Ok the Snowboarding family has sadly recently left ED in search of more space. It has suddenly hit me that whilst we have not gone far I know no one and there are very few places like the edf for meeting other mums. I think there are quite a few 'exiles' out there especially in the home counties and I wondered whether there was anyone our way and if they wanted to meet up? We are between Orpington and Sevenoaks....any friends out there who are up for setting up a north kent branch of the edf?!?


Or if you live anywhere else and want to find others maybe post here too?


(Hope can still stay here and chat in the family room though!!)

Hey Snowboarder - I heard on the grapevine that you were moving out this way. We moved to Sevenoaks at the beginning of February. We're slowly settling in but agree it's so much harder to meet others and find out what's on without the help of the EDF. I've been fortunate in that two of my NCT friends have also moved to Kent.


Please get in touch if you fancy meeting up - I'm around Tuesday afternoons and Fridays. Your boys would be very welcome to explore/destroy our garden or I can show you the delights of Hollybush park.

Hi Ruth, the mumsnet local sections over here are VERY quiet. My post from last year is still on the first page! The NCT isn't hugely active over here either. I don't miss a huge amount about our ED lives although I've lost count of the number of times we've said we miss the forum. I now realise I met about 90% of my mummy friends first time around via the EDF!

We are in Kent too ..... We moved end March. We are in deepest darkest Kent (nr Ashford) but still only half an hour away given the lack of traffic and decent m0torway!


Love it here but agree it's far harder to find out what is going on locally etc! We are getting there slowly and had our first play date today :)


I found the Internet forums non existent/ unused too!


Surestart activities a bit hit and miss but the absolute gem has been the local free magazines, seems to be where everything is advertised! We found them in the local Tesco. We come under Tonbridge which may be close to you- seems to be lots going on there!


Agree we should have an exile group :)

Best ways to find mums in your new area to meet is via netmums , I am chairmum of the local Bognor Regis group.

You can either attend the organised gatherings on the netmums local area thread or post an advert it respond to a meet a mum advert on there . It's a great website .

Nowhere is quite like Dulwich though , and the forum is just fabulous for organising meetings .

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
