Hi Hazel, the Yamaha only has 61 keys. Plus it has loads of bells and whistles that you mentioned you don't really need. It has all that bulky stuff at the top of the keys with the drum sounds and other effects. I'd go for something simpler with the full 88 keys. I have a Yamaha P35 which is great. Slimline and quite a decent touch, here's the link: http://www.twocirclesmusic.com/yamaha-p-35-portable-digital-piano

Here's a good no-frills digital piano that lots of my students have. It lasts a good many years of playing. http://www.twocirclesmusic.com/casio-cdp-120-digital-piano Use the code DULWICH13 for a 5% discount.

What is the quickest route from ED to barbican? Thanks!

I would recommend the East Dulwich Nanny Agency. They have a special offer on during March with reduced finder's fees so it should work out cheaper than the agency fee of 3 weeks. http://www.eastdulwichnannyagency.com/

Margherita at the Dulwich Chiropractic Clinic on Crystal Palace Road is fab and specialises in pregnancy/women's health as well as paediatrics. http://www.dulwichosteopath.co.uk/

I don't think they have a web site. My daughter is there, feel free to PM if you have any questions.

If you would consider Tae Kwon Do, then check out Daniel's classes at the Albrighton centre: http://www.walterstaekwondo.com/classes--prices.html

I am organising a recital for local young musicians at the Michael Croft Theatre at Alleyn's School on Sunday 27 January 2013. If you would like to perform on stage, do get in touch. The venue has a lovely grand piano and an accompanist is available on the day for singers and instrumentalists. Beginners encouraged as well as intermediate and advanced levels. The event is a family classical music concert - children of all ages welcome! More information about the event can be found here: http://se22pianoschool.wordpress.com/2012/10/07/performance-opportunity-for-young-musicians-in-south-london-at-alleyns-school-27-january-2013/

We have one family photo from the past year! Molly, your post reminded me that I must get in touch with Loz to do some more family shots as Christmas is coming up soon.

Monica from Healthmatters on Lordship Lane is a Nutritional Therapist and is really fantastic. Pop into the shop and have a chat with her, she's very helpful. http://www.dulwichhealthmatters.com/#/meet-the-team/4522703167

Another recommendation for Lorenzo, he has taken our family photos yearly for the past four years and has photographed many of my friends' families and also weddings. We didn't pay anywhere near ?500! http://www.lorenzophotography.co.uk/kids.php

Selena has catered several events that I have organised and her cakes are soft and scrummy. Sea-salted caramel and fudge is my favourite! Does cupcakes too. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Jelly-Hearts-and-Glitter-Cake/166513266719239

Hi Sanne, thanks for the info - will let you know how she gets on with it. The grommets do still fall out quite easily, apparently

The consultant said she is a big young for adenoid or tonsil removal as they usually consider that around age 5. We'll see how the grommets go, hopefully that will sort her out and no further action will be needed. I shall let you know how it goes. Yes - good reminder to stock up on snacks although she's having the op at Benenden Hospital in Kent and they have a good snack selection in the kitchen that she was happily feasting on at the consultation!

Hi Cedges, definitely no adenoid or tonsil removal but I will double check whether it's one ear or two - it should be both as she is deaf in both ears.

I don't know of anyone whose had it recently but I do remember a few kids at school had grommets. I never really knew what they were, I always thought it sounded a bit like 'maggots'!
