minder

They have 3 doses given via injection (over around 6 months I think) which creates a bit of upset amongst the girls themselves but I gave my permission. My youngest (now nearly 17) came over very faint as she was last in the queue for her injection and I got a call from a nurse on call to tell me about it so it's all really supervised. My 19 year old has also had the HPV and anything that can help prevent any kind of cancer for future generations I go with. I remember Jade Goody was in my thoughts when I had any doubts about the HPV.

Under 18s should receive free dental treatment. I went with my 16 year old for a check up in the summer holidays and she had a quick clean and I paid nothing. She's had braces and I would have been shocked to ever been charged ?50.

I've seen the signs for the past few weeks and people still driving down then trying to do a three point turnaround when realising they've been caught on CCTV. Lambeth should put some sort of barrier to prevent entry into the road. Just another money making scheme for them but residents are angry. There was a great letter in last Friday's SLP from a resident who explained how it was affecting the area.

Very interesting! I just went with the flow when my three children were due to start reception. There was nothing in the news about delaying school or whatever. All three went to the local school nursery at 3 and then on to reception class. They've all gone on to do well in their GCSE's/A levels, with my summer born child getting the best results out of the lot so you never know! Interesting full page article in the Daily Mail yesterday interviewing two mums about their summer born children.

I don't think 9 babies under age of one is a lot for a nursery to accommodate if they have the room but as an Early Years provider (other than a childminder who can only care for 2 under 2's at any one time) they would need to have at least one member of staff for every 3 babies. If they did have only one member of staff looking after 3 babies then the staff member would have to hold a full and relevant level 3 qualification.

WrightC, have you spoken to your postman/woman? Realise that might not be possible if you're out etc. but just a thought?

Sounds good, although a lot of the grammar on their website leaves a lot to be desired but that's nothing in the scheme of things.

Just seen this tonight but didn't laugh out loud, but the opposite. What a terrible picture to put on a forum.

How about a castle/fort with lots of horses and knights? Someone is selling one on here but it might have gone. I've still got a great one which my son played with for ages and I get it out for the children I look after when they get to a certain age. If your son enjoys Thomas maybe buy a couple of Thomas magazines with the activities to try and there's always a freebie on the front which keeps them occupied for a while. If not try another magazine which his grandmother could look at with him. There's always stickers and free crayons on the magazines which encourage mark making/colouring in. You'll be surprised at what children enjoy with different people. If he likes Ninja turtles, I wouldn't worry too much. My son loved them too and Power Rangers and Action Man (still have the Action Man advert song in my mind) "Action Man the greatest hero of them all". He was a little bit older than your son if I remember but he's 22 now and doesn't remember much of it. Playing with water is always a hit, even if it's a bowl in the kitchen sink and washing up. Stickle bricks and lego are good too.

Just checked on Mr/Mrs Frog and still here! Local vets very helpful tonight but not sure about care of frogs so will phone Marsden tomorrow. Phoned Marsden this morning as frog was still there up until I went out around 11am but just realised they're not open Fridays. Anyway frog had gone when I got back this afternoon. Probably enjoying the rain!

Didn't know about this Ladysaw, but yes let's hope they get through it.

So glad you're uncle has been found safe and well!

OK thanks will do.

I get frogs in my garden now and again but this one appeared yesterday in my fairy garden. I thought it was just basking in the water and then it hopped away last night. It's appeared again today but I think it must be ill as it's got some spots on it's leg which look like ulcers. I've been keeping it covered with water but don't know what else to do. It hops about now and again but has been still for around 4 hours now. It's about 7cm long. Anyone know what I should do or is it just what frogs do?

Godstone Farm isn't far out of London and has everything for young toddlers/children.

I pm'd you.

Lanes

I've always wondered what the DMC was too but it seems they've had their own midwifery service connected to it? Is it a doctors surgery? What is the Lanes? Sorry sillywoman but hope you can update us?

My girls both had their ears pierced at Claire's Accessories in Lewisham some years ago and it was fine. They chose a stud earring, their ear was wiped with an antiseptic wipe and then the stud was attached to the gun machine which looked scary but it was over within a couple of seconds. You get a bottle of after-care stuff to clean the ears for some weeks after and they've been fine.

ooops! This will prob be moved to The Lounge

Who knows why she was there? Maybe the row of shops know or maybe it was something to do with the North Dulwich and Denmark Hill parking zone consultation? When this comes into effect in Winter 2015-16 Dulwich Village will be the next parking area for the local hospitals, schools, train stations. I'm sure they have all that now but it will get 10 times worse! Southwark didn't consult with Lambeth when Lambeth brought in the CPZ on Denmark Hill across Ruskin Park a few years ago. It's created a knock on effect for everybody in Denmark Hill/North Dulwich but will now go further into the village and beyond.
