Thank you, this is very helpful!

Hi all, I’m thinking of doing a home DNA test and can’t decide between 23&me or Ancestry - does anyone have any experience or any recommendations for either please? thanks!

Hi, the EDF community was very helpful with my previous request for a summer holiday recommendation. Thank you (Lagos, Portugal). Wondering if you all have any recs for an October Half Term break - we have one week and would love some sunshine with relatively short travel times - is this possible? family of four with 2 teenagers, 13&15. thank you!

Amazing, thank you everyone. We’ve gone for Kokum - I’ll report back!

I’m heading out with 2 friends next Saturday to Lordship Lane, no dietary requirements - would love recommendations for a nice restaurant on Lordship Lane please - haven’t been there for a long time. thank you

Thank you!

Hi all, We’re searching for a holiday destination - somewhere that we can be based for the duration without needing to rely on a car. Wondering if anyone has any recs please? We have 12&14 year old boys, would love a coastal resort - cliff jumping nearby, beach activities, shops and restaurants/bars within walking distance. We’ve been to Javea (Costa Blanca) and loved it, so looking for something similar. Would be grateful for any suggestions… thanks!

Looking for a cleaner to do weekly/bi weekly clean in Nunhead family home. Must be DBS checked, have references, speak English and be comfortable with a large dog in the home :) Please DM with hourly rates and availability. Thank you!

Thank you, appreciate the info.

Hi, Have been debating this evening with my 13 year old and would like to get other parents opinions please: 1. What time does your 13 year old go to bed on: A) school night B) weekend/holiday 2. How much screen time (tablet/phone/Mac/Tv) does your 13 year old have per day? 3. Do you have any general ?rules? around the house? Thanks in advance!

Hi, my son gets the coach in from Nunhead - occasionally when he doesn?t want to wait for the coach to leave he?ll just walk home - through Dulwich Park, down Barry Road and through Peckham Rye.. pleasant enough and good exercise :)

Hi, My son has just shown an interest in boxing - wondered if there were any suitable classes locally that he might be able to try? Thanks!

I have 8 & 10 year old boys who are keen to own and wear a Fitbit - does anyone have experience of one that?s suitable and affordable for kids? Fitbit or similar? thanks!

Thanks all!

Can anyone recommend a great resort and agent for a family ski trip please, youngest will be 4. Thank you!

Hi, I'm sure this has been requested before but can anyone please recommend any local car boot sales please? I have a lot of items that i'd love to clear, varying from kids clothes/shoes to toys/books and household items. Thanks! Jodi

Thanks all, really appreciate your comments and links. I?m definitely not giving in, the desire he has to permanently be attached to technology is already too much so hoping to take a step back in general. Wish me luck.

My 9 year old is desperate for this game, can I ask your opinions please? Thanks!

Thank you everyone for your feedback. Just to say I ended up letting my 9 year old go as lots of his best friends (& dads were going on Saturday). My judgement suggested it might not be suitable, but I knew he wanted to see it... however I was proved right - he found it too scary and left the cinema. Now at least he?ll understand why movies have a rating and might be deterred in future. Lesson learned all round, but if you?re unsure as a parent, trust your instinct :)

Thank you both.. very helpful. Instinct suggest no in particular for youngest.

Just wondering if anyone has any feedback, both keen to see it but am reluctant in case unsuitable. Thanks!
