I've tried to PM everyone today. If there's anyone I've missed, please let me know! Looking forward to meeting up with everyone and sharing our experiences of life with our little ones. xx

hello, I have just stumbled upon this thread and would love to meet up - am I too late? (I'm east dulwich based). We have one little boy who's nearly three, and we won't have any more because of my ancient age, dodgy back, and all that kind of thing. All his peers are just starting to get brothers and sisters, and I am starting to (very mildly)freak out!

Hi

is it too late to join? I have a 6yr old boy, are ''we'' too old?

We live in FH / Woodvale side of thing, cannot host at the moment but have a car and could pick up / drop off

R people supposed to bring food or else?

[Saffron]

Hi-

Not too late or too old! :-) At worst this will be an excuse to get together for tea and cake with other mothers, and at at best our little group will grow to be a fun and supportive network.

One of the issues parents of only children may face is networking with other parents. For parents of an only child, then sometimes it can be harder to meet other parents too. So my hope this group will be as much about children making friends as parents making friends too. xx

You sound like me! I think this is a great idea Saffron, nice one.

Thanks so much to everyone who came to the meet up this week! We'll have one more at mine on Sat 24th from 2/2:30ish onwards. Please message me for details if you want to come and haven't already received a PM from me. xx

Do you mean a Man and woman only one child so you like what I have. Isn't a bad idea isn't it and good guy that is what everyone has told me hurrraa!!!

[beeandson]

Hello

first of all thank you Saffron for having us, it was lovely to meet you and your daughter, she is ever so cute.

Must add - for any one interested - Saffron is well cool ;-)

I would be keen to meet up again and in particular with mums who have a school age child maybe?

I will open up a separate tread but in the meantime if anyone is interested in setting up a small swimming group and get a private instructor I would like to hear.

My son loves the pools but he is not a natural swimmer I found that he benefitted much more from private lessons. Last year we had a 4 children group and he progressed much more than in a class were he would tend to shy away.

Hi all-

We're still on for a meet-up at mine this Saturday the 24th September, from 2/2:30 ish onwards! :)

Hope to see you there!!

(PM me if you don't have the details yet xx)

[Saffron]

Hi all you lovely parents of singletons!

It's a gorgeous day!! Meeting at mine this afternoon for tea and cake and laughs. (If the weather keeps up this gorgeous sun, we can even shift up the park at the end of my road. If we all decide to do that, I'll leave a note on the Forum, and a note on my front door for any late comers to join us.)

Hi,

I've just come across this thread. I am also a Mum of one (and an only child myself!) and would LOVE to get involved with this group if it's not too late? My daughter has just turned four.

Should I PM Saffron?
