  1. And I think many of them recommend to get the cover for it too. Don't have one myself but have contemplated buying one!

  3. Two brothers is by far the best fish and chips I have tried in Dulwich. Much prefer it to my local fish and chip shop on underhill Rd.
  4. Hi, i don't think it's bad at all. They are out in the playground a lot and have lots of things to do there, including climbing frames, playing with balls, running races etc so they get plenty of exercise doing that. PE as structured lesson starts in year one and I am personally fine with that.
  5. Hi convex - my boys have just finished reception at heber and there is no need for PE kit. They will not start PE until yr 1.

Hi James - Is there anyone else I could contact in order to get an answer In regards to the overall Southwark strategy (and indeed east Dulwich) to after school care? I am well aware of any benefits so more interested in a practical solution.....
  7. Magic moments on lordship lane, 'harvester end'.
  8. Sitting on a fence post outside the houses next to the Great Exhibition on Crystal Palace Road
  9. At least for privately owned flats, the management company / landlord has to serve a section 20 notice. it basically states the intention to tender major works, and then again, once quotes have been received, the landlord would send out the details to say which company will be undertaking the work and at what cost. I am not sure why it would be any different to ex-council flats? Basically, any major works which would cost the leaseholder ?250 or more in the year - the leaseholder would have to be consulted under section 20. May be worth looking into as to whether your girlfriend was consulted? Note that you also have the right to request further detail of the spend your girlfriend is being asked to pay. http://www.lease-advice.org/information/faqs/faq.asp?item=173 I am not a solicitor so may be wrong - but worth looking into the above. It definitely applies to leaseholders of private landlords.
  10. You would never pay an electrician 16k if you instructed one yourself. The point here is around the actual amount, isn't it? If I was your girlfriend I would ask for proof of what work has been undertaken.
  11. I fly Norwegian a lot within Europe and think they are good.
  12. The Wild life centre on Marsden Road?
  13. Hi James, Any update on my after school child care query please (query raised before you went on holiday on this thread) Thank you
  14. Son has managed to spill water on his leap pad and now it doesn't work. Does anyone know if this could be fixed and if so who could do it? Thanks!

  16. James, There seem to be a pretty big shortage of afterschool care places in at least two of the primary schools in ED. Is there a central policy/strategy on afterschool care in ED or Southwark, or does this fall outside of the agenda of the councillors? Are you aware of any afterschool clubs that have spare spaces? In the school where my kids are, I was told there were 40 kids on the waiting list currently. I have PMd you in regards to this twice but no response so it would be great to hear your thoughts.
  17. Hi, We went to Arinsal. It was actually before we had kids, but good for my husband who was a beginner. It is now quite a few years ago (time goes fast!). We stayed in a hotel; Hotel Spa Princesca Park.
  18. Ski-wear: try either decathlon or H&M (they sell skiwear as they are a Swedish brand but you have to buy early in the season as they tend to run out.) Possibly also TK Maxx. We went to Andorra a few years ago which was good for beginners. Can't remember who we booked through though.
  19. Thank you all, very helpful.
  20. You could also join the nct - local reps organise coffee mornings and meet ups for new mums with babies of the same age. That's how I met some local mums. My children are a bit older now though.
  21. Hi, i would go for salopettes combined with your kids' winter jackets. For salopettes I would try H&M (Swedish brand - they do ski gear for kids - ?20 for salopettes and if you buy a size too big they can have them next year too!) or maybe Try Decathlon in Surrey Keyes. i think waterproofs (even though they of course would wear stuff underneath) would get a bit cold. A good pair of mittens to keep wetness and cold away is a must too!
  22. We had to stop our car when driving on lordship lane by the south circular as so many of them were going past on both sides of the car, weaving in and out in front of us. Quite a few went up the pavement. Many also going in the opposite lane meeting traffic head on. An accident could have easily happened.
  23. Monkey blanket / cuddely toy - can be found on a garden wall on Crystal Palace Road, close to Heber school. (think around no 289)
