Really need to send message but a message is coming up to contact administrators regarding IP address issues! Could you let me know what the prob is, thanks!

Thanks for all the advice, will check out those places tomorrow and see which is best value for money. And will make sure any previous damage is confirmed before going any where!

We're off for a long weekend over Easter and need to hire a car. Has any one had any experience of local car hire at a reasonable price? I've found a lot of the companies are extortionate and you end up paying for scratches which were there before you drove the car! Any good suggestions would be really appreciated, thanks :)

It's so awful when this happens! Now it's just a boring old wall again :(

I'm always in Yumi stuff, I find it affordable and a bit unique as I tend to feel a bit 'mumsy' when I put on clothes from Whitestuff etc, so I'd really recommend it Pickle. Also rate Vero Moda, Gap and really love Mabel in ED. I'm 39 too and I'm still swapping clothes with my teenage daughter! Not her midriff length tops though :)

Can make this date so will be there with my son. Looking forward to meeting you all!

Just had a look on Sport relief website and apparently the nearest place to take part in the run on 25th March is Lewisham. I'm pretty sure they normally do one near Dulwich, has any one got any info as interested in taking part? Also interested in whether any one is training for it, as I'm out of practice and could do with some enthusiastic running companions to keep me motivated!! Thanks.

It's a really good idea as we suffer from the same problem and always end up at the same parks time and time again. The only prob I had with the site is how do you see whether each park listed has the dedicated parking, cafe etc' which you have on the key?

Ok, may be it was just one or two times after a Millwall match against Crystal palace (pretty sure it was that match but my football facts are pretty foggy!) that the fans were in there going a bit crazy. Any way, I don't mean to insinuate that all Millwall fans are like that, it was just this particular lot...phew, scared about offending any one on this site now!!

I can't believe there is even a thread of this title on the Ed Forum, how ridiculous. I don't normally post but having read this I am quietly fuming! In defense of mothers and fathers (yes, I am one, as are a majority of adults in the british population) of course people will get defensive if you make huge sweeping statements about their ability to be good parents! It's insulting and very ignorant to assume that people having a relaxed drink are mistreating their children. East Dulwich has always been very much a family area. I have lived here for many years and to be honest, ten years ago if you walked into 'The Foresters' there were normally a load of Millwall fans jumping around on the tables, so I know which people I'd rather see in the pub when I meet up with my friends for a drink. There seems to be a growing resentment towards families moving into the area and alot of snide remarks about pushchairs and the patronizing use of the phrase 'yummy mummy's'. Would you prefer it to have the crime rate it had fifteen years ago or for there to be lots of children growing up here and a much safer feel to the area? Please can we let people go about their own business and do things the way they feel is right without the constant and needless criticism of parents, surely there are more worthy reasons to have a good winge??

So parents with children aren't allowed to shop either? What a miserable lot you are...

I tend to think that if a dog is running around without a lead, especially near children's play areas or near the duck pond then it must be friendly, other wise owners would surely be stricter about it bounding up to children etc? For people who don't have gardens, and there are alot of us unfortunately, the park is pretty much the only place we can allow our kids to go wild and get some exercise, so although I agree that parents need to be very aware of their child's safety I don't think we should be encouraged to keep them under control at all times! It's good for them to have some freedom and fun. It's up to both dog owners and parents to act responsibly with out blaming eachother. The only subject I get really enraged about is dog poo, I've lost count of the time both my kids have got covered in it during the school run (nightmare, have to go home and get them changed!)or my little toddler has wiped it all over me when I pick him up, nice! But what can you do? From what I can see it's the minority of dog owners who allow it any way.

Could she just be tired out from starting school and needing to rest a bit during the hols? My five year old nephew has been shattered since he began school and has really needed some time at home this summer. It's alot for them to take in and get used to. It's all pretty non-stop on a school day!

Hi there, We are off to Devon this weekend and are hoping to be able to fit in some walking in the countryside - pretty hard to do with a push chair! Does any one have one of those backpack type baby carriers that is sitting around not in use much which I could either borrow for the week or buy if you'd like to get rid of it? I'd really appreciate it as I'm not going to have the chance to buy one before the weekend and I really want to get out and about with the tot and not be limited to footpaths. He is 16 months now and weighs 22 pounds, think you can carry on using the back carriers until quite old? Many thanks, Elly

Fuschia, where is Bew court? Sounds exactly the sort of thing Evs would love to go to - he's crazy about acoustic guitars :)
