Hooray!


I completely agree with Richard. Anyone can sing if they do sing. It's so sad the way lots of people are convinced they can't, what a glorious pleasure denied.


(I can't come because I work, but I would be happy to be a Hummy Mummy in spirit)

If any of you lovely people have any suggestions as to what sort of toys to get and where I might get some without breaking the bank, I'd love to hear them. I'm taking a bit of a risk on this, and want to make sure that I provide a good selection of toys, but can't afford much at this stage. I've checked Freecycle but can't see much at the moment. Anyone got a selection they want to flog me?

Right, the website has been updated, and you can now buy a block of 10 sessions online for ?50 via PayPal. It's easy, convenient and cash-free. I'll be printing cards as soon as I've designed them - realistically they'll be ready for Monday 21 November, so the first drop-in session will be ?5, not ?6. Once I have the cards up and running, a one-off session will cost ?6.


The advantage with this system is that you don't waste the sessions you don't use. You simply don't pay for any you don't attend. It's the only sensible way to run a regular activity given our busy lifestyles, and I don't know why more people don't do it.

Hi all


Just wondering how many of you are planning to come tomorrow morning? I'm looking forward to this very much. I've managed to get a nice playmat and couple of books and toys. Been looking for NCT nearly-new sales but not found anything else in time. If you have anything suitable in good condition, bring it along and I may well buy it from you.


Hope to see a good contingent of mums tomorrow.

My two year old and I had a BRILLIANT morning this morning with the other humming Mummies. Do give it a go if you are a half considering it, I had forgotten how singing gives you the most enormous endorphin boost and I was unusually patient and nice to my toddler for the rest of the day! Very much looking forward to the next session.

Right, a few more developments. I've booked the room for the next few weeks as it looks like this is a going concern.


I'll hopefully have the 10-session cards printed by Monday - but if not, I'll make the drop-in ?5 again. After I get them printed the drop-in session will be ?6 and the block of 10 will be ?50.


I'm after a bit of Mum Expertise. Where are the places to target with flyers, leaflets etc. Sparkle has been very helpful, as has oldnewromantic, but if you have ideas about other potential locations, whether in E Dulwich or not, please let me know.


Also, if any of you have any good connections in the media, I'm looking to get some PR for this at the moment, so if you know any TV producers or influential journalists, please feel free to put them in touch.


Look forward to seeing you on Monday at 10am.

Richard - would just say, that with the little ones, you might want to think about a suitable upper limit on numbers in the group. Too many and it would stop being comfortable and enjoyable for the children and mums. Sophie x
Thanks bluesuperted. I really enjoyed the session too. You all sounded fab. I'll be putting the stuff online soon so that people can hear what the results are. I'll also put the alto lines up so that people can practise them at home. Just trademarked the name - watch this space for further developments...
Right, the recordings are up. Quite pleased with them, given that we've only had 2 sessions. Haven't had a chance to record the alto line separately yet, as my mum is in hospital and I've been doing lots of stuff for her (aren't I a good son!). But I will, fret ye not. In the meantime, have a listen here, and if you're not already subscribed to the mailing list, sign yourself up. I'm getting the 10-session cards delivered tonight! :)

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
