Check your settings on the Paybyphone app and make sure that notifications are off (they seem to have started charging for texting you to confirm the parking and again when the parking is almost expired). I think you can select email to confirm the parking (or exit the app and re-enter it to check current bookings as an alternative way to confirm that the parking booking has worked).

Suzanne James is local and amazing for food and catering for events. There's lots of recommendations on here for her too if you look in the tradesperson section. https://suzannejames.co.uk

Hi, I highly recommend Margaret's Music which runs a piano school. Margaret and her team are fantastic and very friendly. https://www.margaretsmusicltd.com/book/

Brilliant news! Thanks Amanda & Catman

Bellingham and Beckenham spa soft play have both opened up. You have to book online in advance and both are limiting numbers of attendees for each session. Bellingham sessions are 1 hour and Beckenham spa sessions are an hour and a half.

Can anyone shed any light on how busy busy the trains are coming out of London travelling to Peckham Rye at the moment please? Asking for a friend who has been shielding but has an unavoidable train journey to make. Thanks in advance

Sorted - thanks

I heard that you can drop off at Really Maria's on Lordship Lane, as it's a collection point for masks/scrubs/washbags etc. They will then be distributed where needed most.

I agree about speaking to the school. It?s horrible to see them go through this but really positive that she has told you. We?ve found this book useful: ?Bullies, bigmouths & so called friends? by Jenny Alexander. Good luck & hope things improve soon.

Hi, there?s one on Tuesday mornings at the Copleston Centre, Copleston Road from 9.30-11.30. It?s a brilliant space & they are very welcoming.

Yes they are: /forum/read.php?25,2028137,2028137#msg-2028137

Strings Club over in Brockley if that?s not too far.

No experience of Camber Sands. Broadstairs is lovely as previous posters have said but watch out for the seagulls; not wanting to scare you off but try not to eat on the beach, because they prey on anyone eating/holding food (they?ll take it out of your hand whilst you?re eating!)& are pretty big close up (especially for little ones).
