It's good, we have a season ticket. They do theatre in the grounds in the Horniman in the Summer, Fridays I think.

I think I'd plan to meet up midmorning and stay till teatime on a sort of rolling basis...mine sleep 10-11 and 2-4ish atm but they do sleep in the buggy.... I wouldn't pick 12, lots of children sleep then plus it's the middle of lunch for those that don't...

Wednesdays a bit rubbish for me as my two are in nursery Tuesdays and Wednesdays (although I could come along on my own and waft about with a glass of wine, pretending to be shocked at how other people's children behave!). Sounds as though there is quite a demand, though, so maybe you could also have ad hoc days once things are up and running. There's clearly no shortage of mums needing their sanity saving.

dads are fine :-)

Yes, I have realised I can't do the first Wednesday of the school holidays (29th), or at least will be doing a nappy demo from 12.30 for a couple of hours, so could come either side of that I guess.


Ivydale breaks up on Wednesday 22nd July, I'm wondering how people are fixed for Friday 24th July? Friday's are good for me in general.

Shame. We can't do Wed as only availaible Mondays and Tuesdays now but if anyone fancies meeting up either Monday or tuesday mornings for a runaround with the toddlers we are always out and about and my 3 year old would always love some new playmates.


Ps I always find that if I sufficienty wear them out in the morning I can convince them of the merits of an afternoon naps so I have a couple of hours of peace.


Have fun everyone.

I'll actually be around every day, so am sure we can get together somewhere Tuesdays too... though mine are 6 and 1, so not really toddlers!

As the weather is looking pretty good at the moment I am thinking of taking my two little horrors (boys - 3.5 yrs and 9 mths)to Dulwich Park tomorrow on a mission to try and wear them out of anyone fancies joining us.


I will be the haggered looking red-head pulling my hair out!

Hello there. I'll also be dragging two little boys around Peckham Park for some of the summer (and most Thursdays and Fridays all year round). We're sometimes to be seen at the one o'clock club or venturing as ar as Dulwich Park if feeling adventurous!


Would love to tag along if anything's planned or anyone meeting up. My two are aged four and one.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
