Totally normal. Were you a perfect angel at 8 years old?

I have just received an offer for my child to attend Dulwich Village Infants School. We were planning to send the little one to private school but are reconsidering after this offer. Does anyone have direct experience of this school or strong opinions either way? Thanks so much.

My little boy had his bike stolen from outside our house on Tulsemere Road, West Norwood. Yellow Bob The Builder bike with stabilisers, and box at the back. If you know anything pls message me. Thanks.

I really like the French wooden shutters that many people seem to have. Can anyone recommend an affordable company that does these? If it's local even better. Thanks.

Can anyone recommend a good handyman/carpenter who could do the following jobs. 1) Box in an extractor fan 2) build frames and install two small internal windows 3) Install frame and external door to a small lean-to 4) install garden gate 5) install loft hatch Lots of jobs I realise. But any advice much appreciated. I live in West Dulwich. Thanks.

We have Karndean in two bathrooms and our utility room and I love it. I never have to worry that the kids are throwing their toys around. It's hard wearing and looks great. I have the classic oak and American walnut.

The best advice I have is this: If you want granite worktops, get them from a granite supplier not from a kitchen company. They are exactly the same and about 1000 pounds cheaper. I prefer the look of wood but my last wooden worktop looked awful after just a few months, especially around the sink so I opted for granite this time.

Can anyone recommend a good, affordable painter/decorator to do three newly plastered walls? I need someone soon. Please pm me if you know of anyone. Thanks.

I am considering installing chippendale cabinets (real wood Shaker painted ivory). Does anyone have one of these? Are you happy with the look and quality, etc.? Thanks
