Hi Gigi2000,


There is quite a choice of groups and classes each week for babies and toddlers, somebody on here created a handy list which I am sure a search would surface. Although you do get to meet other mums at these activities, I personally haven't found them the best way to make friends. The friends I have made that I see regularly have been through threads on this forum and my NCT group! There are a few threads at the moment of people meeting up, going along to such meets is definitely the easiest way to make friends.


My daughter has just turned one and I am due with number 2 in a couple of months, most of the mums around in my daughter's first year are back at work now so I went from knowing lots of people to the numbers decreasing significantly! Ive met a whole new set of mums from various thread on here.... SAHM, bookclub, spring babies etc


Good luck and if your at a loose end and fancy coffee drop me a pm :-)


* edited to finish and add sorry about sudden end to post, was posting from iphone and run out of space!!

Hi gigi2000. There's a thread on here somewhere about how hard it can be to make new 'mummy friends'! There's a thread on 'mummy matchmaking' too!!


Depending on where you are in the ED area, you might like Bumps N Babes (Goose Green, I think). There's a TinyTalk at St Barnabas (se23) http://www.tinytalk.co.uk/index.htm. Or if you're the Nunhead side of ED, you might be closer to the Baby Sensory classes at Brockley Cross (St Peters, Wickham Road se4).


I can really highly recommend Baby Sensory. My daughter loved it, and I did end up making a 'new mummy friend' out of it. There might even be Baby Sensory classes starting in ED now. Not sure, check their website http://www.babysensory.com/en/Default.aspx? .


Of coure if you're looking for something a little more central ED, Amanda and Kevin at Push Studios off Lordship Lane (behind W Rose Butchers) are super nice and offer a lot different classes. There is a Pilates for Mums class, where you can bring your baby with you. http://www.pushstudios.co.uk/classes.php

      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.
