I'm looking for an Ofsted registered childminder in Herne Hill/Tulse Hill, any recommendations? TIA xx

Can anyone recommend a reliable cat sitter please? I'm in Thurlow Park road near Tulse hill and will need someone to look after my 8yo cat for 4 days only, please pm for more info. Thank you

And don't forget the childminder's rate vary quite a bit, I pay ?5ph but some can charge as much as ?10. I go to all nearly new sales around and have saved a lot over the years doing that. I have no family in the UK whatsoever apart from my husband, it's hard but we manage fine. Somehow you just make it work and never look back!

Wondering the same thing, I sent an email last week but no one replied yet.

I've pm'd you.

Has anyone been recently? Is it still on Tuesday mornings? I walked past it last week and the place seemed to be closed. Otherwise can anyone recommend a Tuesday playgroup for a almost 1 year old? Many thanks x

We have used gumtree and edf, both cars were very reliable and unbelievably cheap. Keep an eye here and gumtree, you never know what you will find. Best of luck!

I have been secretly dreaming of becoming a midwife since my daughter was born but I don't think I'm ready for full time studying, long hours etc with a one year old to look after. I've talked to a couple of midwives in the past few months and I will definitely look into this when my kids are older and I have some extra time for myself.

Yes, Southwark will pick it up, just fill out the form or call them to arrange the day/time. http://www.southwark.gov.uk/info/200084/recycling_and_waste/1667/bulky_waste_collection/1

You are not alone, It's silly but I find some groups a bit intimidating and being anxious only makes it worse. I have a 10 month old and live near peckham rye station, let me know if you want to meet up sometime. X Ana

I was with dmc crystal palace road when pregnant and I'm pretty sure my midwife (Lanes) said they only see women who are registered with the cpr branch. Changed to Chadwick road when my daughter was born so not sure how it works, but I can say that their baby clinic is very good and of course much easier to get an appointment! Hope that helps x

Went in there today and spent ?6 on 2 tiny slices of cake then when I asked for a carrier bag this woman looked at me like I was asking for free food and said they don't normally give carrier bags as it's wasteful and expensive! Never again.

Oooh the "flowering".. my midwife said something similar I will never forget, very distressing indeed!

Hi pandrns, there's a bumps and babies group tomorrow afternoon if you're free, it would be great to see you there!

Anne Marie on north cross road is excellent.
