I need a reasonably handy person with a larger vehicle/van to help me remove some furniture (some to tip, so to another location) TOMORROW and for a reasonable price. Any takers/recommendations? Thanks in advance!

I found my son's tutor through the PATOSS website, which has a database of accredited tutors. You have to register with an email (for free) to search in your area, but then you can contact tutors directly. https://www.patoss-dyslexia.org/SupportAdvice/TutorAssessorIndex/ Our tutor is great but unfortunately she's not taking on new students at the moment. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

We have used Peter Bennison and his firm and sure, a few times he wasn't bang on time, but a lot of times he was and sorted things out quickly, professionally and reasonably. There have been a few times I had to wonder why someone had been recommended on here in the first place, but Pete is a good tradesman and it's just a shame he didn't get to you that day. Jessica

We just used South London Fencing to repair a fence at a rental and they were very professional and reasonable. http://www.south-london-fencing.co.uk

The learning support department at my sons' school recommends this course/school: http://www.yes-tuitionandtraining.co.uk I believe they do half-term courses and also a class that runs on the weekends. Due to a schedule conflict, my oldest wound up taking a course with this school, which ran a course in Fulham. http://www.nmtouchtyping.co.uk

I am a landlord and anywhere around ?70 quid seems to be the going rate if you want someone reputable. I think the least I have paid is ?60-something. British Gas engineers also charge slightly over ?70 unless you hold a home care agreement with them. We've used JA Powers and found them reliable and helpful in that you receive a soft copy of the certificate via email.

We use BAMS cleaning for our pre- and post-tenancy cleans. They are very thorough and dependable, and pleasant! Call Slywester on 07707479906. They also do a great job cleaning carpets.

I took my generally not-interested-in-theme-park-or-kids-club-camps-etc-joining children and they also loved it. They still claim to have robbed the bank... They were 7 and 9yo at the time and we managed to go on a day when most other kids had gone back to school and it was not crowded at all. We stayed the full 4 hours and in that time I was free to leave and go roam the mall a bit myself, since they have security bracelets on which mean they can't leave the site without you (and they don't need you at all, more fun to run their own show). It is expensive but you are likely to use the full 4 hrs. Sorry I don't know about any deals but maybe check groupon or similar! I would also not bother bringing very young kids.

In one of the Dulwich Festival's fantastic performances, Dr Phil Hammond presents a comic look at the future of the NHS. The NHS is our most treasured institution, gluing us together as a humane society and treating us according to need not ability to pay. It?s also more dangerous to use than bungee jumping. After seventy years of political deforms and underfunding, the NHS is on its last legs and staff stress levels are off the scale. In this highly subversive comedy, Dr Phil calls for an end to top down disorganisation of the NHS, and launches his own ?bidet revolution? ? from the bottom up. Learn how not to use the NHS, how to survive when you have to and how to die properly when your time comes. Dr Phil has been Private Eye?s medical correspondent for 24 years and has appeared on shows such as Have I Got News for You, Jack Dee?s Helpdesk, The News Quiz, The Now Show and Question Time. ?If Dr Phil were a medicine, you should swig him by the litre?
