Does anybody use real nappies? PM me if you do as starting to feel I could now attempt to reduce my 'environmental disaster' (Arthur). If anyone is thinking about it I think the local Nappy Lady expert is giving a talk at the Ivydale Children's Centre that I think I'll go to if you fancy...I do need some convincing that it's manageable!! a friend had a good go this week - she made it look simple!

Thanks

Jo

Hey ladies


I've not been around for a while. Congrats to all the births I've missed. And, congrats to us all for making it this far and actually contemplating a bar meet!!!


On which note I've not been able to make the tues meets as I go to mummy fitness, and I can't do meet ups in the eve as unfortunately my partner doesn't get home until late from work. He is very keen for me to get out and about at the weekends to give him time with Elliot on his own, so if any of you fancy catching up over a glass of vino please just let me know.


I have been to the babies group on a Fri (with the crumpets) and had a great time, I'm hoping to make this a weekly thing, so hope to see those of you who are interested there


Hope al of you mummies and babies are well

Hi everyone,


Just checking people are up for meeting at the gardens as usual tomorrow? Could really do with some adult conversation after the day I've had today - just realised that trying to do a days work from home with a 7 week old baby isn't exactly straight forward!


Emily, lovely to meet you and Elliot at the crooked well on Friday. Unfortunately I am rarely in London on weekends but am definately keen to keep going to the crumpet thing (which could happily lead on to a cheeky lunchtime glass of vino?!) Not around this Fri but will hopefully see you there the one after.

I should be there too - docs at 10.50 but as long as they aren't running too late will pop over afterwards. My two were a nightmare tonight too - older one pretending to need the toilet right at the end of stories (sat on the loo for half an hour refusing to come off) and then tantrums while I tried unsuccessfully to explain why it's naughty to pretend, followed by laughing (her not me - now that was the final straw!) all of which of course woke up little one. Who then wouldn't settle for ages...Wine anyone???!

Sounds like a lovely idea to me. Just thought I'd inject a bit if toilet humour...I was Skyping mum whilst giving Isabel a bit of nappy free wriggle time and think I may need to buy a rug for the living room. You live and learn I guess!

Don't think I can make Thursday, but for those interested in power pramming, i went to the Peckham rye one on Monday and the lady who runs it, Liz I think, said there was no Dulwich one on thurs as she has a school assembly. Might be worth emailing her to check (comes up if you google it) though in case I'm wrong. It's ?6.50 a session or I think you can pay ?50 for 10 sessions.

    • "Sitting around doing job related things". Do you mean sitting and doing their jobs? "have you had your COVID jabs?" Perhaps instead of spending your time on here insulting other posters, in this case me, you would be more effectively employed contacting the practice management with a detailed description of exactly what you say you saw and when. And then see what they say. You have made a lot of assumptions with presumably absolutely no idea what those people's jobs are or when their break times are. I am not defending the practice, which seems to have some problems  I just don't like seeing people who aren't here to defend themselves being publicly attacked by someone who apparently doesn't actually know what those people were doing and why.
    • Relatively recently, they employed a couple of young people on front desk work they were excellent. I don’t know if they’re still there. And yes, they may be doing something on their computers that’s important but when you see  people queuing and no one appearing for many minutes the system seems inefficient.  Some simple changes could make a big difference.  But those changes would have to come from management rather than individual workers choosing to jump up and help. 
    • I'm happy not seeing a GP face to face.  I had WhatsApp video appointments a couple of years ago,which ended up with me being rightly sent to Tommies A and E.  I see nurses from time to time at TJ, I always have a good laugh with both them and the blood test people.  I see the practice nurse at FH from time to time and it feels like visiting an old friend. I'm not sure whether social media has made us a more negative nation, or it just feels this way due to some of you who post on this forum.  The majority of posts in ED matters and on the transport thread are complaints  How would you define lazy and useless?  There is a spectrum of productivity, and of customer service.  Some excel at one or both, but I'm not sure at what point workers drop below an acceptable level.  When I am unhappy I will complain to an organisation. Some respond better than others.  One of my first posts over a decade was to complain about a local shop.  It's a funny anecdote which is essentially a "Ok you don't want my money so I'll go and spend many 100s of pounds at a different company" but I regret not dealing directly with the shop rather than getting pointless revenge many years later.  Still won't use the shop though.        
    • Now as an ex patient my impression was that their is a general lack of accountability  or responsibility by the staff at FHRGP and heaven forbid you should disagree with them, "not allowed". They want total control with no scrutiny. How that practice survives, I really don't know.  That being said, two or three of the staff are excellent.
