Good luck to all parents and children waiting on their secondary school allocation - fingers crossed for a happy outcome! We went through this last year, and what was really good was that within a couple of days, all the sschools we had applied for emailed us to let us know where we were on the waiting list / distances they offered to / what to do if we wanted to stay on the waiting list - so we had a clear idea of what to do. As you ahve probably heard, there is much movement and changes during the next month or so

Sue, I have taken the code out, I had thought it was a way of helping a new business. But if the overwhelming feeling is that I should not share the code then I take that on board.

Angelina, I received an email from Freddie's (I placed an order) with the code and in the email they state "please share this with gay abandon" - see below. I imagine it can be used once. I have copied the bits from the email from them for transparency - I had hoped to broaden their business base not sink them

I would be very happy to buy a gift. If you message me your phone number I can get your address and drop off next week.

Alice it is not about making money personally, but the opportunity to try out a new start up business that delivers fresh flowers to your home. Yiu get your first delivery free. You can choose how often you wish to receive them by going on your account and ticking what dates you want or don't want them. They are offering new customers the opportunity to share a code that gets them their first delivery free. You will also, when you place an order be given a code to pass on. I imagine it is a way to build up a client base and their business.

I was at Pexmas Market at the weekend and met up with this fresh flower start up. Seem like really interesting guys.I am particularly interested in trying them as they use no plastic. When i spoke to them, and you order flowers, you can adjust your booking to weekly or when you would like to recieve it .... so just when needed ... their flowers apparently last for 2 weeks and come with tips on how to arrange etc. The deliver to nunhead on a Monday

Lavender you might need to try different strategies to make it stick. there are ways in doing this, if you are interested I can give you further information. (Part of my work is to support university students with Lesrning differences, and this is an aspect that we look at). There can be different reasons from processing to short term memory difficulties.

We have found the agritourism site really useful - https://www.booking.com/farm-holidays/index.en.html?aid=393655&label=msn-Uvb9LVcrL_Re5VXFhGas1A-80401801639049:tikwd-80401902919700:loc-188:neo:mte:dec:qsagritourism&utm_campaign=English%20EN%20EMEA&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=bing&utm_term=Uvb9LVcrL_Re5VXFhGas1A&msclkid=7c9e90a5271f1330c151cb5819c74213 and through this site (and other googling) booked and planned two trips to Italy this way. We book places with swimming pools, and you eat communally (breakfast and then cooked for at night, usually with fresh produce from the farm)(this is a good way for chidlren to be able to meet up and play with others as well as meeting people from all over and having some realy good adult chats as well). The agritourism places are generally very big farms / old houses restored, so they are a bit out of the main city place, so we hire a car and during the day drive somewehre, but back late afternoon to relax at pool, read books, and enjoy some wine & good food under the stars! You can usually choose costs according to accomodation etc. we do a mixture throughout e.g place still in my dreams http://www.lamadiluna.com/ or this place run by the fabulous domenica ... https://www.agriturismo.it/en/farmhouse/apulia/bari/Serragambetta-Agriturismobiologico-0310111/index.html We have also done a holiday in Portugal at this spot - http://www.verdemar.net/en/

Interesting, I am not sure there is a term for this, is the debate not around the teaching? Are you looking for a term to describe whether learning has or has not taken place?

Zac - thank you for your informaiton - I had already contacted someone else that was recommended and set up a taster session so we will see how that goes. Will contact you if needed thought.

I have been to Pro Beauty Clinic regarding a mole I wanted removed. (I was happy to pay for this) In my case they needed a letter from your GP saying that they can remove it. When I went to my GP, she referred me back to Dermatology at Kings (as she needed to be 100% sure it was benign). However, I would definately go to the Clinic on Hindmans road, the person who deos the mole removal is lovely.

Thank you mumra - I have sent Stefan an email, that looks great, and local.

Thank you for that Mischa - looks very interesting, although would love to find somewhere/someone a bit closer!

Does anyone know of a local person who does crumming lessons for beginners / pre teen! My daughter is keen to try this. (hope our neighbours arent reading this!)

Good luck - i remember this process last year well! As you mention Harris Girls i will leave out boys only schools. There is also Prendergast (Brockely) and they have some other schools under this umbrella - but the Brockley one is oversubscribed so it is strictly on distance Deptford Green (not on your list) Haberdashers (Telegrpah hill / Deptford) - also a small catchment area though If your child is musical you can sit a test at Prendergast as well as Kingsdale (and Kingsdale also offers sports shcolarships). There are places for musical scholarships at Prendergast which are then not based on distance. Prendergast has a written test that your child can sit which you can aquaint yourself with (not like me who looked at this the night before!) if they get sufficient marks for that then they can do an audition.

You can have a look at BDA website ( British dyslexia association) - they will help you with tutors and often have local evenings for parents to discuss support strategies. The Dyslexia Guild is also a good website. Both these offer resources, and approved tutors if needed.

I have used Tony before for carpets and upholstery. I would recommend him http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?30,651976,1936108#msg-1936108

I used reusable nappies for my daughter. Other than at night times, odd times when travelling, this was what we used. Once you get used to it, it's really easy. It's seemed hard at the beginning but like anything you will get the hang of it. I went to one of this nappy mornings where someone talked me through it, and I bought awhole lot. I think there is even still money available from your council to get you started. There is also a host of second hand nappies available. I eventually gave a whole stash of these away to someone else, so apart from saving the environment and money they can be passed down or sold. I also used washable wipes and hardly ever used other wipes - just a bowl of water and job done! I am sure there are biodegradable nappies, but really happy we went down the reusable route. Here's a link to Southwark and funding for nappies https://forms.southwark.gov.uk/ShowForm.asp?fm_fid=1024

I've just booked online and you have to book for the day you want to go on. (before midnight before the day you go). If you buy for a day and don't use them, then you get half the rides rather than the full amount of the deal.

You oculd see if Tennis 4 kids are doing a summer workhsop - I am sure my daughter did one during one of the holidays. http://tennis-4-kids.com/

strawberry Drama have a drama class on Saturday morning. I can pass on Zoe's contact details if you would like.

I was wondering if any forum members could help me. I am putting together a slide show / photos of a friend who passed away recently. I would like to show these photos of her at her memorial (perhaps as a slideshow) and then be able to perhaps print it for her children. Many people could contribute electronically photos, from different phases of her life. So I am looking for a website that allows different people to upload photos, perhaps even write a few words to accompany the photo, I could pay for this service. If anyone has Build up a photo book / photos for a slideshow with a website (that is easy to use)I would really love any information. Thanks in advance

Janek is pretty good at this - he also spins vinyl for kids! http://www.luckydipdisco.com/main%20menu.html

I have started getting veg boxes with Abel and Coke every fortnight - mainly as a way to stem the tide or plastic packaging. I have four codes that can be given to 4 people to get a free veg or veg and fruit box. I think the value is around ?12/?14. You have to be a new customer. If you use the code I give you I will also get a free foodie surprise! If you would like a code let me know and I will email it to you. (Photograph it and send it on).
