Numbers, I think malumbu was saying that she is guilty of parenting which could also sometimes be seen as amusing. I.e. "I'm laughing at us, not at them".


But I've always found the yummy mummy term a bit off, like there's an implication that as soon as you have a child you should ditch your mates and replace your wardrobe.

FYI


There's a Quince tree on Tell Grove or Matham Grove


It's been there since the 'old days'. The tree overhangs the pavement, so they're free at the right time of the year

For some reason Malumbu is the only poster for whom I hear their voice as I'm reading their words. And for some reason I hear a 48 year old quite refined Jamaican gent. Always smiling as he gently teases with his harmless but annoyingly inane posts.


Does anyone else hear voices like this as they read or is it just me?

I tend to get mental images more than voices. For you I get Mr Ben, obviously (nice hat, funny walk). Jah Lush I see with dreadlocks (I know), Jeremy in corduroy (sorry sorry), Seabag in a grey hoodie (you need a shave), ???? with a hint of D-Day in Animal House (is that handgun registered?).


That may be why I found the forum drinks a bit of an anti-climax, now I come to think of it.

    • Nasty piece of work. Targets locations with a healthy independent presence and farmers’ markets; typical vampire capitalism. Great supporter of a Brexit too. All good reasons to go elsewhere, preferably small independent., 
    • Hi, oglander , Congratulations on your soon-to-arrive little lion - how exciting! It's always lovely to hear someone taking the adoption route (shelters are having a major crisis at the moment!). I've been in business for 15 years & can say with certainty that most cat owners in Dulwich have catflaps so, not only are they easy to have installed, but you shouldn't find yourself short of helping hands on these local forums. A catflap is a brilliant way to keep your little lion safely in overnight as well as generally keeping track of their comings & goings. I'd be happy to walk you through the set up once you've chosen your model (SureFlap & PetSafe are two popular brands). I'm sure the rescue has already advised, but just in case they haven't, it'll be very important to keep your newly adopted cat housebound for the first 2 weeks to familiarise themselves with their new home. Once they've scent-mapped the house, you can gradually begin letting them out to explore & scent-map the garden. Exciting times! x
    • Hello all,  If your child goes to this gym club: since the new payment system, have you received clear information about the cost per session, the cost per term and when sessions will be omitted eg for school opened days? (I have asked the club, more than once, no full response so far) This term started in late August, before school had gone back (did many attend that session?). Next term there is no break for half term, so there are 12 sessions to be paid. Does that seem to be more sessions than there used to be?    I am sure they are doing their best, but the info from the new auto pay system isn’t detailed enough, and the auto pay just takes an unspecified amount. I wondered if it’s just me (wanting more detail), or if there are others too? (my child loves the gym itself!) thanks 
    • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent service! We had one of Paul Edgley’ s team come to fit some new lights in our living room. They were able to come at reasonably short notice, arrived on time, were friendly and professional, and did a great job. Everything was left clean and tidy afterwards, and the lights look fantastic. Highly recommend! Paul’s contact details are 07802 627967
