I put this in the general ED area but losing weight can reduce risk of some of the medical conditions that can cause Covid symptoms to be worse so I thought I'd put it here too so as many people as possible who might find it useful are aware.


Southwark is running a pilot with Slimming World with a FREE 12 week referral for those eligible who want to lose weight.


If you know someone who wants to lose weight referral is via the Southwark Healthy Lifestyle Hub on 0333 005 0159.


The offer?s not open to current members. I can say from personal experience that the West Norwood group is a friendly group with a great Consultant and support from other members. Its not a diet, Slimming World introduce you to a healthy lifestyle and there are members in the group who fit it into their family life / while travelling for work / working shifts.


12 week?s free would cover the run up to Easter if that?s likely to be a challenging time. There was definitely sharing last Easter on ways to cope with the challenges the time of year throws up. If you know someone who might be interested do pass the details on. Ok weight losses might not be what they were pre-Covid but people are losing weight and there have been those that have reached their target weight during lockdown.

It's Lent isn't it.

It must have just got through to me born 1965 as I always feel compelled to make a token effort with something at least for Lent.


Cadburys cream eggs and Hot Cross Buns do tempt though but I guess they're all year round now. Never eaten an Easter egg proper before Easter Sunday.

    • My understanding is the "free event" is 100% Gala, nothing to do with the council. Obviously Gala will still make money from the food & drink that they are trying to coerce punters into buying on their social media posts. Their costs will be negligible due to already having the infrastructure in place for Gala. So Gala are trying to appear community minded by providing this "free event", but the real goal is to set a precedent for a fourth day's festival - which surely no one could possibly object to?!? - in preparation for applying (again) for two three-day festivals spread over two weekends. It's only another two days, right, and the site & equipment is already there, so why would anyone object?!? More money for the council, much more money for Gala, win-win right? But yet another week of our park taken away from us, too, and another 18,000 people trampling & littering the park, and another week of disturbance for the native birds & wildlife...
    • Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?
    • Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.          
    • If you don't use the car often then suggest disconnect the battery between use by undoing the earth (negative / minus sign) cable from the battery and the battery will then last longer between use. Remember, central locking, alarm, clock, etc won't work with battery disconnected and wit ours I have to lock the doors with central locking before disconnecting battery as only have key on one door (leave bonnet open before locking doors). Hope this helps
