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?

    • Hello. Would you like a sofa bed? We have one to give away…photos attached. The scatter cushions are not included.
    • Complaint submitted.  Your helpful link took me straight to the relevant page. 🙏
    • I spend a riddiculous amount of time at the PO.  Every day.  I watch and I watch closely.  Returns take seconds.  The wait might be long but the scan takes a second.  The only thing that slows down a return is people scrolling through their phones looking for QR codes. Business customers like me take seconds.  I might have up to 2 bags of boxes but every one is perfectly packaged and pre-paid.  It just needs a scan.  Seconds. For customers like me and for returns customers they could just put in a self-service check out and we would all be in and out in minutes.  Quicker than M&S.   Or, have a dedicated window for scanning and nothing else.  No facility to handle money at that window so nobody is tempted to ask for a service other than scanning.  That would get the queues down instantly. It is the people picking up things that backs up the queue.  The branch is not equipped to provide the service.  Next time you're in the branch take a look at the shelf space immediately behind the servers.  A few stacking shelves.  That's all the space they have.  Everything else is on the floor in a mess.  I take on board what someone said about the private delivery companies not delivering to Peckham and I didn't know that.   The biggest time wasting service of all is Parcelforce.  If someone in front of me asks for Parcelforce I want to cry.  Long, long, forms need to be filled out by hand, in triplicate.  It is Dickensian.   Please consider taking a few minutes to fill out an online complaint (link below).  I honestly believe that an influx of complaints might make a difference.  I don't want to demoralise the staff or anything sinister but the PO needs to see that the branch is broken. https://www.postoffice.co.uk/contact-us/in-branch-customer-experience    
    • Couldn't agree more with the frustration. I avoid it like the plague but made the mistake of picking up a parcel a couple of months ago and it took them 20 minutes to find it. This was after queuing for an hour. All the pickup parcels were just in a massive heap with no order or organisation so they manually had to search for everything. Bizarre and deeply annoying as if run well it could be a good asset to the Post Office and of course the community. Also, very much agree with the point re not taking it out on counter staff as it must be a terrible and demoralising environment to work in.
