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

      The Telegraph and the other right wing media, do they hate Britain?

      By malumbu · Posted

      What a load of Bollixing nonsense. I saw Corbyn once speak as a back bencher.  I doubt whether he would have made a credible PM, let alone a leader of a mainstream political party, but he could speak very well. I haven't a clue what the quotes above are about.

      PM surely as a country we are better than this (Reform setting the agenda on immigration)

      By CPR Dave · Posted

      the 1.8 million unemployed Brits could do the work that Brits won't do. Make minimum wage higher than the maximum benefits payments. So it's more profitable to be in work than it is to be unemployed.   anyway, round 2 today of Labour's attack on immigration. This one is reminiscent of their "hostile environment" that Liam Byrne created in 2007.

      Is Starmer soon to be toast?

      By CPR Dave · Posted

      He's always been clear he'd rather be elsewhere than Westminster: https://www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/2024/06/18/starmer-davos-interview/ "Westminster is too constrained. It’s closed and we’re not having meaning. Once you get out of Westminster whether it’s Davos or anywhere else, you actually engage with people that you can see working with in the future. Westminster is just a tribal shouting place."   That's who he is.

      These are the times he used the word "fight", in context. And Rudy [Giuliani], you did a great job. He’s got guts. You know what? He’s got guts, unlike a lot of people in the Republican Party. He’s got guts. He fights. He fights, and I’ll tell you.   ... For years, Democrats have gotten away with election fraud and weak Republicans, and that’s what they are. There’s so many weak Republicans. We have great ones, Jim Jordan, and some of these guys. They’re out there fighting. The House guys are fighting, but it’s incredible. ... Did you see the other day where Joe Biden said, “I want to get rid of the America First policy”? What’s that all about, get rid of -- how do you say, “I want to get rid of America First”? Even if you’re going to do it, don’t talk about it, right? Unbelievable, what we have to go through, what we have to go through, and you have to get your people to fight. And if they don’t fight, we have to primary the hell out of the ones that don’t fight. You primary them. We’re going to let you know who they are. I can already tell you, frankly. ... Republicans are constantly fighting like a boxer with his hands tied behind his back. It’s like a boxer, and we want to be so nice. We want to be so respectful of everybody, including bad people. And we’re going to have to fight much harder, and Mike Pence is going to have to come through for us. ... And we were going to sit home and watch a big victory. And everybody had us down for a victory. It was going to be great. And now we’re out here fighting. ... [ I GUESS THE BBC REALLY COULDN'T USE THIS ONE:] The American people do not believe the corrupt fake news anymore. They have ruined their reputation. But it used to be that they’d argue with me, I’d fight. So I’d fight, they’d fight. I’d fight, they’d fight. Boop-boop. You’d believe me, you’d believe them. Somebody comes out. You know. They had their point of view, I had my point of view. But you’d have an argument. Now what they do is they go silent. It’s called suppression. And that’s what happens in a communist country. That’s what they do. They suppress. You don’t fight with them anymore, unless it’s a bad story. ... With your help over the last four years, we built the greatest political movement in the history of our country and nobody even challenges that. I say that over and over, and I never get challenged by the fake news, and they challenge almost everything we say. But our fight against the big donors, big media, big tech and others is just getting started. ... Our brightest days are before us. Our greatest achievements still wait. I think one of our great achievements will be election security because nobody until I came along, had any idea how corrupt our elections were. And again, most people would stand there at 9:00 in the evening and say, “I want to thank you very much,” and they go off to some other life, but I said, “Something’s wrong here. Something’s really wrong. Can’t have happened.” And we fight. We fight like hell and if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.
