Hi Elise, I am in Bourne so not far from Stamford! I have a 9 year old cavachon 🐶 and a 4month old 👶🏼 I love coffee and dog walks

Hi I’m new to the area too (just a little outside Stamford), always up for walks/coffee etc! I have a 2 yro black lab and I’m due in 8 weeks with a little girl xx

Hi everyone,

Thank you so much for responding! It’s lovely to know that there are others out there who are new to the area! Maybe we should all meet up together but appreciate we might not all be free at the same time! I’ll definitely message you individually so we can organise something 🙂 xx

It would be lovely to all meet up, hopefully we can sort something when we’re all free 😌 xx

Shall we start a little WhatsApp to organise? Might be easier to see when everyone’s free 😌 xx

WhatsApp group is a perfect idea 🙂 xx

If people want to message me their numbers I will get us all set up then we can all chat together 😌 xx

Hey, I am also up for walks and coffee! Lived in the area a couple of years but I’m not from here so always looking to meet new people 😊

I’ve literally just created a group if you’d like to join just send me your number 😌 easier than trying to all chat on here! x

yes that would be lovely! Will message you x

Hiya! I see this is an old post but I’ve just moved down the road in Bourne. Would love a walk, absolutely love all animals 🥰

Can I vent a little 🫣

I thought I had the best parents in the world growing up. Everyone was soo jealous of my relationship with them. I had the “cool and young” parents. But as I’ve gotten older I’ve really struggled. My parents are divorced. The divorce was not kind or easy on any of us. I was given a lot of information by both of them. I was an adult but it was still a lot. My dad isn’t consistent. We talk every few weeks. Sometimes he visits monthly and sometimes every four to six months. It’s rarely planned in advance with only a short notice. When he’s here he’s busy with his job, which I understand. But he often has to take calls and step out. His girlfriend is very different from me and my family and we disagree on a lot. My mom struggles with her mental health. She feels rejected by me. She thinks I am uncaring. I can’t give her the attention & care I was capable of when I was younger and single. It feels like I’m floating in this world without the solid foundation of my parents. I miss when I was younger and thought I had it all. Now I feel so profoundly alone in my grief over losing (or never having) other versions of my parents. Can anyone relate? Any advice? Thanks for being here 🩷

Food and consumables at nursery

My nursery for LO (absolutely love would never change) they didn’t used to charge for bank holidays, then last month they’ve sent out an email saying starting April, they’re going to now charge bank holidays. Said their standard rates aren’t going up (which loads of nursery’s apparently do) and that this just helps with costs.

My question is, although they’re now charging the daily rate (mines covered by the funding) they’re still charging the daily food and consumables??? Which obviously she’s not eating there or using any equipment as they’re closed. I know they’re still charging as at the bottom of the bill it states how many days it’s timed by.

Is this normal?? I just think it’s abit cheeky. As although yes I’m not paying (god send) if I was paying this would annoy me??? Having to pay the daily rate then this on top?

WWYD?

Let's do this right this time 🫣

I saw a discussion about reborn dolls and it got me thinking.

I know they can be really helpful and therapeutic for some people, but I also know others find them uncomfortable or upsetting for personal reasons.

So I’m curious — what I saw a discussion about reborn dolls and it got me thinking.

So I’m curious — what would you do in this situation?

You’re trying to get on public transport with a real child, but there are already two buggies on board carrying reborn dolls. The owners refuse to fold them down, meaning you can’t get on.

What would you do?

My daughter started her monthly…

I know it’s not like a big deal but I am emotional wreck. lol she started at school. We have had the conversation about it and how to handle it, but my baby girl called me crying ; she wanted me. 🥺🥺 And I just cried on the phone and told her mama is coming to get you. Lol
Anyway would a care basket be too much ?
Like with snacks, maxi pads, water, her favorite soda and a teddy bear( which she still collects) lol
Her dad thinks it’s too much and may make her feel uncomfortable.

Do you still have to pay when your childminder is on holiday?

If your childminder goes on holiday, are you still expected to pay?

Annoyingly, mine was away for a week & we still had to pay 🙄🙄🙄

Your go to meals?

What are some easy meals to whip up that your baby actually likes? My baby used to eat a variety when it was only tasting (before 11 months) but now she is almost 1 and really only purposefully eats ravioli, meat sauce, and fruit. I’m glad she eats those but looking for some other core meals I can make her that is also something I’d like to eat since it’s really not feasible to do 2 meals all the time. Looking for breakfast, lunch, and dinner ideas! She doesn’t care for toast which is interesting since almost every other baby seems to looove it - I’ve tried PB, almond butter, regular butter, avocado. Just not a toastie girl I guess.
