Has anyone got a recommendation for a fun football or rugby 'class' for my little man (4 years old) please? Actually he is still 3 - he'll be 4 in June We are in Herne Hill but don't mind jumping in the car if he enjoys it. Probably weekends better as he is at school most days. Thanks for any help Lindsay

If anyone is looking for a roofer / someone to fix guttering. Nick (Abbey Roofing) is excellent, reasonable, totally reliable and really nice. Everyone else wanted to put up scaffolding and charge a fortune - he didn't. He put up a ladder and got on with it. He has done a large job and a small job for us - both really thorough. I wish I had a Nick equivalent for my plumbing and odd jobs! Nick's number is 07966285679. Lindsay

Any budding computer savvy students out there who fancy earning some pre-Christmas extra money? Our computer is so slow now due to the amount of photos on there, they need to be filed into a easy to navigate order and hopefully free up some memory space. Thanks. Pm me if keen. Lindsay

We have to collect a couple of sofas, a bed and some extra bits and bobs from west London and get them to SE24. Can anyone recommend a reasonable man and van please?

Rachael is amazing and really really reasonable. She actually lives in Derbyshire and you send her the material, give her the window measurements and she sends it back by post. Please mention Lindsay recommended her! Her number is 01283 539378. I really do recommend her.

I just wanted to to recommend Andy. He has done a great job for us and is reasonable too. He laid some flooring re sealed and regrouted our bathroom. His number is 07564 194363.

Can anyone recommend someone who can do a 'landlords' gas safety check please for reasonable sum at flat in north dulwich. Thanks. Lindsay

Does anyone have Dave Nichols (the oven repairer)'s contact details please. Thanks.

Can anyone recommend a home based first aid course please i.e. someone coming to your home to teach you? I would like one that covers off what to do in the event of a child choking, or burns etc? If not, then can anyone recommend a DVD? Thanks Lindsay

Does anyone know of any activities / classes happening between 22 Dec and 2 Jan for an 18 month old ideally in the Herne Hill area? Thanks Lindsay

Our lovely, creative nanny who is Slovakian and speaks very good English, takes care of our wonderful son Jack. I work full time so our nanny works 5 days a week. Jack is 17 months old. We live in Herne Hill. Our nanny takes Jack to activities and also has a number of play-dates, one of which is with a 2 year old girl and they play beautifully together and have real fun. Unfortunately my nanny's friend is moving away so that their play-dates sadly have to come to an end. So we are looking for a nanny/mummy and toddler with whom they can share a regular play-date. I must admit I would prefer to have a chat with you / your nanny before we press ahead with plans - but please PM me if you are keen to get involved in a play-date with Jack and our nanny. Lindsay

We have just moved to the area (SE24) and I've 8 weeks to go before the birth of our first baby. I have heard so many stories about the need to register for schools even at this stage and have heard wonderful things about the Catholic school - St Anthony's. Can anyone enlighten me about this / other schools and what we need to do to put ourselves in the best position going forward? Being in North Dulwich / Herne Hill - are we in the right area? We will probably move in about a year but would want to make sure we make a sensible choice re location. I will be heading back to work in January 2011 and so will be in touch again nearer the time looking for a nanny share too! Longshot - but if anyone could recommend a maternity (night) nurse too that would be really helpful although happy to go via an agency on this one.
