My Mum is a nutritional Therapist and swears by Biocare vitamins and supplements. We have a children's probiotic in the range that our little ones love. Not sure if it has what you're looking for but all the best. http://www.biocare.co.uk/default.aspx?GroupGuid=1052

Thanks!

Any one know or be willing to take about 30 bags of gravel, useful for garden and building projects. Not ideal for driveways as the gravel is mixed in with topsoil. They are currently in our front garden and we would like them gone as soon as possible. DM if interested. Many thanks

Hi there We were exactly the same and our little man is 4 1/2 also. I dreaded what it would be like if we stopped the lifting. Someone suggested to me that we do it in stages & not completely cut out the lifting, so we talked to him about did he think he could walk back from the after going, which he did and then we got him to walk there and back. Did he think he would be able to find his way if we didn't take hime and he needed to go. Our landing is quite bright withought lights, but you could try a night light if it would make it easier for him. We did this for a couple of weeks and gave him lots of encouragement about it during the day. I also did a lot of talking about when he was a big boy and going to school after the summer he wouldn't need to be picked up during the night and how big boys didn't need to do this and mentioned a few friends who don't do it etc. Without being pushy. I'm a big believer in the drip feeding of an idea and he responds really well to this. I also mentioned that he could get a new piece of lego if he decided to try it. (I'm also a believer in rewards ;) ) Then a few weeks into the the walking to the toilet with either me or my husband he decided he wanted to not go to the toilet in the middle of the night. He got up in the middle of the night all by himself and went to the toilet...I was amazed!! We told him how proud we were etc. From then on in he's only wet the bed once and goes straight through without being picked up or getting up himself, he's been doing this for about 8 weeks now. I can't believe it as we have previously had other toileting difficulties with him so this has been quite a turn around. Any questions give, just pm me. He might be more ready than you think. I'm sorry we didn't do it a couple of months previous. Hope you have success!

Thanks for all the advice. The Bugaboo fairy stepped in and we now have some lovely wheels and are fully mobile again. Though I know she will grow out of it so will def keep suggestions in mind for when the time comes.

Hi I can't seem to get hold of a set of back wheels for the old bee model, they've stopped making them it seems...grrr! So our Bee will be going to Bugaboo heaven, so sad as I have loved the bee, but with a one year old I don't want to fork out on a new one and wondered what other good alternatives there are out there. We do A LOT of walking & public transport so it needs to be quite sturdy but I want something light too, that doesn't cost the earth, is this even possible?! I was thinking a Maclaren might do the job but not sure which model etc? Thanks

Thanks for all the PM's I'll contact you in the next day or 2.

Hi Our back garden fence needs to be replaced. Its a wooden slatted one, we want to replace it with the same but with concrete posts in between. Has anyone done something similar and has a recommendation? Many thanks

Hi A long shot but does anyone got a copy of Southwark News dated 20th Feb knocking about that I could have?! It's got a photo of my son in and I was hoping to show it to him and send it to the grandparents. Many thanks

Great! Thanks for all the suggestions

Hi We're looking into an affordable way to head to New Zealand for a few weeks with the little ones. Just wondering if anyone had experience of house swapping that far afield? And if so where to begin looking, good websites etc? Many thanks

Thanks everyone!

Thanks Trish and Becca, I should have said it's actually after nursery which ends at 3.30, so don't think he's eligable for the after school club where he goes.

Definitely second Craftyfox Market....such lovely things and vendors!!!! http://www.craftyfoxmarket.co.uk/peckham-14-december

Hi Can anyone tell me how much I could expect to pay for after school pick up for 3 hours and possible drop off in the mornings? Trying to work out childcare costs before my return to work :/ thanks

Thanks for the replies, will have to look further a field I think, or perhaps the OH could do it!!

Hi Just wondering if anyone knows if there is a local Santa to visit? Many thanks

The Pound shop is a mecca for this kind of stuff, there are a few of them on Rye Lane. Or you could also try http://www.cowlingandwilcox.com/ in Camberwell.

Your welcome! I'm all for supporting local designers and makers, being one myself :P Anytime I go there is so much that I want to buy for myself never mind anyone else!! Feel free to spread the word to anyone who might be interested.

Not sure where to post this really?! Just wondering if anyone is heading to ikea with a car in the next week? I need a few picture frames and in return could offer you a bottle of wine for the favour of picking up and dropping off. If you're willing and interested please pm me I would be very grateful! Many thanks

Anyone?!

What about something from etsy.com. Lots and lots of individual, handmade items. Maybe a print that you can frame and give to her?!
