Thank you for your response to this thread. Unfortunately the post has been abused and has had to be pulled down.

...before I resort to buying on Amazon for an amount we can't afford. We actually only need it for 6 weeks only until we move.... Please can anyone help? Please, please? X 07760181419 but phonecalls only as my text service is completely broken.

Hello! Me too....did the same move and defo haven't found my feet here. I'd love to meet some like minded mums. I have an 8 month old little girl....... Anyone? Xx

Hi there, Apparently my other half is seemingly always too busy to do ANY D.I.Y around the house whatsoever....it seems FIFA, online forums and Series 1 of 24 is more important. He keeps telling me I am an idiot for getting someone in to do day to day stuff, but I am clueless with DIY and have a 5 month old firstborn clamped to my hip/boob/shoulder all day. Ha! It has now been 6 months since we moved in and since I've been asking for some help putting pictures up, drilling some coat hooks up, etc, etc. Nada. So, I am looking for a good, trusted and fair priced helping hand. Some paintings hang high so I guess a little ladder may be needed? It's general DIY but I reckon it's a good days' work. Can anyone here recommend a decent person, you know, one who cares about his work and doesn't charge ridiculous amounts? I could so desperately do with a good handyman's number..... Thank you, thank you, Xx

This Summer we are hoping to brave a trip abroad....3 little ones who will be 8, 4 and a half and a 9 month old. We have to book this holiday way in advance for various reasons and we really don't have a big budget at all. We have always holidayed in the UK, but this year the 2 older kids really want to be on a sandy beach abroad. We are not particularly fussed where we go but we would really like all inclusive as we're all knackered. Short of Club Med and Mark Warner, I'm not really sure where to start looking, lol! We had a quick look this a.m at Thomson and we were both shocked by the prices. Does anyone out there know of any secrets or have any advice as to where we could be looking for one week's all inclusive or even bed and breakfast somewhere......? This is all very new to me and I have no idea how a family of 5 begins to embark on a holiday abroad on a budget in school holidays!!!!!!!!!!!!!! By the way, I'd like to add....if it was up to me, I'd be all up for Cornwall for a week but with the useless British weather, we want somewhere sunny with a pool for the kids, just for a week. Thank you in advance for any replies and also, my apologies in advance ifnI don't reply for a while as I am pretty hands full right now.... Lol, ELB x

And I second all of these comments. Thanks to the original posting here, little baby C and I found Chee's Baby Sensory class in F.Hill which we attended for the first time when little C was just 9 weeks old. We now attend Chee's Tueaday classes in Brockley and we LOVE them. Chee just captivates all of the little ones and her classes are always full of enthusiasm and fun. We just love it....cannot recommend her classes enough. Xx

The Ponds products are fantastic............can't beat them. X

wow, super helpful. thanks tons peeps. xx

Does anyone out there know of a great (online ) service for printing Instagram photos? Thank you! X

We are looking for a very inexpensive venue (not a place of worship) for a baby naming ceremony. I am currently considering the Horniman but have yet to be quoted a fee.... Budget is low. My best friend runs a catering company so I'd like to bring in catering, etc, from her. I'm new to this area really and was wondering if anyone knew of any good venues. My daughter's name has an association with music so if any venues come to mind that have a musical history, that would be even more perfect. Thank you in advance for any recco's, xx

Looking for 1 x spare ticket for this years Schools Choir event at the O2 this coming Wednesday. Please PM me if you happen to have a spare. Thank you Viv

Well, when I say "urgently wanted" I mean sooner rather than later. Unfortunately, I live in a crazy house with a man who doesn't quite understand that the laundry doesn't do itself and that the dishwasher is there to be used, not to have the dishes stacked next to it.......we also have a small matter of a newborn and I'm not coping brilliantly. Somehow the house seems to have been turned upside down and there's no time to sort everything out until 9pm+ when I'm knackered. I am looking for someone to come by for 2 - 2.5 hours almost each morning (not Mondays) or evening (preferably morning) to help tidy down and do some laundry, ironing, etc. If not each morning, then every other morning..... Location: Beckenham Public Transport: 1 minute from Kent House station, 2 mins from Clock House station and next to the Beckenham Road tram stop. Parking: off street parking is available. Pay: ?8 per hour All cleaning materials provided. Good English understanding is required.... If you're int It would help if you were good with kids.....indeed, babies, too, but it's not entirely necessary. If you're interested or even if you could only do 2 or 3 mornings per week, please get in touch via a PM here or through [email protected] Thanks.

Thanks for all of your fantastic help, as ever, EDF people. I am now on crutches and have a physio appt at Crystal Palace National Sports Centre this coming Monday. xx

We used GB Liners....they were brilliant. I've used them for 5 moves now, ever since 2006... xxx

I urgently need Physio on my severely sprained foot....does anyone know a Physio open or working on weekends? If so, pls reply or call me on 07760181419. THANK YOU from bed where I'm holed up and can't walk...... X
