Hi I bought (a very lightweight!) small wire unit from eBay this week - that's collection only from Hitchin.. Does anyone from ED area happen to be travelling that way and back in the next couple of weeks who I could pay to collect the item for me please? I will obviously send dimensions etc but it's something that can easily fit in a boot or onto a back seat.. Please PM me if so! Many thanks Sarah

Can anyone recommend a small skip hire (just for garden soil removal) or garden waste removal in Crystal Palace area that do not cost a fortune? We will need the waste taking away this weekend (Sunday)or early next week. Please PM me as I receive notifications of emails and don't check here as often. Thanks in advance!

We have floor tiles due to be fitted in our hall and kitchen next week. There is laminate flooring currently laid in both rooms and and our floorer said we could remove this ourselves to save money or he'll charge us his own fee. Wondering if anyone may be able to do this removal and disposal at a lower rate than he can!..?

Celeste Nelson (Hespera is her company name) is great and recently made some roman blinds and covered an Ercol chair cushion for us - highly recommend. https://www.facebook.com/CelesteMariaHespera/?hc_ref=SEARCH

Any recommendations appreciated..

Has anyone had their existing kitchen/hall floor taken up and replaced with tiles? I'm looking at the potential for us to do the same but trying to suss out costs first! If anyone could recommend anyone reliable and efficient, it'd be appreciated. Thanks.

Just following up on this in case anyone has?..

Have now found someone.

We have a sofa to move from our house to put into storage 4 miles from our house. We are SE23 Honor Oak Park and moving it to Eltham SE9. My husband will be there to assist. Pls PM me if you can help.

Would love to know of anyone's experiences as we're having an infuriating time with them at the moment...! Pls PM me if you have any personal experience as we're totally in the dark at the mo! Big thanks...

We need our windows cleaned before we move out of our house next month - can any recommend a window cleaner who covers Honor Oak Park, SE23? Thanks in advance

Can anyone recommend a decent and not outrageously expensive end-of-tenancy cleaner? Our landlady is a friend and the place doesn't need to look brand new but it'd be handy to have somebody to help do more than the average weekly clean on our house when we move out next month - with two small kids in tow too, could do without spending 5 hours cleaning the old place!.. It won't be needed until mid/end of September and we are in Honor Oak Park, SE23. Thanks in advance..

Thanks, I'm pretty set on LG now and they also do a version which is washable, win win! I'll save their chalky one for our bedroom only :)

I'm just wondering, for a final canvas of opinion before I rule out totally - is Farrow & Ball (or in fact Little Greene paint as I can get a discount on it and heard it's on par with F&B finish) a total no-go on interior walls if you have two young children? I hear it's a nightmare to retouch? I'm in love with the chalky finish but hear I may have to sacrifice that for durability instead - ie, not F&B or Littlr Greene. Would love to know what anyone thinks?..Thanks!

I'm off to a furniture sale in Betmondsey where any sales have to be taken away the same day. I may not end up getting anything but I am going to try and find a small desk and a chair. Is anyone available at short notice to move furniture from Bermondsey SE1 to Honor Oak SE23?

Brilliant, thanks. It would be an entire house removal and we'd need two men too.

Can anyone recommend any reliable and affordable men with a van to hire to help move house locally? Many thanks in advance

Would anyone know of and can recommend any good day nurseries in Upper Norwood/SE19 area?.. Thanks in advance..

Ah great, thank you.

We have a loft which is slowly becoming overrun with stuff we no longer need or use. Can anyone recommend a decent car boot sale in our near London? There's too much to list on here, some good stuff for charity but equally things I'd like to get some cash for too.. Many thanks.

Thanks, just replied :)

Hi We have bought a lovely Ercol dining table that has quite a large scratch. I'd like to speak to someone who may be able to help restore it or at least polish it to a less obvious state?! I believe the previous owner tried to polish it but used a mis-matched colour which has enhanced it. I have an image I can send. Many thanks Sarah
