Morning all, seems like ages since I've made it along to any winter baby club meets. Tuesday is a much better day for me too. Will try and come tomorrow, but all dependant on whether various useless delivery people turn up on time. Would definitely be up meeting up after Easter on a Tuesday though.

Ties afternoons great for me too, as my toddler is at nursery. Don't know what time suits most but earlier afternoon,about 1.30/2.00 would be great if poss to allow nattering time before I have to pick up said toddler from nursery at 4pm.

I think I'm going to head down during nap time and aim to be at the cafe for 2pm - feeding time! See you there. I'm appalling at remembering people's faces (plus haven't actually made many of these) so will just ask around all the mums til I find people.

Gosh time have flown in, I have given birth to a baby girl on the 17th Feb and have just recently completed my confinement. I am looking forward to the next gathering at the gardens. It will be something new for wee yin to meet other babies her age. Just hope that she will be napping at that time of day if she is feeding it is not a pretty sight! hahaha

Hoping to be there too, but currently son number one bit poorly so not sure if he'll make it to nursery today, in which case will not inflict ourselves on you all, but hope to catch you next week. Great day for a birthday - going to demand an exchange!

Hurray hurray, c'mon, was indeed Ganapati. Very happy and full of delicious food - we didn't annoy other diners too much and Jonah asleep by the main course and got to talk to each other. Lovely to see everyone today and hopefully catch up again next tues.

Hi all,

Incase anyoone is interested... I have just signed up with some Mums from my NCT group (all recently had their 2nd babies) to run the 10k Race For Life.

The race is on Blackheath on Sunday July 1st. That gives us just over 9 weeks to put a good training plan into action!


If you are interested in joing our group, we are planning to arrange meet ups for training in the park and I have downloaded some good programmes for beginner runners to build up to 10k in 8 weeks. PM me and i can 'invite' you to join group.


Now I know this might sound terrifying.. I myself have NEVER run 10k in my life but we're assuming that if some of the women who participate are suffering from cancer, then we should be able to do it too!


For me it's a way of contributing to a good cause after the safe delivery of my healthy baby!


However, if this is TOTALLY not for you but you'd like to help. Then visit our page

On another note...

I'm around with toddler for a bit tomorrow pm.. is anyone up for Garden's coffee/cake action? Haven't seen any of the first timers for AGES. Hope you're all doing ok

Hope you had a good meet up, sorry I couldn't be there. We made it down to Cornwall quite successfully and Charlie slept for most of the way ( we left around 11.30am and had one long stop).


See you in a couple of weeks.

    • 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.
