Hello

I've been looking for something like this so I'm glad I found it :) I am expecting my first baby early April and would love to meet other mums to be in the area.


This is a great resource by the way so thanks for starting the thread

Hi there BlueGoose

Perfect, sounds good to me. PM me your number and we I'll set up a group. Judging by the other threads we will hopefully have a few more mums to be keen to meet up so January gives us a bit of time for that too :)

Would be lovely to meet for a coffee in the new year

Hello everyone! I?ve been away so I?ve just seen all your messages and will set up the WhatsApp group later today! Lovely we?ve got a good few joining, I?ll be in touch- don?t forget to DM me your number if you haven?t already. Look forward to meeting you all , stacey xx

Hello all,


I am a first time mum to be expecting at the beginning of May , living in Herne Hill , would love to meet some other local mums . Coffee meet up sounds great in Jan ! I'm giving 'jelly belly' pregnancy fitness classes a go this Sunday in east dulwich .. missing my usual sporting hobbies so thought I'd give this a go !

Also expecting my second in April. Is there a WhatsApp group already? What?s everyone?s thoughts about a Facebook group - we had one for a winter babies group back in 2016 and it worked really well? If not, please keep me posted on the next meet up.

Hello,


I?m a bit late to this,, but I am expecting my first baby in May. I am also fairly new to the area so meeting other Mum?s to be would great. Please let me know what I need to do to join the whatsapp group. It?s such a good idea.

Thanks, Hannah x

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
