Hi Millie, I go regularly to tippitoes and it's great, however I'm not sure there would be enough room for all of us with little ones (most with more than one) and its normally pretty packed. Also, it would be hard if not impossible to chat to each other for the duration of the class. I find it extremely hard just to keep my eyes on my toddler whilst juggling a squirming 9 month old who thinks he can walk already! It would be lovely to say hello next time we are there - probably next Monday if you are planning on going?


In the main, I'm usually stuck for things to do in the afternoons as well, especially in the winter - I can do Thursdays, but I can also get to Goose Green on Mondays for B&B - there is also a playgroup on Thursday mornings which is good for toddlers & babies.

Annoyingly i've booked myself silly the next few thursday arvos however i'm free tomorrow arvo if anyone fancies meeting up?


pm me if you're up for it and if there aren't many you're all welcome to come to mine. I only have my 15 month old daughter with me on Thursdays

Hi guys, just wondering where the good baby and toddler group is on a Thurs morning? I have a 2 year old and baby due in March, so will be off work soon and looking for groups that are suitable for different ages.


Also interested in afternoon playdates if one does get organised.

I'm free tomorrow, after 2.30 if that's any good?


We do Gym babes on a Thursday morning which is quite good :-)

I just moved to ED in Nov and would absolutely love to meet some other mums and little ones. I have a 16 month old son and afternoon playdates would be ideal. Happy to host, and would love to be included in anything that's going on. The book group is really appealing as well - I'll get messaging. A great thread, thanks!

Gym babes is for prewalkers and is mainly soft free play with a few songs at the beginning / end. There are slides, tunnels, tents, parallel bars, trampettes, all sorts really.


It's held near North Dulwich Station in St Faiths church hall. Once the babies can walk they graduate to the next class up which is Tumble Tots, same sort of thing but more structured I beleive.

It would seem there are lots of things out there but the difficulty is going to be accommodating all the age ranges and the vast number of mums and children we have!


I'm going to try and make B&B's on the 10th but as this excludes quite a few because of older children. Therefore, how about a Thursday afternoon meeting starting next Thursday 14th, at 3pm at the main gate in Dulwich Park. We can then decide to either go in to the cafe or just wander based on numbers. If it looks like we'll have a good number each week after a few weeks I'll look into hiring a venue and making it more of a playgroup type thing with the essential biscuits and coffee etc!

Hi Gussy - We can't make it this Monday but are planning to go next week. Do say hello if you are there as it would be great to put a name to a EDF login! I have long red hair and my son Felix has curly blonde hair.


Princess - Shame I am unable to make Thursday as 3pm is a bit too late as I need to collect my other son from school at 3:15. Hopefully bext time!


Have a great day everyone.

Hi ladies


I have a 21mth old and a 12 week old and im a full time SAHM. I organised a few Park meet ups in the summer which were great but with having another baby and the time of year/weather etc those dropped off.


Id love to meet up with some other mums in similar situation and make some friends. 3pm is a little late for me though what with it getting dark early at mo etc but if anyone does a morning meet up id be interested at the moment.


Also is it possible to start a thread with details off all the local groups etc that we can all use as ref as ive no idea what goes on locally but would love to be aware of venus and classes etc that happen.


thx

Cool will really try to make it but last time at the Plough little sb kept alternately sprinting behind the bar and helping himself to glasses and trying to leave via main door. Stressful!! Roll on summer and parks! Sleeping till 3ish atm so just after then hopefully..

Hi Jills (and everyone else), welcome to East Dulwich!


I'm a mainly SAHM (recently started working Mons & Tues) with a 16 month old boy, and I'd love to meet some more mums in the area for regular get-togethers. We don't have any regular classes from Wednesday pm onwards, so morning or afternoon playdates would be great. I confess I've been following a few of these types of threads on the forum for a while, but hadn't got round to joining in till now.


I find playgroups etc are good, but we seem have our best times in the comfort of people's houses, where the kids can be easily entertained and watched while a few of us mums chat and get to know each other.


I moved to the area while I was pregnant, and am still gradually getting a network together... it's happening VERY slowly, I have to say, mainly due to laziness on my part! But little Max is very sociable, so I think I need to get out there a bit more :)


I guess I should read back through this post to see if there are any meet-ups planned in the near future... if so, would you mind if I came along??

    • Yes, because of course there were no violent robberies in the olden days. Pretty much no crime happened at all I believe through the entire Victorian era.
    • Hi all, Im a Southwark council leaseholder and live downstairs in a ground floor flat, there is one flat above me, it's a house with individual front doors leading from the street into the shared pathway. My neighbour told me he has had a ring doorbell installed, no discussion as to how I would feel being on camera everytime I go in and out or in my front garden. I was told it's only for deliveries and doesn't record and only activates when pressed, however I don't know this and I feel really uncomfortable everytime I'm out in garden or on doorstep talking to people. Everytime I walk in/out, it lights up and in the eve it has a  infra red  light. Now I've read up that as he said its only for deliveries, he could set it so it only activates when pressed, however it activates with its motion sensor. Had he said to me about getting it installed, I could have had the opportunity to ask about it recording etc but nothing except it's being installed and when I arrived home it was there. I don't like being horrible to people however I feel I have not been considered in his decision and I feel very uncomfortable as, some times I have to stand on doorstep to get signal for my mobile and I really don't like the idea of being watched and listened to. Has anyone got any advice as I'm beginning to get angry as I've asked about it once and was told it only activates when pressed. I believe this is not true. I know southwark council say you need to ask permission to make sure the neighbours are OK with it, I don't really want to go down that road but I don't know how to approach the subject again. They also put a shed approx 3 foot from my back room window, these places are built so my window faces their rear garden and there upstairs window  faces mine. They said it's there temporarily, that was over a year ago and it does affect the light, plus I'm hoping to sell up soon and the view from window is mainly a dark brown shed. When I've mentioned this, I was told they have no where else to put it, whereas originally they said its only temporary, Also the floorboards above are bare and I get woke early morning and at night, the thudding is so bad my light shakes and window rattles, so I mentioned this and asked if they have rugs, I was told when they get the boards re sanded they will get rugs, I should have asked if they could get rugs and just take them up when boards being done, which I would have done had it been me living above someone, their attitude was I can just put up with it until they are ready. so they had the floor boards done, and the workmen was hammering screws, yes screws, in the floorboards, I spoke to workmen to ask how much longer and they said yes, are using screws to make less noise! I could hear the cordless screwdriver, not an issue but for every screw there were at least 8 whacks, the owners had gone out to avoid the noise  so I  spoke to workmen as the noise was unbearable, the sanding, not an issue at all, people need to get things done to their home and I'm fine that on occasions there will be temporary noise. now I have a nice crack on my bedroom ceiling, I mentioned this to owner but no response, he said there were alot of loose floorboards and it will be much better now, not so noisy, as though I don't know the difference between squeaking floor boards and thudding, and nothing was mentioned re the crack or that they now have rugs, which if it were me, I'd be trying to resolve the issue so we can get on with feeling happy in our homes. so I'm feeling it's a total lack of consideration. these places are old and Edwardian and I've lived here over 40 years, had 4 different neighbours and it's only now the noise of thudding is really bad and the people before had floorboards but nothing like this. As you can probably tell I'm really wound up and I don't want to end up exploding at them, I've always got on with neighbours and always said if there's a problem with my dog, pls let me know, always tell me, however I feel it's got to the point where I say something and I'm fobbed off. I know I should tell them but I'm angry, perhaps I should write them a letter. Any suggestions greatly appreciated and thank you for reading my rant. 
    • Sadly, the price we now all pay for becoming a soft apologetic society.
    • Exactly the same thing happened to me a few years back; they were after my Brompton. Luckily there were only 3 of them so I managed to get away and got a woman to call the police, then they backed off, but not after having hit me in the back of the head first. Police said next time just give them what they want, but I sure as hell wasn't just going to hand over my bike to them!
