Hello,


Shall we arrange a 2 March date then for those who can make it? Coffee somewhere (and maybe a slice or two of cake)!


Would morning suit, say 10.30am? I think an earlier meeting was at Le Chandelier before so we could go there or happy for other suggestions. Let me know who is in!

Hi there,

I am sorry I never presented myself :

I am A Gloria and due in August too with my second (not sure how to cope with two as my first one is just 9 months now!!). This pregnancy took us by surprise and now coping with very severe sickness and tireness same as the last one. But all for the best and very happy to be a mum again!

I am also beauty and massage therapist so do not hesitate if you need some advice to keep yourself on top during your pregnancy. I am also trained in pregnancy massages and relaxation/streching techniques if you want to learn some nice techniques for your back as I saw some of you have some back pain(can ask your partner to practice on you lol).

I would be very happy to join the next meeting if not too sick that day. Might have to come with baby number one as his Dad works a lot.

So when will that be 29 or 2nd ?

Let me know !

Hi everyone,


I could make 2nd if we met at 10:30 as Buffy suggested? I have a Sunday lunch in North London so could only stay an hour but would be lovely to meet you all.


Melting Pot, sorry to hear you've been very sick - I have been too and it's just subsiding at 16 weeks so feeling your pain! Hope you feel better soon.

Hi there


I've got yoga on Sunday morning (2nd March) so couldn't do a morning meet up. But I could do anytime after about 12pm.


29th March sounds like it'd be a good date to put in the diary as well so why don't we plan both now and hopefully those who can't make one can make the other?

Hi.

I am joining today at the Victoria In as I wil be nearby with number 1 around the time. Might kot stay long though as I am exhausted today!!

I will try on Sunday morning too to pass quickly before church.

    • 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.
