Hi Marion, great to hear from you and sorry you missed the previous discussions - junk mail can be very annoying sometimes! Change of plan for our next meeting - it's now going to be next Friday 8th August at 10am and not Thursday 7th at 10am (still the Croydon Road playground) so hopefully you can make the next meeting. Any other forum members welcome too!

Hello

Wow! So good to see so many on here who are in the same boat as I will be in 3 weeks time. We're about to move from Peckham to Beckenham, and I'd love to meet up with you guys. Unfortunately I work Fridays. Is anyone around tomorrow for a coffee?


Also, any suggestions for baby groups on tomorrow? My girl is 11 month old and they all seem to only run term time.

Hi, I know this is an old thread but just in case.


Marionj /JulieW /marie1602 - I am based in Clock House (half way between Beckenham and Penge) and have a 5 months old daughter. I am French too (looks like there are a few of us in these parts!), and I am very keen for her to meet some other French babies /kids.


Are you still around? I am guessing you are no longuer on maternity leave? Would still be great to meet up, let me know.

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
