Hi all,


For anyone interested in using cloth nappies;


My monthly cloth nappy advice session is this Friday, 17th September between 10 & 11.00am at the Ivydale Childrens Centre, entrance on Bellwood Road in Nunhead. No need to book, just turn up on the day (please do your best to arrive on time as this makes the sessions better for everyone).


Also, please note: Future sessions will be on the 3rd WEDNESDAY of the month, still from 10-11am. e.g. 20th October will be the next one.


This is a great session to come along to if you are interested in using cloth nappies, or needing help with a system you already have, advice on accessories etc. - please feel free to come along and I will do my best to help you. I also have leaflets about the Real Nappies for London Voucher Scheme which you can take away with you.


Items you are interested in can be purchased on line from The Nappy Lady, and you can use your ?40 RNFL voucher towards any purchases.


I also have two hire kits available, one is a full set of newborn nappies (birth to 15lbs), wraps, bucket, mesh etc. the other consists of Size 1 nappies and wraps, bucket, mesh etc. which fit from 10-18lbs very nicely (generally 6 weeks to 6 months old). Both are available to hire for a very small charge of ?10 for 2 weeks, plus a refundable deposit of ?50. These kits offer a fantastic chance to try using cloth nappies without any real outlay (as you'd spend more than ?10 on disposables in 2 weeks). Feel free to contact me if you'd like to borrow either kit.


Best wishes, Molly

Hi Huggers,


Do you know what make and size they are? They should still be OK as long as the waterproofing hasn't perished.


Do you ever come along to the Family Room drinks? I'd be happy to take a look and try to identify them for you if you like!! If not I'm sure you'd find a home for them via the classified section.


An easy way to test whether they are waterproof is to soak a tea towel and wrap it up in the waterproof cover, make sure there are no openings on the bottom and stand it on a dry towel overnight with a weight on top. If the wetness is still all contained in the morning the covers are still OK!


Molly

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
