My second baby is due in February 2010... With number one only 13 months old I am starting to feel slightly scared!! Haven't joined the NCT this time around as memories very fresh with baby number 1... Is anyone in a similar situation and wanting to swap advice/support/tea and cake?? Or any suggestions for groups to join?


Thanks

Rachel

Hi Rachel, and congratulations on the soon-to-be arrival!


You should contact the NCT to be put into a "2nd time Mums" tea group - I did when I had my 2nd baby (my 1st was just under 17 months when no. 2 arrived) and the group of Mums I met were brilliant. Everyone had quite similar age gaps, and it was nice being able to go round to each others houses to chat knowing that your toddler would be catered for and that everyone was going through the same thing. I still meet up with some of them now and have made some very good friends.


We didn't do NCT 2nd time round either, it all seemed just a little too fresh in my mind :)


My kids are now 18 months and nearly 3, so not babies anymore :( but if you fancy coming for a cuppa to get a glimpse of what your life will be like in 18 months time feel free!

Hi Rachel,


There is a bumps and babes group on monday mornings at the goose green community centre (behind the church). I'm mum to a 2 year old and we are expecting baby number 2 in april. I've been along to the group a few times and found it a great place to meet other pregnant mums with toddlers. It was a good opportunity to chat over a cup of tea! It's 10am -12pm (if I remember right) and is organised by the NCT but you don't have to be a member to go along.


best wishes,

Holly

my eldest was 14mths old when the second came along. They are now 22mths and 6mths. So having been through it recently (err going through!) I am happy to meet up and tell you my experience. I remember being very worried whilst pregnant with the second and didn't have a clue how to find out more. Remember googling 'two under two' and things like that. I joined a second mums coffe group as well. also found toddler classes, children centres, and an endless supply of new toys very helpful. pm me if you want to know more - its too horrid for public consumption. Only joking!....

I am due in mid March and looking for other expectant mums-to-be (or mums already!), have joined NCT but trying to save pennies so don't want to do any expensive courses and trying to find others in same boat to meet up with for precious few months of maternity leave. Could you PM me with any local East Dulwich groups? I've read about jelly babies at Peckham Pulse and that sounds good but would like to find other tea & cake groups, pram pushing or similar :)

    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.            
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
    • The Pie House Co-op Deptford Emergency Crisis - Needs YOUR Help. This not-for-profit, worker-run, wheelchair accessible music and arts venue at 213-214 Edward Place SE8 5HD THE CRISIS: From Liv, Grace & Sonia, On Friday 31st October, there was a flash flood in Deptford, and we found ourselves with water pouring in through the lighting fixtures, damaging our electrics and sound system. We have been forced to close for one of the busiest weekends of the year, losing thousands of pounds in income, and are now having to fight our landlords for support with the leak. We are asking all our allies for support as we try and reignite the crowdfunder to reflect the new expensive work that needs to take place, and the gear we need to replace. Thank you in advance for your support so far, and your support going forward. If you have any ideas with getting media attention, or fundraising - please get in touch on [email protected] Even if you like myself have not previously visited this venue, supporting small not for profit venues are vital to the life blood of what 'commmunity' is all about.
