My daughter, who's about to turn 16, is available for babysitting. She's looked after lots of cousins and her baby sister, who's two. She's a great cook (and baker), can help with homework, crafts, games. As she's starting out, she's charging £7.50 an hour. Based in Forest Hill, but happy to travel and knows her way around. So if you want help at teatime or a night out, message me.

My outside drain was overflowing and no amount of prodding with a stick was unblocking it. So I called Don the Drain (yes, that is his real name) and he sorted the problem quickly at a very reasonable price https://www.donthedrain.co.uk/

Thanks to everyone who recommended James the electrician - he fitted my small job in quickly (changing some bathroom downlights) and then didn't mind when I asked about loads of other little things. Great job and a great price. If anyone is in need of a good electrician, here's his number: 07816 160353

I emailed St Barnabas, thanks to Milan05 for suggesting that! They said they could forward the photo to the couple.

Thank you so much - I?m going to try all of those!

I was walking through the village yesterday (around 3.30pm, Sat 30th) and a bride and groom came out of the bit near the gallery in a tuktuk. This is really random, but my friend took a pic on his phone and when we looked at it last night we realised it was so beautiful and happy. Would love to get it to the couple. The bride had long, brown hair and the groom was in a military uniform. I know it?s a long shot, but if you know them give me a shout!

I have two childrens' beds to give away, a bit scratched but with lots of life in them. Anywhere taking donations? I can deliver

Another recommendation for Paul. He replied quickly with a quote which was very reasonable - and then came round within a few hours to safely take everything away. I?ve got my garden back thanks to Paul.

Steve came round to fix my washing machine last week when it conked out just as I was putting my holiday wash on. He's quick, friendly, reliable and reasonably priced. Highly recommended!

Does anyone know what time the curfew is? I really want to take my kids to see Kelis, but wondering if it's too late for them. Yes, I realise this is the most annoying post on this thread!

I called Dave because my boiler was leaking - he was there within an hour and fixed it, as well as finally getting the heating going (that had never worked) in my loft conversion. Really pleased!
