Hi Hollie. I've bought the Summer infant baby zoom digital monitor for Baby no.1 due end of the month. Reasons: (1) my husband will be overseas until spring and we live in a large-ish house so being able to flick the screen on and see the little one will save me endless trips upstairs and means I won't disturb he/she (2) I didn't want to get a sensor one as I think it would make me too paranoid (3) I want to move Baby into it's own room within a couple of months (maybe sooner) so figure the monitor option will let me check things are ok without having to go into the nursery. Not sure if any of that helps but the monitor was recommended by several friends who have been thrilled with it.

I too have the BT 150 monitor and can highly recommend...she is now 11 months and we have used it abroad often and at various peoples houses as well as at a wedding...when it's out of the charging dock the battery lasts a long time and it picks up everything you need to hear.


Personally I did not want to get a sensor one as I think they make you paranoid and pick up all sorts of things that will just keep you awake at night and a video sensor is down to personal opinion.


I now have it on the low volume at night so I only hear her if she actually cries rather than her shuffling around. The only gripe I would say is that it is quite bright if you have it on your bedside table - so i tend to cover it with my iPhone cover or a sock!

I got the Angel Care sensor pad and monitor. I've never really understood the theory that sensor pads make you paranoid. Opposite effect for me, I've been really happy with it and it stopped me being paranoid. Reassuring to be able to see the pendulum swinging at a glance, especially the first time they sleep through the night ;-)

    • I’m in exactly the same position.  They badgered me for ages to have a water meter fitted.  I’d prevaricated simply because it’s so tedious dealing with these people but eventually gave in when the communications became increasingly frequent and aggressive and it was done in March 2023. I just assumed I’d then be charged on actual consumption but I received an email this morning with details of the latest price increase and it said, “Since your property doesn’t have a water meter, your bill is calculated in advance based on fixed rates rather than water usage”.  I’m sure they’ve realised I’d be paying much less if they billed me on actual consumption but have not gone out of their way to inform me.  Trawling through their website, for me anyway, is an unutterably tedious chore, but I think I’ll now have to work up the energy over the weekend to pick up the phone on Monday morning and have a word with them.  
    • Great Service again from Andy.  Contacted him with a couple of issues with toilet cistern and shower.  He came over and sorted it all out quickly. Good advice given, reasonable charge for the jobs.  Highly recommend Andy!   
    • Just seen this.  Your post was a bit unnecessary.  I was simply responding to the previous post that children should be cycling on the pavement. But as you say I know shed loads about transport.  Not to the depths that some go down to the minutia.  Some call me the space cowboy.  Some call me the gangster of love.  I think of myself as the people's poet.  You have to laugh at yourself. Echoing what DKH said, we weren't there, you don't know the parent was making a snide remark, My favourite Dulwich parent story was a few years ago were friends when we were in the Herne garden a few years ago, who let their children run riot.  Bless.  One decided to turn the hose on spraying some poor drinkers.  Now most of us would be mortified, but the friends welcomed their child's creativity.
