Peckham Rye gardeners,(tu) lovin your work!

The election campaign said funding had been secured for the new pavements bollards etc, anyone know when this is starting?

Good idea, really want a toy kitchen for about a month, (by which time they would probably have had enough!)

Michael Davern has put his name to his post, not exactly sneeky. Its good to open this debate on a public forum.

Maybe the Sun just wanted to stir up some publicity, it seems to have worked.

Anyone know if the Cherries on Peckham Rye are edible?

Went on rant about climate of fear, then thought about it and decided it was a bit off topic, so edited!

Thank you dodo1 and James Barber for all the info :)

I know its totally the fault of thoughtless passengers but the rubbish trapped behind the wire is terrible, might it be better if the wire were removed and more bins put in?

My lot had an exciting evening, went to bed late and are all still snoozing. I work up at 6 as usual and have been twiddling my thumbs since. Its quite nice to be looking forward to them waking up all warm and dozy.

Once again this may be more about receptionists than policy, and the title is clearly rude and possibly not worthy of responce ...... ........ oh ar#e.

Recreational rage?

Had similar problem, went private, they can see you really quickly and costs about ?100. Good luck

Ho hum, i think i may have asked a silly question...... but got a very sensible answer!

Been pondering this and having read the recent stuff on bad behaviour in classrooms been thinking about the little things that send big messages. What should you say as you send your honey off to school?

As i have already said bagles in whitechaple, but also shoreditch and a short walk to the childrens museam. Edited to add link http://www.eastlondonlines.co.uk/

Sorry dbboy think i'm tube happy.

I must disagree, Sema Thai's Pad Thai seriously good, and go out of our way to get it. Its far from perfect but they take seafood seriously and their dishes are 'the real deal' IMO. .........hungry now

Went on the new tube at Honor Oak and came home with bagles from whitechaple for breakfast. It was tubalishious! Its a funny link up, a bit of a circle, think Green Park and Bond street are now easy to get to. Anyone else found great days/ evenings out? PS not sure if calling it the Tube is correct, but i'm just enjoying it! Tube tube tube:)) Edited to add.. Just read train post, sorry did not realise it was such a hot topic.

Wow,i'm amazed you all managed so long. My early maternity leave was the best, and probably most expensive thing i have ever given myself. Had some complications which meant i should avoid stress and had a stressful job so went asap, 30 weeks. Never bored, pregnant yoga, sleep, hanging out with bump, catching up with friends, cafe life, reading, it was WONDERFUL and i was able to go into the birth rested. I went quite early with my second too. Everyone is different and money is an obvious issue, but dont worry too much about boredom, as an ED mum, loads to do!

ClaireinSE22 know what you mean about hating to be manipulated, but somehow i dont mind when its by someone who sells such lovely cushions... i should probably worry about that,... but would probably get distracted from my worry buy surfing JL's kitchen furniture.... oh dear

The Lib Dems explanations are bobbins. James, I understand you have to tow the line but they have lost a lot of trust/ good will over this. Any chance it could still be changed as a show of good faith/ to help neighbouring boroughs out?

Yes, they are chicken! Labour is campaigning for them to put it back to the origional date, and have it in line with neighbouring boroughs, but they clearly have so little faith in their ability to solve the school problem that they won't move it. I have been a bit surprised that they have gotten away with it, glad you raised it.

W**F said 'Fair but firm is how life seems to work most harmoniously. I would start as you mean to go on,put him in his own cot at the foot of the bed. You need your bed to rest in & it's your sacred place. I know couples who have continued under duress to share the bed & eventually it has driven them to distraction. Lastly knackered parents are no use to anyone, let alone them selves.' I agree with loads of w**f's comments, this v's the article posted by Fuschia, we all feel so pasionately about this one. My penny's worth, there is lots to try before controled crying. There is a time and a place for 'mum knows best', and controled crying, but there are lots of things to try first. My top tips are 1. no naps past 3.30, 2. loads of lovely bedtime routein including bath, 3. put down happy and awake as i'm convinced the way they go off to sleep is the way they get back to sleep. 4 if all else fails and they are old enough (at least 8 months), and its turning your and your baby's lives to poo, three nights and its done. Its a trade of between three nights upset v's having a stressed out, crazy mother/ family, which is also not good for a baby. PS knew someone who grew up in a 'tribe' often quoted by anthropologists, i asked her about carrying/ co sleeping etc, she said be strict with sleep as otherwise they would keep the whole village up!:) Hope this is useful, good luck

Also totally agree with Fuschia, pick battles, two strikes and out, no means no, safty first etc. Started out as a really layed back parent and totally changed my mind mid terrible two's. They really like to know where the line is, and are so much happier for it.
