Hi,


I'm expecting my third baby in mid-September. I had a great group of other mums (and dads) when I had my second baby, formed through this forum, and it would be lovely to recreate that as it's so important to have other people to chat to, whinge to, ask questions of in the middle of the night!


Shall I set up a facebook group so we can easily get in touch? We actually ended up with a whatsapp group of over 100 members (imperative to turn notifications off on that one!) with my previous group so if there's interest in that I am happy to set it up. But let's start with facebook which is a bit more "dip in when you want to"...


Hope to meet some of you and hope you are enjoying your pregnancies so far.

Hello,


I'm due with second baby 5th Nov. Had a lovely gang of NCT mates for my first mat leave. Will be home alone for this second one, so would love to join whatever gang is on offer! Had a look for the FB group but can't find it. Can you point me in the right direction?


Looking forward to an eventful winter!

Dear Mums to be,


My name is Bruna and I am psychotherapist student - at Birkbeck?s MSc Children and adolescents psychodynamic counselling and psychotherapy.


I am currently looking for a mum who is due in October or November. Could you possibly help me?


A very important part of my learning is the infant observation I am required to do. For one year or eighteen months(starting at the baby?s first week or so) I will visit the family?s home for one hour a week.


The aim of this, is to simply observe and learn from the baby?s development. I will obviously do my very best not to interfere with the baby?s (and your!!) routine.


I would be happy to provide you references from my tutors and from my current employer (I have been working for this family since 2015, looking after their two adorable kids).


I am aware this is a big ask, but I would immensely appreciate your help. My email address is [email protected]. Please do let me know if you have any questions.


Kind regards,


Bruna Toriello

    • 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.
