You should have a look at the Southwark Let's Go Guide here: http://www.southwark.gov.uk/info/200246/activities_and_things_to_do/768/activities_for_under_fives


It gives the details of all the classes offered in local Childrens Centres, including any associated costs (a lot are free and some provide financial support to those on lower incomes)

Hiya,


I don't know if this counts as inexpensive but my baby massage lessons cost ?55 for five 1 1/2 hour sessions - an hour of massage/theory/discussion then half an hour of tea and biscuits afterwards. They're perfect for two month old babies so please take a look at my website if this appeals - I still have a couple of spaces available on my course starting on 3rd December. The venue is East Dulwich Community Centre on Darrell Road.


Good luck with whatever you choose,


Louie

Hi there,


If you like singing there is a fantastic group on Friday afternoons in ED called Hummy Mummies. You don't have to have any singing experience, and it's great fun. You get to sing lots of fun grown-up songs which is a nice change from the 50th rendition of Wind the Bobbin Up! And the kids love it too. This is the website if you want more info: www.hummymummies.com. The cost is ?65 for a full term or ?35 for half a term.


All the best.

I found the crooked well on Tuesday mornings great, as it is more of a chance to meet other mums whilst having a coffee and a pastry, as well as having toys for the babies. I also loved the Ivydale centres baby group on Wednesday afternoon. The Ivydale is a bit harder to get to but either the p 12 or 13 goes there. Crooked well is easy.
Also search on this forum for the summer baby group 2014 you might be able to join a meet up. There are lots of great 1 'o'clock clubs which are free, also look out for brixton ritzy fri mornings that does baby scream, normal movies for mums with tots under 1.
Even cheaper than the ritzy is the Peckham pulse under 1s cinema which is about ?4. You can get chatting to other mums or just have a nice solo w at h of the film. I used to put my daughter in her sling and she'd usually have a reallly good sleep through something horrifically inappropriate. And do a big poo. Always the big poo.

    • Post much better this Xmas.  Sue posted about whether they send Xmas cards; how good the post is,  is relevant.  Think I will continue to stay off Instagram!
    • These have reduced over the years, are "perfect" lives Round Robins being replaced by "perfect" lives Instagram posts where we see all year round how people portray their perfect lives ?    The point of this thread is that for the last few years, due to issues at the mail offices, we had delays to post over Christmas. Not really been flagged as an issue this year but I am still betting on the odd card, posted well before Christmas, arriving late January. 
    • Two subjects here.  Xmas cards,  We receive and send less of them.  One reason is that the cost of postage - although interestingly not as much as I thought say compared to 10 years ago (a little more than inflation).  Fun fact when inflation was double digits in the 70s cost of postage almost doubled in one year.  Postage is not a good indication of general inflation fluctuating a fair bit.  The huge rise in international postage that for a 20g Christmas card to Europe (no longer a 20g price, now have to do up to 100g), or a cheapskate 10g card to the 'States (again have to go up to the 100g price) , both around a quid in 2015, and now has more than doubled in real terms.  Cards exchanged with the US last year were arriving in the New Year.  Funnily enough they came much quicker this year.  So all my cards abroad were by email this year. The other reason we send less cards is that it was once a good opportunity to keep in touch with news.  I still personalise many cards with a news and for some a letter, and am a bit grumpy when I get a single line back,  Or worse a round robin about their perfect lives and families.  But most of us now communicate I expect primarily by WhatApp, email, FB etc.  No need for lightweight airmail envelope and paper in one.    The other subject is the mail as a whole. Privitisation appears to have done it no favours and the opening up of competition with restrictions on competing for parcel post with the new entrants.  Clearly unless you do special delivery there is a good chance that first class will not be delivered in a day as was expected in the past.   Should we have kept a public owned service subsidised by the tax payer?  You could also question how much lead on innovation was lost following the hiving off of the national telecommunications and mail network.
    • Why have I got a feeling there was also a connection with the beehive in Brixton on that road next to the gym
