Last time I just listened for American accents! I have short brown hair and will have a red bugaboo buggy with baby in tow and an almost 4 year old running around. I may recognize a few people, so lets just meet outside the cafe where the kids usually run around and I think we'll find each other :)
I have a gym appt which normally I would skip but have thrown out my back which means I have to rehab it at the gym per doctor's orders SO I will be a little late- probably more like 10:30 but hope to catch up with whoever is there! Looking forward to it!
Hi, I'd love to meet up. Three days a week during school hours, it'd be my 2, almost 3, year old daughter and me; otherwise it'd be my 9 year old girl and 6 year old boy as well. Weekends are trickier given juggling everyone's schedule. Maybe we could do one of the days you work from home, twinsmom, and see who else can meet up then too. Does a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday work for anyone?

Just found this post when I did a search for Forest Hill Pools, but I wonder if you are the American mum (sorry, mom) who I have chatted to by the big yellow slide in the Baxter Field playground. My little girl loves that slide (or used to before she turned in to a total wuss over night).

hi- i'm late in joining this group, but am thrilled to see so many american's around. I'm a philly girl myself and we've lived in ED for a year. I have a 2yr old and one on the way (Jan). I really hope to make the next meet up.

i just got my absentee ballot for the presidential election in the mail. Wish i could manage to stay up to watch the returns.


warmly,

karen

Hi - am sorry I missed this thread from the start, but how exciting!! Especially if people want to share NFL package ;)


I'm from Indiana (and NY), and I've been in London for about 6 yrs now. I have a 10month old son and would love to meet up if you guys plan another !


Is there a mailing list or is it all scheduled here? hmm, what would a mailing list look like... [email protected] ? :-)

    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
    • Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.
