I would also really recommend Vinton. He redecorated a room for us this week and it looks great. He is reliable and straight-forward to deal with. Completed work to high standard at a reasonable price.

Hi, just to add, Dave just finished our decking. He was really helpful and straightforward to deal with. Let me know exactly when he could come, and stuck to all the appointments. The work itself was done well, quickly and with no fuss. Wouldnt hestitate to use him again. Bea

Hi - just wanted to recommend Paul, who's name I got on this forum a couple of weeks back. He was very helpful and friendly and did a great job working out the cause of three leaks and fixing them. His number is 07843877284. Bea

Hi - water was on yesterday, but the gates were locked!! Didn't stop us and everyone climbing over though!

Which hospital were you in? In St thomas's with a bit of pressure they were pretty good at teaching me to cup feed my premautre boy. They also use a technique where you tape a thin plastic tube to your finger and dip one end in to the milk. I found it very fiddly, and near impossible when sleep deprived. I found the cup easier, though also exhausting.

Hi, My boy will be starting at the villa in a couple of weeks when he turns two (he'll be doing Weds-Fri) and I'm keen to find some other parents with kids already there or soon to start who might be interested in getting together. Also very nervous about the settling in, sure he will be fine, just not sure about me!

Hi I have an unused grobag blind if any one wants it. The person buying before got one given to her at the last minute.

Just to add I have recently been offered a place at the one in Sainsburys car park for starting this autumn despite not being on the waiting list. My friend at the same experience there and at asquiths in peckham rye. May be we were very lucky and it was all dependent on being flexible on days, but it seems it is sometimes possible to avoid the horror waiting list lengths.

If anyone wants a Grobag blind, I got one a couple of weeks back and only used once (it wasn't the light that was doing it for our little one). Cost about ?30 new I think happy to part with it for ?20.

A really big thanks to all the wonderful toys and baby chairs donated for the refugee group. We drove the fullest car ever to Brixton yesterday, accompanied on the way by one toy singing, which was stuck under my foot! Thanks so much for all your generosity. The group doesn't start until 18th June, but the kids that were there were very excited to see all the stuff!

Oxleas wood is lovely, though there is a big road running near which you can hear at points. Eltham Palace is also lovely and very near so can be combined. You used to be able to get the train directly to Falcolnwood from Nunhead/Peckham and that's on the edge of the wood. Not sure if the route still runs, but may well do.
