Hi. I can;t make the 6th but would love to meet up the next time. I'm also at home on Tuesdays and Friday if anyone else is although that would definitely limit my ability to finish a sentence as I'd have to bring my daughter along!


Thanks ANyaJoeli for the yoga recommendation - I'm going to check it out.

Hello! I've been trying to think of a place to meet on Saturday which could accommodate toddlers and mums.

The only place I can come up with is The Duck Egg cafe on Northcross Road.

It's not ideal as it doesn't have lots of floor space but it does have lots of tables where we could possibly get a drink, chat and distract toddler with snacks/ toys?

Eek. Does anyone have any thoughts?

Happy with Duck Egg cafe. During the week they set aside a little area for kids with toys etc but unfortunately at the weekend they pack it away to make room for extra tables.


One alternative would be the Victoria Inn on Bellenden Road as it has a playroom for kids so we can either sit in there with them or watch them on a screen from the pub. It opens at 9am on a Saturday.


I reckon most other places would be fine if its a relatively small group with toddlers but a large group might be harder to accommodate. Hard to tell from the thread how many of us can make it. Looks like myself. SJK and Joanna77 are definites, who else is in?

Hello, looks like I'm in too as I'm free after all, my husband has decided to play cricket all day... Is the weather supposed to be nice on Saturday?

Duck egg cafe or Victoria inn both work well for me and my little man.

What kind of time? I'll be going to yoga at Gaia in the morning which finishes at 10.30 I think, so we're free for mid-morning coffee (or afternoon meet up) after that x

Oh if duck egg doesn't have kids area at weekends might be best try Victoria inn instead? My toddler isn't brilliant at sitting at table quietly he's better if he can potter around in a toddler space, he's one of those who always needs to be moving around...
We should be able to make it too. Victoria sounds good to me too. Are we saying 10.30? Joanna77 a lot of local streets are permit resident only but you can park on Danby Street (my road!) there are some pay and display spaces but further up it's free to park. I think you can also park on Choumert road (west side) for free too.

Hey I'm sorry I haven't made it this morning, logistical problems with the location of my toddler and husband in relation to the Victoria...

I'd love to make the next one though I hope you've had fun, I can do week day meet ups too.

Not to self-publicise but I teach pregnancy Pilates and there are a few spaces available on my Monday and Tuesday eve classes so if anyone fancies it pm me for details or I can tell you more when we meet.

Look forward to making the next gathering.

Lovely to see everyone today, seeing a few familiar faces and meeting new ones! The Victoria worked pretty well as a meeting place (J loved that playroom!) would be great to meet up again. I'm around during the week Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays with toddler in tow. So could do a park/ coffee on the run meet one morning?


Anya, sorry you couldn't make it. But hopefully see you at the next one. I can vouch for her fab Pilates classes! (I did her postnatal classes) Can you remind me what time your pregnancy class is? I'd really like to try and do some form of exercise whilst pregnant, but need to work out toddler bedtime/husband's work logistics.

I'm around all week next week with toddler in tow, has anyone seen that tomorrow there will be animals from vauxhall city farm at the east dulwich community centre? I was thinking I might take Maurice to that. Otherwise we're free Monday, Tuesday and Friday with no plans. Maurice starts nursery the week after so I'll be toddler-free in the mornings from then.

Preggy Pilates is at 7pm on Monday and Tuesday. It's a bit early for allowing for toddler bedtime/partners getting home from work. I do have a bump in my mummies tummies class on Tuesdays at 8.15pm so if you're pregnant and have done Pilates before you'd be welcome to come into that class (Caroline that might work for you!), as I can adapt all exercises to be suitable.

My Tuesday preg class is currently really empty and if it stays that way I might not run it and instead use the early evening to go to the preg class at yogarise in the Bussey building as the teacher is really lovely (and I rarely get time to go to classes myself!). So if Pilates isn't your bag but yoga is, I might see you there instead!

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.   
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
