Hi All - hope you had a good weekend!


Toddler mums still up for meeting up this Friday morning with full brood? I know Rebecca, Nikki and Aine were keen. It looks like rain though so where shall we go? Where's good for them to expend some energy and run around like lunatics? Is there a soft play anywhere that doesn't smell of wee? Suggestions please....

Yes please to the Friday meet-up with toddlers!!! The crappy weather makes it even more important to have something to do. The only decent soft play I know is Gambados in Beckenham which is great but does require driving.


My only recommendation would be the Horniman as it's always our rainy day go-to place. Mimi never gets tired of looking at the dusty old animals or playing with the instruments in the music room. And then we can gather in the orangerie for coffees and the toddlers can run around together in there?


Open to any other suggestions though. Sadly Cheeky Cs is on half-term break until next Friday. xx

Hello All,


Would love to join you for a toddler and baby session soon, but I don't think I'll be quite up to such an adventurous outing this week. Hugo was born on the 15th of May, is very well, though also a very hungry baby (he only seems happy with a nipple in his mouth..).


Look forward to catching up with you soon though, once I figure out how to get out the door with a jealous 2 year old and a perpetually hungry newborn...

(i'm in loughborough junction so near to brixton/herne hill/camberwell/dulwich). i've been at home mostly after an emergency cesarean but just had my midwife check up and given the all clear so we're now ready to get out!!

Could I come on Friday, toddlerless? Maybe just for the tea in the Orangerie bit? Although Jo and I did find our boys entertained by the fish at the Horniman.


To let you all know about our 'only sleeping on lap for nap' situation. Last week I went all hard-core timings Gina Ford style and now have a boy who goes to sleep in his crib. After 4 days camping in Wales I expected it bad again yesterday, but no, he's all happy in there. I have a tidy flat again and feeling in my left arm. :)


Hope you're all well.


Jayne


ps Any experience of 3 month jabs? Better or worse than 2 month/BCG?

hello ladies, thanks everyone for the feeding tips and reassurance. Am thinking of introducing formular in the evening though will see how the next few nights are. Might try and make it to the Horniman on Friday too - have been to a wedding there but never actually had a look around.

Take care and here's to a good night!xxx

Horniman doesn't open until 10.30. So Friday at 10.30 in the foyer area! Perhaps a wander through the weird animals and then to the conservatory/orangerie thing-y (it is outside next to the museum's cafe).


As Jane says, you can park easily behind the gardens or opposite the museum (Wood Vale or Sydenham Rise are the closest streets).

Hello Spring Babies Mummys!


Firstly, apologies for my neglect of this thread, I've just had a real catch up of everything that's been going on & it's lovely to see all your news.

My news is that our little boy Bertie eventually made his very tardy appeareance on 23rd May. He's now 19 days old & its our first day at home alone together without Daddy -eek!

We're going to attempt joining the meet-up tomorrow, is 10:30 is at The Gardens about right?


Looking forward very much!

XX from Elisabeth

Hi Ladies


Congratulations Elizabeth! I hope your first day home alone is going well, I look forward to meeting Bertie.


I am hoping to make it to The Gardens tomorrow, it feels like ages since we last met. However I'm taking Amelie for her first swimming lesson a 1pm, so it will depend on how organised I am in the morning!

I won't make it tomorrow ladies as we're off to the clinic for a weigh in then to a baby osteopath in the afternoon as I think some of Isabel's grumpiness might be to do with the stress of her birth - worth a try!


Will try to get along next week. Bored of this non-summer. I had the heating on for a bit today!

Nice to see people today.


I'm thinking about going to the Crooked Well coffee and crumpets for mums and babies morning on Friday from 10.30am.


They have a baby nutritionist there for questions this week.

      Tree Killer – Seeking Advice on Dealing with Toxic Neighbours

      By FellbriggSam · Posted

      He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.

      I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
