Hi bit of a weird one which is why I?ve put it here rather than in residential as it?s not a straight forward arrangement that we are looking for.

We were residents in Dulwich(Overhill road)for 17years but recently moved away from London.

My husband still works in London and commutes home but he works In theatre so dosent finish work until 10.30pm. Every night he gets home no problem at all except for a Saturday night where the last train is 9.45 at the moment!

They are doing works on the line overnight on a Saturday so the last train is over 2 hours earlier than every other night of the week.

So far since moving he has stayed at our old neighbours House which had been brilliant but she is expecting her first baby soon so the spare room will be needed for the baby. So this arrangement has to come to an end.

Does anyone have a spare room that they would be interested in renting out for 1 night a week on an ad hoc basis.

He usually arrives around midnight and is gone by 9.30am on the Sunday morning. This is why other soloutions don?t really work for him hotels in London are too expensive to do that often, air bnb usually requires a 2 night minimum

Stay and the same with theatre digs houses. Also another problem is he dosent get back till so late which is why the neighbours house was ideal as he had a spare key to let himself in and out so they didn?t have to wait up for him to arrive and he would feed the cat if he was staying while they were away etc.

He usually knows a week or 2 in advance if he needs to stay in London and it roughly works out at about twice a month. If anyone has a room and would like to talk more about this then please send me a private message. obviously if you have fiends or family staying and the room isn?t available for a weekend that he needs to stay in London then we can sort something else for those weekends but would be good to have an arrangement in place for most of the time. He can bring his own sleeping ba/pillowcase and towel or can even shower once he gets to work if need be. If anyone has a room that is lying empty and thinks this would be a good way for a little bit of extra cash please send me a private message.

    • My understanding is the "free event" is 100% Gala, nothing to do with the council. Obviously Gala will still make money from the food & drink that they are trying to coerce punters into buying on their social media posts. Their costs will be negligible due to already having the infrastructure in place for Gala. So Gala are trying to appear community minded by providing this "free event", but the real goal is to set a precedent for a fourth day's festival - which surely no one could possibly object to?!? - in preparation for applying (again) for two three-day festivals spread over two weekends. It's only another two days, right, and the site & equipment is already there, so why would anyone object?!? More money for the council, much more money for Gala, win-win right? But yet another week of our park taken away from us, too, and another 18,000 people trampling & littering the park, and another week of disturbance for the native birds & wildlife...
    • Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?
    • Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.          
    • If you don't use the car often then suggest disconnect the battery between use by undoing the earth (negative / minus sign) cable from the battery and the battery will then last longer between use. Remember, central locking, alarm, clock, etc won't work with battery disconnected and wit ours I have to lock the doors with central locking before disconnecting battery as only have key on one door (leave bonnet open before locking doors). Hope this helps
