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?

Ditto to that Palacemama! Huge congrats! Look forward to meeting the LO at some point when all the newborn mayhem has calmed down a bit. So BB and others - does this mean that we are on for this Thursday at Hornimans?

Hi. If you meet-up at the Hornimans on Thursday let me know what time and I'll try and join you. Although mine will probably be a very brief stop as DD's not great at sitting down in cafes and I'll have to take her to the park afterwards.
And Floating: I don't recall chatting to someone at the Phoenix with a DD of a similar age, although I'm good with faces so will probably recognise you. Hope the potty training's going well. I'm still persuading my DD to give it a go!

3.30 on Thursday is cool. I won't be able to stay long as I have to babysit for a friend around 5 but would be great to see you!

BB - sorry to hear about your LO - I'm sure she'll be fine. Not sure I'm going to be able to make it tomorrow as I've got a health visitor coming round to do DS's health check. She's said she'll be here at 2pm but if it's anything like the last time, I could still be waiting for her at midnight! If I don't get there, will DEF be there for the next one!

Yikes! BB - really sorry but won't be able to make it tomorrow - DS has got a photo shoot. It starts at 2.30 and could be over in a flash or could go on a bit. If we're out of there before 3.30 I'll drop by the cafe as the shoot is only in East Dulwich - obv will understand if you're not there! How about next week though? Are Friday's the only day you can do? REally want to catch up with you!

Hi BB - next week Would be good. DS is up for a poss shoot next week but won't know until next week when it will be (typical - usually only get last minute notice). Also, this could be the last time I get to use the net for a few days as DELL are having to reboot my whole system (or summat like that) tonight as laptop is up the spout!!! I can't LIVE without the net!! So not sure as to what to do. DELL are ringing in about 5 mins so if you don't hear from me over the next few days it's not because I don't want to meet up next week - it's because I can't contact you! Will check in as soon as I can.

Hello,
I'm a new member - but I admit I've been lurking for a while now, so I hope you all don't mind me joining in. I live in Forest Hill - near the Horniman, and I desperately need new mums in the area for company!! I have an eight week old DD, and we are both getting cabin fever. Help!!

Twirl · 08/08/2006 10:56

Hi Pumpkinpi, sounds like we are neighbours as I am in the same area. I have a 6 week old ds and 2 year old dd. If you fancy a coffee in the horniman let me know as I too am getting cabin fever !

hi there - i'm a new member and like twirl and pumpkinpi, i am getting cabin fever as well! i live by the horniman as well, so could meet up at a drop of a hat really! my ds is 8+ weeks.

Twirl · 14/08/2006 22:59

Hi Milkmaid1510 and Pumpkinpi.
This is great , if there are the 3 of us living so close to each other with babies so close in age we should definitely get together. Tuesdays and Wednesdays are good for me as my toddler is at nursery so I can actually have conversations with people without running round after her!!! Shall we arrange a date?

milkmaid1510 · 15/08/2006 09:02

then at the moment tuesdays are best for me out of your suggestions.

next tuesday then in the afternoon at 2pm? or we can meet at the forest hill library in the morning at 10am for the baby/toddler sing along and then have a chat after at the horniman?

anyone else out there in forest hill/dulwich area who would like to join us next tuesday 22nd aug for sing/song and/or meet at horniman cafe at 2pm?
