Oh - I see Russell mentioned already. Yeh - him. Although not done our roof. A while off yet.

Had a chap from RJP Roofing who seemed to know his stuff (Russell) - give me a ballpark figure last month of ?10k for an everything done job for a 3 bed semi.

Looking at Google > street view, it looks like it's one-way southbound > but the image is 2 years old Wells Way is both ways for most of it, except small section near Southampton Row, which you have to go Northbound along 'Cottage Green' to join the two direction section. Southbound it is Wells Way all the way. I join the Cottage Green road from Harris Street - which is a cycle path that runs across the front of a Housing Office (coming from Benhill Road) thus avoiding Southampton Way completely. A cycle traffic light takes you across Southampton Row to join Cottage Green. You get me? Makes sense on a map - just about.

I do: the back route avoiding Walworth Road madness - namely: the downhill joy that is Camberwell Grove, a few clever cut throughs to get me to Wells Way through Burgess park, then join Portland St which runs parallel to Walworth Rd. Then avoid all Old Kent Road / Elephant & Castle chaos by nipping behind the Heygate Estate that is being pulled down, and join the blue bike lane on Southwark Bridge Road to cross Southwark Bridge - by far the safest bridge in my opinion as the cycle lane is demarcated by a 2 ft ridge. Then up along past St Paul's, lovely quiet Carter Lane - crossing Ludgate Circus and join Chancery Lane to bring me to Holborn. I am not a racer or keen on getting there the fastest. I love my quiet (no buses) and scenic route and have been doing it three times a week for three years. Very happy to show you the route one morning, I leave at 9am three times a week, am near Goose Green. Let me know.

James, I read with interest your assertion above. I had not realised that quantity of support for a bid may be taken into account in the eventual decision by the DofE between two proposed providers. In light of this, if my vote of support is counted for one school bid over the other, then I unfortunately need to withdraw my support for the Haberdasher Aske's Federation school, as my preference between the two is for a new Charter school. Please can you therefore amend the total in the subject header of this thread (from 551 down to 550), that I notice is constantly updated as posts are added. I presume you do this? I will email you privately with my details for my name to be removed from your supporter database. Thank you.

I too had this problem, even when we had the magnetic collar cat flap, intruders kept coming in and terrorising our cats, and oh god - the smell. I was highly extremly sceptical of the expensive cat flaps which electronically read your own cats' microchips, thereby only letting in your own cat - was unconvinced for years. My eventually vet persuaded me that very many of his cat owners swore by them and so I reluctantly forked out the expensive ?80 or so - as I was desperate. This has been one of the BEST ?80 I have ever spent. Despite looking flimsy, as if any big bruiser cat could barge in - the cat flap does indeed work. Only my two cats can get in, they just had to learn there is a slight delay before the reader recognises their chip, and the flap opens for them and only them. I watched the intruder try a few times - butting the flap - but as it never worked for him, he VERY soon gave up and we have never had the intruder problem since. I now realise the reason these cat flaps are expensive is because they really do work. We have the SUREFLAP one. There is a Staywell all also. Read all the reviews on Amazon etc. Fairly accurate reviews. This has been my longest post ever. Hope it helps.

I support the proposal. Not if it is another Harris school though.

I would very much appreciate your pm views too please as I am in same mind as Crubeen. Many thanks

The kind of childcare you describe is an au pair. The other options are after and pre school clubs, or a childminder (go to their house though) or a nanny - and a nanny would be looking for a full time job not just those hours. Possible you could find a nanny share - but those hours you describe are the golden hours everyone wants childcare for. I work part time and do all the school runs. Good luck.

We were done two weeks ago, Ondine Road, Grove Vale end, backing onto Oglander. Same thing, in the night. They really are on this area. Take care folks. People done in Oglander - please pm me as I have a question.
