My kids have been back to holiday champs this week after attending over the summer, and they totally love it. Aaron is a lovely guy and has a massive list of games to keep everyone busy. There are spaces available on Thursday and Friday this week if your kids fancy a change. It's also great value: DAY PASS - 09:00 - 15:30 - ?25 DAY PASS WITH EARLY DROP OFF - 08:00 - 15:30 - ?30 DAY PASS WITH LATE COLLECTION - 09:00 - 17:30 - ?35 DAY PASS WITH EARLY DROP OFF AND LATE COLLECTION - 08:00 - 17:30 - ?40 Email Megan on info@holidaychamps.co.uk

It's my son's last day at Bellenden School nursery today and I just wanted to recommend it to others. The timings won't work for everyone as it's school hours and term-time only, but the nursery takes children from the day of their 3rd birthday using the 15 or 30 hours free childcare. It's a brand new building and the staff are lovely. My son has spent lots of time with the reception children 'getting ready for school'. http://bellenden.southwark.sch.uk/

we're having a party at the fabulous Southwark Bowls club next Saturday 21st and need someone to man the mp3 decks so that our friends can play 3 tunes each. It's a pretty easy gig and should be really fun. PM me if you're up for it or want to know more!

Hi Otta - I'm interested in buying your cocoon if bjh doesn't want it!

I have been meaning to post something on here for ages to say that I joined a Choir shortly after having my daughter last year and it was such huge support to me. It was great to have an hour and a half each week where nobody was talking about babies and I could concentrate on something completely different. I could practise whilst changing nappies etc and the occasional concert provided an opportunity to get a bit nervous/excited. If you are a new mum and have someone who can babysit, I would really recommend joining a choir (or something something similar!). The one I joined was the Nunhead Community choir. If you're interested in joining then we're doing mainly Christmas songs for the next few weeks I think. Details here: http://nunheadchoir.wordpress.com/

What a balanced response, thanks both :)

I'm considering locking my bike up in the racks at Peckham Rye rail station whilst at work during the day. Anyone got any experience of whether it's fairly secure? Thanks.
