Kings College Hospital 'walk in' vaccination centre
B&G replied to ctovey's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Husband went to walk in at Kings on Monday. In and out in 20 minutes. No issues. -
Takes forever to get one too. We applied to have one put into the lamp post outside our house 12 months ago and we haven't heard anything. Anyone know how long the wait list is?

Piplings, perchance?!

Hi all! I'm due with my second baby in September 2021. I joined the Summer Babies group back in 2018 with my first, and it was a great support group to have during pregnancy and the first year. Many of us are still in touch today! If anyone is due in the Autumn (September, October or November) and would like to join the Whatsapp group, please message on here / DM me your number and I'll set up a group for all of us. Take care, Bridie x

For anyone who is interested - Renata responding to say that since Christmas they haven't bothered to pick up any missed collections due to staff numbers. Why the opportunity to report a missed collection exists is beyond me. It serves no purpose.

men selling teak garden furniture door to door
B&G replied to suzza22's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Quite a good time for them to get back in business, I'd say. You can't buy garden furniture for love nor money online at the moment! -
Thames Water - Forest Hill Road (Update)
B&G replied to jazzer's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Also on FHR and weren't informed. Will it be closed to all traffic or just buses, do you know? -
Cake Stall Northcross Road Market
B&G replied to KateElizabeth112's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Those cakes are amazing and that woman is lovely! Enjoy your cake :) -
Thanks, I'll email Renata. Seems like it must be someone at Southwark giving answers without actually knowing what the answer should be. I cannot believe there would be a policy that exists for no reason whatsoever. Or maybe I can...

10 points to me for the most boring thread of all time. Last week our recycling bins weren't collected. The entire street, as far as I know. I've reported a missed collection and just had a response saying that the next date for collection is the 14th (two weeks after the last one), and I should wait till then. Is this correct? If the answer is "wait till the next one" what is the point of reporting a missed collection? In the meantime I have three binbags full of recycling in my kitchen, with another 6 days to go for our - seemingly monthly - collection.

Rude, bullying children in Goose Green Playground
B&G replied to HensloweMum's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
If they are stealing kids' toys and physically restraining other children against their will then why wouldn't you call the police? Abusive behaviour doesn't start at 18. -
Does anyone know where to get a pet mouse?
B&G replied to portioncontrol's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
I?ve got one living under my dishwasher. He?s all yours if you can catch him. -
It's a fabulous nursery. The staff are fantastic and the gardens and setting are glorious. It's worth putting yourself on the list, but you should definitely get on other lists too, as the waiting list is exceptionally long...

Bugaboo Bee. A brilliant buggy! Be cautious of anything too big. Three of my NCT gang bought the Chameleon for their first born and all ended up selling it and buying the YoYo or Bee!

Purple, leather ladies glove found in my garden this morning. If it's yours shout!

Self isolation ideas for children?s entertainment
B&G replied to yeknomyeknom's topic in The Family Room Discussion
Thank you! Brilliant thread. -
Smile @SE22 on North Cross Road. Great team. Honest pricing. NHS clients welcome. The only downside is you have to watch an endless reel of VT telling you you should get braces and teeth whitening whilst waiting to go in.

We went for a viewing and I got a horrible vibe. The introductory email says - and I quote - "arrive too early and we will leave you outside waiting, yes, even if it is raining". I asked a question about child to adult ratios on the tour, mainly to make polite conversation because it was so awkward and was told "we aren't going to answer that now, there is an opportunity for questions at the end". Then, in the garden, I was quite puzzled to see all the babies in the garden penned in by milk crates, whilst the bigger kids ran around. You'd think for ?1800 a month they could afford to fence off a separate section if it's required. They are really strict on things like breakfast time (arrive "late" and your kid doesn't get any food), and they always leave the main gate open despite all the buggies being stored in the front garden. A friend had her Bugaboo Chameleon stolen and the nursery initially refused to even tell the other parents, let alone assist her. I put a post out like this when we were looking and I received countless messages from nursery parents who have had problems. Hopefully some will get in contact with you also.

Mini Golf in Peckham Rye Park ... are they kidding?
B&G replied to Lee Scoresby's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Where is the link to the plans? Or is this just a rumour? I'm phenomenal at crazy golf. I used to love having an ice lolly and playing lawn bowls and was gutted they didn't bother to bring it back. Give it a year or two and it would be so 'peckham' to play bowls and have a frozen margarita. Surprised they didn't stick with it. It only needed a hashtag. -
Hmm, I'm wondering whether we might have to tackle the project ourselves as the quotes are just madness. I thought I could get the whole thing done for ?5k, including the cost of the suite, but if the quotes for labour alone are this expensive it's just not possible. Thank you Gaynor - I will contact Ivan and ask him to come over and take a look. Many thanks

Been shocked at quotes coming in at ?4.5k and ?5.5k for labour only, to refit bathroom and tile. Nothing is being moved and the loo isn't even being replaced. Shower, bath and sink all being replaced in identical spot. Room is approx. 3m x 3m (so the total floor tiling is 4msq) - can anyone share recent quotes with me? Am I just out of touch?!

Dunstans Road - new houses - unoccupied
B&G replied to muffins78's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
I walk past those most days and I'm unable to fathom who in their right mind chooses doors like those. Hideous doesn't come close. And clearly they'll all need steps up to the front door, too, which they needn't have required. Cheap and ugly.
