Anyone want to meet next week?? I'm thinking I need to start getting out, once the visitors have left...


I didn't make it to the French Cafe by Peckham - if everyone knows where that is it may be an easy target? How are people fixed for Tuesday? Entirely flexible if there is a consensus for an alternative date/venue.


Hope everyone is getting on ok, whether they be looking after the bundle or waiting for it to arrive!! (I'm finding time is VERY scarce these days, its just taken 28 hours to get a sainsburys order in!!)

Hi All,

Yes was lovely to meet last week (and meet baby Alfie!!) Unfortunately next week is my last week before maternity leave starts so I have to go in everyday :o( I'm free tomorrow and thursday though if anyone fancies meeting on short notice this week?

Hi Clare,


Congratulations on the birth of your little boy!


We plan things through the forum, so if you follow it you will get the messages. Audrey suggested meeting next week on Tuesday. I am free from 11am till 3pm so happy to meet for coffee or lunch. How does it fit with everyone else?

Hi,


Coffee next Tuesday will be good for me. I can do anytime from 11 until 2pm.


Look forward to seeing bumps & babies then!


Can anyone suggest any good baby groups to sign up for in east dulwich/forest hill? My little girl is 5 weeks old now and I'm keen to know what's available locally.

I am back and very proud to introduce Rebecca Eva Amelia, born on July 2nd. Very stressful few days as was admitted in the day we started our move so poor hubby worked so hard to get everything done al by himself and I got back to a house full of boxes but we are nearly there now. Becca sleeps well so I manage to get a little bit done everyday (shouldn't I be having naps when she is asleep???)... Anyway I will pop along tomorrow with my little girl! x

I have nothing to do with this thread, hope you don't mind me butting in! Kapaxiana, I'm so pleased to hear of your little girl's safe arrival having met you a couple of months ago when she was still a bump, hope she likes the little ugg boots!! Take care.

Queen Mab, snap. I am going to be pregnant forever and ever and ever. I have two EDDs one of which is tomorrow and the other is Friday but it's all a moot point. I'll be one one of those bodyshock tv shows- the woman that was pregnant for five thousand years, or whatever. Aaaarrrgh.


My son is at his grandmas tomorrow, so will try and make it along! Maybe the newborns will release some lovely oxytocin?

Hi All,


Anyone up for a meet up this week? Shall we say Wednesday? Weather is a bit hit and miss unfortunately. How about the South London Gallery, its on Peckham Road between Peckham and Camberwell. Afternoon best for me, say 2.30?

Hope to see y'all then!

    • 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.
