Our state primary did zoom lessons for the kids every day pre Christmas during a two week isolation. There were a lot of kids on the calls but it worked pretty well. So it is allowed and possible!

They are just by our kitchen bi-fold door so we end up with lots in the house. No stings yet but have two small children to protect so ideally would like them gone!

We have a problem with wasps - we think they are solitary wasps and therefore don?t have a nest. They are living in our wooden sleepers and burrowing out. We had them treated twice last year and we hoped that after the freezing winter they would be gone but no such luck. Has anyone else had these and had success getting rid of them? It?s not an easy sleeper bed to remove unfortunately so that would really be our last option. Any suggestions gratefully received!

Shutter Studio - we were really happy with them and have recommended them to friends too who have also been happy. Very knowledgeable,polite and tidy.

Probeauty on Hindmans Road is my favourite http://www.probeautyclinic.co.uk

Thanks for all your suggestions, I now have 2 people lined up to quote. Thanks!

We are wanting to get a new boiler, we tried British gas but after thy cancelled our appointment for a quote they now can't give another one until February. Can anyone recommend anyone locally who is good a reliable that could come and give us a quote? Thanks

Thanks for the advice!

I would like to put a radiator cover in our hallway but after measuring up it seems our radiator is very high 95cm. Annoyingly I can only seem to find ones up to about 93cm! Has anyone had one made? And how much did it cost? Really don't want to spend a fortune but struggling to find anything ready made that would work.

we used KFH earlier in the year - they sold our house within 4 days to the first people that viewed, before it even got listed on line. They also secured us a higher price than the other agents had suggested even putting it on the market for. This may have just been pot luck as they had a buyer they knew would be interested but overall it was a good experience. A few stumbles when it came to exchange but I think that is common of all sales.

Has anyone had any experience with refurbishing Victorian doors? We have recently moved into a new house and the doors are not in very good condition - they have lots of paint splatters and years worth of dark stains that are uneven. Some are in better condition than others - I don't really know whether it is best to try and restore them or just to buy new ones. Do you know of any companies/carpenters that do this sort of think - i understand they could potentially be dipped to take off all the old layers and start fresh? Any advice gratefully received.

Hi - I also need to get some victorian doors trimmed down as we have had a new carpet fitted and the doors no longer fit. Just tried to call 123Matt but the number above doesn't seem to work?

Hi - I am expecting my second in late feb. My first will be coming up to 3 by then. Would love to join the meet-up. will send number via pm for whatsapp group. Thanks!

Still looking for recommendations if anyone has any?

We are hoping to move our small family bathroom into the bedroom next to it and turn the existing bathroom into a study area. I'd love some recommendations from anyone who has had a good experience moving a bathroom into a different room. Many thanks

Hi, We are looking at moving out of east dulwich to get s little more space and bigger garden. We like a property in west dulwich and the nearest school would be elm wood. Is anyone able to share their views of the school? I know it is Ofsted outstanding which is a great start but doesn't really give me a sense of what it's actually like. They won't offer me a tour and the open days aren't until closer to the end of the year which is too late for this decision. Any views, in particular thoughts from parents who have kids there would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks, I saw that post so have tried to contact them but so far no answer on phone or email. Will try again!

I had the same problem with my little one and I came to conclusion that the only thing that works is time. I tried everything I could think of and nothing worked. I was desperate because was getting married and in the end my daughter and my husband came on my hen do and I breast fed on my wedding day!!! And then at about 5 months old for no reason she just started taking it. A friend of mine's daughter took 7 months before she would. Probably not the answer you are looking for but it can take a lot of energy and stress trying to force the issue, especially if you've set yourself a deadline. I never really managed to play hardball though - just too upsetting watching your little cry.

Can anyone recommend a good building surveyor for an upcoming house purchase in forest hill. Thanks

We just had a lovely weekend in Alfriston in East Sussex, less than 2 hours drive. Really pretty village with nice pubs, good short walks along the river, Middle Farm which was great for petting animals and jumping about in hay, there's also drusilla's zoo. We stayed in a lovely airbnb - we were a large group but sure there must be smaller options too

I called Aria to look at our leaking downstairs toilet off the back of these recommendations. He and his brother came round very quickly, took a look and said because it was a concealed cistern it would be a big job and all the tiles/casing would have to come down. He quoted me ?750 for the job, which not surprisingly was a bit of a shock. I got another plumber round for a second opinion and he fixed the leak for me within the hour and charged me ?30. I don't know if this was a genuine mistake from Aria but just goes to show it's always worth getting a second opinion. It saved me a lot of mess, money and hassle.

We booked our holiday through totstotravel. All properties are family friendly and they provide you everything you need, cots, toys, high chairs etc. They had a lot of nice places - may well be booked up now but you never know.

Hahaha, seems like it'll only cost ?16 to post so we have a solution :)

It's a long shot but wondering if anyone is heading to Hannover? My brother from Australia has just gone to Heathrow this afternoon to fly to Hannover and has just realised he left his coat at our house! I will find out how much it costs to post but thought I would put the question out there on the off chance anyone could take it!

I went to see cherry tree Montessori on lacon road the other day and they had spaces. There seem to be some negative reviews about it on the forum but it seemed nice to me. They seemed very friendly.
