Hiya

I've asked this on another thread but the date is fast approaching and I'm clueless.


I'm taking Saffron's advice (thanks saffron!)

and would like to get a present for my friend rather than the baby.


It's a little tricky (or maybe I'm over sensitive); she earns considerably more than me and I couldn't afford the beauty treatments, jewellery etc that she would be used to getting. I won't be able to treat her in that way.


Can anyone share their experiences of meaningful gifts (whilst motherhood was looming! they appreciated, perhaps irrespective of the baby shower context?

Not sure if this has been suggested before but I went to a baby shower last weekend and pulled together a list of things that I called random but essential for during and post labour that a new mum wouldn't necessarily get or think of. It included for labour bendy straws, flannel, magicool spray as so hot in hospital, pack of haribo and for post almond oil for baby massage, tea tree oil, infacol, lanolin cream and breast pads. You can really spend as much as you want but I thought it was more of a personal present with some thought behind it.

      Fireworks

      By Azalea · Posted

      I have signed that petition.  Someone was letting off loud fireworks at about 3 am this morning. They woke me up.   I don’t know where they were exactly but it sounded like they were in the vicinity of Dog Kennel Hill.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
