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?

Sorry milkmaid, tues 22nd is the only one I can't make. I can do wed 23rd or tues 29th or wed 30th if any of these are any good....
I can't believe you are already in the swing of baby activities... I don't think I made it to a library session for about 4 months with my first. Think I was still in shock!!!

milkmaid1510 · 15/08/2006 15:56

sure - any dates are honestly ok for me! i meet up with some other mothers from the gp at the horniman on wednesdays in the early afternoon, so hard on wednesdays unless before 1.30pm.

let me know - i'm ok with any.

Hi Twirl, Pumpkinpi, Milkmaid etc... I'm a new member, based in Beckenham with a 10 month old. would love to meet up as this summer cabin fever is getting too much for both of us. When's your next meet? Susie M.

emismum · 16/08/2006 08:26

To: T,P & M. Girls, I've just re-read your past messages and now realise that your babies are much younger than mine, so if you're not keen to meet no worries, we won't be offended. Susie.

milkmaid1510 · 16/08/2006 11:23

shall we try and meet at the sing along at the forest hill library on the 29th aug at 10am? then for others who can't make it we can meet them at the horniman cafe at 11.30am, after the sing along? how does that sound?

emismum and others - feel free to join us!

emismum · 16/08/2006 11:46

Milkmaid, the singalong on 29 Aug sounds great, we'll be there. What do you look like, i.e. how will we recognize you ? Susie M and little Emily.

milkmaid1510 · 16/08/2006 16:43

i'm easy to recognise - i'm the little filippino lady with short black hair and the black mountain buggy urban! =) so if you are ever in the forest hill area and the horniman that's me!

emismum · 16/08/2006 17:25

OK Milkmaid, we should recognize you. I'm blond, short and usually wearing pink. DD is very very very blond and usually travels about in a very pink flowery stroller (on sunny days) which we call the pink peril ! See you on 29th. Suz.

milkmaid1510 · 16/08/2006 20:19

am also happy to try meet up next week tues if anyone is available?

emismum · 16/08/2006 22:10

Milkmaid, would like to but the car is going in for a service so will not be mobile for Tuesday and Wednesday. Sorry.

I'll be at the cafe on 29th, but probably won't make it to the library.

PumpkinPi · 21/08/2006 17:06

Hello everyone...How rude of me to suggest meeting up - then forgetting to keep an eye on the action . Well it doesn't look like I've missed anything yet, so I'll keep the 29th free for the singalong and coffee. I haven't lived in the area very long, so could someone tell me where the library is?

milkmaid1510 · 21/08/2006 17:30

hi pumpkinpi -

the library is on Dartmouth Road...

coming down the hill on London Road (as i assume you are coming from that direction if you live close to the horniman museum,)turn right at Barclays bank.

stay on that side of the road and keep walking until you see no more shops - the last one is the organic food store Provender. keep walking about 30 yards or so - you will pass the closed down swimming pools. the library is just beyond there on the corner of Dartmouth Road and Thorpewood Ave.

to get into the children's section with your pram/stroller, turn the corner and go through the back entrance - ring the bell. =)

i'll be there tomorrow 22nd aug if anyone can make it. otherwise, see you all next week! melinda

PumpkinPi · 21/08/2006 19:05

Thanks Milkmaid. I know where the swimming pool is, so I'll able to find it. I'll try to pop along tomorrow.hopefully see you then.

milkmaid1510 · 24/08/2006 18:30

bump - just in case there are others out there...

emismum · 27/08/2006 08:36

Hi all. Still hoping to make the singalong on 29th, but may have to settle for just coffee at Horniman, as my dd's breakfast time is getting later and later and we're coming from Beckenham. Suz.

Twirl · 28/08/2006 21:36

Are we still on for tomorrow? I will be at the Horniman cafe at 11.30 but won't make it to the library.

hi I LIVE IN DULWICH ARE THERE ANY MUM BABY GROUPS OTHER THAN THE ONE ON TOWNLEY ROAD IVE GOT A 4MNTH OLD (GOSH SHES GROWING FAST!!!LOL)
EMAIL ME IF YOU CAN THANKS

Twirl · 26/09/2006 22:12

Hi 6hourslabour. There are parent/baby/toddler sessions at Dulwich library on a Thursday morning and afternoon; an NCT bumps and babes coffee morning on a Friday 9.30 at St Faiths Church, Red Post Hill; and if you get in touch with the NCT they will put you in touch with a 'tea group' of other mums and babies of a similar age. Hope this helps! I have metup with Milkmaid and Pumpkinpie from this thread so perhaps we can have coffee again soon and you can join us? We all have 3/4 month olds too.

booboobunny · 27/09/2006 18:39

hi,
i am in beckenham with a 3 month old bundle of joy. i am feeling a bit abandoned after the initial post-birth rush of friends. any chance i could butt in on your little party??

emismum · 29/09/2006 21:42

Hi Booboobunny, there's a very good NCT mums, babies and toddlers group on Mondays, 10am to 11.30am at the methodist church hall on Bevington road (no religious connections). No need to be an NCT member to come along, I'm not and we've been going every week for the past few months (excluding the summer closure). Its very well structured with a lovely and friendly soft play corner for the 0-6 months old babies. Entry is £1.00 until they are 1 yr old then it goes up to £1.30 !! See you there maybe.

emismum · 29/09/2006 21:48

Milkmaid, I must appologise for not turning up after all the chat in August. My car has let us down big time and we have been stranded in Beckenham since mid August while it goes back and forth to the garage. I still live in hope that the problem will soon be sorted and we will be mobile again.
