Morning to all of you.... If you are thinking of heading up or down Avondale Rise you may encounter a few problems, the ice is really bad this morning and there are a few buses stuck on the road..Please use an alternate route if you can.. Goodluck if you are out on the roads.

Hi There I've just been reading your post on the Forum about Potty training your 2 1/2 year old daughter, and thought I should write & tell you about our little boy, we started when he was about 2 1/2 but after loads of frustrating attempts, constant change of pants, clothes etc we felt the time was obviously just not right...we didn't think we would ever get him potty trained until the warmer weather came when he could run around with no trousers on etc and let him sit on the potty during the day whilst watching tv or playing games etc, my advice to you is first and foremost please don't stress about when she's potty trained as they will let you know when the time is right - every child is different (some fully potty trained at 2 and some at 3 or even 4)and I know as a first time mother you feel you have constant milestones to reach in their development....., my little boy who's now 3 lets me know when he want's to go to the toilet and is completely dry by day & night which is great but I'm sure we will get the occasional accident (but only to be expected)and never read any child/toddler books..PLEASE DO NOT READ ANY BOOKS AS EVERY CHILD IS DIFFERENT AND YOUR CHILD WILL LET YOU KNOW WHEN HE/SHE IS READY OR YOU CAN DO IS TRY AT DIFFERENT TIMES - THEY REALLY ARE A WASTE OF MONEY!!!!!. Another suggestion would be every time you go to the toilet, ask them if they need to go and sit them on it - if nothing happens don't worry..rest assure you will get there and so will your little girl. I hope it helps. Best wishes & Goodluck

STRANGE!!!....we had the same thing happen last night..it was about 11pm ish, he knocked on the door followed by a knocking on the window (which woke our little one) said he was new to the area (couple of doors down) his car had been parked on double red, had his keys & wallet in glove compartment of the car & needed to get his car from the pound - did we have ?10???. Thought it seemed odd as we know our neighbours & we definately didn't recognise or know him....

A little bit off topic, but where exactly is the Peckham Dump? In regards to recycling I think the stick is unfortunatly necessary as although 92% of the UK population have access to road recycling schemes only about 20% recycle.

Does anyone know why there have been armed police on choumert road since Friday. Apparently they are guarding someone but it all sounds a bit odd and not to keen on having armed police on our road. does anyone know any more info?
