As above really... Need a reasonably priced carpet cleaner

I'm had some absolutely stunning photographs of my daughter taken by the wonderful Natasha from http://luxeweddingsphotographic.com/portraits/#1

I can't recommend her highly enough.

Hi there, I'm moving from East dulwich to tunbridge wells in the next few weeks and looking for a reliable man with a van who could move my furniture for me. I don't have too much so don't need a removals company. Thanks

Hi there, just wondered, is there still an East Dulwich Writers' Group? I googled and found something, but nothing seems to be active. And secondly, if there isn't one, are there any writers - professional or amateurs - who would be interested in one?

I mean natural looking rather than natural products...

Hi there, can anyone recommend a good place for a very natural fake tan in ED?

Hi there, me and my (almost) two-year-old daughter have just moved to East Dulwich and we'd love to get to know any other single parent families - as well as other families - round here!

We find the weekends can drag a bit when we assume everyone is spending their weekends with husbands etc. If anyone would like to hang out at the park with us, we'd love to hear from you.

A bit about me, I'm a journalist working for national newspapers, magazines and sometimes telly - but don't let that put you off! We have been living out of town for the last 18 months but are very happy to be living back in London now. We were in Muswell Hill before but we've decided to come south now as lots of our friends are down here, but not many if them have kids which is why we'd like to find some nice mums - or dads - to hang out with. Do say hello!

Thank you

Hi there, I've just moved into landcroft road and looking for my nearest or best GP surgery to register at... Any ideas?

Hi there, can anyone recommend any reformer Pilates classes in east dulwich? Ideally drop in classes better rather than signing up to a gym. Thanks

hi there, i'm hoping to get in for september 2015. when should i apply? does anyone know?

that's perfect! thanks for the tip!

Great, thanks v m

Hi there, we're moving to the area next month and would be interested to hear any recommendations for groups/classes/fun things to do with a two year old in ED... thanks

hi there, they sound absolutely perfect, but i'm assuming everyone lives in and comes from finland? such a shame, but that's exactly what i'm looking for...

ha! yes, drop me a line and i'll persuade your parents that everyone is doing it! But apparently, due to the recession, it is becoming a thing now, so would love to speak to anyone who has attempted it - either temporarily or permanently.

Hi there, has anyone heard of this, or better still done it themselves? I'm writing a feature about older parents who are house swapping with their kids who have growing families but can't afford a bigger property... the parents have all family off their hands so are happy to downsize, so the two generations swap houses. Has anyone done this? thanks

Thanks for taking a look at my email, I actually work from home so I would be looking for somewhere locally.

Also, thanks everyone else for your comments, I think I've settled on East Dulwich as the area I want to be in now, it's just a case of finding nurseries with space for a two-year-old or childminders come september, so any suggestions gratefully received!!

thanks, very helpful! i've such a lot to learn!

i had a look on a school catchment map that someone had done based on 2013 admissions and i don't know i'd get into goodrich, particularly as the catchment areas have probably got smaller since then. does anyone know what the harris catchment area will be yet? also, on that same catchment map, oakhurst seems to fall into bessemer grange??

Hi there, Just wondered if anyone has any recommendations for nursery/childminder who may have availability starting in september for a two year old?? Planning a move to the area and don't know where to start so recommendations would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Hi all, thanks for your advice... having spent the day down in ED, I think i've settled on that as the area I want to live in. I saw a few properties, one in under hill road which i liked (close to friern road) and another in oakhurst grove which i loved, but neither seem to fall into any obvious school catchments. any ideas? or shall i keep looking?

Hi there, I'm currently living up in Peterborough but planning on a move to East Dulwich with my 22 month old daughter in the next couple of months. I want to move to an area that has plenty of good schools as I need to apply next year, and also somewhere that is lively for me and my daughter to make lots of new friends. A lot of friends live scattered around SE London, hence the reason I'm moving, but I don't know where to start when picking areas or schools. Some people have suggested places like Telegraph Hill or Beckenham, but I wonder whether we might feel a bit isolated over there on our own. Most importantly, I need to help finding affordable nursery care or childminders. Can anyone offer a newbie any help on where to start? And if East Dulwich would be a nice, yet perhaps expensive, place for a mum and daughter? Thanks ever so!
