Hi, my partner has decided to stay at home with our son rather than put him in nursery and work around him. Are there any other similar dads in the area I could connect him with? There are lots of mum things but not sure how to find dad things.

Hi I had a baby on 20 Nov 20 but only just found out about this group. Can you add me please. 07961416343, Clare

Thank you

Has anyone installed a water softener and could recommend anything. Thanks

Hi is anyone else experiencing terrible postal service from Royal Mail? I?ve had no second class post for 1 month now and am expecting 4 or 5 items that haven?t shown up. I?m on Landells road and it?s the 29 March.

Hi Has anyone successfully been able to draft proof their Victorian front door and been able to close it as well! I understand that it is possible to route some material into the door to help. if any one has done it it would be great to hear how. Thanks Clare

I have no problem with them charging, the fee is very small. But what is nuts is that they will provide a 4th bin that can be knocked over by foxes and have to make another collection when it all gets composted in the same place anyway. To register for the service you have to order another garden bin when we already have one. All these extra costs go way beyond the ?25 they are charging. It?s nuts. Has anyone made sense of this?

So sorry to hear about the lovely Gordon. Im devastated to read about this. RIP Gordon.

WE had a leaflet from Southwark saying they will charge ?30pa for collection. I think this is reasonable. However it seems that people are not putting using this bin for their food waste bags, or they would be used more. I encourage everyone to use the facility of Food Waste collection as this is a wonderful way to reduce waste and you can buy back the compose created from the Tip in Old Kent Road. We are very lucky that Southwark provides this service and I dont mind at all paying a bit extra a year for it.

Yes this is a great service. You can also take along a measuring jug to fill up bottles. Also has anyone used Naked Larder in Herne Hill. Great way to buy dry stuff without packaging.

Can anyone recommend a local structural engineer? Thanks Clare

Hi my newphew is visiting, he could help you out. ill PM you my number

Thanks for the info about the anchor points mynamehere. You say contact our councillors. Sorry to be ignorant but i have no idea how. Can you help? Clare

Hi I want to use a small builder to do my loft conversion and he has come recommended. But I work long hours and so cannot keep on top of the work. Is there an experience local project manager out there would consider running the project for me? Thanks Clare

Hi Has anyone had any installed recently that they would recommend? There seem to be so many to chose from.

Hi I need to find a planning expert to advise on a tricky planning application with Southwark Council. Can anyone recommend any such person?

Hi through changed circumstances, I now have room to offer a couple of people a lift in my van to Glasto. Im going Tuesday night at about 6ish. If anyone needs a lift, let me know. Clare

I just realised that it wasnt Guna Nua who made the offensive comment, sorry about that, it was Razors! Take it back, Razors. Sorry Guna Nua, i was just so shocked, more shocked that having my phone pinched!

Thanks for your messages, it definately is true, why does it seem so odd, and yes Ratty that is a simlar description - how did you know? I dont think that screaming would have got my phone back, he would have bolted and that would have been the end of it. Surely better to sort out your own problems that scream, cause a scene and not resolve it? I did try to find the security guard but he wasnt around. And Guna Nua, I dont think your comment is suitable for this forum - not the innocent brush off of your later post, i think its offensive. Most people in ED are really nice and honest and I like to believe people are innocent until proven guilty, I dont want to go about like a paranoid lunatic, but yes appreciate leaving bags open with phones sticking out is stupid and I will curb my behaviour.
