Feather & Black High Sleeper Bed with Desk - £50 ONO
chantelle replied to chantelle's topic in For Sale & Items Offered
-
Hi, this well made single loft bed has some wear and tear but is in good shape to see another child through their early teens! (Suitable for up to around age 15-16.) Don't think they are still making it but it's a formerly popular model as pictured below. We have dis-assembled and it is available for pick up any time from Honor Oak Park. Frame only, no mattress.

I'd recommend David Mitchell. Good advice picking out frames, high quality work and much cheaper than others we have used. https://plus.google.com/110619933471248046340/about?gl=uk&hl=en

We are looking for quotes / recommendations for tilers, that could do this job for us: [a] Victorian style mosaic tiling for front garden path and step (1.2m x 3.8m). Paving remainder of front garden. (less than 2.1m x 4.4m). Not sure of materials, maybe slate. [c] Removal and clearance of existing, shallow concrete surface. Please see attachments for a plan / photos. Something like this: http://rhsblog.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/victorian-black-and-white-tile-path.JPG Our neighbours on both sides are interested in the same work, so potentially x3 jobs. Location is Agnew Road, Honor Oak Park, SE23 1DH. We'd like the work to start sooner rather than later but can be flexible. Thanks very much.

Stillness School - anyone have any opinions?
chantelle replied to BeadyBoo's topic in The Family Room Discussion
As I said earlier, we put Stillness first, Dalmain second and got the offer from Dalmain. You can email Lewisham admissions with your address and they will tell you exactly how far away you are. The nurseries don't operate on the same basis - so a neighbour of mine has her son at Stillness nursery although I'm not sure she's aware how little chance he has of getting into reception there. -
Stillness School - anyone have any opinions?
chantelle replied to BeadyBoo's topic in The Family Room Discussion
We moved to HOP two years ago, with our hearts set on Stillness. Turned out we were something like 27m too far away at 503m for 2012 intake. We were eighth on the first round list but never got an offer. But even before that we'd been to Dalmain (which we are closer to, at around 330m) and really liked what we saw. Now we are 100% happy with Dalmain, and it is where most of the kids on our side of HOP seem to go. HOP in general is fantastic, and the houses are generally bigger and cheaper than SE15/SE22. -
Zany, that's awful, I would have said fine, take him and you can have a sixth then if you're such a perfect mum!

just came back to thread and happy to see you had some success with my tip!

I've been to a bunch of 5th bday parties in the past few months and I think the most popular one was very simple - church hall with a hired bouncy castle and some organised games. Rhubarb & Custard is also nice, I haven't been to a party there but have been for crafts sessions.

my son said those exact words "i want to make you dead" several months ago and I was pretty shocked! It only happened the one time. Your technique around hitting sounds interesting and like a good way to defuse the situation. I have had some success saying - oh are you going to hit mummy? is that what you want to do? - to get him to think about what's playing out and get his feelings back under control.

Pelvic girdle pain - osteopath, chiropractor or physio?
chantelle replied to MrsLL2b's topic in The Family Room Discussion
I got great relief from an osteopath. The physio at Kings was really no help at all, but everyone is different it seems. I also had to wait 16 weeks for the Kings appointment, after requesting it at 14 weeks pg! -
25 month old won't let mummy leave bedroom HELP!!
chantelle replied to Kalamiphile's topic in The Family Room Discussion
God, I totally remember this phase of being held hostage, and it still goes on sometimes at age 4. I don't really have any advice, I would stay as long as I could and then leave till tears. I think it was just easiest to stay until they're asleep because going back two or three times would take a lot longer. -
However if you want to take up free 15 hours preschool from 3, you are meant to apply when they are two. That placement has no bearing though on getting a reception place.

Children's ENT specialist recommendations wanted please!
chantelle replied to esme's topic in The Family Room Discussion
We saw Tony Jacob at Blackheath Hospital for my son's hearing problem and snoring. Was quickly sorted with adenoid surgery and grommets. -
Wow, so many American moms! It was great to coincidentally stumble on this get together today and hope there will be another soon. -Margot

Summer with 4 year old and 7 mth old!
chantelle replied to Nikkikf's topic in The Family Room Discussion
My two are the same ages (boy turning four in two weeks, girl 7 months). Let me know if you all are planning any activities! -
i don't know that company but I pay something like ?125/year to PAYE for Nannies. I think there are just a couple of really overpriced services out there and others are competing (rightly) on price. What they do is really pretty basic though IMO it's money well spent not to do it myself.

It's primary school applications results day!!!
chantelle replied to clux's topic in The Family Room Discussion
Just got the letter and we are only 27 meters off first choice Stillness so should have a decent shot on the wait list. -

chantelle replied to clux's topic in The Family Room Discussion
thanks for that explanation Carbonara. Scotlass - surprised that came up as a wild card - it has a decent reputation, we don't live too far but didn't apply as we are not church going of any type. -
Anniversary meal - recommendation for where to go?
chantelle replied to sillywoman's topic in The Family Room Discussion
haven't tried Village East but had awful food and pretty poor service the other night at the Garrison, its sister restaurant. It was such a disappointment! I am another fan of Angels and Gypsies though ... -
It's primary school applications results day!!!
chantelle replied to clux's topic in The Family Room Discussion
I get a bit confused - do you have to reject your choice to get on waiting lists and if not, how do the places free up? In other words, why would anyone reject the place they've been assigned before knowing they have another place? (barring moving house of private school admission) -

got second choice in Lewisham. What did you get Bishberro? We had Stillness first but got Dalmain. We are closer to Dalmain but only 600m from Stillness. -
Brixton Ritzy Kids Club - ok for a toddler?
chantelle replied to rebeccaben's topic in The Family Room Discussion
