in case you're still looking .... we've just got a gorgeous Christmas tree from Half Moon Lane/bottom of Holmdene Ave SE24 - it was excellent value, beautiful shape, comes in a stand and they even delivered it to us with a smile. So impressed :) They're on the corner, outside the Bacchush wine shop.

hello,

Did you know that fruit and veg just aren't as nutritious as they were 20 years ago? Are you feeling under pressure to serve your family 5-a-day, let alone 7 or 10-a-day? Juice Plus is a highly effective, healthy way of getting all the benefits of 26 top quality fruit, veg and berries per day - my family have been taking it for the past 8 months and I'm just amazed at the improvements in our health and have seen similar changes in friends who are on it. It's classified as a wholefood (not a supplement) and has over 30 scientific research studies that prove the health benefits of taking it. It's a simple concept and best of all, kids can get their supply for free. If you're keen to improve your health and that of your family we'd love to invite you to a short presentation about health, wellness & Juice Plus and discuss how you can make a difference to your wellbeing. This is purely for information, knowing what exists will help you to make informed choices in the future. Wednesday 9th April, 8 - 9.30pm West Dulwich or Herne Hill No cost Please call me on 07963 046 456 or email [email protected]. I'll be delighted to answer any questions. If you're not free to join us this week then let me know, we'll be running another info evening soon. Thanks, Kristin Kristin Hayward 07963 046 456 Hypnotherapy . HypnoFertility .

Great to see that some of you are preparing for a hypnobirth, remember the techniques aren't only for birth but really useful elsewhere in life too, both for you and your partner. My autumn HypnoBirthing classes have started - they run over 2 Monday evenings (and some Wednesday evenings), cost ?159 per couple and include 3 mp3 downloads. Groups are limited to 3 (very occasionally 4)couples. I focus on the practical techniques, the classes are small and fun and, as a hypnotherapist, I'm able to ensure that you are using the hypnosis techniques correctly to benefit a maximum. There may also be a Saturday morning class (1 session) in Oct or Nov. If you would like to work in your home there is the option of hosting or even arranging your own group. We can of course also arrange a private course to suit your budget and availability. A shorter private course can be combined with an online course to reduce costs. Do call me on 07963 046 456 for more details, I'll be delighted to answer your questions.

Just been told by Talk Talk that we have to have a new service which means an aerial on the house and going into a new 18mth contract with them .... :( Need to find someone to fix our aerial and a new cable if we stay with them. I'd love to switch providers - do you have any advice, recommendations, tips on how best to get good broadband, tel line rental + anytime free landline calls and tv package (we don't need the full range of channels)? I need to make a decision today if possible so any help/advice most welcome. Please email me on [email protected]. Many thanks, Kristin 07963 046 456

thanks - no label, we had them made up but could contact Designer Guild or Fabric Warehouse to ask, good idea. I can imagine the cleaning may cost more than the curtains did end of line fabric!

Our curtains are covered in tiny mud specks after a very wet and muddy mountain biker stepped through the door .... aargh! Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced but good cleaning company to clean them, preferably at home but I could also take them somewhere. Any advice/tips most welcome. It won't brush off as the specks were too wet and have soaked into the material and there's too much for me to wash out. Thanks, Kristin

CONGRATULATIONS Rebecca, what fabulous news that Sam has arrived safely. I really hope the hypnobirthing helped, it was lovely to work with you and if you have time to call then I'd love to hear how it all went. Very best wishes, Kristin :)

how lovely to hear you talking about your new babies now ... and not long to go for those still due. Thanks again to those of you who came to my HypnoBirthing classes, it was great to work with you.

Hypnotherapy can be very effective to turn babies, it's amazing how they respond after a session, mothers often report a completely different type of movement as they try to turn. This can be combined with acupuncture for the best possible chance. I work in Herne Hill and am still available for appts next week so do give me a call if you'd like to find out more - 07963 046 456, www.kristinhayward.com. There's also an mp3 download you can listen to to start encouraging your baby to turn - http://www.positive-birth.com/turnbreechortransversebaby.htm. I'm a hypnotherapist and part of the new NESTLondon group of local midwives and therapists specialising in pregnancy and birth. Homeopathy and reflexology can also be very beneficial to turn babies so do think about these options too. www.nestlondon.co.uk. Warm wishes, Kristin :)

we're about to order sliding (not bi-fold) doors for our new conservatory - does anyone have a company they can recommend or not recommend. We've shortlisted to 'SKG London' and also '1st Folding Sliding Doors' (not the same as Folding Sliding Doors .... has anyone used them? Thanks for any advice!

our son schools online, www.interhigh.co.uk - great concept as he follows national curriculum, working towards IGCSE's. Only 2hrs school per day, real time classes and also class mates, lovely teachers and the whole school meet in Wales once per year. Happy to chat with anyone interested. I'd be interested in meeting other home school year 9 families - please email if you can help. There's also a home school group who meet at Dulwich Woods scout hut on Monday and Wednesday mornings with science, english, maths and I think perhaps history or geography (not sure if all these subjects run for all ages)

not read through everything but Evian water sprays are invaluable to keep you feeling fresh and also keep your mouth/throat moist when you're not thirsty. Also do take mp3 downloads from www.hypnobirthingdownloads.com to listen to for amazing relaxation and positive visualisation. If you're going in yet then listen to them as much as possible beforehand to create your positive birth. Let me know if you have any questions about relaxation,breathing, stress release or visualisation .... enjoy, enjoy:)

Thanks Zeban for suggesting I bring my daughter to Sloupe (www.sloupe.com) - she just loves her new haircut and loved being treated to a real salon experience (at kids price - I loved that) even more. It's such a great concept, hairdressing + coffee bar + art gallery and everyone so friendly. Def worth booking in for adults and kids!

just been telling Clara about esph on Lordship Lane who are great too and noticed your post. If you're interested in learning hypnobirthing techniques (relaxation, breathing, visualisation) then do give me a call. I run classes locally, private and group as well as offering an online course and mp3 downloads at www.hypnobirthingdownloads.com (possibly with 1 private session). Would be delighted to help you with these options. Enjoy your pregnancy:)

Have you looked at esph on lordship lane - they do various ante natal classes and checks http://www.esph.co.uk/our-services/pre-and-post-natal-exercise/pre-post-natal-exercise-introduction.html I'd also be delighted to teach you hypnobirthing techniques to relax and feel prepared for birth using breathing, visualisation and relaxation techniques. If you're not wanting to take classes there's also an online course and mp3s you can listen to (can be combined with 1 private session if required) - www.hypnobirthingdownloads.com. Enjoy your last few weeks:)

can you recommend a hairdresser for my daughter, preferably someone who might have space tonight or tomorrow eve. Last minute change of plan before her school journey!! Thanks:)

..... if anyone is really stuck for secondary schools then do have a look at InterHigh - an online school with real teachers and classmates, lessons given in real time. It's a fab concept and my son loves it. There are kids from all over the world and in the UK and they follow the UK curriculum, taking IGCSE's in Yr11 and then on to A levels. It's a great alternative to mainstream, structured day/subjects so not as loose as homeschooling but with plenty of freedom as there is no time wasted going to/fro from lessons, disruptions, breaks etc etc. Happy to tell you more, contact me if you're interested. Kristin :)

I'm running another free introduction to HypnoBirthing on Wed 27th April in Clapham (Abbeville Road), 7 - 8pm. Come along to find out how hypnobirthing works and how you can use the techniques to create a positive birth experience. Bring your friends, bring your questions and enjoy a short guided visualisation if you'd like to experience the wonderful, deep relaxation hypnobirthing techniques can give you. For more info or to book your free place please email [email protected] or call me on 07963 046 456. Looking forward to hearing from you, feel free to call even if you can't come along next week, Kristin :) Kristin Hayward HypnoTherapy . HypnoFertility . HypnoBirthing 07963 046 456 www.kristinhayward.com

If you're worried NCT will be too late then you could think about joining Sofie Jacobs' fab antenatal classes that she runs at the Mag on Thurs evenings. Then you'd at least have the practical info and also meet local parents a bit earlier on. On another note, may I recommend a free pregnancy relaxaton mp3 from www.hypnobirthingdownloads.com and if you're interested in Hypnobirthing I'll be delighted to tell you about it. ... And Monkey is right, you can absolutely have an amazing pregnancy and birth, with lots of local friends with or without classes so just enjoy each day of this incredible journey you and your baby are on!

it's not going to reduce what you're fitting into the day but listening to mp3 downloads when you go to bed (just go to sleep while they play) can really make a difference to your energy levels and how you feel. www.hypnobirthingdownloads.com - free mp3 on homepage and a Stress Release track + Recharge your Batteries would be great. Good luck, you'll be fine and remember your new baby is most important now, even if you have to leave work early or not eat quite so well.

FREE HYPNOBIRTHING TALK Please come along to a free Hypnobirthing talk on Monday 21st Feb, 8 - 9pm in Herne Hill, SE24. I'll be delighted if you can join me to find out more about Hypnobirthing, ask any questions and experience a wonderful, relaxing 'trance'. Please call or email me to book your free place. If you're not free on Monday then do call for more information. Hypnobirthing is THE way to give birth, the NHS are currently running trials and to possibly offer these techniques to all mums-to-be - they've seen the amazing results for themselves as mums have much easier, quicker, more comfortable births when using hypnobirthing techniques. Hope to perhaps meet or speak to you very soon, Kristin 07963 046 456 http://www.kristinhayward.com [email protected]

interested to read your message as our son is at school from home but on the internet, at InterHigh - a great compromise between mainstream school and homeschooling. At the moment I'm doing a lot of the interface between him and school, chasing him on h'wk, helping him where I can, he has had a maths/science tutor (who may not be able to come much longer) but we've not got anyone else for now. I'm very keen to speak to other parents/tutors to spread the word that there are great alternatives to mainstream school as it just doesn't suit everyone. Happy to have a chat if you'd like to - my number is 07963 046 456. Thanks, Kristin
