Dear Winter baby Mums and Dads,


This coming Friday morning some of us are getting together to discuss setting up an East Dulwich 'Positive Birth' group. We are meeting at 10am at a house in ED for coffee, biscuits and chat. If you are interested please feel free to come along we'd love to meet you. There will be some toys for toddlers to play with (though to a huge amount), and of course babies and children are welcome. PM me for the address if you'd like to come.


Please see this thread in the family room if you'd like to know more: http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?29,1223855


Sorry to gate crash. SWx

NCT 6 week Postnatal course starts on Jan 14th for all parents. Particularly good for those of you who are new to the area, or have had a big gap between children, then this may be the thing for you! There are 3 spaces left at the moment.


Held in East Dulwich this is a great way to meet local parents with babies aged 0-8 months. The discussions are facilitated by the NCT Practitioner and cover topics such as sleeping, feeding, crying, relationships, birth debrief, work vs home etc.


The next course is in March, additional dates can be arranged if necessary.


Also look out for the NCT Introducing Solids Workshops. Dates for the one-off 2 hour workshops are: Jan 13th, Feb 25th, Mar 7th, Apr 4th, May 2nd, June 27th etc.



pm me for more info or go to the main nct website: www.nct.org.uk


All the best,

We all seem to have gone pretty quiet, not surprising since most of us are either delivering or coping with the first few weeks! I wondered if anyone around Forest Hill has been organised enough to work out child are for going back to work early next year?

hi Winter babies,


I'm just popping in to let you know that ED Birthtalk - the positive birth discussion group for ED is meeting this coming Thursday (6th) from 10am - 12pm. It's free, babies/children are welcome/it's NOT a 'natural birth' group. Our ethos is 'positivity about birth' and our discussions centre around that. This means all kinds of birth, water birth, vaginal birth, assisted birth and caesarean birth - ALL types.


If anyone is around & fancies a cuppa, biscuit and chat with other interested people about all things birth then please feel free to PM me for the venue. We'd love to see you :)

    • 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
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
