I'm sorry I couldn't makke the meet up on Saturday, I bumped into Tomo at the playground on Sunday and she said how lovely it was to meet up. I work full time so can't manage weekdays, but am around with toddler most weekends or could do toddler free evenings if anyone fancies that?

Hi there,

I agree. It was lovely to meet new people on Saturday. I rushed home to tell my husband that actually the 'nub theory' holds much more promise than I originally thought!

I'd be keen to meet again, but as i work full time an evening or weekend is best for me.

Maybe we could arrange a pizza night at the actress? Or a quick dinner at The Victoria again one evening.

I hope everyone is well.

speak soon

SJK.

Sorry to have missed you all last weekend but look forward to meeting soon.


I also work full time so weekdays are difficult for me. Weekends are easiest for me (between toddler classes...) or very happy to try to make an evening (work permitting) as SJK suggests.


Intrigued to hear about the 'nub theory' too...

Tuesday 23rd during day would be good for me and toddler. Another weekend/evening would also be great to catchup with the working mums to be, pizza at Actress sounds like a fab idea or Vic Inn again.


Couple of dates to get it rolling, purely pulled out the hat if they don't accommodate people other suggestions welcome Thurs 25th Sept or Sat 27th?

It's my wedding anniversary 25th too! Could do 27th potentially although I'm saying that having not checked with my husband... Actually he's out on Friday night so I am owed a night out...although I'm working all day Saturday so might end up flopping with tiredness. In theory I love the idea of an evening, generally can't do Monday to Thursday nights because of evening teaching so Friday to Sunday best for me.

I'm free on Tuesday 23rd during the day, morning without toddler, afternoon with...is that still in the mix?

Hello everyone - I am SO excited to find this thread! I have a 2.5 year old toddler (boy) and am expecting my second around 11th December. So happy to see so many second timers, and looking forward to meeting some first time mum's too!


Unfortunately I'm also working full time, although I work from home on Fridays so I can usually arrange my day so I can nip out for a bit, and will try and make any weekend meet ups. I go on maternity leave from the 7th November (have saved up loads of holiday, hooray!), so will be much easier then!


My son is currently in nursery 4 days a week, but we're taking him down to 2 days a week from November as it's just too expensive for us to leave him in longer than that... but he's so happy there I don't really want to take him out, so hoping we can make that work. Will be interesting juggling him and a new born... gulp!


I saw a few dates banded about - I could make the 19th or the 27th if those go ahead. I'm away on the 4th, so won't be able to make that one.


Really looking forward to meeting up - I had the best time on my last maternity leave as there were so many like minded people around, so looking forward to this one being every bit as good! Although I am nervous about having a new born in the winter... my son was born in March and it was so easy getting out and about in the spring! I feel it'll take a bit more effort this time round...


Hope you're all well - look forward to meeting you!

AnyaJoeli - I keep telling myself that at least swaddling will be easier (I hope... my son hated it!) and that because it's dark maybe it'll be easier to get back to sleep... um... and by the time the summer comes we'll be well out of the newborn phase so we'll make the most of being out and about... Or am I completely clutching at straws?!!

Hi All,


I would love to join a group as we are moving to Honor Oak Park next month and don't know many people in the area. I am a first timer and due Decemember 16th. Would be great to meet some mom friends! :) I just got back from Holiday and read this post but I am free during the day so hopefully can come to the next meet up.

Hi everyone - lovely to find so many other expecting ladies - i'm due around christmas time so would love to meet up with you all. I work from home so am pretty flexible with days and times.. just let me know what dates you all decide on. I also have a dog so am always around for early morning or late afternoon dog walks too if anyone fancies a walk and chat.. either ruskin park/brockwell or dulwich park. carolynnx

Hi All, just came across this post on the forum. I am expecting my first baby on the 17th January. I am still working full time, planning to work until Xmas, so I am only available in the evenings or weekends.

I saw a post about yoga, I am going to Yogarise in Pechkam on Tuesday evening, Yazmin is really good, but I will try to make it on Saturday mornings to Gaia as recommended above.

It would be lovely to meet up, I hope I can make it to the second meeting!

Hi there, I hope everyone is well.

I thought I'd write as there are a few more people joining up and it would be lovely to have another meet-up.

I know it's tricky for some to do in the week because of work commitments, so what about a weekend again?

I'm trying to scroll back over the thread as I know some had holidays and so on booked in. I think the dates below are free, but I may well stand corrected.


We could do:


Saturday 11 October for morning coffee (I will probably need to bring toddler).


OR:


Saturday 18 October - we go crazy and have a Saturday night meet up in The Actress ( I will most definitely be leaving toddler at home ;-)) They do a mean pizza so we could treat ourselves! (And I am persistently starving so this is all good!)


Does anyone fancy either of these, or both?

I couldn't make the last meet-up but I'd still love to meet some other mums. I can do the 11th Oct (might even be toddler-free as my parents are visiting that weekend! oooh what a treat ;-)

Can't make the 18th though so ditto what Joanna 77 said - if the 18th works better for everyone else I'll come to the next one :-)

      I believe around 57% of the 5,538 people who were part of the self selecting sample making up the original consultation, opposed the LTN. So just over 3,000 people. This was around 3 years ago now. I think there’s something like 40,000+ living across se22 and SE21 🤷‍♂️  The LTN is a minority interest at best. Whilst it’s an obsession for a small number on the transport thread who strongly oppose it, I suspect most locals quietly approve of the improvements made to that junction. …and we still haven’t heard who has supposedly been pressurising the emergency services and how (are we seriously going with the far left / the commies)? Is anyone willing to stand up and support the 'One' claim that people are partially covering their plates and driving through the filters due to inadequate signage? Again, it all sounds a little ridiculous / desperate. Feels like it may be time for them to start coming to terms with the changes.

      Okay Earl, of those 'consulted' how many voices were in favour of the junction and how many against? Were there more responses in favour or more against? This local junction change is being driven by Southwark Labour Councillors- not as you assert by Central Govt. Also, if consultations are so irrelevant as indicators of meaningful local support in the way you seem to imply, why do organisations like Southwark Cyclists constantly ask their members to respond to all and any consultation on LTN's and CPZ's?

      You could apply the same argument to any kind of penalty as an effective deterrent.  Better than doing nothing.

      Check the link I provided above. It gives a very full account of where the push for LTNs came from, (in brief, central government). The consultation did not show that the majority of local residents were against the LTN. Not for the first time, you’ve confused a ‘consultation’ with a ‘referendum’. The outcome of local elections (which many opposed to LTNs excitedly promoted as a referendum on the scheme at the time…until they lost), suggests they are actually quite popular. All the polling on LTNs generally, also shows strong majority support across London.
