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!

    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
    • I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.  
    • Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
