We don't have a house number outside our house at the moment and my husband likes the way some house have it painted/stencilled on in black on the wall near the door of the house. Is there someone local who can do this, or is it something you would do yourself with a stencil?


Thanks so much!

I'd be inclined to use a professional sign writer- mainly because my attempt to stencil (basic) numerals on our bins was a disaster! Quick google search throws up:

There must be lots more around- perhaps you could knock on a house with a painted number and ask who they used.

Hello,


This isn't what you asked for but it could be a much cheaper option....


I bought my house number from ebay a few years ago. It was seriously cheap (about ?10) and although it's about 5 years old now there isn't a mark on it (i.e. not weathered at all) and I still think it looks super-stylish. Also, it stands out so delivery people etc can easily find the house number. I don't have the name of the ebay seller but it is similar to these

When I first bought it I thought "this is too cheap it must be rubbish"; but 5 years on and I'm still happy with it.


If you want to see mine then PM me and I'll send you my address so you can't check it out.

    • And no queues at 1130 yesterday. Maybe everyone's had enough and switched to the Yodel and Evri app.
    • Hi there guys, I hope you're well.  I've recently done a term of Dance Yourself Fit, which began with a class at the Harris Girls Academy on the Nunhead side of the Rye, then transferred to the Charter School for Girls up by the old ED hospital. It's been so good and all the women attending have loved it too, but due to exams being on next term the classes are being discontinued in East Dulwich, much to our disappointment. They're moving them to Streatham, but that is not convenient for me and many of the others. This is a link to their site in case anyone is interested though: https://www.danceyourselffit.com I'm now looking for a replacement class that's not too expensive, keeps me moving energetically for an hour and is local and hopefully less than a tenner per lesson (this was about £72 for 8 classes I think?). Does anyone know of anything? I'm also looking for low-cost pilates classes to join too, if anyone has any recommendations for those too? Very best,  Eleanor  Also, just to add, what's been so nice is that it HASN'T been in a gym with lots of lively young lithe gazelle like creatures hopping about. It's been extremely inclusive for women of all sizes and shapes and really nice that it's been in schools not gyms. Anyway, keeping my fingers crossed!
    • I'd also like to highly recommend Niko. He just replaced the extraction fan in our bathroom, having previously installed a new tap for us. Fast, professional and a really great guy. 
    • Agree with this. He's stood down from his role in Cabinet having left the Party, but he was elected as a representative of all the constituents in his ward and logic suggests that he should continue to represent them as a councillor for his remaining 3 months. He might wish to stand again, as a Green, in that ward (if he's chosen) and hope that personal loyalty to him might transfer, but that's now the call of his (new) party and him. He will have to balance that with a view about how many of his Labour supporters will feel sufficiently betrayed to continue to support Labour. I suspect, I may be wrong, that he will not have a cabinet position open to him after May (unless the Greens sweep in locally) so presumably he will have to consider his next career move, and whether that's back to full-time primary teaching.
