
