Hi there, I just wanted to recommend the lovely Jack to anyone experiencing issues with plaster and/or damp. I had re-occuring damp downstairs and some eye watering quotes from the usual surveyors in the thousands (and which involved removing tiles from the downstairs toilet etc.) Jack instead suggested opting for a French drain as the paving stones outside were build up too high. His team were efficient and tidy and completed the job in a day. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend... Anna

Hi there, just to let you know a Facebook group called Spring babies 2020 has been set up there so you can also find most of the group on there x

Hey Zoe, Yes of course - just pm your number on here and I?ll add you. Thanks x

Hey there, The Whatapp group has now been set up with those of you who shared their numbers with me. If you'd like to join please let someone on this thread know and we can add you :) Speak soon, Anna x

Okay great. I?m happy to set one up - if you private message me your numbers and I will get onto it x

Brilliant! Shall we use this thread for the time being - or we could set up a Whats app group?

Hi there, Just wondering if a spring babies 2020 group has been set up yet? I?m expecting my second baby in April 2020 and would be up for meeting other mums in the new year... Anna

Hi Julie, Are you expecting your baby in April 2020? I am too - my second as well. I was just checking the ED forum to see if they?ve set up a spring babies group for 2020 yet but doesn?t look like it. Perhaps we can get the ball rolling... I would be up for a meet up/coffee at some point. Anna

Hi all, Just a quick post to recommend Elly Allen for curtains and blinds - she just did a great job for us on a pair of large curtains for our dining room and a single curtain for a side door (including fitting a slim curtain pole). She is really good to work with and got things done on time. Hope this is helpful for anyone out there looking for curtains etc. Anna

The same thing happened to me. I was putting my child to be and the man got really aggressive and said 'I know where to come and burgle first'. I said I wasn't interested and he kicked our front gate in. The police came but we're not going to be opening the door to them in future.

Hi all, We have some interior walls that need reinstating and taking down in various places in our house (all fairly straight forward) but are struggling to find anyone who will do it. I think it's too small a job for some and too large for others... Any recommendations of trusted local builders who might take on this kind of thing... Thanks in advance, Anna

Another recommendation for Paul. We hired him for a job in the run up to Christmas which he squeezed us in for and worked all day until the job was finished. Good man with great attention to detail - wouldn't hesitate to recommend. catfordfella Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Echoing the very positive experience of employing > Paul the tiler.

Thanks Donatella :) Look forward to meeting those of you who can make it on the 20th then! A x

Hi all, Great idea Donatella! I'm not sure about the September date yet but am free on the 20th August - will be lovely to meet you all then. Claudine - I'm sure it's fine to miss one of the NCT classes (I've heard that they can send notes on for anything important that you miss) and I expect a lot of time during the first one be taken up with introductions... Anna x

This is a second recommendation for Helen and Steve at Gardenia Gardens. They have just finished re-doing our garden in East Dulwich for which they took up the decking and created a lawn space with steps and raised beds/tree boxes. We're really happy with the result. A very professional and reliable team - feel free to get in touch for pics etc.
