So, we exchanged contracts yesterday and are ready to move to Penge ;) The plan is to move end of May so really interested in making connections with families in the area. My daughter is 3.5 and my son is 1. I think the change might be a bit hard for my daughter so if she could make new friends in Penge that would be great. Also, it seems impossible to find nursery places in the area. Would anybody have any tip? We will carry on commuting to ED for the time being but ideally a nursery in Penge/Beckenham would be better. House prices seem to have gone up again in the past few weeks. When will it stop!!??

Congratulations Julie W! We completed on our house yesterday! We're going to be rennovating it over the next few months, so still based in West London until the summer, but will be visiting lots, so PM me and perhaps we could meet before we move in. My daughter and son are exactly the same age as yours (my son turns 1 next week!). We went to the playground in Cator Park yesterday and there were lots of mums with children of a similar age who had lots of suggestions for local groups. I think there are lots of people with children the same age in the area, which is great for friends / community, but definitely impacts on the old nursery places! I've just left a message for Cator Park Montessori, which is our nearest. I'm really hoping that the Alexandra Primary catchment doesn't shrink too far!


Shoe.Lane - did you get your house near Winsford Gardnes?

We did! Moved in yesterday. Have a feeling we'll be surrounded by boxes for quite some time hence but delighted with all the space. My oldest is 3 1/2 and she'll be at cator park Montessori in September. Youngest is 16 months. Would be lovely to meet up when you're ready!

Great news lizzichu!! We are moving on May 22nd. My son turned 1 last Thursday :)

Shoe.lane did you know if Cator Park Montessori has any availability?

We are competing on May 8th so will be coming over to do some decorating before the 22nd. Maybe we could meet, even for a very short time so our children can meet?

I will PM you both and see if we can organise something! Good news all around!!!

      Inpost "Parcel was refused" at Barry's - anyone else?

      By fishboy · Posted

      I called InPost when I saw the first parcel had been refused twice, they said it was because the shop didn't have capacity / space. I went to the shop and they basically said that was BS, that they had plenty of space and showed me the parcels from that day's InPost delivery - they even went through all the parcels to see if mine was there. I called them again a couple of days later after the tracking showed the first parcel had been refused twice more, and two others had also been refused. They said they'd investigate and would send me an email (nope) and to contact Vinted. I called them again today after further refusals, again they said they'd investigate and for me to contact Vinted - they seemed to intimate that they could only do something if Vinted contacted them, despite me trying to explain that it is impossible to contact anyone at Vinted, let alone get them to chase up parcels. Tbh I don't believe the tracking updates are based on actual events, it stinks of lost parcels that they just don't want to admit to, so just keep pretending they're trying to deliver them and update the tracking info. I can't think of any other reason this would happen. Although very odd if it is this, as all the parcels were sent from different places and at different times.

      It’s not NIMBYism to say I don’t want high-rises in ED ... it’s just not what the area is. Liking the character of where you live isn’t a crime.
