Message from Louise Bentley and baby Joshua (August 2007)

Dear Monica I have recently started a little business of my own!! I am planting window boxes for people who don't have the time to do it themselves. I aim to plant a combination of evergreen and seasonal plants so that with bit of updating through the seasons they will look beautiful all year round. I now have a few customers who are all happy and am looking for more! To check my website click

Message from Jacquelyn Crow, midwife at C&W/Eileen Clinic in Putney - August 2007

Dear Monica, I am a midwife from Chelsea and Westminster based at Eileen Lecky Clinic in Putney. I am trying to get hold of some teaching aids for breast feeding classes and was wondering if you would be able to post a notice to your members to see if anyone had any old nursing bras/breastpumps/breast shells/nipple shield etc they were planning to clear out and would be willing to donate to us.

Message from Suzanne and baby Alexander

I just wanted to give everyone a little reminder about the congestion charge. It has now extended and unfortunately I got caught out taking Alexander to C&W hospital last week. The zone starts at the last junction before the hospital so I got a £50 fine for a matter of a few yards!
