I haven't seen any of you for months due to having school run commitments, but might come along next week if you're meeting (with my big kids in tow too). From September both of my older children will be at school full time so it will be easier for me to meet up with Kate. Hard to believe my winter baby is 6 months old today!

hey everyone sorry for getting back so late! will deffo be around next tues if everyones up for a catch up?? Im just starting up my own bussiness and gosh it is time consuming lol!! if you know anyone who wants some BOOB nursing tops pls contact me :)

A sheepish mail to let you know if you're TV watching tonight, I have the grand total of one line that I filmed whilst secretly pregnant with Jonah, in a BBC1 drama, Bert and Dickie, at 8.30 pm tonight, about the 1948 Olympic rowing team success, with Matt Smith aka Doctor Who in the lead role. It's a good drama and you will need a very keen eye to spot me - about halfway through, in a scene set in the Olympic organisers office. I'm first in shot, and glamourously named Helper One. I imagine you have more chance of spotting my name in the end credits! For me it's a big toss up between watching that and Superstar on ITV, which I'm shamefully addicted to!


See some of you tomorrow for the Olympic torch event.

Hi Lindsay - Sounds great! Will try and spot you tonight if Jeanne lets us...it's a bit difficult to put her in bed at the moment, I think because she's teething but we never really know what's going on with these little ones... When and where are you meeting tomorrow for the olympic torch event... I won't have Jeanne tomorrow as she's at the nursery but was thinking of going anyway so I'd rather do it with you guys.

Ooh how exciting! I'll make sure I catch it on iplayer in the morning!


Shameless plug alert - if anyone is looking for child care from September I can recommend a great nanny with her own child (at Heber nursery in the mornings) who is available for 3-4 days and has experience of working nanny shares. PM me if you want any further info.


See you tomorrow at petitou Loren, look forward to seeing you - anyone else up for it?

Hello,


Anyone up for meeting tomorrow? I haven't been able to make the last few weeks so have been missing out! We have allergy testing in the morning so I'm thinking any good distractions in the afternoon might help my grumpy baby get through the day...

Allo - we'll be along for a speed gossip before picking up Albster. Will be nearer three as J still asleep and very randomly I'm in the middle of making soup for Alb's tea. Never made any of any description before - cakes I understand, but soup?! Only explanation is chronic sleep deprivation induced weirdness! X

Hello,


As there is a new lot of Winter Babies due now, a few of us were thinking about moving on to a facebook group so that we can share details and photos etc as well as leaving the board with just one Winter Babies Club to minimise confusion.


So far we have done it through word of mouth when we meet up, but there are a number of people who came to the meet ups when pregnant but haven't been to any since and who may be following the thread. One of the best things about having the forum baby clubs is that they are open to all, and I wanted to let people who haven't been able to meet up know that there is still the opportunity to meet up even if the thread has gone quiet.


It can be found through this link https://www.facebook.com/groups/425802494124436/ or by searching for Winter Babies Club on facebook.

    • 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.
