Re: Virgin Media

We had Virgin Media for ages and had loads of problems, broadband very patchy. Switched to Sky 2 years ago with combined package and service has been much better.

Dumped mattresses

From Penge to crystal palace park I counted 4 dumped mattresses . Can anyone understand the mentality of anyone who leaves such items on the street? Is there anyone in LBB I can complain to?

Re: Curtain/Blind Maker?

Designer drapes in Penge High Street are great. They have a workroom over the shop. Loads of fab fabrics. Not super cheap but excellent quality and they come and fit them for you. I have just had 2 new ones from them and they are lovely.

Re: Where the chuff does one start with a new kitchen?

I would definitely recommend my builder, but he's incredibly busy and hard to pin down, you have to be prepared for a wait. I could give you his details if you PM me. As a guide he charges around £3,500 for a bathroom refit, and that's the labour, add all your sinks, showers etc on top.

Re: Where the chuff does one start with a new kitchen?

Yes, bathrooms are a whole new area. Who knew there were so many taps, valves, shower heads, tiles etc. to choose from. Not going to Bathstore, Lee, have had warnings about them. Our builder recommends MDS which is in Kangley Bridge Rd. Graham there is a very nice guy.

Re: Where the chuff does one start with a new kitchen?

Agree a good builder is great. We did a kitchen refit last year and our builder stripped out all the old kitchen, did floor, walls, fitted the ikea units we had chosen, put in the oven, hob, fridge, did the plumbing , lighting etc. and it looks great, really pleased with it. ( lighting is another th...

Re: Where the chuff does one start with a new kitchen?

Have a look around a few showrooms- John Lewis in town, Ikea have good kitchen sections to get ideas about what you like - colour, style etc. buy some kitchen mags or do some online research . Pinterest has lots of kitchen ideas.. Do you want contemporary, retro, country etc? Draw up some plans on m...

Re: Where can I donate food to a food bank?

Thanks for that, it seems they accept a fairly limited range of food mostly tins and packets. I can't see why they couldn't distribute some fresh fruit and veg if any were donated.

Where can I donate food to a food bank?

Like lots of others over Christmas we bought too much food and guests brought extra food. Is there anywhere I could donate this food rather than chuck it or put it on the bird table? Includes stuff like biscuits and sweets which a family might like as well as packets of stuff which we aren't going t...

In my experience men who do entire Christmas shopping in 90 mins go to the bookshop and off-licence and that's it.

If we are looking for a good playground we go to Dulwich or Greenwich, and we live a 5 minute walk from Crystal Palace and Wells Parks!
