Dohchos

Brilliant brilliant, a fantastic initiative.

I saw her today with her dogs, I wondered if the authorities have caught up with her to have a chat about her dog handling

I see her in those three exact places and she was opposite Japps in the village at 3.30pm ish today, so she is definitely around the area.

No but I see her almost everyday with her two white dogs walking along half moon lane.

I gave him a sleeping bag today, not sure what else to do.

So judgemental

Bad things happen sometimes, we can't live our lives constantly second guessing others, so leave your dog responsible tied up to pop into a shop. Enjoy your day and let the dog fit in and around it, if we modify our whole lives to accommodate a few ill meaning people we will never get anything done.

I don't see why it's so hard to understand, if you attend a school with no catchment area it stands to reason some parents will drive there kids to school, no real issue to be dealt with, just how it is in some households.

Some of the children are only 5 and sometimes parents drive because they have to do multiply drops at different schools when the timings are tight, anywho Southwark have agreed to wait until after the 16th.

I sent the headmaster a link to this thread, and received the following email back, Thanks you for forwarding the link to the East Dulwich Forum. I have forwarded it to our Senior Leadership Team and our Safer Schools Officer. With kind regards Irene Morton PA to C Everitt - Principal Harris Boys' Academy, East Dulwich.

Another recommendation for Lee, we haven't used him yet, but he called straight back, he was punctual, helpful and knowledgable.

Another recommendation for Mehmet, worked hard, very reasonable and helpful.

In that case please don't call your wife that term, she really isn't, it is an antiquated term with negative connotations.

Herne Hill does stagger it's times, as the school does not have a catchment area not all parents can walk, however, there is usually somewhere to park, it only takes 5 mins to drop of and then the roads are clear again by 9.10am.

I think it was an awful post too.

Thank you, much appreciated, I will check them out.

My daughter has started nursery and attends everyday between 9 and 12. The first month was more than enough she came home exhausted but that has worn of now and I think she would like to do a few more activities in the afternoon. Most of the things I see posted are for morning classes, does anyone have any suggestions for classes/activities we can do between 12.30 - 4 thank you.

We didn't get on with Dulwich Montessori.

My daughter is currently between nurseries at the moment, she goes to magic moments a few days a week (which is great and recommended curtsey of the forum) but she needs more. Basically I want to do a few things with her playgroup, dancing etc, but I am not sure where to start. I have looked at EDtots but if anyone could recommend a few that would be great, she is 2 1/2.

Thank you guys, your replies are very much appreciated, I really didn't know where to start.

Thank you, I have spent the whole day researching nurseries.

Hi All I have been worried for a while about my daughters nursery but to my eternal shame I ignored my feelings because I enjoyed the time I had to get on with things that take three times as long when you have a 2 year old by your feet 😞. However, recently my fears about the nursery have been voiced by others and there is no ignoring them now. My daughter loves nursery, but I cant in good consciousness send her back, I am looking for any recommendations about a good nursery (with spaces) one with great staff and happy stimulated children, I don't work so I don't need a Nellys type nursery, I live in W Dulwich but drive. Thank you for reading and any replies would be very much appreciated.

I will try again, I know I can find books, I just thought new books were a little pricy, but I would love the idea of a book swap.

Thanks everyone, I think I have been on a general "wow, how much!" Charity shops are brilliant, but not so much for books for boys, my eldest is 9. I love the idea of a book swap.

Hi all I was wondering if I have missed something, but I am genuinely baffled by the price of childrens books ( I am aware of library's) but for those who want to own their own. I went into the local bookstore and saw the new David Walliams book is out, the cost is ?12.99, it's a childrens book, am I just completely out of touch or is that a lot ( it's was a hardback) I looked on amazon and it was reduced to ?5 as well as it being sold in sainsburys for ?5. So my point is shouldn't these books be more realistically priced, then the average family would be better placed to support local book shops, I know they cannot compete with amazon, but if the books were priced at say ?7.99 wouldn't that be more reasonable? I love book shops, being able to browse, read the back of the books, I just can't afford to purchase books from them for the whole family.
