You got off lightly. The kids fair on Goose Green this spring had me ?60 down in the same 1 hour or so duration. The ?8 Paw Patrol helium balloons (image rights prob unlicensed) were beautifully positioned for maximum cash extraction.

Well, I brought the tiny terror a calippo from the ice cream van. She spent about 15 minutes sucking the life out of it, before fastidiously draining the melted remnants of luminous goodness into her little gob. So while that may have cost ?3, in reality it saved me around a tenner.


The other top tip is the large inflatable slide thing, which the kids seem to stay on for as long as they like.

    • Yes.  It happens to a neighbour who has a van parked off Sydenham Hill quite a lot. It's because the fuel lines are easier to get to than cars.
    • I like the idea of a lido, provided it's accessible to all. I haven't been for a while now.   Do you have to book Brockwell lido in advance and or have they gone back to just queuing  to enter?  Are you able to stay for as long as you wish or are there time slots.  Do teenagers  have access to these spaces? I can't see them booking in advance and time restrains would  not work for them...particularly if its costly. The last time I went to the lido it seemed to lack the diversity that it once had.   
    • If you want to reduce the sound from your flat, you can add acoustic or sound absorbing material under your carpet. There are many options for different budgets (google sound reduction in upstairs flat) In terms of improving your relationship with your downstairs neighbour, a really good first action would be to stop labelling him as mentally ill and start to consider that he may be very stressed and grumpy after prolonged noisy upstairs neighbours who don't take any notice of his complaints. There's always two sides to one story, but this is completely solvable
