I'm looking for a specialist in the removal of Japanese Knotweed, any recommendations? I'm selling a property and it's just been identified so need a company that can provide a transferable guarantee.

I have lots, in good condition but used. Can they be of use to anyone or shall I bin?

I'm desperately trying to avoid my yr 7/11yr old son spending all of half term plugged into his PS4 but all the half term clubs are geared towards primary school kids. Even if just an hour or 2 per day would be good. Anyone have any suggestions? (non-football or crafts related ideally)

My cleaner now has some additional availability so I'm helping her find a new client. Christiana has been working for me about 6 years and consistently done a great job. Never missed a day in all those years, totally trustworthy and does a thorough job. I knows she's definitely available on Weds mornings for 3 hours but may have further flexibility or additional hours if required. Please contact her directly on 07402011483.

I need someone to replace a broken flush and also re-attach a bath panel that's fallen down. Any recommendations gratefully received.

I'm looking for a local solicitor and came across Austen Jones but I've never seen or heard of them before despite living here for a number of years and also can't seem to find many reviews online. Does anyone have any feedback positive or negative? Alternatively can anyone recommend a good family lawyer?

If you could consider a different location my family and I recently visited France, we stayed in a gitte - farmhouse and converted outbuildings. There's 3 in total but a couple are quite large and would accommodate 2 families sharing to fit your numbers. Here's the link if you fancy it www.frenchfarmhouseholiday.co.uk. Great for kids, swimming pool, pool table, zip wire in the woods, bikes, forest walks etc.

I am looking to get the outside of my house re-painted, preferably sooner rather than later before the weather takes a turn for the worse. I'm looking for recommendations if possible, likewise please do PM me if there's any out there I should steer clear of. Thanks

Can anyone tell me the opening hours/days for the adventure playground in Peckham Rye? Sure I've gone past before at weekends and it's been closed or restricted play. Thinking of meeting friends next Saturday there but don't want to suggest it if I'm not sure it's open. Thanks.

Perfect - thanks!

My little one goes to the group lessons on a Saturday morning at Dulwich Leisure Centre / Fusion. They were very patient when my Son initially refused to even get into the pool and is now pretty competent and totally fearless. It's a bit busy and rather warm for parents but does the job.

Not sure this is entirely the right place to post this question but if anyone can suggest somewhere ideally in ED or Peckham that would be great. I have a recipe I fancy cooking from a Persian cookbook and I don't think Sainsbury's will come up trumps.

I've recently bought a new laptop and now can't see anything when I open the site other than 'forum sponsors' the entire page is blank. I have the same issue logging in from my work PC but always assumed this was due to their internal restrictions but it would appear not. I have tried adding the site to compatibility view sites but this still makes no difference, do you have any suggestions?

After much research I used the London Door Company, not particularly cheap but good service and quality result.

I'm looking to get my bathroom refitted and just came across these 2 companies. If anyone has an experience of using either of them I would grateful to hear your thoughts and feedback.

Bathroom is in need of an face lift. Can anyone recommend a trusted and reliable company that take pride in a good finish?

I'm so gutted that Gumboots have stopped running their holiday club (with the exception of the few weeks they do over the summer hols) as literally every single other option still doesn't cater for those parents that work full time, even the early/late starts are 8.30-5.30pm and I really do need that extra 30 mins either end of the day to travel into the city. Does anyone have any other suggestions at all? Failing that does anyone know of a childminder that could do 1 hour of childcare each morning in order to get my 7yo to one of the above options?

I currently let a 1 bedroom flat and my tenant has asked me to switch her over to a water meter as it will save her money in the long run. Does anyone have any feedback on these? is it easy to switch? do these meters take up much space/involve work to be fitted and are they actually worth it?

I've managed to destroy yet another brand new Samsung Galaxy S3 by dropping it in water. I've tried sticking it in rice etc and the Smart functions (apps/email) still work but I have no mobile phone reception so can't use it as an actual phone. I can see from web research that you can open it up and clean it with alcohol, could one of the phone shops help with this? Not something I fancy attempting myself.

I am trying to order a new washing machine for my tenant but apparently you can't get them to disconnect the old appliance. My plumber can't lift/remove the old one, just install the new one so I am going to have to get it disconnected before he can come again to re-connect. Just wondering if this is something that you could easily do yourself?

Can you tell me what times you're open please?

Can I ask how many shirts you would iron in 1 hour? I'm taking my Husband to the local dry cleaners at the moment for ?1 per shirt.

I found Jan at Silver Fern to be be excellent but steer clear of White Edge who promoted themselves on here quite a lot. They're OK but only if you keep on top of them, always show up late and don't finish things off very well.

Great idea, My Son isn't 7 until August unfortunately but I would definitely be interested and hope you're up and running by then.

How disappointing. I've always thought that the Vale/Cherry Tree has the potential to be a really great venue, but failed. I went back after when they re-opened after becoming the Cherry Tree and was under the impression it had new management and was actually impressed with what I saw, good staff, good food cooked by a decent chef. I was taken by my family for the ?17.99 mothers day special and was gutted to see the same grumpy interfering manager there as used to run the Vale and feel like I was totally ripped off with sub-standard food. To start I had battered prawns, which were actually pretty nice, even if the salad garnish had clearly been sat there for some time with dried up cucumber slices. The rib-eye steak that was supposed to be medium-rare was more than well done and turned out to be the most gristly bit of meat I've eaten in a long time and the champ was an incredibly salty (and I love salty potato but this was ridiculous) with the odd spring onion slice in. This was then topped off with cheesecake that was clearly a frozen job and tasted like that really cheap artificial whipped cream stuff, I've had better for ?1 from Iceland and this was priced at ?4.95 per slice! It was supposed to also come with cream but they must have run out (we were the 1st to be served incidentally). My kids were supposed to have chicken nuggets but they were rather bizarre battered bits of chicken. My hunch is that the chef got confused with the only other kids option and thought he was frying fish fingers? The chips were the highlight of everyones meal and the rubbish cheap block of ice-cream they got for desert also screamed of poor low-quality food (served with a slice of lime which was also quite random?) The waitress tried her best but was simply pulled in too many directions as they didn't have enough staff. I wouldn't mind so much if they didn't price and market themselves as something that could compete with the rest of ED, but the price I paid for really poor quality food is appalling. ED has so many alternatives it's no surprise they don't succeed. I know I won't be going back in there again to eat.
