The pool is re-opening on 25th May, I think. At least we were contacted to say that my daughter's swimming lessons would resume that week.


I think they will open the swim school for general booking once they have contacted everyone who was taking part in lessons before the pool closure.


Hope that helps.


(The hydro pool really is so lovely for babies, and hopefully the accessible changing area is a bit nicer now too - I hope that they will be stricter with buggies in the changing rooms as it can get really filthy when people take them in..)

I'm clearly going to come across as v irritating but, the accessible changing rooms are intended for people with disabilities as I understand it not families. I have to bring my "buggy" in because my nearly 3 year old is unable to walk or stand by himself and I need to be able to pop him safely in his buggy rather than on the wet floor while I get changed after hydrotherapy (he could and would fall off the benches if I left him on them without holding him).


We occasionally end up missing out on the begining of hydrotherapy as parents with young children are using the rooms which are clearly marked as for the use of those with disabilities. And before anyone asks, no having a typically developing younger child is not in any way the same as having a disabled nearly 3 year old.


Recently my lovely nanny had a very unfortunate encouter with one of the staff in Dulwich who wouldn't let her bring the buggy into the changing room. It is unclear to me what we are expected to do, either leave him on a bench where he will fall and hurt himself or leave him on the floor where he will get wet.

      Day One Hairdresser

      By Azalea · Posted

      Re Day One, £52 for a short hair cut (cut & styling) and £72 for a long hair cut (cut & styling) which I believe is below the ears.  £38 for a blow dry which doesn’t appear to be included in the cut price as it’s not mentioned.  £15 for a fringe tidy.      I remember being startled to be charged separately for a blow dry by the salon that used to be in Melbourne Grove but is now closed down.  I was asked if I wanted a blow dry after the cut and highlights and said yes, but wasn’t told that I would be charged separately.  Only found out when I went to pay the bill.    Was offered a voucher on a further appointment.    De.Salon which used to be Cut-Throat in Peckham (Choumert Rd and Brixton) charge from £45 for a Short haircut that finishes by the ears.  They charge from £40 for any haircut that finishes below the jawline.  Their prices include a blow dry.  But if you have thick hair they charge an extra £15 for every additional 15 minutes for cutting.     I had my hair cut there before the name change.  I don’t understand the from part of the price. Had a look at the Blue Tit pricing which is very complicated. They charge depending on the stylist’s  experience.  Crab Salad in Peckham  -  short hair cut above the ear - from £69.    Long hair Cut below the ear from £80. Blow dry not mentioned as being included in the cut but is priced at £55 I noticed that Kuki charge different prices for men and women.  Doesn’t seem right if a woman has short hair and a man has long hair.   I used to go to a great salon in NW London  that charged the same price for men and women and stopped going when they upped their prices for women.

      BIAB is supposed to be less damaging to the nails than Shellac. It stands for Builder in a Bottle.

      Advice on presenting a property for sale, please

      By tllm2 · Posted

      We're are just about to get ready for sale, a 2 bed flat, very close to Peckham Rye park.  It has been rented out for sometime, so is in need of some TLC for it to look its best, before it goes on the market.  Would be interested to know others thoughts on whether its best to just have the place painted completely white throughout, probably with new grey flooring, or if it might be more appealing to add some colour/interest (nothing too drastic), perhaps something alittle 'warmer', with some nice (potentially dark) feature walls maybe? Wondered whether the days of going completely white might now have passed ..... It might be useful to know that its not a period or conversion property, but rather a flat in a private purpose built block.
