Re: daughter not invited to party

That’s really tough. Is there any downside of having a quick chat with the mum? She may not have thought through the impact of not inviting just 2 and may bot be intentionally unkind. This way at least there’s a chance to change it and it may not be a big deal. Then no need to ‘rise above it’ or get...

Re: Review of LOVED by Lindsay's bake at home frozen cookie dough

YES these are the best cookies. Totally agree with our editor on Choc Orange - but also i am a total sucker for the amazing Nutella stuffed one. Only downside is they are too tempting to let them last long in our freezer.

Re: Clapham Common playground refreshed and re-opened

Our family went here for the first time this weekend. Great playground, (though obvs super crowded). But the zip wire seemed unusable in the way it's set up and super high for parents to pull back up. Anyone else find this?

Re: Did you receive a present for giving birth?

Hello, I agree that it is a shame that it's become a thing.  I hadn't heard of it at all til NCT talked about 'push presents'. Feels like there's enough to spend money on when a child arrives and just gives potential for mums to be disappointed at a massively hormonal time given most Dads would have...

Re: Second hand baby bits? Is it the done thing?

For places to look, Fara Baby is great if there's one near you (there is Balham and Clapham) they often have buggies and all sorts of other things. Otherwise Ebay has Everything, so as another poster said may be visit John Lewis, see what you like, then look for it on Ebay.

Re: Buggy clean

Don't use Buggy Pitstop! They were a total pain when i tried to get my buggy cleaned with them before arrival of my first child. They lost parts, delayed return, charged me for it, made me cry more than once (yes perhaps i was on a hormonal roller coaster after baby arrived early and pram was missin...
