Home urgently needed for single mum with 10 month old baby

Hi,


I'm in a bit of a fix and looking for somewhere for me (44 year old woman) and my 10 month old daughter to live asap. I have just come back from Spain in an emergency situation. I was brought up in East Dulwich and went to Alleyn's on an Assisted Place many moons ago. I need to live in this area for the short-term at least. I'm lacking in the sort of cash needed for rental in this area these days and would ideally like some kind of house-sit, low rent, lodger set-up. I'm extremely reliable and house-trained, and am open to many different sorts of scenarios and time-frames. I could take care of animals and a garden if that were a part of the deal...and I can offer a holiday-stay in a 3 bedroom villa about 30 minutes from Granada in Southern Spain, but alas cannot stay there myself right now. I can explain everything and back up all that I say. I'm extremely reliable and trustworthy, house-proud, and very much in need of a helping hand right now. Thanks, Carolina (Carina, to my friends)

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
