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-


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.

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 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.)

    • Have you thought about applying for a Taxicard for her? They have black cabs,although also Addison Lee so you'd have to request a black cab.

    • So important to give them the best chance. You can buy bells on Amazon I’ve bought the cheap collars on amazon and find they fray quickly and aren’t great quality. The bells don’t really make a noise either. I’ve also bought a posh one from Pets Couture and it’s absolutely beautiful, got a proper bell and still looks like new after nearly a whole year! Definitely worth the money  
    • I completely agree. A cat with a bell comes into my garden and sits patiently beneath the bird feeders. Sometimes I hear the bell first and can chase him out before he gets there, and hopefully birds can also hear the bell (but only when he's actually moving). This has got worse since prickly rambling rose stems were removed from fences at the back of the garden. I'm looking at what cat deterrents I can put there. You have probably done this already, but if not you might want to look at ways you can try to stop the cats getting into your garden  in the first place? It's very difficult. I love both cats and birds, but  as you say, cats will be cats.
