Dave and his team recently completed renovation of the exterior of our house in Brockley. I can't recommend them highly enough. Dave was quick to quote, always available to answer questions and his team were thorough and clean. Very happy with the result. Dave Franklin (Berdec Decorators) - Tel: 07956 688622

Thanks Marychambers

Hi all I'm looking for recommendations for good basement tanking companies around East Dulwich and Brockley for a quote. Thanks in advance. Lee

Does anyone have a liability or insurance lawyer recommendation? Someone had an accident on our property and we need some advice. Thanks v much

My son is in yr 1 of the free school and we are very happy with it. My son isn't particularly academic and is more interested in sports/running around/being silly. I was worried that the school might be a bit strict and that it might be too focused on academic stuff rather than creativity however I think it's pretty balanced and if anything it has definitely calmed him down and made him more mature/responsible. He loves it and we're happy too. However i was surprised at how much home work there is (I have no experience of other schools so perhaps it's the same as everywhere) although I guess homework is optional...

Please please please, did anyone take the wrong red Isla bike outside Dulwich park cafe yesterday (23rd). We left a 16inch frame bike outside and I think someone must have picked up the wrong one as a slightly smaller bike (14inch frame) was left in its place. It's a brand new bike so we're really gutted. Fingers crossed the right person sees this. Thanks, Caroline

Cologne and cotton do lovely toddler bedding

Hi, Just reviving this thread. I'm finding it really tough to form an opinion of a school which has only been open a few months and I can't decide whether to prioritise this school on my form or a more we'll established primary school. Does anyone have any opinions? Does your child like the school/teachers? Is it weird there only being 1 years worth of kids there (or will be 2 yeArs of kids there by the time my son goes)? Is this an advantage/disadvantage? The open days were in the evening so it was pretty difficult to get a feel for the school? Thanks x

Hey, We'd love to come too. But will have to play it by ear as both the twins have bronchiolitis so can obs only make it if they are recovered. Caroline xx

We went to this last Saturday and had a brilliant time. It was good to do something that we all enjoyed (we usually end up doing something that is just for the kids whereas this is focussed on the adults aswell as the smalls). Highly Recommended x

I used the exercises in this book to help close the diastasis last time: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/0738209813 (It's called "lose the mummy tummy" in case the link doesn't work). And it suggests using a scarf or a towel as a splint when doing some of the exercises. I'm using the exercises after this pregnancy aswell but the gap is much bigger this time round so I'm hoping it is still effective

Yep, 11.30ish rye cafe. Am running 10mins late though

Hi BellendenBear. I'm around today. Would love to meet the twins if you're still free? Caroline x

That sounds like a good idea. Monday's work for me also x

Hiya, Sorry I couldn't make this in the end. Look forward to catching up at the next meet x
