Hi there


I'd like to try and come along - haven't met any of you before but would love to. Not sure of my plans for late Nov and early Dec but when the date is decided, I will come if I'm free. We have a couple of dinners that are coming up before Christmas with friends but the dates haven't been finalised yet.


Take care

oh dear, just read the 'naughty mummies' thread, thats some pretty aggressive marketing tactics...I wonder if the ladies posting know that we can see the only times they have ever posted comments are to push that event? hmmmm?

Anyway, 5th not good for me, hoping to be in wales, 12th is better x

Good idea.

If I'm allowed to come (no small babies now, youngest nearly 6, but would love to meet you all & put faces to names) I can come 5th or 12th - though it might be after casualty ends, a sad addiction but one I just can't break. Has anyone suggested a venue yet?


curlykaren; I know the Mum who is trying to start this little business. She'd be upset and horrified if she thought that her post came across as an aggressive in anyway. I think that what you may be reading as 'aggressive marketing technique' is actually excitement and enthusiasm from a tired new Mum setting out in the world of business. And the fact that it's her first post (under that name at least, I don't know if she's been on this forum before under another name) is possibly due to not understanding forum etiquette. She's a dear, kind woman just trying to do something nice for other Mums whilst making a small profit to compensate her for the work involved organising an event. Maybe we could cut her a little slack?

sillywoman - I don't think 'naughty mummy' herself posted anything that was agressive, it was the two

supporters (both first time posters) who came across as agressive. I suspect they were friends simply

trying to support her, but unfortunately their posts were a little over zealous and may well have put

other people off the idea of going to the event because they didn't sound very friendly. In actual fact

they were really just showing huge loyalty to a friend I'm sure, but even so, no need to stoop to name

calling etc......


I really didn't mean to start a war, I just felt more clarity was needed on what the ticket price would get

you....my budget for a night out these days is limited (gosh I am a sad woman these days), so no good for me if

I was going to need a wad of cash on top of the ticket price in order to have a good time. My viewpoint may even

be valuable to her in thinking about how her business and events work in the future.


I do wish her well in her venture - I'm sure there will be plenty who can afford the ticket price, and will have

a fantastic night out, and I genuinely would like to hear feedback from those that attend.


Anyway, don't want to go off at a tangent with this thread.


Do hope you can make the EDM's drinks, would love to meet you face to face.....I would think not having a small baby any

more means you will be able to have far more fun than the rest of us (baby D still waking for a milky snack at 5am every morning precludes much wildness on my part!!).

Firstly apologies for the thread hijack but just read this post - I've been a member of the forum for ages, not a first time poster, and used to post under a different name which my husband demanded I give up as it's his ebay name and he feels quite territorial over it (god knows why!) anyway - I name changed from special chocolates to Annette Twitcher.


Secondly apologies if my post seemed overzealous - but I wasn't aware that infrequent posters are not allowed to challenge those who post regularly. I thought the forum was for everyone - obviously not so much.


I was away over the weekend and that's why I only posted once or twice.


Anyway I'm going back to lurking!

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • 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".
