We need help with listing and selling things on popular marketing sites to help clear our house out in advance of an overseas move. We need someone who can take photos, write descriptions, post the ads and manage the responses to help us move stuff this week. Please call Faith (07792939631) or Neal (07966474170) to discuss. Thanks!

We're looking to move home to Canada this summer for a year, maybe longer. We need help to sort out and make decisions about taxes, rental income on our house here, etc. Please get in touch if you can help or recommend an accountant with the relevant background. Thank you!

Hi everyone.

Have you had your loft converted for storage purposes only - i.e. boarded - not a full conversion? We are looking to do this and would like to hear your experiences, good and bad. Can't find an existing thread on here about this topic.

If you are a builder and do this sort of work and would be interested on quoting for the job, please PM me.

Many thanks and happy December!

Another big thumbs-up for Dave from McHow. He quickly sorted a problem with our boiler and offered us a discount on the call-out fee to boot! A lovely man and we would definitely call on Dave again for any problems with heating or plumbing.

Just wanted to add a warm recommendation for Jennifer and the Tropics products. I enjoyed a lovely facial at Jennifer's recently, and as others have commented, found Jennifer to be knowledgeable and professional and with a low-key, relaxed approach to marketing the Tropic line of products. I came away from Jennifer's house with the Tropic borrow box to try for a couple of days, which is a great way to experiment with them before committing to buy. They all smell delicious and I think I noticed a difference (improvement!) after just a few uses of the masks, cleanser, toner, etc. Many thanks, Jennifer! -- Faith

Hi there,

We are looking for an experienced decorator to hang wallpaper in a small bedroom -- 2 10m rolls of wallpaper are supposed to be more than enough for this wee job, just to give you an idea. I've done the rest of the decorating in the room myself but am running out of steam, want to work in the garden instead in my spare time, etc. Please PM if you could fit this in! We are in SE5 near Camberwell Grove. Many thanks, Faith

We hired Katie Cotterell -- goes by KatieC Photography -- after seeing her flyer posted near to our house. She did a day-in-the-life photo shoot with us and our two little ones and it was terrific. She is great company and great with kids. https://katiecphotography.pixieset.com

Another happy customer of Silvano Bozza here. I went with him and aced my test first time. Patient, thorough and -- perhaps most importantly given how many hours of practice can be involved -- good company. Highly recommended.

His details are: [email protected] and 07702615834.

Hi there,

We'd appreciate some help from forumites in finding out about any classes we can register our nearly 3 year old for that are held on Thursdays or Fridays, rather than the weekend. Not fussy about the activity, really; just want something fun / active / outdoorsy to give a bit of structure to his non-nursery days. Thanks!

Sorry! Mistakenly posted this in wrong section. Have now moved post to Family Room Classifieds.

To plant a small front garden ASAP. Must have experience with preparation and planting of a bamboo hedge. Please call Faith on 07792939631 to discuss and pop by for a look. Thanks!

Hi all,

Have just requested to join FB group, Kim -- many thanks for setting it up.

Our second baby is due 10 October but I've started maternity leave already so have now got the time to get ready for her arrival properly!

Looking forward to meeting you all in/around ED.

Sadly, Miguel was mugged the other day in Camberwell Green and his mobile stolen (he is okay, though understandably shaken up and annoyed). As far as I know, he does not yet have a new number. I will try to get in touch with him to let him know about this thread so he can post his new number.

This chest (photos attached) was made by my grandfather. In shipping from Canada, two of the legs were broken off and lost. Can you help by making and joining two new legs to the chest? They are not ornate and we would be delighted with legs that are more or less like the remaining two. Please give me a ring if you would like to discuss: mobile 07792939631. Thanks! Faith

We use Mason and Green and highly recommend them. The seats are fitted already when the driver shows up and all the drivers have been fantastic: relaxed and conscientious. Safe travels!

We'd be grateful to receive quotes from local electricians for two small jobs:

1. install doorbell (house is wired for it and we have the kit)

2. fix floor lamp (it's NOT the bulb or the fuse; we suspect it's the floor pedal switch which was jumped on by kids...).

Thanks!

Hi there Forumites,

We want to get out riding on our Brompton bicycles with our baby, who will soon be nine months old. We've seen various Brompton-compatible child seats but we're not sure what to buy. We'd like one that mounts in front of the parent, and ideally one seat will see our little one through from 9 months old up to 2 years or so. Any recommendations?

Many thanks!

Another happy customer here. Thanks, Nick, for putting up our big roller blinds and working around baby-based chaos and schedule! We'll call on Nick again when we need help, for his professionalism and all-round pleasant manner.

Hi there,

We're looking for a local business to sort us out with custom-made roller blinds for all the windows in our house, including measuring up, making and possibly fitting them as well. Recommendations welcome. Thanks.

We need someone to clean, prep and paint a bedroom in our house this weekend. It's a dusty mess following a house renovation. The job will involve getting the dust off of all our belongings (hoovering, washing, etc), emptying the room of stuff, washing and prepping the walls, and painting. Ideally, you will be able to supply your own hoover and decorating supplies.

We are happy to consider hourly or day rates. Please PM me if you are free/interested and we can discuss the details. Thanks!

And another thumbs up from us for Joseph -- great help with a short move from ED to Camberwell.

We need help with a small, local move this weekend. Only one item of furniture to move, plus light boxes and suitcases. It potentially could all fit in a large people-carrier or mini-van. We're moving from SE22 to SE5. Saturday preferred though Sunday is possible. PM or ring me on 07792939631 to discuss. Many thanks! Faith

Hi Knomester and Tara,

Thanks for your stories about how long you both persevered with (trying to) breastfeed despite all the problems. They've helped reassure me that I'm not crazy for persevering myself -- although surely I'm a masochist. I'll try to be realistic about what difference the cranial osteopath session might make. Would either of you say you are now breastfeeding relatively successfully/happily?

Anyway, yes, Knomester, Katie put us on to the Novogel pads, which seem to help a bit, or at least prevent nipples from getting worse.

Seems the subject of this thread needs to be updated to reflect the fact that we've spent the last few days talking about how to continue with breastfeeding, rather than bottle feeding practicalities!
