My two sat at a separate table laden with snacks and toys - worked a treat (until home time, at which point 4yo declared it wasn't dark enough yet and threw a strop... that'll teach me for promising that they'd get to have an adventure and ride their scooters in the dark!).


Nice to meet you all today.

Having started this thread, I REALLY apologise for not making it yesterday. Yet again, my little boy has come down with a nasty stomach bug and we have spent the last 3 days climbing the walls whilst doing copious amounts of washing! It sounds as though it was a great success though. I'm praying we'll be fit and well by next week!

I have to confess that despite starting this thread, we didn't make it to either of the meets due to illness first him and then me! We're away this week but if you do get it up and running again Thursday afternoon at The Plough we'll try for the following week.
I'd love to meet up and our afternoons post nap are sometimes a bit dull...but toddler sleeps until 3pm and is runaway prone - so I have no idea where to suggest as suitable meeting place! The plough not great - doors/behind bar exploration etc!! Maybe if we can find some secure outdoor space once summer comes we can join you...

Fences need to be high - Dulwich park for example is easy to escape from!! Out of interest when do they stop doing this? The running away bit I mean? It's totally tedious, and not really about being naughty, it's more that he just has NO sense of danger etc yet.


Anyway....hopefully we will get to meet sometime...I'm a bit scared about facing the world with 2 - 1 has been enough of a challenge so far!!

I think the peak is from starting to walk until about 2 1/2. Our twins are much better now, though i still prefer well fenced areas, and ones with few perils. Duliwhc park fails on allcounts - how decided it was a good idea to put a roundabout between the toddler slides?!

I haven't dared take mine there since they built the big high thing (plus I still have residual post trauatic stress since the "nappy fell off and huge poo at the bottom of the slide" incident.)


Is it safe for toddlers?

Ps there is also section for small children so would be ok for new walkers as well!


It is outside (so brass monkeys) but not sure there is really anything suitably child friendly and indoors in ED. Everywhere will usually accept children but not really geared up to contain/keep them out of trouble for any length of time!


What about a session at a softplay centre?

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
