Hello Mums and Dads and Babies and Toddlers and...assorted family folk.


Lovely Bumps and Babes needs some more volunteers. Well, the former ones WILL insist on going back to work, having more babies, letting their children grow up and out-grow the group (The NERVE of them) (myself included in this).


For those of you that don't know us, we're an NCT drop-in group held at the Goose Green Centre on Mondays, from 10-12. It's a lovely informal drop in, for expecting Mums and parents/carers with babies up to 18montyhs, usually featuring antics from Cheeky Seb (who specialises in eyeing up people's changing bags and trying to hug smaller babies. Oh dear. He also does a good line in buggy inspecting and biscuit nabbing). It's run by volunteers, who host in pairs to set up and clear away the hall. We used to have both sets of volunteers arriving together and setting up and putting away together, but I am probably going to change this so that one half of the pair arrives, sets up, and then the other half arrives at 10.45-11ish and is responsible for clearing up etc (I know routines and naps are a problem if people are there for 3 hours, and want to make it as easy as possible for all concerned). It's not a huge comittment, but is worthwhile doing in my opinion :) I am also looking for someone to co-ordinate the whole shebang, as I am having to step down (bump/baby/work comittments). Seb is getting a bit big (and demanding) for the group now, and I have a rather-large-for-18-w Baldock Bump 2 which is getting in the way somewhat.

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
