Hello. We have a small pair of shutters that function as the doors/ the front of our coat cupboard downstairs. They are cream and we would prefer them white (we didn't buy them/ they came with the house). Can any tradesperson on here respray them white please? We live in Forest Hill. Dm me please. Let me know. Thanks KIrsten.

Anyone fancy joining a friendly bunch of ladies who play netball on a Friday morning at 9.30am for an hour in Dulwich?? We play on the courts on Rosendale road. You definitely will improve your fitness, as we have a good run around. I would suggest you would have needed to have played netball at school, but it's not ultra-competitive at all, just really good fun and a relaxed session.(Plus it's good value- only ?4 pay as you go). We are currently a bit short of players,so I'm trying to get the word out. If you are interested, can you please email: [email protected].

Hi there. We have a new Italian au pair who just started yesterday from Italy who is keen to meet au pairs in the area too. Could we get them to meet?

If anyone is after a great painter & decorator, I really wanted to recommend Craig who just painted our loft conversion and hallways. He is so nice, charges a very reasonable price and v, efficient. Really easy to deal with too. (He didn't ask me to write this!!). His number is 07722880218.

Just wanted to say as someone who has attended with my 2 boys for a couple of years, how enjoyable and uplifting it is. And how much the kids get out of it too. Can't recommend Hummy Mummies enough x

Hi there. Typically participants lose between 7-14 Ibs and considerable inch loss, particularly off the waist area. But more importantly, they feel healthier, more energised and embrace a new way of eating that always amazes me, as they really enjoy it and don't want to go back to old ways. (Although we try to promote some balance, so they don't feel really restricted). In our last week (of the 6 week course) I discuss how to maintain the weight-loss. And many have lost many stone since. We also run 2 week refresher courses for previous participants and have a facebook community page for participants, where we keep them motivated with tips and advice. Lastly, Vicky my personal trainer colleague not only has regular exercise classes to keep people on track, but whilst you are doing the 6 week course, you get to participate for free on a weekly class (as well as the exercise you do during the actual course). Hope that answers your questions! Let me know if you require further info.

Now only one place left! From wed 4th June-wed 9th July at 11.15am-12.15 in Forest Hill.

Just a few remaining places left for the next Weightshift Club. It's a 6 week nutrition & exercise course devised & run by myself- nutritionist & a personal trainer- FITNESS FOR MUMMIES. Suitable for any ladies wanting to get fit, lose weight, feel stronger and healthier & become more educated about eating to create health. From wed 4th June-wed 9th July at 11.15am-12.15 in Forest Hill. PM me for more details or check out before & after photos and other details on www.weightshiftclub.com.

Hi there, you should always wait for your 6 week postnatal check and 8 weeks after caesarean to resume exercise. But 6 months after would be fine. You would just tell Vicky if you any health issues, as she is used to dealing with post-natal ladies and takes into account people's physical condition in all her exercise classes. If you are still breast-feeding, you would need to let us know at the start though so we can accommodate the dietary plan to your specific needs. Hope that answers your question, let me know if you have any further questions.

Hi there, yes! I have put together a special dietary protocol based on latest science on weight loss and it works without any going hungry or feeling overly deprived!! Hence 6 former courses with lots of happy participants who have lost weight and kept it off. Yes I supply food plans, menus, recipe ideas all sorts, and lots of healthy snack options :)

Hi. No it's just a deposit at this stage. Full payment not needed till later this month. I'll pm you.

Hello. Glad your friend enjoyed the course- thanks for your message. Typically the other ladies have lost between 6-14 pounds over the 6 weeks (although everyone is different.) But more importantly they have felt healthier and also kept the weight off and continued to lose more on the maintenance plan from week 6. It's not a diet where you risk lowering your metabolism and putting it all back on afterwards. I'm sure you could achieve the results you are after. Yes in some of the classes, the person trainer puts you all through an exercise routine for half of the hour, and there are exercises to do at home, when you can fit them in- short, effective ones. Let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks

Thanks Julie. It has been great to have you on the course - your impressive weight-loss and the way you have kept it going by following our advice has been brilliant. I'll look forward to hearing from you soon and seeing you next month on our next course. We will then help you shift the final few pounds.

Hi Winter Babies club I'm just posting here to let you know our next (and very baby-friendly:)) WeightShift Club will be running in St Saviours Church in Forest Hill on Wednesdays daytimes. It's run and devised by myself- a nutritionist & mum of 2- I was in the autumn babies club 2013, and Vicky- a personal trainer who runs Fitness For Mummies, so it's both nutrition and exercise-based. You can bring your little ones, they'll be toys and playmats there. It's a 6 week course-from wed 4th june til wed 9th July, 11.15-12.15pm. This will be our 7th one. And it's always a small relaxed, friendly group. In each week?s hourly session you will receive tailored dietary advice, we will follow an exercise routine and receive nutritional advice and food plans to take home, plus lots more. Vicky specialises in postnatal fitness, so will accommodate all your needs, but you need to wait until after your 6 week postnatal check (10-12 weeks after a caesarean). See www.weightshiftclub.com for details and past before & after photos. Or email [email protected] if you have any queries! Kirsten :)

Could be wrong but think the picnic benches being referred to are the ones higher up (nearer the playground end) after the nice gardens.. But shout if I'm wrong! Kirsten

Good luck Nina! Ladies -you should def check out the sale, the clothes are lush. If it's a picnic on the park (not the pub), I may bring my son (and my husband) but they'll go off and do their own thing! As my 2 yr old loves Peckham rye park. see you then Kirsten x

Yes shall we say sunday 21st then for the next one as a few of us so far seem to be able to make that one. How does that sound?

Hi Fimu! I also sent you a private message on here as I lost your number from our meet up (as my phone is bust). x

Hi, I am off on fridays and have a 2 (nearly 3 yr old) but unfort I can't do friday 28th. Nor can I do sunday 7th. But if that works for everyone else go for it. But if not, can also do sunday 14th or 21st and most other fridays. x

Yes it was really nice, thanks Cindy. Next time we will have to move around the table or something! Sounds a bit naff I know but there was a great turn out of ladies! When shall we do another one? Another thursday night next month maybe? Kirsten x
