The fake window cleaner knocked on my door on thursday evening and said his 'boys' would be cleaning windows on Friday for ?10 and that most of my neighbours had already paid in advance for the month. He's very plausible so beware.

Thanks EDmummy, your right I was just wondering if there was anyone locally in a similar situation to me, as despite knowing loads of parents round here I don't know any who are single. Looks like the forum isn't the best place to find them but then where is?? Hi Chav, with you on the wardrobe comment but annoyingly don't get the free babysitting!

Good point Muttley, maybe after a few days some more will have got round to catching up with the forum... we'll see. In the meantime, hi Maxbabe! Peckham's got to count as it looks like it's just the two of us..

Are there any other single parents in East Dulwich? Or am I the only one?

I just can't believe this at all! As others have said, this Museum is a fantastic resource for children in a very deprived area. If the council's argument is that not enough people use it then why not spend a little on publicity? I had not even heard of the museum until today and I have young children and live in the borough - sadly we've missed the boat as it closes for good at 5pm today. Very sad. I've signed the online petition and I'll be emailing Tessa Jowell, I hope lots of others do the same.

Ooh I'm interested too, what a fabulous idea, 'fraid I can't make tomorrow eve but would definitely be interested to hear what goes down at the meeting and try and attend the next one. Good luck!
