Sydenham, Forest Hill, Crystal Palace and Dulwich

[Holymoly321]

I'm a new mum with a 7 week old DS. I'm used to working in Central London in quite a stressful job and so am all new to this SAHM stuff. Wondered if there were any other mums in the area who would like to meet up?

Ok BB, shall we try for this Friday?

Ooh! Rather you than me! Fingers crossed she'll be fine. DS was a lot better after the second lot than when he had his first. Anyone else up for a meetup on Friday? 2.30 @ Horniman Cafe...

BB! Not sure that I'm going to be able to make Friday - sorry - there is a possibility that I'll have to go into work for a 'discussion' about my return to the job - really don't want to be thinking about all that yet but what can you do? They can't confirm until this afternoon but wanted to warn you! May have to leave it until next week - are you around?

Well hello BB! Glad someone is still out there! Fancy trying to org a meet up next week sometime? how's it all going anyway? You back at work now?

Hi there, I've got a 21 month old daughter, I'm now working now from Mon-Thurs in central London, got Fridays off, wld love to meet up with other mums.... wonder where you all meet and does it ever happen on Fridays?

sounds great -shame I missed it last Friday if you met, actually I'll be having a picnic next Friday at Dulwich Park with 2 other mums, let me know if you are around...will be nice to meet up

hello, we are planning to move at the end of july(to any landlords out there we're looking to rent a two bedroom garden flat-very good long term, house proud tenants, non smokers!), we're looking at areas like norwood, sydenham, dulwich and peckham. what are the best primary schools in these areas? i am jumping the gun as my girl is only six months but i guess i need as much background info as possible..many thanks, nessmc

Just wanted to say hello! I am due my first baby on Saturday (June 3) though I doubt it's going to arrive - not a twinge! I would love to meet up with some other Mamas in a few weeks time. I live just off Thicket Rd, SE20 - right over the fence from Crystal Palace station!

Well I'm up to about 3 stone, it's due tomorrow and not a sign!! I reckon a visit to Palace Spice in Crystal Palace might be in order!!

Am definitely up for meeting some mums and babes in a few weeks time - I will keep checking in!

Hello everyone! I know, I know, it's been AGES!!! Well the sun has decided to come out now and so why don't we try and arrange another met-up? BB, Thurs afternoons are good for me or Friday pretty much anytime. Up for it anyone?

Hi Floating on the Med. I haven't logged on for ages but just spotted your mail. My DD's a month younger than yours and I'm planning to start potty training tomorrow (I keep putting it off!). I sometimes go to the phoenix on a Friday. I won't be there this week but I'll let you know next time so we can say hi.
Happy to join the next meet-up if one's been arranged.

BB!! Yes - am def up for next Thursday. But DH's parents have our car at the moment (long story) so could we make it Horniman's Cafe - not sure I can face the walk to Dulwich (or trying to get on the bus!) DS is doing great - he's crawling around commando style at the moment and getting into everything!

Hello again,

Just to let you all know, I had a baby boy on Thursday June 8th! Born at home in Crystal Palace, and I got my waterbirth! He weighed 8lb 13oz, I had no pain relief (other then TENS and water) - despite it taking 24 hours to get from 4cm to his birth! We have called him Jude - and I really look forward to meeting with some of the local mums/dads and babies very soon!
