Hello there!


I hope this doesn't seem cheeky but I?m hoping to do a master baker trade for baby goods. I make a mean cake and would love to make someone a victoria sponge / carrot / chocolate cake / batch of brownies or cake of choice in exchange for coveted baby items in decent condition. Hopefully perfect for a birthday party, special occasion or just a good old fashioned afternoon tea!


I?m looking for:

baby byorn carrier sling

Baby byorn bouncing chair

Moses basket

small microwave

Bed side troll crib

Cot bed


Happy to make multiple cakes or supplement with cash for the bottom two items. I live in Peckham Rye and could deliver cake and collect items at any convenient time.


Many thanks for reading :)

What a great idea! I don't have any of the above sadly but can I be cheeky and say, please consider other slings or soft structured carriers other than the Baby Bjorn? There are loads of threads on this on here and also the fabulous resource of the South London Sling Library (based in Beckenham) but as a starter for ten these slings will last you much longer and be better for both your back and baby than the BB:


Ergo

Connecta

Manduca (my favourite; currently using with 11 mo in lieu of buggy and used with my eldest til he was almost 2.5)

Beco Gemini / Butterfly or Soleil

Moby wrap for early days

Rose and Rebellion

Boba 4G


These might cost you more than a cake though as the resale value remains high (unlike the BB which come up often and don't retain value as don't last very long).


Hope you don't mind my post... But babywearing / good sling is such a fantastic gift to mother and baby I wanted to give some pointers!

Thanks folks! Great advice about the slings too. Kam1 and Gruffaloschild I'll PM you both next week if that's ok as I'm having a small baby shower this weekend. I had said no pressies needed but there may be the odd hand me down so I should probably not acquire more stuff before then. I'll definitely be in touch next week though. Thank you!

    • I've been there for lunch a few times and the home cooked asian food (as part of Sweat Dreams cafe) is genuinely great and a must try. I think the food side of the business has been slow to be noticed but people are now realising what is actually hidden in plain sight.  As for the Aroma Lab coffee ... it is excellent, they are very welcoming and friendly (and unpretentious!). This Australian coffee snob is mightily impressed!!  
    • Do you mean put out things like live mealworms for the parents to feed to the young? Or that the parents will eat the food you put out and therefore can save "wild" live food for the young rather than eating it themselves? On another matter, several weeks ago I moved my bird feeders to another part of my (very small) garden because the area they were in was totally scratched up by pigeons, and I lost several plants I had had for decades and was very fond of 😭 It is now just bare earth with no plants,  and I've got to start again. And block up a fox hole in one corner. I suspect the foxes are tunnelling beneath the garden, as there are several holes. I hope the ground doesn't suddenly collapse beneath me! I cleaned everything and put in fresh seed, but so far all that has visited the new area (that I have actually seen)  is one rather fat sparrow. And a cat. Sitting hopefully beneath the feeders 🤬 No goldfinches (I have a niger seed feeder and have seen the occasional goldfinch in the garden) and no tits, though I've heard both blue tits and great tits nearby. Plus the flock of sparrows who used to come and seem to have deserted the garden. Hopefully they will find the feeders. I've cut back some of the greenery, which doesn't help, as they have less shelter. 
    • So when will we find out? Is it going to be a big reveal on some specified day? If not, why can't you tell us now?! (I'm presuming you mean the new boss of Franklins. It would be too much to hope for that the Palmerston had a miraculous return to one of its better past incarnations. Never mind the food, they could bring back the lovely quirky painted column things of over twenty (?) years ago, and remove the hideous "art" that has sadly been installed. I feel really sorry for the staff, because it can't be just my partner and I who rarely go there any more. I suppose the only hope is that it does so badly that it changes hands again and that the new hands have better taste. Sorry, all off topic.)
    • I would hope that is extremely unlikely. If people accidentally vote for someone, that's their own fault, isn't it?
