Hi all,


I've just been to my second meeting of this group. They meet once a month in East Dulwich. It's a really useful place for entrepreneurs to meet, get ideas, share skills and basically bounce ideas off each other. I thought it was a great forum and they are looking for more people to attend.


Go to http://mothersinbusiness.co.uk/ for more details and to register for the next session. It's well worth going along.

Hi there,


I am not yet a mum (due to be in Feb 2010) but I am wondering if I can join the ED mums in business, or do I have to be a ready made mum, so to speak!?


I am starting a part-time book selling business for babies, toddlers and beyond as well as selling books of interest to older children - fabulous fiction, sports, art, science, maths and even languages to name a few. Such a shame I missed the event yesterday (12/08/09) as I was trying to contact Marilyn at All Fired Up to see if I could use the back room for my event. It would be great to be able to get into this with MIB support.


I am struggling to find a venue to hold my events as my flat is at the top of a conversion and isn't best designed for many babies and buggies. If you have any ideas of venues, I would be really greatful. I will also be looking to expand the business to local nursaries and daycare centres so again your advice wuld be invaluable.


Anyway, enough ranting, let me know if I can be a mum-to-be- in business and join your forum as it sounds fab.


Thanks,

Fiona

Of course you can. I was just a frustrated HR Manager with a fabrics obsession (nowhere close to having a business) when I started going to the meetings.


It's a pretty informal set up - don't expect power networking, but really great if you need some help getting your ideas off the ground, and especially good for helping you sort out the practicalities of starting a business - there's always someone who has come up against whatever challenge you're trying to work through and can help you get it sorted!

Hi,


I would love to come along...although not too sure if I qualify as I am not a mum (as yet)?! You probably know me as the dance teacher on EDF but I have recently started a new venture-Swiss skincare and would really like to take part in any of your meetings if possible... I am sure these will be of a great help in finding solutions etc...


Many thanks,


Joanna.

Do you think anybody there would like advice on property law - taking a lease of premises, landlord issues, buying business premises etc etc.


I'm a mum/commercial property solicitor and would be happy to come down to one of your events if anybody would like to chat about it.


(although I secretly want to run my own cake shop!).

Hi

I am a mum who is thinking of leaving the security of my current employ and stepping into the heady world of setting up a business (and I am a mum).


I can't load the website or make tonights meeting, but i'd like to come to the next one if anyone can let me know when and where?


Thanks in advance

Hello,


I am a local new Mum. I support my husband's IT business and am a freelance communications consultant, and although I am loving motherhood, a Mums-in-Business monthly meeting sounds an ideal way to keep my brain wired into the business. Please let me know when the November meeting will be and I hope to see you there.


Every success,


Mia

    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
