hello everyone!


latecomer here -- but hello! I'm Emma, recently moved to nunhead from Copenhagen (where our first son, now two and a half, was born). We welcomed our second son, Noam, two weeks ago today - he was born at home, very cool experience. if there's any space at the table still, I'd be delighted to come along to a meetup or two! I'm free the 20th of May for sure, and would also be happy to take private messages and arrange other meetings with folks recently returned to newborn-care-land. I'll be working some from September but have a pretty relaxed summer to look forward to.


cheers! - Emma 07581145083

Hi all


just came across this thread faffing around on the forum... We moved to nunhead three weeks ago and I'd love to meet some local mums. I have a boy who is almost 2 and my 2nd baby is due 1st August. would it be ok for me to join you guys on 20th May?


Best, Rosalie

  • 2 weeks later...

Lovely meeting all of you yesterday. I wanted to pick your brains on the double buggy question. I guess the options are:

- baby in pram and buggy board for toddler

- toddler in buggy and baby in sling

- fork out ?600+ on a double buggy (and if so which one???)


Would be great to hear what yu are planning to do...


Hopefully see you all soon,

Rosalie

I will do a combination of toddler in the buggy and baby in a sling plus a double buggy. The sling will be a godsend but there will be times when I want to leave the baby asleep in the pram so I don't think the sling is practical all the time. I have heard mixed things about buggy boards. i.e some toddlers don't get on with them and they make the buggy really heavy to push

I have brought a second hand mountain buggy duet. I really wanted a side by side one and this is the narrowest one of the market. If Flo was gonna be older maybe I could get any without a double.

I'm hoping to do some slinging of baby and maclaren for toddler but given poss CS and nappage have also got a second hand P&T from the forum. (Stephanie's too young for a buggy board though) Also still have our M&P urbo pram so may use that & reins for Stephanie if she's walking more for V local trips!

    • Hello. Would you like a sofa bed? We have one to give away…photos attached. The scatter cushions are not included.
    • Complaint submitted.  Your helpful link took me straight to the relevant page. 🙏
    • I spend a riddiculous amount of time at the PO.  Every day.  I watch and I watch closely.  Returns take seconds.  The wait might be long but the scan takes a second.  The only thing that slows down a return is people scrolling through their phones looking for QR codes. Business customers like me take seconds.  I might have up to 2 bags of boxes but every one is perfectly packaged and pre-paid.  It just needs a scan.  Seconds. For customers like me and for returns customers they could just put in a self-service check out and we would all be in and out in minutes.  Quicker than M&S.   Or, have a dedicated window for scanning and nothing else.  No facility to handle money at that window so nobody is tempted to ask for a service other than scanning.  That would get the queues down instantly. It is the people picking up things that backs up the queue.  The branch is not equipped to provide the service.  Next time you're in the branch take a look at the shelf space immediately behind the servers.  A few stacking shelves.  That's all the space they have.  Everything else is on the floor in a mess.  I take on board what someone said about the private delivery companies not delivering to Peckham and I didn't know that.   The biggest time wasting service of all is Parcelforce.  If someone in front of me asks for Parcelforce I want to cry.  Long, long, forms need to be filled out by hand, in triplicate.  It is Dickensian.   Please consider taking a few minutes to fill out an online complaint (link below).  I honestly believe that an influx of complaints might make a difference.  I don't want to demoralise the staff or anything sinister but the PO needs to see that the branch is broken. https://www.postoffice.co.uk/contact-us/in-branch-customer-experience    
    • Couldn't agree more with the frustration. I avoid it like the plague but made the mistake of picking up a parcel a couple of months ago and it took them 20 minutes to find it. This was after queuing for an hour. All the pickup parcels were just in a massive heap with no order or organisation so they manually had to search for everything. Bizarre and deeply annoying as if run well it could be a good asset to the Post Office and of course the community. Also, very much agree with the point re not taking it out on counter staff as it must be a terrible and demoralising environment to work in.
