HI All, I am considering Portugal for the May half term break. it would be myself and my 5 years old daughter. ideally somewhere easy to get to from the airport, a resort type place with plenty to do for little ones so mummy can have a little down time too :-). Any recommendation welcome! thanks!

My 14 months daughter had patches of eczema on her cheeks and forehead for a while and Aveeno Baby wash has helped a lot. I also use the Aveeno Baby cream on her legs and knees almost on a daily basis as the skin tends to get a little greysh in that area. I also second Curly Kids shampoo, makes my girl's hair very soft and smells nice too!Every now and then I run a bit of argan oil through her curls to keep them hydrated.

No TE44, in Italy is part of the routine vaccination programme.From this year at least, I know it first hand.

Not very well researched though...some European countries already have MenB as part of routine vaccinations.As well as Epat B vaccine...

Newlook have some good ones, sometimes they are even on sale! I got two pairs for a fiver each on sale and I still use now (7 months after having my baby) a pair as they are so comfy!

So sorry for you OP.I also had dreadful experiences with Acorn both on the letting and sale side.They have no ethic whatsoever and are primarily after a quick buck.

Thank you for the advice!

Hello, I need to drive to Surrey via Streatham, East Croydon and Purley tomorrow morning at 7.30. I am wondering if anyone has any experience of the traffic at that time of the day: is it really heavy?. I have driven the same route several times at the w.end but never on a week day. Thank you!

I was on a 343 this morning at 8.20 and it stopped at Heaton rd and Peckham Rye station...so did the 12 and 78 infront of it...the bus stops seem to be open again.

The same thing happened to me: I live in a 2 bed flat in a newish block; I usually pay around 125 a month for both gas and elect with Npower: then suddenly I got a revised bill for 350 a month!! Several calls later, many readings provided and silly questions like:" have you installed a hot tub? Underfloor heating or servers room?" (!!!) Npower finally aknowledged that they might have made a mistake... I have a feeling they try to pull a fast one every now and then...

LuceB sorry to hear about your experience...I take often the 343 late when I come back from a night out in Central... does the 343 have cctv? maybe it could be a way to identify the guy?

A cinema would be very welcome

Hello, calling on all the ED mums to have some information on the private maternity wing (the Guthrie Wing) at King's in Camberwell. A pregnant friend of mine is relocating from abroad and her insurance covers private maternity care and she asked me what the general opinion of the Guthrie Wing is, however I have never heard of it and I'm far away from the pregnancy stage. Anyone could help?

thx!

I'm on Peckham Rye park and I have 3 coverage only by a specific window...but maybe it has to do with my building...

Oh this sounds like a lovely idea, I moved to ED 2 years ago for the village feeling and I can't say I have that many friends in the area as I always end up meeting ppl in central! Count me in for the next drink you organize :-)

Interesting what all you ppl are saying as I have been monitoring the 3 bed properties for a few months now and according to Zoopla and propertysnake it looks like reductions have been in the order of 7% to 8% for houses that have been on the market for 3 months or so. Maybe it's a two tier market with good properties getting snapped quickly and average ones having to reduce prices to their true value...

hello there just wondering if any of you ladies go to the "Legs, Abs, Bums" class on Wednesdays? I haven't been for a few weeks but all the three times I tried to attend (it was July) the lesson was cancelled last minute...very annoying especially when I had to rush from work to be on time...does anyone know if it's actually still running? The online booking system shows the class as available but since it's quite a popular class it's fully subscribed week on week...now it looks suspiciously available...just wondering if the "regulars" know that it will probably be cancelled again.

I have tried to contact reception but after 30 min selecting options and not being able to speak to anyone I gave up...

thank you for any info!

any idea if the buses go down Rye Lane today? I forgot my brolly and I dread the walk from Peckham Rye station to Nigel road under heavy rain! thx!

any idea of when the massive crane will be removed and buses will go down their usual route?

because obviously all the bad ppl are from Peckham right?...natural selection...

Just wondering if traffic is still diverted? thx

what about Honor Oak Park station? anything happening down Forrest Hill road?

thank you TopTree I followed your advice and now I know the answer.

I noticed that Thames Water roadworks are starting again by Nigel Road and I have a bad feeling about it: does anyone know if the plan is to carry on all the way down and along Peckham Rye?

this monring I noticed that there is only one not so large hole that need working and filling at the bottom of Rye Lane and the rest of the street have been resurfaced; still the Tames water sign says end of works 18th of May...another month just for that last bit??
