I was going to write a recommendation for John too, and found that someone else had beaten me to it! We have had John back numerous times. He is 100% reliable, does a really good job and is one of the nicest people we've ever had do work for us. And we have a lot! When you have someone in your home you really want to know they're totally trustworthy and nice to have around. John is both these and an excellent decorator too. Kirsty

Thanks again! Think we're nearly there - all on our own ;-)

Many thanks for this - really helpful. K

Hi, My partner and I are totally clueless with technology and want to get our internet for home and mobile devices set up so it is as safe as possible for our kids and possibly with time limits on devices. Does anyone know someone local who can help us with this? I'm sure it's relatively straightforward, but really, we are rubbish! Could do with someone who can walk us through it all - any recommendations would be great. Thanks, Kirsty

Hi all My nine yr old needs to get his eyesight tested and may need glasses. Any recommendations of local opticians that are particularly good with kids and/or have a good selection of frames? As you can imagine, he's not keen... Thanks a lot K

Hi all Not just due to the current temperatures, we?re hoping to get a/c installed in our loft conversion. Can anyone recommend a good firm for supply and fit? Thanks K

We're looking for someone who can advise on buying a new Mac, setting it up for kids to browse safely, transfer music and photos from other devices onto it and generally sort us out particularly in relation to playing music. Can anyone recommend someone?! I think we need someone with people skills as much as technical ones as we are pretty rubbish with IT generally but want to learn! Thanks a lot. K

I love the sound of this Aaron, but I need something for the last week of August and all the holiday clubs seem to have shut up shop by then. What are we supposed to do for that last week?! Any chance you're considering extending? ;-) K

I'm looking for someone who can take a look at our digital camera / storage card to see if they can retrieve photos that my young son accidentally deleted by 'formatting', while on holiday. He is devastated! Recommendations or advice all welcome. Thanks K

Fernando has been sorting out our front hedge with amazing precision for a few years now, but this year for the first time, I asked him to do some work in our garden too. It needed mowing, weeding and a general tidy up. When I got back from work and saw what he'd done I was literally gobsmacked - I just walked around the garden saying "wow!". Our garden has never looked so tidy and well manicured! It looked like he'd cut the lawn with a pair of nail scissors! I couldn't be happier. Highly recommend Fernando. He also is a delight to deal with: professional, polite and reliable, which makes the whole process a joy.

Many thanks for all the responses. I am following up one lead and will definitely come back to others if necessary.

Hi, Do you know a good career coach? I am looking for advice and support in returning to the work place after having kids and looking for someone local I can go over thoughts/ideas/concerns on a 1:1 basis. Any recommendations would be brilliant. Thanks

Hi all We're looking for friendly sports clubs for our boys to join for this season. They are 5 and 7 and we'd try anything really... tennis, football, rugby... Nunhead, ED, Peckham area preferably. Thanks

I went yesterday - gorgeous and no queue! Bit difficult to tell when you will be queueing round the corner and when not - during the week. If it is a hot weekend, just take for granted you will be queueing, but its lovely when you're in. Lido-style so you're on the concrete if you're not lucky enough to get a space on the decking.

Hi, We're still on the search for a good football, rugby, cricket, volleyball, lacrosse, ultimate Frisbee session for 5s and upwards on a Saturday or Sunday morning. We've tried a few of the local football sessions but they've not really grabbed our small ones so it would be great to hear if you go to a brilliant team sport session in the Peckham/Nunhead/ED area. Thanks a lot.
