Hey ladies, lovely to see lots of you tonight.

I mentioned the Baby and Toddler Show at Bluewater this weekend to a couple of you, we're going on Saturday.

There is a 2-for-1 offer on tickets at the moment so you can save ?12. Go to www.babyandtoddlershow.co.uk and enter BS44 code to get the offer.

It's on Fri 9.30-4.30, Sat 9.30-5 and Sun 10-5 - might see you there. My tickets came via email which I then had to print out - not sure if they'll do it another way or not as it's only in a few days.

Hi all,


Lovely to see some of you last week!


A few of us were talking about another Junies meet up and making it this coming Sunday.


I notice that some dates in May have been proposed above and maybe we can do one of those too - but as one of us will be going in for a planned C soon, we don't want to leave the next meet up too late, so would like to go ahead this wkend too.


How about 10am at the Gardens again? Happy to try somewhere else if people fancy - just shout!

Hi - this coming Sunday morning would be lovely, 10am at The Gardens cafe. Doesn't have to be just 'June' babies.. anyone from the wider group who fancies a coffee/tea morning also welcome. Just easier to chat in a smaller group and without the background noise of a pub! Jules x

Hello


I am a summer babies mum and am looking to borrow a bugaboo travel bag today if possible for a 2 week holiday with our 9 month son Marlo - just found out the buggy i had planned to take is broken so it is all rather last minute.


Thanks a million!

Hi all,


Unfortunately won't be able to come tomorrow morning after all :( There have been a few cases of povrovirus/Slap Cheek Syndrome in school so have had to go and get a blood test on Thursday eve to make sure I'm immune. In the mean time time I should avoid contact with other mums-to-be(just to be on the safe side) until I get the results on Monday! Will definitely be there for the next meet up!

Hello HC75 :)


I'm also due mid August and am a second time mum (he is 2 end of May) I also think Emma was who I met at the east dulwich tavern meet up a few weeks ago is due August and currently has a bubba too. (Emma if I've got your name wrong apologies I can't even remember my own name some days!!)


Is there anyone else due August? Let me know and I will try and arrange a coffee??


Oh I totally forgot to tell the ladies I met that night about the Epi-no I used for first birth. It's not that elegant to use however I swear that it stopped me Tearing and mates who have used it also didn't tear. It's ?90 worth every god damm penny I say . It's basically a balloon that you put inside you and gradually pump up to 10cm (size of baby head) and then muscles and skin are used to this size when giving birth.

Hi all,


Due 31st July so technically could be August. I would love to hear more about the Epi-no. My midwife recommended I get it as pretty bad tear about baby number 1 but I was a bit unsure, glad to hear it works and will defo get one now. I have a 3 year old and am defo up for meeting for coffee.


Cheers

Catherine

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
