Thanks to all who have already signed the Petition! You can either sign it in the Nunhead library or head to 'Bambuni' sign it there and grab a fantastic Flat White whilst yore at it!

Please support our petition to keep Nunhead Library open on Monday mornings for the Baby and toddler sessions 10.30am to 12 noon. It provides a great sense of community for children and parents alike. Southwark Council announced the time changes of Nunhead library to begin on the 2nd April 2012, which would mean that it would no longer provide the community with open morning times from Monday to Thursday. What we are suggesting is that Monday would have the same hours as Friday 10-3 The children use the library regularly and often for those younger children morning times are more convenient. Its staff and the service are an invaluable asset to the families and children that live nearby. The children interact with other children in a safe and friendly environment and introduces them to the wonderful world of books at a young age.? If you use the Nunhead Library facilities for your children or have done so in the past could you please drop into the library and sign the petition, each signature counts!! Many thanks Paula Here's the blurb from the Council.... New opening hours at Nunhead library from 2 April 2012 The Council has recently undertaken a major review of the library service. The objective of the review was to secure savings of ?397,000 resulting from spending cuts imposed by central government, whilst retaining a high quality service. No Southwark libraries will be closing, but we do have to make the required spending reductions and some of the smaller libraries will have reduced opening hours from 2 April 2012. The libraries affected by the budget reductions are Brandon, East Street, Grove Vale and Nunhead. In order to ensure maximum access to the service in these libraries, we have reviewed the times that most people use the libraries and have focused on those hours. From 2 April 2012 the opening hours at Nunhead library will be as follows: Monday 2pm to 7pm Tuesday 2pm to 7pm Wednesday 2pm to 7pm Thursday 2pm to 7pm Friday 10am to 3pm Saturday 10am to 5pm Sunday Closed

Thanks for the info!

Hi I dont have the latest sure start copy of what's on around the area. Any ideas of what to do with my 2yr old Mon-Wed, mainly Nunhead/Peckham area? Many thanks

Hi Anyone know if there will be any craft fairs organised around the area for the Chritmas season? I'd love to get involved and have a stall selling my prints! Any ideas or contact details would be much appreciated? Many thanks

Amazing thank you soooo much hazelnunhead, I've PM'd you!

Hi Has anyone been to this playgroup? If so what's it like & is it just for babies? Thanks

Thanks for the replies, I'll have a look at the John Lewis one, which sounds good. Although muddy feet are making me think twice about getting one. I guess for ?15 it's not exactly breaking the bank!!

Hi As winter is just around the corner, (still hoping for an Indian summer though!) I'm thinking about getting a footmuff for the LO who is 21 months. We currently have a Bugaboo Bee (the old style) When he was very mini we originally had the Bugaboo Cocoon, but instead of forking out on another expensive bugaboo footmuff, can anyone recomend another option that will work just as well? Or am I just as well to use a warm blanket?!? Many thanks

Hi Our little one slept in the Amby Hammock until he was about 11 months and then went straight to a cot. He loved the hammock and literally used to snuggle straight in an nod off, beleive it or not he used to cry to get into it when he was tired! In winter time I put a lambs skin in over the matress for extra comfort, although this isn't necesasary at all. He looked so snug and safe in it, the first time we put him in a cot, he looked lost in it and I know he missed the comfort and security the first few days. I know they're expensive, but I believe they're really worth the extra. We bought one on ebay, really good condition and would definatley use it if we have another one. PS... He also has a perfect little round head!! ;-)

Soooo.... a glass of red & reading some of blog suggestions, inspiration has finally come!! On the dinner menu tonight.... sweet potato & butternut squash chips, falafel & haloumi. Thanks all, Sylviamaria love your blog & yes isn't St David lovely! Now what will I cook tomorrow?!??

Thanks for all the suggestions....still undecided but some of the blog ideas are good.

Oh thanks that would be great!!

Hi I'm bored, bored, bored of cooking the same stuff & am feeling really uninspired as to what to have for dinner this evening, even pretty pictures in cook books aren't getting me in the cooking mood. Also I'm feeling like a lump at the moment, so want to cook something relatively healthy!! Any ideas would be great? Otherwise beans on toast for us this evening! Thanks

All Saints in Peckahm is very family orientated, with lots of activities for children, Sunday Schools etc, very friendly too. We started going about 18mnths ago and the baba loves it :))

Hiya I'd love to give you some advice as to what to do and what works in this situation but I'm afraid I'm in the same boat. But at least you know your not on your own in this. Our LO is now 15 mnths and this has been going on for about 8/10 weeks sometimes up for anytyhing between and hour and 2 1/2 hours. He is teething (only has 4 teeth) and has been quite ill with flu 7 tummy bugs since Christmas, so I know that's partly responsible and he has started walking. I am desperate!!!!!! I have to wake him during the day after his afternoon nap (1 1/2 hrs) he's exhausted too, dear love him. We are in the process of buying a house and at the moment live in a 1 bed, so he is still in our room, in his own cot, but there's no escaping the cries. Ear plugs just don't work when he's only a couple of feet away :( Any suggestions would be much appreciated. I can manage when I'm not in work the following day as I catch up on sleep during his nap ,but I find myself not being able to concentrate in work. I am so fed up using matchsticks to keep my eyes open!!! My plea for a miracle solution goes out!!!

Hi All So I know it's not ED but was wondering if any of you know anything about Consort Estate just off Peckham Rye? Myself and my partner are looking to buy and have been to see a couple of properties there. I suppose our main concerns would be to do with safety within the estate ie coming home at night, or break in etc. Any feedback would be great thanks
