I made my own desk by buying IKEA office drawers to use as plinths(legs) either side and plonking wood on top. East peasy with storage drawers to boot.

That?s the rub though. They have permission from the council in most instances. Particularly Conway.

We?ve had this on 3 different occasions this year. Setting up at night and working at night for a week at a time. Proper drilling and digging the tarmac at midnight etc. It seems pretty standard or at least it?s starting to feel that way. I therefore presume it?s not worth your effort complaining and you are better off grinding your teeth until it?s over.

We need to replace rotten wood windows in a bedroom and bathroom with double glazed units. We are veering between lovely slimline alluminium, faux imitations of that or plain old upvc. If you have had this done recently and would recommend your choice, where you got the, from or have any warnings or advice for me, please do let me know.

We used Rex Wong at AWS Civil and Structural Consultants. Easy, nice and affordable. t +44 (0)20 3287 5266

We recently replaced 3 blown double glazed units with Catford glass. You can see they have good reviews on Google. They were very quick, good and cheap. 02082851116

Belair House in Sulwich village do a cream tea brunch. https://belairhouse.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/brunchmenu2021.pdf Whilst they are a bit older than the usual Peppa fan, this still could be fun https://b-bakery.com/london/bus-tours/peppa-pig-afternoon-tea

How about a motor home for a few days and make it a fun road trip.

Chirpomatic is a great app for identifying bird sound. I use it all the time.

Oops. That will explain why it was so good at identifying worms.

2nd for Covent Garden flower market at vauxhall. Bulk buying allows for savings. We have the indoor tropical look and achieved that over the years but I can also recommend the giant peace Lily?s from IKEA which are easy to care for, massive and cheap. Pearspring on Lordship are good for tips and advice and have some hidden bargains. We found a mix of plants on the floor, then in raised planted, then on the tables then some hanging from the ceiling gave the right effect without too much spend. Also plants in front of mirrors multiplies the effect.

The Italian Sparrows have arrived for their annual holiday near Peckham Rye. Also, can I recommend the app Seek by iNaturist as a site I have been using that is really good for identifying plants AND bugs or animals. It?s free (which is rare), easy to use and owned by the national geographic, set up to register sightings for their scientists to analyse. It?s much better than apps I?ve paid for previously.

Men peeing in all the bushes on the outskirts of the park, constantly, even though there are plentiful toilets nearby with no visible queues, is worse than the noise. Disgusting, flagrant selfishness. We?ve complained to Gala but not a lot they can do other than provide plentiful toilets.

Slightly different question following on from this. Is diy allowed on Sundays? Ie a bit of drilling and hammering in the garden? Seems tricky to get anything done on just a Saturday. Everything on Southwark seems to be related to builders noise and construction.

I have been doing this. It?s not easy. I cut back the calories, I found going to bed early helps me not over eat. I also bought a rebounder (mini trampoline) which is about the most fun exercise I could stomach. You can kind of jog on the spot on it and just dance or jump to music or even just watch Tv and bounce, which I also found bearable. I did splash out on an elastic bungee one though, the spring ones make a racket. Good luck!

Hi, no experience sorry. But I did read about these guys recently and thought it looked good for acne. Cant personally recommend but maybe worth a look. https://www.dermatica.co.uk/

The Paxton have confirmed they have done away with their kids play area.

We recently went to the Rosendale in West Dulwich which has a tiny little play area apart from the tables but still visible, which was great. Hoping for more of the same. I once heard the pub near the back exit of Forest a hill Station had a play area but unconfirmed. https://www.therosendale.co.uk/

Stephen tozer is lovely, defo go with him.

You absolutely can train a dog not to bark at the wrong times, if you want to. It takes a bit of effort but not that much. You can train new dogs or old dogs. You can do it kindly and at no detriment to the dog. So anyone who hasn?t trained their dogs not to do this, in a built up area like we mostly live in, has simply decided to not focus on that training for whatever reason. Unfortunately, amongst many things, the last year and a half has illustrated to me that consideration of others is far from the forefront of a lot of people?s priorities.

Does anyone know of any localish pubs with a slide or play area or space for a child to play a little outside? Used to be loads when I was a child (crosses fingers and hopes this doesn?t turn into a thread about the suitability of kids in pubs).

I agree with Mariamadeit. Here is an article I enjoyed reading and refer to sometimes. http://project-based-homeschooling.com/camp-creek-blog/sliver-or-how-stop-fighting-about-screen-time

I can highly recommend the laundrette in Morrisons Peckham. See their website for costs etc. They have special racks and cupboards etc for rugs and duvets or big machines. https://www.24laundromat.com/

Why not wear a mask though? What?s the harm? Isn?t it better to be safe than sorry? I really don?t understand people?s reservations. Ok, they are uncomfortable, but a little discomfort for potentially helping spread a deadly disease? Come on.....

And of course, Forest Hill Road is a residential road also, having to deal with the ridiculous speeds daily.
