And I felt all sad

One was originally ds1s

Bought a second for the twins


Then reused it for newest baby but now he is too big


These are the car seats we brought them home from hospital in


I know you will all understand the slightly sad feeling of time passed that can never be regained


And newest baby has shoes now, too


The day looms when he will

Leave for university (or so it feels!)


What items have you found it hard to part with?


Shoes... If I could I would keep them all

I was sad to have to sell the pram I had for biggest sb to fund the double buggy we now need - It was lovely having him lying in it and then sitting and facing me - we had good chats and it was nice and snug. Smallest has been shortchanged by never parent facing and being in the p&t cocoon.


Other than that, worryingly, pretty much everything else is still in the loft...hmm...

I've kept a favourite outfit from every stage. There's somthing about holding it, feeling the fabric, and seeing the pattern that speaks volumes more than any photograph ever could. Of course this drives poor Husband mad when he pulls open the wrong drawer looking for 2T clothes but gets a strange mix of too tiny rompers and socks instead!

it's weird, i'm not at all sentimental about that stuff. I do keep things like the babies' hospital tags from when they were born and keep meaning to put them in a scrap book along with pics of christenings/birthdays etc...one day will do it! to be honest I didn't enjoy the baby stage with my first, and am not much more with my second, so guess am not so wistful about it. I think I must be a bit strange because in fact am desperate to get rid of everything as soon as number 2 is finished with it (perhaps trying to underline that def stopping at two?!).


BUT - certain foods and smells etc can take me right back. We re-found a lullaby with ducks that tinkle round recently, used to play it to distract my first during fraught nappy changes, and the sound just transports me right back to his early days, it's quite an odd feeling.

I'm torn between feeling sad about time passing and pleased to clear some space! I've kept daughter's 1st shoes and will probably keep a few of her nicest baby clothes when I get around to sorting them out. Same for new baby. Think I will be sad to sell equipment e.g moses basket will have to go soon. Suppose it makes it seem unlikely we'll ever have number 3 but we simply don't have the room to store everything just in case...

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By Sue · Posted

      First of all, conversations with people who aren't Corbyn supporters are obviously going to tell you why those people didn't vote for him, aren't they? Second (and I don't know why I have to keep on saying this) the electoral system worked against him in terms of seats lost. If you look at the actual numbers of votes per party, yes Labour was behind, but not by as much as it appeared if just seats were counted. Thirdly, that poll was of "nearly 500" people who stopped voting Labour. That's not a very big sample, is it? Of those, 35% said it was because of Jeremy Corbyn's leadership (i.e. 65% had other reasons). Even upping the numbers to  500 people, 35% is 175. 10,269,051  people did actually vote Labour in that election. It's a long time since I used statistics for anything, so please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think anything you have said is "evidence"!

      Dog Kennel Hill School to change name

      By Earl Aelfheah · Posted

      Dog kennel isn't a great name for a school. I agree that it's ridiculous for the name to put anyone off going there, but don't see any issue with them rebranding if the parents and children prefer a new name. The school is surrounded by historical 'groves' (reflected in the names of Camberwell Grove, Grove park and Grove Vale for example), so it's not a totally random name.

      Nasty kids in Peckham Park

      By Angelina · Posted

      It might help if there are body cams to record evidence and a presence maybe a deterrent but I very much doubt a park warden would intervene with obnoxious and violent thugs - children or not. We need police for that.

      NIKO THE PLUMBER

      By DAVID CANNON · Posted

      I had a leaky toilet cistern and Niko came out the same day and not only fixed the leak but thoroughly cleaned off the years of calcium build-up. His attention to detail was matched by his kind humanity. The result was a completely renovated toilet which has never worked more efficiently as well as 'service with a smile'. MANY THANKS NIKO!!!
