Hello! I am a nanny looking for a new role - ideally three days a week but open to four days. Available from March 2025 onwards. I have been a nanny for 20 years and have lots of experience looking after little ones aged from newborn to twelve years old. I have a childcare qualification, paediatric first aid training and I am dbs checked. Looking forward to finding a new family to work with and having lots of adventures with the little ones. Please do get in touch if you would like to discuss. Kind regards Lisa

Oh my @malumbu you have excelled yourself on that one. Wonderful, just wonderful - can we get that framed please? The most obvious answer (beyond the one where I point out I used to live on a road off Underhill - which I refrained from doing when you tried to claim you knew Underhill better than me) is that at least I live in the same town/borough as the road in question....ahem.....;-) You may not see the irony in my post as I suspect you didn't see the irony in your own post!

Pot and kettle moment here 🤣

So authentic Cantonese food… are they open every week day and where please.

Anybody got any spare plasterboard? I just need about 2 square feet/60x60cm If so, please message 07972 368 261 Thanks

I'm struggling to see the predictions of gridlock on Underhill. Its a means to get to East Dulwich, Camberwell, Herne Hill and the like. I'm not sure why on a normal day it is, or will be seen, as a serious rat run. You go on about congestion during rush hour in the Village, this is caused, and has always been caused for the majority of times, by the school run. Now if you campaigned to discourage parents driving their kids to school, that would be something that I would agree with. @Rockets I expect this proposal has virtually no impact on you. As it has little on me. Do you need to fight other peoples' battles?

They are council housing, last I read somewhere something to do with asbestos that was not found in original inspections but yes they have been sitting empty for a while now, such a shame as so many on the housing list waiting for new homes.

They allow 10 people per lane, so if someone books a fast lane, but they are a slow swimmer, and they go in slow lane, that means there are likely more than 10 in that lane. They are quite clear on the booking part about swim speeds.

Hello Wisteria does need pruning twice a year & this is the first month it needs doing. The whips need pruning back to the third bud from the main stem & probably a few main stems need pruning. It needs feeding to prune . I have been a gardener for 23 years & can do this for you Give me a call or message me here Nigel 07759862191or WhatsApp me 07961888253

Just had the soup dumplings for lunch - genuinely amazing and I really hope they survive. Cooked by the young guy's aunty. He hinted that things are tough and acknowledged the slight marketing confusion. Quality not in doubt

Just had lunch at Sweet Dreams/Aroma Coffee, the place with the slight identity crisis on Upland Road. I had the dumpling soup and it was SO good. Simple, balanced, just great (you can have double dumplings or dumplings plus noodles). Cooked by the young guy's aunty. It was clear they're struggling a bit, and it's clear they need some marketing support, but the quality of the food certainly ain't in doubt

It was "pretend" as opposed to the "real" estate services you criticised in your first post! I thought it was funny too. It's just a play on words.

@OutOfFocus I am not sure at what point you thought the joke is funny. Unless you're an estate agent yourself and took it personally...

Brockley Beckham or whatever his name is. Can there be another valid reason he’s all over the BBC?

You can park for free for 30 mins in Melbourne Grove round corner and Grove Vale. It's a bit of a pain because you still have to register by phone as if paying but it's a lot closer to M&S. Or you could always go to M&S on Lordship Lane, parking for a short time is fairly easy around there.

Hi, I am looking to hire an afterschool nanny for my children (a nearly 5 year old and 6 year old) for them to continue to build on their language skills. (both have learnt the very basics i.e numbers alphabet colours and some animals in Spanish , French and Mandarin (but they have since changed schools and I want them to continue learning) Our home is a 5-10 minute walk/scoot from the school so they would just need collecting and walking home 2-3 days a week given food/snacks and then entertained for 2 hours playing games, reading and discussing in either of the languages. This is the bare minimum, if more hours are required there are lots of other housekeeping tasks that could be added so more hours and covered in the week. Would love to have someone hired by March DBS check will be required Please DM me :)

Thanks Vik.

Yep, it's a 2 hour stay, pretty sure it's less on match days but double check the signage as they do record your reg on entry and exit.
