Hi,

I wondered if anyone knew of, or was interested in a free running club which isn't the parkrun. I am looking for people to run with during the evenings around Peckham Rye.

I'm a fairly newish runner so only manage 30-40mins and I'd rather do something informal than pay to join a running club. If anyone knows of anything already, or would be interested in running let me know.

Thanks, Laura

I can also recommend Bodyshot

http://www.bodyshot-pt.co.uk/

I've been training with them for nearly 7 months, and love it!

Absolutely I don't see why not if we can get this off the ground, I just wanted to gauge age ranges and interest.

@Ladysaw - thank you, will PM you.

Hi everyone,

Since the decision was made a while back that a dating section on the forum wasn't going to happen, I wanted to gauge interest on the idea of setting up some local dating events in Dulwich/Peckham area for people in their late 20s - 40 (just a ball park age range, comments to this welcome).

One idea would be to take over an area in a local pub and let the singles join and mingle, hey you could even bring a non-single wingman it's that relaxed. These type of events are held in the west end and its all very easy going and the bar gets more foot traffic, and people get to meet when they might not otherwise.

This is just an idea, and would love to hear from those who think it is something that could fly, or if you have any other ideas to consider. Also if you are someone who has experience in arranging events, or if you think this is something you'd like to help with to try and get it off the ground feel free to PM me as I'd love to meet to chat about it's feasibility.

Thoughts welcome.

I can also recommend Progas, I had them out to do a boiler service and the engineer Dean was very pleasant and it was all done very quickly. Their response to emails is also very prompt which is great, I will definitely use them again.

Thanks

I used to live in DKH, as a tenant in a privately owned flat with the landlady. She was stuck with the flat and was unable to sell due to nightmare noisy and slightly unhinged (can't think of a better way to put it) council tenants, and as the council have a duty of care for their tenants it's a losing battle. She was also told by a few estate agents that as so many flats are still council owned to see your investment reap the rewards you would need to be there over 20+ years until the whole estate was regenerated and became privately owned.

Overall i did feel safe in the estate, most people just going about their daily business, but it was noisy with kids in the evenings/ summer playing footie in the car park, there were some unsavoury characters dealing at night very obviously from certain flats, the noise between flats - up/down and either side is really loud, and like many have mentioned the service charges are ridiculous if you own the flat.

I left and bought a flat, all be it one where the council is a freeholder and I can honestly say I will never ever buy a flat again where Southwark is the freeholder. I am in the midst of footing a large bill for unnecessary major works, which i'm told even by the contractors themselves won't be done to a good job, yet i'm paying for it all with no choice! This is a frequent occurrence and every year my service charge exceeds the estimate in its hundreds. Southwark are an absolute nightmare to deal with, its always a battle and you invariably lose.

If I were buying again I would steer well clear of council owned properties...just my two cents.

Hi,

I have used Amsys before they are an Apple partner, but located in soho if that is any help.

Thanks

Hi,

I can recommend 'The Cattery' although they are a bit further out but they look after them well, and they have heated pads for sleeping too. The E.D catteries tend to get quite full quite quickly.

Hi,

I've had some nice blinds made to measure from http://www.web-blinds.com/, the quality is good.

Hi,

I'm looking for someone to do some fencing for me, including staining the fence panels, building a small shed and general garden clearance and tidying. It's only a small garden 25ft x 25ft.

PM me and I can give further details of the job, or if anyone has some recommendations that would be great.

Thanks

Hi,

I used a little lunch box like this:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Spotty-Red-Insulated-Lunch-Bag/dp/B001FDC8VA/ref=sr_1_45?ie=UTF8&qid=1405009004&sr=8-45&keywords=cool+bag

Stuffed with ice packs, it seemed to work and the humira pens fitted in and kept cool. Then once on board the flight attendants can normally put them in a fridge.

Thanks both, all sorted now. I'm amazed at how much better the printing process in the library is now since I last went, very easy.

Hello,

Does anyone know what I need to do to use the printers in Dulwich library? I vaguely remember having to show some ID and utility bill once upon a time to get a library card. I no longer live at the same address so would need to re-register.

Thanks

Hello,

Has anyone used the Animals at Home team for cat sitting? If so I'd be grateful to hear of any reviews or testimonials on their services.

Thanks

I can also recommend Ryan from RJS, he is doing some work for me now.

Good point, thank you for the advice.

Hello,

Can anyone recommend someone to help block off a fire place. I'm guessing it may need bricking off a little (you can see it has been done a bit from the photo attached), and then plastering over.

Any suggestions?

Many Thanks

I recommend Victor and his son from 007 Handyman Services - [email protected]

They recently did a number of jobs for me, changing light switches, plug sockets, putting up curtain rails, blinds, new light. Very good.

Thank you, but I actually tried T&T and they never got back to me with the quote after their visit, which is why i am on here again trying other options.

Hope they work out for you.
