I posted a thread last week about Streetbank - a new website dedicated to helping communities lend, borrow and give away things and skills to their neighbours - and there's been a really encouraging response from people who've had a look at the site and signed up. The latest person to sign up has a 1 and 3 year old daughter - and has recently posted clothes to give away to a good home.


Really hope we get more and more members as word gets round...takes 3 minutes to sign on and who knows where it might lead...free stuff, more work/business opportunities - less waste - perhaps you'll even make a new friend or two in the process.... www.streetbank.com

I just wanted to give an update on Streetbank.com which is now really starting to take off in East Dulwich.


We've recently seen sombrero hats and piano's being lent and given away (in that order) and there have also been some very happy tales of new friendships forming as a result, too.


The more people who join, the better the site becomes so do please spread the word if you can. It's so easy to join and is a great way to bring communities together - as well as save money and energy too, of course.


Facebook, twitter and LinkedIn status updates for those who've joined seem to work really well. With each new member, the site becomes a little more useful and much more fun, too.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
