I'm resurrecting this thread as the lovely company I work for (based near Kings Cross) now has a need for someone to help us on a part-time basis (30 hours per week). It's general office support for a small company (just over 30 employees) and we could accommodate someone who wants to spread the 30 hours flexibly to accommodate the school day. PM me if you are interested and I can send you more details.

So pleased it worked out for you. Congratulations on your new job!

I too work for a small company and whilst I can't help directly, would recommend using agencies like Capability Jane who specialise in filling part-time roles. Apologies if you've already tried this route, but I found them a useful source when I was looking to recruit someone in to a part-time position. Good luck with your search.

Another recommendation for Steve who I've used numerous times over recent years and again today to repair my dishwasher. He is extremely knowledgeable, reliable and helpful and is also a thoroughly nice guy. I have no hesitation in recommending him. His number is 07921777428.

The lady in the dry cleaners on Upland Road is excellent - she's repaired a number of items for me and I've always been pleased with the results.

On recommendation from a friend, I used these ladies to sell mine. They are based in Bexley and you need to take the clothes to them. They offer you an upfront price for your clothes but thereafter take responsibility for selling them, either through their FB page or at various sales they hold. From memory, they take a reasonable percentage but as I didn't have the time to sell mine (or the inclination to do all the labelling etc!), I was more than happy for them to sell them on my behalf. http://www.childrensnearlynew.co.uk/about-2/

Another recommendation for Niko who has helped us out this week with a leaking kitchen tap and heating issues. He is a thorough and reliable guy and charged a very reasonable price. His contact number is: 07818607583.

Thank you muffins78. Someone is on their way over, so all is in hand. To the previous poster, if I had the materials to do it myself, then clearly I would be doing it now, rather than spending time on a community forum making a genuine request for help....

Can anyone recommend a company who can board up a window following a burglary? Our neighbour has been burgled, so helping them out and would like to find someone who's not going to rip them off. Thanks

I have no experience of Rosemead but have 2 children at Oakfield and we couldn't be happier. Both children settled in quickly and the teaching staff are wonderful. It's a very caring, friendly and warm environment. Very happy to answer specific questions if anyone wants to PM me.

Both my children (age 4 and 2) recently had their eyes tested at Paine and Hunter on Lordship Lane. We got an appointment quickly and the Optometrist was great with them - very patient and good at explaining what he was doing at every step. My kids thought it was great fun, which was not the reaction I was expecting from them!

I would definitely recommend Kelly. I found her details here on the forum and she gave me a spray tan a few weeks ago before we went off on a beach holiday. The results were fantastic and it's really convenient that she comes to the house. She is also careful to apply a colour that looks natural. The whole process is really quick and easy and I will definitely be using Kelly again in the future.

Thank you. I did go out and walk the route earlier this evening and didn't see it, but have just sent my husband on another search, just in case! Thank you for your post. Hope you found the missing shoe!

Earlier today somewhere between Goose Green and the police station, my son dropped his much loved comforter from the buggy. It's one of the 'jellycat' comforters - a light blue square of soft material with toy rabbit attached. If anyone happened to pick it up, can you PM me? We tried to fob him off this evening with a replacement but he was distraught at bedtime so we are keen to get the missing one back. Thanks.

I think the same guy was operating in Landcroft Rd this afternoon. He told me he cleaned my neighbours windows but needed to get round the back of the house and would be back on Friday to do so. He was asking a lot of questions about when they would be home which roused my suspicions, so I checked with my neighbours tonight and it transpires they don't have a window cleaner. Definitely some dodgy goings on, I am just cross with myself that I didn't pay better attention to his appearance as I was busy when he called and am not sure I could give a description. He was going under the name of Dean.

Hi Fuschia - have sent you a PM with some advice based on my own experience. You will get good care at the breast clinic at Kings and they will ensure you are on medication strong enough to fight the infection. Not sure if my experience was typical but on the postive side, I was able to continue to feed my son and wasn't admitted. However, during the early stages I was at the clinic twice a week to have the abscess drained. Good luck. I really hope you get better soon - it is a really miserable and painful thing to go through. Kx
