Hi everyone,

Was great to see so many mums-to-be at the Clock House today, thanks everyone for coming along :-)

We decided it would be worth trying to book in another date and hopefully even more of us will make it to the next one. We thought maybe Saturday 4th August or Sunday 12th August. We figured we'd go with whichever date attracts the majority of votes! The Clock House was a great venue because it's near the park and we could spill out there if it's a lovely day (thanks for the suggestion Lindsay), but if anyone would like to suggest an alternative, please feel free.

Let us know when you can make it and we'll firm up a date.

Happy Saturday! :-)

I really enjoyed too, a big relief there are lots of lovely, like minded and same situation ladies nearby!


I can do 12th August yes please.


Keep well all.

Great to meet you all yesterday and thanks for allowing me to gatecrash - I'm the summer mum called Julie! I'm looking forward to the next one & should be able to make 12th. I go on maternity leave at the end of July so if anyone else is on mat leave the first 2 weeks of August & also fancies meeting for a coffee mid-week daytime, I'm happy to do that too!

Just wanted to see how all the expectant mums are doing? First time I've been on for weeks so missed the meet up.


I've got 9 weeks till due date and feel huge and panicking about having a 3rd now with two so young already!!!!


Are you all prepared and blooming?


Xx

Definitely not prepared! 10 weeks till my second due and feels like this is the fastest pregnancy in history! My first one draaagggged as I was so impatient but this time it's flown by. Starting to feel a bit daunted at the prospect of juggling two and the chaos a newborn can bring when life is feeling relatively calm - or as calm as it can be with a boisterous 2.5 year old! But really looking forward to enjoying those newborn cuddles again!

Snap with Caroline_S - this second pregnancy feels like it's sped by - possibly cos I was feeling rubbish for longer at the beginning. Our son is also 2 and a half and we've just come back from a relatively civilised and relaxing holiday - not sure I can comprehend holidays with two kids!


I am definitely up for the next meet up though, and can do either of the dates suggested.


Hope all Autumn mums are feeling well!

Hi everyone,


Just joining the thread.....we are moving to West Dulwich so it would be lovely to meet some local mums and tots.


Baby is due on 16th September and we already have a little girl who is two and half. August the 4th or 12th works with me and it would be great to hear of any baby classes and things to do with little ones in the area :-) x

Snap again with Caroline_S & Norfolkvillas - my second pregnancy also whizzing by. I am about 26 weeks - due October 21st and my 2.5 year old is getting very excited about it!


Sorry I couldn't make the last meet up - I can do Sunday 12th August.


I start maternity leave at the end of Sept so looking forward to some r&r before chaos returns - and maybe some meet ups during the week for those on leave by then.


Thanks

Hi all


Thought as we were getting nearer to the suggested dates (and I'm a bit bored at work today) I'd take it upon myself to add up the votes for each date and see which one works best.


So if I've counted up right there are 10 people available for the 4th (sorry don't know everyone's name so have to go with some usernames):

- Emma

- Gebbjane

- Stacey

- Philiphenslowe

- Hannah

- Pozee

- Caroline S

- Dreamaholic

- Norfolkvillas

- fiona_m


And 13 for the 12th:

- Me (Helen)

- Ellie

- Pearcesa

- Emma

- Gebbjane

- Lindsay

- Julie

- Stacey

- Pozzee

- Caroline

- Norfolkvillas

- Fiona

- Indiana


So guess that looks like Sunday 12th is the best bet. Hopefully with that not too many people will miss it. Anyone got any preferences of where to meet? Clockhouse again? Or Rye Pub on other side of Peckham Rye is nice now its been done up? Or somewhere on Lordship Lane? Not sure where everyone lives so where would be most central.

    • "Sitting around doing job related things". Do you mean sitting and doing their jobs? "have you had your COVID jabs?" Perhaps instead of spending your time on here insulting other posters, in this case me, you would be more effectively employed contacting the practice management with a detailed description of exactly what you say you saw and when. And then see what they say. You have made a lot of assumptions with presumably absolutely no idea what those people's jobs are or when their break times are. I am not defending the practice, which seems to have some problems  I just don't like seeing people who aren't here to defend themselves being publicly attacked by someone who apparently doesn't actually know what those people were doing and why.
    • Relatively recently, they employed a couple of young people on front desk work they were excellent. I don’t know if they’re still there. And yes, they may be doing something on their computers that’s important but when you see  people queuing and no one appearing for many minutes the system seems inefficient.  Some simple changes could make a big difference.  But those changes would have to come from management rather than individual workers choosing to jump up and help. 
    • I'm happy not seeing a GP face to face.  I had WhatsApp video appointments a couple of years ago,which ended up with me being rightly sent to Tommies A and E.  I see nurses from time to time at TJ, I always have a good laugh with both them and the blood test people.  I see the practice nurse at FH from time to time and it feels like visiting an old friend. I'm not sure whether social media has made us a more negative nation, or it just feels this way due to some of you who post on this forum.  The majority of posts in ED matters and on the transport thread are complaints  How would you define lazy and useless?  There is a spectrum of productivity, and of customer service.  Some excel at one or both, but I'm not sure at what point workers drop below an acceptable level.  When I am unhappy I will complain to an organisation. Some respond better than others.  One of my first posts over a decade was to complain about a local shop.  It's a funny anecdote which is essentially a "Ok you don't want my money so I'll go and spend many 100s of pounds at a different company" but I regret not dealing directly with the shop rather than getting pointless revenge many years later.  Still won't use the shop though.        
    • Now as an ex patient my impression was that their is a general lack of accountability  or responsibility by the staff at FHRGP and heaven forbid you should disagree with them, "not allowed". They want total control with no scrutiny. How that practice survives, I really don't know.  That being said, two or three of the staff are excellent.
