Hi Everyone I need to pick up an entry form for each school (reception) for my toddler. Im not that close and dont drive, have young baby also. Ill get the bus over the next few days but I was just wondering if anyone has a child that goes there and if so would it be poss you could pick up for a form for me? I live in one of the flats on Northcross... Would really appreciate it Thanks Steph

Really sorry to hear that Mr Ben... Hope you're ok. Bloody scum bags x

Liking the Salmon/Vodka idea..might give this one ago. I could load the motherinlaws up with vodka ;-) Was thinking of Jamies originally but my fella is not s fan of Horseradish. Loves Beetroot mind!

My husband and I have never really done Christmas at home but now with the kiddies and the mother in law due the time has come... I was thinking about a Smoked Salmon starter maybe with cream cheese and chives? Any better ideas? We are not the best cooks in the world but not bad either!

Anyone know the exact time it leaves east dulwich today?

Pink Floyds 'Mother' is the song for my son...and now I always sing 'Precious little Diamond' to my little girl...just seems to pop into the head doesnt it!!!

Doesnt look related, its clothes or something from a shop up town. Might drop her a quick email just incase...

Erm nope - can't say I have seen that face/body around these parts before...

its come to my flat by mistake. Thanks Steph

Ahh wouldnt be the same without Sean! Pizza's were soooooooooo tasty and the staff were really lovely and sociable. Great night.

Is there going to be Softplay? Sorry I dont have time to go through the whole thread. Thanks Steph

An old boy walking his little dog today and continously telling it to be quiet and shut up becuase he wouldnt stop barking but it just made the dog bark more and louder..it was ever so sweet...

Can anyone confirm what date the nursery kids go back? I have a letter but it says nursery dates vary. Thanks

isnt the Irish festival next weekend?

I dont know what kind of bird it is buy yes they get me most mornings (Northcross Road) about 5am and don't stop until they have fully woken me. Then off they go to annoy someone else. Drives me mad!!!

Hi James Is there an update on the work re: Goose Green playground? Every time I am passing (twice a day) and spending time in there (often for lunch a few times a week after nursery) no work at all seems to be taking place. There are 3 or 4 men sometimes shifting a bit of cement but they are mostly standing around smoking and chatting. When I enquired with one of the workmen they told me by rights it should only take a few weeks to complete but he could see it taking much longer. When I asked if he were the only one doing any work he looked quite frustrated and just shook his head! How do these things work, dont they have a site manager or something? Completion date? Thanks a lot Steph

-- moved topic --

I walk past the builing site/new entrance on CP Road daily and I must say its really coming on. Any further updates or are they still heading for May/early June?

I asked the work man this morning and he reckons about 8 weeks...

Thats grand...thanks for the info.

Scott as a mother of a young child and soon to be new aby who lives opposite the pub I would be interested to know what the opening hours will be and also what time people will be allowed outside until? Will it be a family pub like the Herne or more in keeping with the Bishop???

Any idea's for 3.5 year old? Do Millwall cover this age group for a couple of hours a day? My hubby is a Millwall fan so would probably love to take our wee boy to something like that at the weekend. My son is getting very lazy also so I want to keep him active!!!

Looks like its doing the rounds, my toddler had it a few weeks ago at the back end of a cold. I used boiled water to wipe it all off then the ointment, Chloramphenicol which is easy to apply. Went after about a week. Make sure you get your wee one to wash her hands regularly as its really infectious.

I have had experienced the wrath of the Manager at Mind, he is incredibly rude, most of the time. I was only trying to offer him some books but his attitude when telling me they didn't need them was quite shocking. I have seen him behave in the same way towards others since. He does need to be brought down a peg or two!

Thanks for all the advise everyone...The itching seemed to ease up a bit last night and today. Also it's not particularly bad on the hands and feet, just all over my skin really. Pickle, largeginandtonic, did you get days that were better than others or was it constant and did it get worse as your pregnancy progressed? I have been eating so much chocolate, fatty foods and dairy throughout this pregnancy that it could well be related. If it persists over the next few days I will nip up to Kings. Thanks again x
