I have been bought a beautiful leather jacket from my partner for my birthday which I'd really like to keep though the arms are too long (rest of jacket fits very well). Can anyone recommend a very good taylor who could confidently alter leather? Thank you.

Thank you for the responses to this thread and thank you to the many, many parents who in-boxed us with your opinions. We are very grateful to have had such a great response.

i didn't like Fennies. Have my reasons... we opted for Kids Unlimited and our little one LOVES it there. They're wonderful.

Looking rather urgently for recommendations for a Paediatric Physio to help a little 16 month old with terrible coughs and helping her to move the phlegm along. Can anyone rec anyone fairly local? Thanks, x

I don't particularly want to go into detail here on a public forum so please forgive me for this short post. I'm new to the area having moved over here not so long ago and I've spent quite a while looking into local schools for my young daughter. I have whittled it down to Ducks, Herne Hill and Rosemead pretty much in that order, with her name down for all three. We are looking at Sept 2016 entry, should we be at all successful. DD will be rising 3 that year. I have, however, had a few Mums stop me and make a comment about Ducks - some say it's not the best start for the girls (better for the boys) and others have made various comments that have made me cautious. For me, I loved the huge grounds there and the music facilities seemed wonderful (this was important for me). I really liked HH too but I sort of ruled it out because it seemed quite small (almost cramped) and I wasn't sure on whether there was enough outdoors space or outdoors stuff going on. However, it may have seemed cramped due to the huge amounts of people there that Open Day morning. Knowing my daughter as I do now, I see someone very interested in music and books and she misses no opportunity to kick any ball around. She loves running around. She's less bothered by her dolls and soft toys and all the gadgets that flash and make noises. She just always has her head in a book or is tapping away at a various musical instrument / toy. She's very spirited too - doesn't like to sit down and cuddle in on one's lap...always wants to be mooching about doing something. That's the best I can say as a 1st time parent - I'm pretty sure I've just described a bog-standard toddler though!! I have turned to this Forum to ask if there are any parents out there who can offer their opinions or tell me about their experiences....... Thank you in advance.

I am toying with the idea. I wouldn't know where to start and it's not something I want to find from out of the blue. Would anyone be able to recommend somewhere fairly local, around South East London at least? I would appreciate recommendations from people who have had a good and successful experience. Thanks in advance.

We read a good book called "It's Not Your Fault KoKo Bear" to the kids and I also hugely recommend Divorce Poison which is a MUCH better read than the title suggests. Hugs xxxx

Hello, We are new to the area and I am slightly apprehensive of posting on-line! We are looking for a cleaner to come to our house three times per week (minimum) at either of these times (approximately): Either between 10am-12pm OR the evenings between 5:30pm-7:30pm or 6pm-8pm. As you can see, I am happy to be a bit flexible with the times. The help required is mainly cleaning and tidying the kitchen and helping with a lot of laundry and ironing. The house is located near to many stations and has off-street parking. We are not based in East Dulwich; we are based in SE20, at the bottom of Penge High St. If you might be interested, please send me a Private Message with your contact number and I will happily call you. Thank you for reading.
