Hello, I am a new mum and I was thinking about employing either a maternity nurse, home help or night nurse to help out.I am breastfeeding at the moment and can't express. Baby is getting formula top ups. Just wondered what maternity or night nurse do if you are still breast feeding? Are they a help? Appreciate any help, advice or recommendations people may have. Thanks

What about Honor Oak Park. It doesn't quite have all the independents shos and bars and tell high street is quite small but its changing all the time and it's a skip away from East Dulwich, has really good transport links ( east London line and overground) and really good schools. Prices are shooting up though....

I have just given birth to my first child and am currently with the lanes. The care and attention I have received both pre, during and post labour has been amazing. My midwife is Sadie but I had Vanessa and Clemy during the birth. I had a difficult birth and they were so kind and supportive. We have been having a few issues post birth so being able to call the Lanes for help and advice has been a godsend. Sadly I have moved to Hop and won't benefit from the Lanes second time round. I was suprised to hear some people have had a negative experience because the are all lovely ladies. If you can utilise the service I would take it up a 100 percent.

I am a HOP resident and would thoroughly support any direct links with ED. At the moment I have to trek to Brockley Rise to get the 185, one of the few links to Ll. Like a lot of other HOP residents I make regular trips to ED to utilise the shops and amenities available particularly those which HOP is lacking. Given the distance by car it seems ridiculous that there are no direct public transport routes. It's a shame that no budget is available to rectify this as I think the demand is there. The east London line links are a bonus...

Yes I am talking about the zebra crossing by the roundabout where the edt is. It's pretty clear to see when someone is waiting to cross. Some drivers have no intention of stopping hence why I have nearly been hit.

Today is the third time in the last few weeks that i have been nearly run over by reckless drivers at the pelican crossing at the bottom of goose green and lordship lane. Each time i have waited to cross and alert drivers accordingly. Today i was half way across when i was nearlt hit by a guy driving way toO fast. I am expecting so as you imagine i got the fright of my life. I am not sure if anything can be done but i wish people would jsut be a bit more considerate and not take stupid risks.

Would love come along to the next ed winter babies meet. I am due on the 24th of Jan and would like to meet other mummies due at the same time. FYI went to a really helpful pregnancy physio class today at Kings. They are free and think they send you an invite. Lots of useful exercise to help with aches and pains. Do keep me posted Cheers Lulu

Hello, I have just tried to book myself on an NCT class in East Dulwich but to no avail. Are there any other classes and options out there? Appreciate your help!!

Oh I can't think of anything more commercial or ghastly! I have one round the corner from where I work. The food is overpriced and in my view sub standard quality. I would rather have an independent Japanese outlet. There are loads in soho and on Piccadilly and they are generally very good with a more authentic feel.

Roughly 2ft by 2ft guesstimate

Thanks everyone. We have had confirmation that it's definitely a public sewer from Thames water. They are responsible for the access point in the garden. This access point is at least a foot high, I.e. not your usual man hole cover.... Does anyone have anything similar? It is certainly not attractive and takes up quite a large proportion of the already small garden area.

Hello, would really appreciate if anyone has any help or advice to offer on the following situation. We have made an offer on a house. We have found out recently that a) the house is above a public sewer with a manhole in the back garden. We have also found out a chimney breast was removed seemingly without planning permission. This was done prior to the vendors moving in but they can't confirm if planning permission was sought. Should we be concerned? Bit unsure at the moment Many thanks L

Does anyone have any further info on this? The pretty flowers are all very well but I would like to what the centre actually does.

Does anyone know what the purpose of this building is? It is right on the corner of East Dulwich and Crystal Palace road. I have heard mixed reports ranging from a halfway house for homeless people, a house for people with emotional problems or people with mental illness. I can't find any information on the place. Any ideas??

I saw Jenny Eclair in the Palmerston last Friday and i saw that really rough looking woman who works in the Vic in Eastenders in the Greyhound. It would be nice to see some fit celebs

Sounds great. I will definitely looking forward to coming down and meeting some of the girls. Lulu

Hello, I would be interested in getting involved. Is there anything being organised in ED? Lulu
