Harrods is pretty hard/ impossible to get tickets for, unless your a Harrords card holder. At 16 months they don?t really know what is going on. So you could do something local like Wippersnappers in Dulwich Park. Then save the big Harrods event for a few years when they are a bit older. Look at places like leeds castle or Ruxley manor

Hello, are there any specialist local hairdressers able to deal with a high sensory needs child? Ideally, someone who will come to our home or can give a pre- opening appointment. It seems a thing in Wales and the States, but nothing in London I can see. TIA

Sorry to hear this. Awful feeling of personal intrusion

Definitely worth asking your neighbours to see. All the neighbourhood watch groups are fairly well joined, so link up on serious issues. If not, do consider starting one for your road

Woodwarde Road has a neighbourhood watch group, which alerts residents of things like this via email. Are you on the group? Well worth making the coordinatinator aware as they can let everyone know. It means we all collectively have one place to keep each other informed.

The best news I?ve had all day! Sooo please to hear

Hurah. At last! Positive action being taken. There are signs uk which owners ignore, and there is dog exercising track which some owners ignore. So all in all I am really pleased about this. Those who are responsible will take note of the rules and exercise their dogs within those rules. Those who don?t will get a fine. Some dogs off the lead are a danger to children and park users.

Monica that?s great to know.. I?m goinf to start refilling! Thanks!

Excellent to see. I?m now following on Instagram. I?ve just written my top 10 list for reducing my family?s plastic waste and general household rubbish. By end of 2018 I want to create no waste in the following areas: Hand soap Washing liquid Cleaning spray Cling film Sandwich bags Milk bottles Cheese Coffee cups Fruit Veg Tea bags Well it?s at 11 now... but tea bags is an easier one to achieve!

I live in SE22, this is my local sorting office and I have not received a single bit of information about this closure formally. That is appalling. I have only found out about it via this forum. Very cross indeed I will be expected to collect heavy and bulky items, on the bus at Peckham- I simply will not be able to manage this due to health issues. I have completed the survey monkey survey above

Could still be the rumour mill as Dulwich Village Infants school sent this text: From DVIS today: Parent alert: Today AM there was an attempted abduction in E.Dulwich of primary sch child. Child is safe. Chdn at DVIS are being reminded of stranger danger. So no mention of a separate incident at DVIS. The message from dulwich college is: We have been informed by the Southwark Safeguarding Coordinator of an incident that occurred near Elsie Road, East Dulwich at 8.40am this morning. A white man in a black car stopped and tried to pull a Year 6 girl along by her cardigan. The police have been informed. Again a single incident (still one too many)

I was emailed about this via the neighbourhood watch group. Really sorry to sorry to hear what happened. Agree burglar alarm on basically all the time, even if you pop out for 1 minute and always alarm downstairs when in bed.

I will be very happy to get involved trying to dispute this decision. I will literally not be able to pick up packages from Peckham. It's appalling. On the comments regarding the queues. There are large queues, believe it or not, before working hours, in the evenings and Saturday mornings. Funnily enough the popular times- a bit like your train to work, going to the bank, or when you go to the pub. Etc. Go at 11am on a Wednesday it's dead. It's kind of a fact of life and it's not going to be less busy in Peckham. And you'll have to travel further. It will not be any better

Dog crap on pavements, front gardens or anywhere else is disgusting. Absolutely vial. The OP should not have to clean up the crap from someone else's dog, bucket or water or not. And I am sure people that have not paved over their front garden have not left them, so that it may become a dog toilet. Owners need to clean up after their dogs.

I found it much improved. The filthy 'play area' with broken, dirty toys has gone. More feeling of space with new layout. Better selection of cakes and good pizza. Will miss the door step bread with beans or sausage sandwich though.: and hope you can still get a portion of chips!

Know when the Waitrose/ Sainsbury/ Tesco Xmas delivery slots are available and get it booked as soon as they are relased. Get everything delivered except your turkey/ meet and bread. Which you can pick up separately. You can start stocking up on Xmas pudding and sweets and nibbles in early November and often they have some excellent deals. Don't be afraid to get stuff early and store. Well by dates will be fine (but check) Try and get your Xmas shopping started in August(!) and finished in Early November. Don't leave the wrapping until the last minute.. It takes ages! Start wrapping in early Dec. We always enjoy making mince pies on Xmas eve and prep all our veg whilst sitting watching a film with some mulled wine. I like giving my son some new PJs on Xmas eve, as a lot of Xmas pics are in his PJs opening presents! D

We have just got planning permission through for our build project. We have used Richard from AOA http://www.aoarchitecture.co.uk He really is a genius and has produced some amazing designs and been really patient and committed. We have not got to the point of the actual build I hasten to add, but so far we are really happy with his work.

Also think there is a class at Brockwell Lido although the I haven't tried that one

For my first I did it at the Gaia studio Peckham and it was great, very intimate

I live in walking distance to tbe new proposed sainsbury and I do think it's a shame. There is a good sized sainsbury at the top of Lordship Lane, again in walking distance. I just don't feel we need this facility in the village. It will affect the newsagents, it will affect the wine merchant, it may affect the shop opposite if they sell birthday cards for example. It will affect the look of the village and ultimately it doesn't support an independent high street. It's a shame. I blame DE for putting rents so high it makes it impossible for independents to locate here. Gail's should have been a William Rose but they couldn't afford it, so we got an over prices artisan cafe instead.. Cause we so needed 4 cafes in the village... Everyone does know the pub is due to open next year? Lots of comments we need a pub.. We do have one its just being refurbished!

Thanks for the update. I went to the protest and was wondering what had happened

Yes do! ASAP!

I saw a recommendation for an architect which is particularly renowned for working with families with kids. They got great recommendations on here. Sadly I don't seem to have saved/ watch that thread correctly as I can't find it! Can anyone help? Thanks
