Ah yes, we got the expensive Lottie playmat for #1 on the basis it looked nice, but he hated it. For my 2 other kids we've had the cheap and cheerful Tiny Love playmat with jungle animals hanging on it, seems to be a popular choice and they often come up 2nd hand on the forum.

I've heard the fisher rice rainforest one is good too.


We had a borrowed one (can't remember the make) and when he seemed bored we pimped it up with extra toys. Mamas and papas have a really nice selection.


Generally add something by Lamaze and something with a mirror and he was happy though! Perhaps your bub has more exacting standards :-)

We had this a-frame shape Chicco one which was great as it's really easy to carry around the house - I used to put it on the bed while I was getting dressed, on the bathmat while I was in the shower, and on a blanket on the floor in the living room and it kept him happy for ages. It looks like it's not available now on Amazon but there are lots of similar a-frame ones and they are much cheaper than the big ones with mats. Also they're stronger - my little boy first pulled himself up to sitting on this and was thrilled. Really recommend. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Chicco-Jungle-Nursery-Activity-Centre/dp/B000IYGJQ2


We also used to swap baby gyms among our NCT group every now and then as they all get bored of their own eventually and that extended their usefuless.

    • Hi Sue, they were not local solicitors. Andrea’s was based in Wales and the other firms involved were large nationwide conveyancing companies (rather than conventional high street solicitors). I’m happy to advise clients and buyers privately on what I believe to be their shortcomings but I don’t think doing so in public on the forum would be appropriate, particularly as they are not locally based. My general advice would always be to steer clear of the big conveyancing companies as they are, in my experience, notoriously difficult to contact when the need arises and the case handler is often not a fully qualified solicitor and so issues have to be referred upwards to “technical teams” internally, which was part of the problem in Andrea’s chain.

    • A slightly vulnerable but hopeful post… Hi everyone, I’m a guy in my mid-thirties who’s recently moved back to London and East Dulwich (I previously lived here for many years before, so I know the area well). But if I’m honest, I’ve found the return a little tough. Most of my close friends have moved out of London to start families — totally understandable — but it’s left me feeling a bit adrift and not quite sure how to make new connections again. Work has taken up a huge chunk of my life in recent years, and I’ve definitely let hobbies, interests and a proper social life fall by the wayside. I feel like I went from a fun social life in my 20’s to suddenly blinking and realising things had gone a bit er…quiet. So, I’m trying to redress the balance a bit — mainly so myself and my partner don’t murder each other 😂, and just to meet some new local faces. I was wondering: is anyone else in a similar boat? And would there be any interest in starting a relaxed, low-key local social group? Could be a casual pub meet, sports, park hangouts, live comedy nights — open to ideas!  I’m happy to do the organising/admin side of things — just wanted to put it out there and see if there’s any appetite. I’ll gauge interest and take it from there.  If you’d prefer not to reply publicly, feel free to drop me a DM.  Cheers all! 👋

    • They are people.  That's how people often behave.
