Haven?t posted on here for a very long time but wanted to come on to recommend Phil from PJ Pine & Son. He sanded various rooms in our house and did such a great job. He also recently collected, striped and rehung an internal door for a very reasonable price, again a lovely job. Very professional, reasonably priced and a lovely man! Phil can be contacted on ‭07956 466841‬

Phil from PJ Pine and Sons Ltd recently did two bits of sanding for us. He did excellent work and the two rooms looks great. Reasonably priced, very reliable, friendly, and he left everything really tidy. He can be found on http://www.pjpine.co.uk or contacted on 07956 466841

I drove over Vauxhall bridge road today approx 10am and turned left on to Grovesnor Road, and along and on to Hammersmith and M4. Stupid question I'm sure but do I need to pay the congestion charge? Map (attached) is a bit ambiguous. I work round there but don't normally drive there. Thanks

Sew Over It in Clapham do courses, as do Village Haberdashery in West Hampstead (train goes direct to and from Nunhead). Also check out sewing courses on Southward website, I know they used to put some on.

Thanks foxtrot, I'll enquire

Does anyone know of a good piano removal firm? I need to transfer one from Muswell Hill to Nunhead. Thanks

Thank you Siduhe

Online booking (and cancelling) would surely speed things up. I think the reception staff have improved in the last few years and can be really helpful. I expect (not with great pleasure) to have to wait 3-4 weeks for an appt but have always managed to get a same day appt for more urgent matters, usually to do with my kids, if not at FHR itself then at the Lister in Peckham.

There's a Q&A on this for parents/carers on 12 Oct at Sunshine House, 6-7pm

Not sure what min age is but try James who runs the swimming courses at STAC in Nunhead. His number is 07921083977.

Thanks Lady R. Have done that now, good idea. Have also rung Magda at the kiosk there. And posted in various local facebook parenting groups. Fingers crossed I can get the bag back to its owner.

Does this bag belong to your child, or do you recognise it? It's a yellow and white striped drawstring bag with a pineapple on it. Pic attached. We spent the day today at Ruskin Park paddling pool and playground with a group of friends. My friend and I and our kids were the last to leave and we took this bag as it was on the bench we'd been sitting on, thinking it belonged to one of our party. However, it turns out it doesn't! I feel so awful, it contains what's probably a much-loved toy, and other items (I only looked inside to see if there was a name). Please let me know if it's yours, and I'll return it straight away. If no owner found via the forum I'll take it back to the playground and hand it to the cafe by the end of the week. Huge apologies

Ooh lovely idea SB! x
