  1. Highly recommend! Thanks john - beautiful job on our Gipsy Hill flat!
  2. Posted this on an old thread but cant seem to see it. John has just plastered my entire flat in Gipsy Hill. Beautiful job and a joy to have around. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend. He's on 07905 044912. Happy to send pics if you need them!
  3. Just wanted to add my praise for John! He's just finished plastering my whole flat in Gipsy Hill. Beautiful job and a joy to have around. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend!
  4. Could anyone recommend an agent to take over the management of a freehold for a 5 flat house?. We've been doing it ourselves for years but are thinking it might be less tricky and fairer if a non resident took it over - to avoid in house disputes and the work falling unfairly to one or two people. I might be being over hopeful and it'd be much worse but any advice or recommendations v welcome!
  5. No idea if this is the right section but does anyone know of a local charity that might want a wedding dress? I have a beautiful designer dress that I can't bear to gather dust. Much prefer it went to a good home. Any suggestions welcome
  6. I posted the original message and my mum did move there - and has been as happy as larry for 5 years. It's a lovely place to live - you can hear the stadium but its not disturbing - if anything it feels really exciting when there's a match on. I think it has the best ratio of niceness/affordability in Dulwich. Go for it!
  7. for 2 small parapet walls on a balcony. Needs to partly go over lead. any recommendations gratefully received!
  8. Has anyone had a balcony/roof terrace built and can recommend builders? We have permission to reduce the size of an existing dormer extension to make room for a little roof terrace on the same footprint. Struggling to find builders who have experience of this sort of thing. Any tips gratefully received!
  9. Hi there did you find a builder for your roof terrace? We're on the hunt for the same thing.
  10. Hi all. Trying to find a good way of celebrating a birthday and wondered if anyone knew of anyone offering their services as a virtual pub quiz host? we could do it ourselves but it would be great if one of us didn't have to miss out on playing!
  11. Please remember masks are useful at stopping you spreading the virus if you're coughing but not at stopping you catching it. They can often be counterproductive.
  12. deleted because you replied to my email - thanks so much
  13. At the risk of being very unpopular I'm afraid I did buy my tree from tree amigos. I can only carry the tree home from there or from the EDT and I visited both. I really wanted to buy from EDT but it was just a much nicer experience with the new guys. Super friendly and knowledgable with more tree options and it felt more relaxed and christmassy wandering around the green than trying to negotiate the roundabout. They also have really clear pricing whereas the EDT seem to just make up the prices depending who they're speaking to ( myself and my husband were given different prices for the same tree ) Sorry that others disapprove but I also live on the green and just wanted to give a balance - we don't all hate them!
  14. Thanks IlonaM. I called conde nast and they've said they wont cancel the payment till she contacts them herself - even though they'll stop sending the mags! Ridiculous
  15. I keep getting expensive magazines to delivered to my flat under this name. As nice as it is I fear someone is paying for them! I've informed the senders but dont trust them to cancel the order so trying to track down Thisbe to tell her to stop her standing order! Anyone know her?
  16. Dulwich mot centre off tyrell rd .. wouldn't go anywhere else
  17. A similar thing at the top of Ashbourne grove. Its infuriating. I'm filling in the council fly tipping form on a weekly basis. But there are no bins so I'm not sure getting rid of them will help on Hindmans. Once people see rubbish being dumped there it just becomes the place to ditch stuff.
  18. Does anyone know a good osteo/physio that will do a home visit? My mum has a totally seized up neck and shoulder but she also has a bust rib so travelling to a clinic really difficult. Would really appreciate it if anyone can help.
  19. Hi Des just wondering how your plans are going for this? ( and also pushing it up the thread list )
  20. Anyone know? I have a couple of old ( but perfectly usable ) king size quilts.. just not sure what to do with them?
  21. I understand the rules about having over 50% retail .. but it seems to the council would rather something remained empty for a decade than have the 'wrong' class of establishment in it. I don't understand how threshers and the like can be an empty eyesore for years with no issues .. but a restaurant can't open where a shop was. If we really want to protect lordship lane the council need to look at rent control and empty units as well as usage classes. ( i realise the rent control bit is a pipe dream )
  22. Best of luck overcaffeinated. Having just opened a business a year ago I feel your pain and stress! For what its worth I would be really wary about rushing into business with a new partner so as not to lose these premises. If they are absolutely perfect think about getting a loan to open alone and hiring staff.. you can hook up with loads of local small business owners for support but you'll still have control. If the premises aren't perfect let them go and wait till you find the right partner. We very nearly opened in 5 other premises before we actually found the right place .. and are grateful everyday that we waited. ( even though it was painful year and a half!. If you want to chat pm me x
  23. This is so wonderful, I hope its a huge success. Have donated and shared.
