Thank you to everyone who recommended Tony from Only Flues and Hoses. He has been with us today and has done a brilliant job of sorting out problems with an outdoor tab ,leaky toilet with a broken flush and leaking radiator. He definitely went the extra mile to leave things working properly and future proofed against any other problems that may come up. He explained everything and was really helpful. A pleasure to have in the house. Would highly recommend Tel:07734956340

I agree with the original OP. I've not noticed it ever before but I did this week as I was walking past.A black car was driving at what seemed normal road speed through the cemetery .Far far too fast and I agree very dangerous as people won't be expecting a car travelling at speed.

I have also used Aston's handyman services . He came round to do some work on our gutter . He was available the week I called and his price was within our budget.As everyone else has said he was efficient ,professional and friendly and tidied up after the work . I would have no hesitation in using him again when we have any more of those jobs you keep putting off doing yourself.

DBS checks - complicated - help please!
clrky501 replied to LalKJ's topic in The Family Room Discussion
Hi I recently had to do this in a work capacity on behalf of someone else. I went through an umbrella body which I picked off the HMRC website where they list accredited companies It was not local at all but didn't need to be -all communication was done over the phone and I posted document copies to them. They sent the HMRC form and were extremely helpful when filling out the form-they gave me a set of guidelines to follow and I called them if I had any queries. The form itself is not complicated but it took me a while to work out which documentation I needed. A bit daunting at first but once you get started it's o.k..really ! -
Another happy customer ....got an appointment quickly and machine was working again within 10 mins (parts in van) Thank you !

Nice Autumn countryside walk not too far away

Thank you soooo much everyone ! -
Does anyone have any suggestions for somewhere that would be good for an Autumn walk this weekend. We have a 5 year old and would prefer no longer than 30-40 mins drive away. Thanks !

Tues morning playgroup on Forest Hill Rd?
clrky501 replied to Pickle's topic in The Family Room Discussion
I think its the church on one tree hill.Drop in -about ?1 with cup of tea and from what I can remember it starts 9.45 and gets busy.There used to be posters all along the fence on your way down to Honor Oak station.Good Luck ! -
Night time potty "training" - train or wait?
clrky501 replied to Sanne Panne's topic in The Family Room Discussion
Hiya I would say now youve started ,stick with it-we went through a lot of washing but as long as you have waterproof sheet and spare bedclothes you will be ok.Our experience wasn't smooth -after an initial great start my daughter started wetting the bed repeatedly.We stopped for 2-3 weeks and then tried again and touch wood no more accidents so far. Just to add for us lifting didnt make any difference.If you are BOTH ready I would say persevere-good luck -
What is the teeny-tiniest stroller-type buggy available?
clrky501 replied to Saffron's topic in The Family Room Discussion
Hi I dont drive and use public transport a lot-basically anything is difficult until your child can walk/support him/herself whilst you deal with buggy.Definaltely NOT Quinny Zap-I had one-folds very small and light but you cannot do it with one hand.I ended up with Mamas and Papas cheapest stroller-think it was MAMU1-lightweight umbrella fold and never looked back,although I think McClaren Volo is very similar weight and size.Even the lightest still feels heavy though !! -
I agree I found the fitting studio in Forest Hill great.Actually I cant remember if the lady did use a tape measure but she definately has the knack of looking at you and assessing your size.Shes really lovely too.Went there when I was breast feeding and never looked back-best fitting bras I have ever had !Even got a super supportive sports bra. Best to make an appoint.

I went to the 5 minute face party at Annas-thanks so much for organising and hosting at yours Fiona was absolutely brilliant-she identified all the areas I wanted to focus on without me even saying anything and took time to explain correct application techniques.My husband said I looked 10 years younger after the makeover(with a bit of prompting )and had kissable lips !Well worth the money and a very enjoyable experience.

There is a separate paddling pool in a different part of the park for little uns -its brilliant-I went Wed mornning/lunchtime and was not too busy.Went with 1 year old and 2 1/2 year olds and they loved it-lots of shade too

'congratulations on your pregnancy' pressie - advice please
clrky501 replied to millsa's topic in The Family Room Discussion
I received the book of 10 000 baby names! as a work present.It was great-not too personal-I wouldnt have wanted baby clothes or soft toys at that stage -
I found it essential to have corner protectors on our dining table -the corners were at eye height for toddlers! and there were numerous occasions when my daughter and her friends were running around and bumped into them,once resulting in a nasty black eye so would have been much worse without the protectors-I found the ones shaped liked hands from Ikea stayed on really well-dont look that attractive thought-suppose it depends on your furniture and space around it.

Shannons garden centre

Yes -the post office on Forest Hill Rd does it-you hold the baby and they just do it there and then with a polaroid

Thanks Fuschia-that helps a lot-cheers

I'm still a bit confused-my first choice for pre-school for my daughter would be a nursery attatched to a primary school-are these places very limited- do you need to apply to a few to ensure getting a place -or is it only worth applying to the ones you are closest too? Is it worth applying to private nurseys etc as well as a back up-will they really take a child for 2.5 hours a day when there seem to be waiting lists at most of them Would value anyone elses experiences or opinion
