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!

    • I don't want to name a shop, but I have twice at this busy time of year had an issue, and yesterday was overcharged when buying a number of small things. If you are using a shop which doesn't give an itemised receipt, or doesn't give a receipt at all, just be aware that it might be a good idea to check that you are not paying over the odds (and if using cash, that you are given the right change for what you handed over). When staff are busy they might make mistakes.
    • As I had a moan on here about the truly abysmal Christmas meal we had at The Cherry Tree last year, I am redressing the balance by saying we had a really excellent Christmas meal at Franklins last night. Every course was absolutely delicious and  really well cooked. The staff were lovely despite being exhausted and run off their feet. In particular, my sea bass was a large portion and cooked to perfection, in stark contrast to the small dried up portion The Cherry Tree provided, from which I was barely able to scrape a teaspoonful of flesh (that is not an exaggeration). And our Franklins meal cost less than half what we paid at The Cherry Tree (to be fair, that was on Christmas Day so the Cherry Tree costs would have been higher, but that doesn't excuse the appalling quality meal). Thank you again to Franklins for restoring our faith in eating out at Christmas!
