Hi My daughter is struggling settling into secondary school and is unable to settle within a consistent friendship group which is making her feel quite isolated and lonely. Can anyone recommend a child counsellor who can potentially provide practical and emotional guidance on how my child in terms of socialisation and emotional resilience. We are already seeing the school counsellor but feel more frequent support is required as this has been an ongoing issue since she joined her school. Many thanks In advance.

Would just like to add another recommendation for Berdec Decorators. Dave and his team have just decorated the outside of our semi, no easy task as it was in dire need of a make over with lots of cracks to fit. They?ve done an absolutely cracking job and we?re really nice to have around. Didn?t know they were here half the time and Paul our decorator was very committed to doing a thorough job, continuously refilling, sanding and painting without complaint. They?ve also had to work around our door installation and are even coming back in a few weeks, with no complaint, to touch up our frame after the door company finishes up. Also like to add they were the most cost effective after receiving a couple of ridiculous quotes. Wouldn?t hesitate in getting them back round for further quotes in the future. Thanks Dave and Paul.

Hi Does anyone know if rye books is open, think it is meant to be from 10-1, for click and collect, but popped by yesterday and seemed very much closer. I ordered a couple of books for Christmas. Thanks Vicky

Hi Can anyone recommend anyone to do up the outside of a house. Our house is rendered, need someone to fill cracks and touch up the paint work. Looking for recommendations rather than trades people please. Many thanks Vicky

Yes, I?m trying to buy local as much as possible, have had a brilliant service over the last week from ED and Postmark. Called ED Sunday about some champagne flutes that were out of stock online, Dan called me back on Monday having sorted some for me and I collected them this week. Picked up an order from Postmark at the same time which was super easy with their click and click, recyclable Christmas wrapping paper sorted.

Yes, it?s Edy and Bridge, thanks so much!

Hi There is a stall on north cross market that sell's clothes, including these cool looking sweatshirts with different patterns on the front (i.e. a lighting bolt, rainbow). I am trying to shop as locally as possible this Christmas and was hoping to pick one of these up for my daughters for Christmas, anyone by chance know whom i am on about and if they have an online presence? thanks! vicky

Just returned from a wonderful lunch @57 North Cross Road - amazing food, service and price! Highly recommended to one and all, I will be returning. Thank you x

Do you mean the toast rack in Camberwell? If so, there are some very obvious differences

Hi I am looking to have my lounge and hall floors re-done, looking to replace laminate with oak flooring, or something similar. Going back to the original floorboards isn't an option for us unfortunately. Can anyone recommend a company who can supply and fit something along these lines...not sure where to start with this one! Thanks very much Vicky

Sorry to hear this. We also live on Heber Road, our neighbour had their Volvo X60 stolen twice, again a keyless car. Our neighbour did manage to retrieve it on both occasions though, i believe via the GPS tracking system?? (sorry, don't know much more details than this)

Overrunning engineer works - no trains (platform 3)to Blackfriars etc until 9am. Herne Hill suggested alternative route

Hi Does anyone know how things are looking now, trying to decide if I should walk from Denmark hill station .. Thanks Vicky

We used Bromley Shutters on the back of a neighbour recommendation. Nearly two years in, very happy with them, i think they can have some quite good discounts too.

Thanks so much for your reply. Very useful. Funnily enough we are currently with EE and the past few months in particular have been painful as our connection is very slow, even though you check online and there are never any problems in the area.

Hi I am looking to switch broadband suppliers as we are having continuous problems with our current supplier (in terms of speed etc) - would be great to hear any recommendations? I often work from home so am looking for a reliable connection/ download speed (isn't everyone!) many thanks vicky

Hi Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced painter who can paint a garden wall, the alcove around the front door and the front door - basically all the bits accept the front of the house. Many thanks Vicky

I wish the media would stop referring to Boris' ?350m figure as 'controversial'. It's not controversial it's false.

Hi Due to a no show I am still looking for someone to take away some rubbish for a bedroom renovation - items include about 10-15 bags of plaster rubble, two old wardrobes (broken down), laminate floor (incl. sub floor), skirting board and architrave. Looking for either recommendations or a reasonable quote ( i can send pictures to help with the quote). Would like to get this collected tomorrow or saturday thanks vicky
