Hi neighbours,

I really love wrapping gifts (and I'm good at it) but I don't do any gift exchanges myself, so I don't get to wrap things any more.

I thought I would take a punt on offering gift wrapping around ED/Peckham/Nunhead instead, donating any money raised to Shelter.

How it would work:

- I'll come to you (as long as you're within aprx 1 mile walk of Clock House pub, SE22 9QA) - I'm free most times up to/including the 24th

- You set out the gifts and wrapping materials, and I'll get to work (if necessary I have a small amount of paper/materials I could bring, but I'm limited in what I can carry as will be on foot)

- You give me a donation which I'll pass on in full to Shelter, or you can donate it directly yourself - 1-2 pounds per gift is probably a useful baseline to work with but of course keep it within your means. No judgment!

About me:

- 34/f

- Lived in ED for 12 years

- My real job is research manager for a London-focused not for profit - off until the new year!

- My fav local shop is Pearspring and local restaurant probably Mr Bao

Anyway, if this sounds useful to you, call/text/whatsapp me: zero seven nine two eight zero eight eight five six four

Merry xmas/happy new year,

Amanda

  Missing Cat! 11 months old/ Our friend, Coco, has gone missing. Last seen evening of 31st October near top of Henslowe rd where it meets Underhill Rd in SE22. We know she has started wandering up Friern Rd and further we guess but we imagine she has been spooked by Halloween / Fireworks goings on. She is a grey Siberian mix with some brown stripes down her, very friendly and likes to eat. Please let us know

  That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones. It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring

  The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.

  Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end!
