Have you given your child a mobile phone?
batgirl replied to bodsier's topic in The Family Room Discussion
My daughter posted via my name previously. I decided to not give either of my children a phone, as I work in secondary schools and see the things most parents do not.This generation of digital natives know how to bypass parental restrictions and cover their tracks. They do not have any issues with feeling they do not belong. My eldest is actually glad she does not have a phone she says she feels she has more freedom and never gets involved in all the fallouts over who said what on WhatsApp ect. -

batgirl replied to bodsier's topic in The Family Room Discussion
Hello everyone, I'm a thirteen year old girl who has never had a phone, let alone a smart phone and I am not allowed to have one until I am old enough to sign my own contract and pay for it my self. Even though all my friends have a phone I am not a social outcast. I personally don't believe I need a phone, if I want my friends to come over I give then my mothers phone number and my address. The process is repeated over and over, even in the summer holidays. I am happy without a phone. -
I need someone to pick me up from hospital after surgery but have no-one to do it. I am struggling to find any such service. Any ideas much appreciated.

Just seen a chav runnong off with an armful of chicken tikka marsala. Think he got confused when his mates said they were robbing Curry's.

Does anybody know how I can find out when the tide will be out tomorrow in the Surrey Quays area. I have tried looking online but cannot make sense of it all.

I am trying to look into the murder of Kalbinder Kaur Hayre. Kalbinder was an Asian woman killed during a racist attack in the Dartford area in 1985.I know there was a short documentary made about the incident called 'Sari Red' although I cannot find a link to watch this. I would also like to know how to find old newspaper articles, I have tried looking on the internet and have come up with nothing. I must admit I am not great at 'surfing'. Any points in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I gave birth to both my children at Lewisham Hospital,one in 2004 the other 2006.I lived on Asylum road in Peckham at the time. You are able to make a request to give birth in a hospital of your choice, but if out of your borough they may not accept.

Primary school place allocation chaos has started!
batgirl replied to tallgirl's topic in The Family Room Discussion
Sorry for sounding a bit naive; what southwark info? do you mean the book they give out about admissions? They did have the mixed aged thing going on anyway last year. I have to be honest and say alot of this stuff confuses me:-$ -

emc - Really happy that you got in and haven't had to endure last years stress. :)-D I really don't understand how they can say they don't have the space one year but the next hey presto! the can fit in another 15. It contradicts their reasons for turning down appeals last year based on class size. -

I attend every week, did appeal the decision but got no where, even took a local councillor along. She told me that the fact I was not married was an issue,I do believe I could have won if took it further but felt so worn down from the whole process and gave up. Wish I pursued out of principal. -

Can somebody tell me how a child living off Meeting House (down by peckham police station) lane got into St Anthony's when I could not get my daughter in last year and I am in Nunhead???? It is not a fair system. -
I'd want to know if they were my kids.....
batgirl replied to Narnia's topic in The Family Room Discussion
I too think you have done a great deed. I wish I had thought to do the same last summer, when I witnessed a chidminder leaving two babies in her car while she went into Fairlawn nursery to collect a child. I did stay by the car till she came back as one baby was screaming and there would have been ample time for someone to have grabbed both children. I did have a few words with her and spoke to the head of the nursery. Wish I did more, such as trying to find the parents to let them know:( *edited to correct spelling*
