Hello...had my first booking apt today which has made everything quite exciting! I just wondered if anyone had any advice re NCT courses? The midwife recommended them but also mentioned a lady called Ariadna who does classes but I know nothing about either as this is my first, so any advice would be great. Ideally we would like to meet new people to stay in touch with as none of our friends have babies yet and also get some advice on what's to come!

Have first scan on Friday, can't wait! Looking forward to hopefully getting to know some new mums in the area!

Hope everyone is feeling well x

Thanks Astrid! Yes would be great to meet up with everyone at some stage...clueless together sounds great! I reserved a place on an NCT course but haven't confirmed it yet. Me and hub both clueless so all the help we can get is a relief. Sashabella I'm due 5 days after you!

Not yet...I only know that the husbando and I will probably argue about it! Also he wants to leave *everything* till like the end of May as he firmly believes in that 'you shouldn't count the chickens before they are hatched'...

I disagree, not that I need to go out shopping now but I don't think that it's anything wrong with thinking ahead. :)

There seems to be so much choice so if I was you I'd do what I'm doing and narrowing it down to the top 3 each with reviews to back them up! I'm ensuring one is far too expensive and one seriously flawed in some way (eg it only comes in pink or something) so I get my own way! Also I am pretty sure some pushchairs need to be ordered well in advance (that's what I am telling my husband anyway!)

Hello,


My hubby's been reading this forum for a while, but I just signed up today when I saw this topic as we're expecting baby number 1 on the 24th of June.


Similar to you guys I have no idea what to expect so it would be good to meet people in the same boat.


Had my scan at King's a few weeks ago and everything went well. Similar to Clofty, the baby wouldn't stop moving :)

    • Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road (with the green glazed bricks). Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight!  Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you
    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
