Hi, got your text too - I will have to let you know tomorrow as I'm popping into the city in the morning and not sure what time I'll get back but will definitely try get back in time. x

Hoping to join you this week

[Bozenka]

Met with Lindsey (apologies if I've misspelt her name) yesterday in the picnic area & she kindly invited me along. I swung by today around 3.30pm but I didn't recognise anyone there from the day before. not sure if anyone made it in the end?? Hope perhaps to catch you next week instead.

Hi there Bozenka - Lindsay here! Sorry, I thought when I was chatting on Tuesday arvo you said you were busy today - we didn't make plans to meet today either - sorry about that :-( See you next Tuesday instead.

[Bozenka]

Hi Lindsay... yes I did have plans but my friend canx & thought I'd pop along.. no problem me & Alana had a lovely afternoon in the park anyway. See you Tuesday. x

[linzkg]

Hopefully see you ladies (and anyone else who's around - Molly? Polly? Pickle?) on Friday for a little farewell for S and I :-((

I'm thinking either after Babble and Squeak for an early lunch or after lunch and nap time at say 2ish?

Must get on with making cupcakes tomorrow!

Hi there

can you give me details of a meeting... for some reason i can only see the last few posts...

Thank you

[The Nappy Lady]

Hiya,

Yes, would love to meet up. 12 midday would be good for me, may also manage 2, but can't promise as C generally sleeps 1.30pm til 3pm and then it's the school run. But whatever you do I will do my best to at least show my face briefly......keep me posted...

Also re the temperature and ibruprofen thing we were chatting about, I have found out why, and I think I can relay the info fairly accurately as follows; there are two schools of thought - the big concern with babies and young children and temperatures is the risk of febrile convulsions, and it is now thought that it isn't the temperature itself, but a rapid rise OR drop of temperature can is most likely to cause them. Therefore some consider it better not to give meds to bring temp down quickly unless baby is showing signs of being in extreme discomfort BUT another school of thought is that it is better to make them comfortable, get them drinking, moving etc. and more likely to do that if given ibruprofen. This tends to be a discrepancy between the UK/other parts of Europe and Australia, which is why your Spanish Doctor reacted as he did by the sounds of it. Interesting stuff eh!

bee74 - sorry, we usually meet up on a Tuesday afternoon from 2.30pm in the picnic area of Peckham Park .. but I have ransacked the thread to get the girls out this Friday as well.

Molly - aha I see, makes sense! Good one you for even remembering to follow this up - haha. Ok so going forward I may try Calpol initially and see what happens .. mind you if its a little fever and its related to teething then I may not feel so bad giving him Nurofen - less quantity (though probably more concentrated ;-), it deals with the inflamed area and the fever all in one go. Thanks for this though - I'm glad to have it clear now after being rather confused ;-)

Hopefully see you on Friday at some stage. x

[bee74]

thanks linzkg

where are you meeting this friday then?

Thank you

[linzkg]

Ok scrap Babble and Squeak (thanks Fran!) as it isn't on this week.

Meet in the picnic area of Peckham Rye park from 10.30am / 11am?

Bee74 - opposite the parking at the cafe is a gate - if you walk through there, over the little bridge by the toilets and keep going straight up through various little gates you'll get to the picnic area - I'll have down some bright red/black/blue sarong type blankets so you shouldn't miss us.

[fmay]

Great, see you there x

[bee74]

didn't realise it's in the morning, we have swim classes.

maybe next week if you meet in the afternoon.

thanks you

[fmay]

As explained earlier Bee, usual meet is tue afternoons if ever free to join, these posts about Friday are a separate one off get together, off tangent from original thread. Think has confused you!

[bee74]

all clear now...

[linzkg]

my fault - sorry!
