Hello neighbours! I'd like to buy some blackout blinds to help combat my children's early rising. I wondered if anyone knew whether I could buy them anywhere in Tooting area? If not, does anyone have any suggestions? I would rather go shopping to see them than order them on the internet. Many thanks for help.

I’m looking for a glazier to remove a pane of glass and replace it with something that is more decorative and frosted. It is a kitchen door and the glass is oval shaped. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Over 60 recipes ref a 'low-fat special' -to collect if you would like it.

My cousin’s house has a lot of moths in the kitchen area which is causing her stress. Any ideas as to how to get rid of them. She has had them lurking around for about 2 months or so. Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

"September Meeting - Wednesday 11th September

CRAFTIVIST

This month we will be hearing from Sarah Corbett, who is an award-winning activist, author and founder of the global 'Craftivist Collective. She grew up in a low-income area of the UK into an activist family and has worked as a professional campaigner for over a decade, most recently with Oxfam GB. Sarah started doing craftivism (craft + activism) in 2008 to add a different tool of activism into the toolkit - a form of slow, quiet and intimate effective activism she calls "Gentle Protest".
We will hear all about how Sarah set up Craftivist Collective and how her work has helped change government laws, business policies as well as hearts and minds.
We will also be getting a bit crafty ourselves, with a craftivist workshop.

As always, we would welcome anyone who could come a bit early to help set up, or stay for a few minutes afterwards to help tidy away.

We look forward to seeing you on Wednesday!

Found Black and White Cat

I am having new windows installed on Sat 07th Sept and need to remove my Venetian blinds x4 in preparation for this.

This video makes this look like an easy 5 second job but my experience is rather different LOL!:

Maybe I am not using enough brute force but I am afraid that I will cause damage in the process. I am looking for someone to undertake this task and will pay for your time/effort if you make me an offer.

Please inbox me to swap contact details. Many thanks.

I’ve come home from work the past 2 evenings and this little pusscat has been in my front garden. I’m on Mitcham Road at Amen Corner. He/she is very timid and when I approached and tried to coax it for a stroke it scurried through the hedge into next door’s garden. Tonight he/she was crying after I came inside the house and so I went back out and have given it some food - it was cautious about coming for it but gobbled it up. Sorry about the quality of the pictures, it was dark and pusscat wasn’t feeling too photogenic! It is a tabby with white under its chin, on its chest and front legs. Unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be able to get it near enough to catch it and as I have 2 cats of my own , coaxing it inside is not an option. Really hope someone recognised him/her and we can reunite them with their owner.

Hi, I bought this size tin cause I couldn't get a tester. I tried it on some trellis and although it's a great colour it just didn't work with everything else. I use Cuprinol Garden Shades for my trellis, bench and shed and it works really well. Check out the colour on their website https://www.cuprinol.co.uk/products/garden_shades

they are PDF's and you can download them -

Every year I have to halve or quarter this plant as it gets too big for my little pond. Would you like for your pond? An easy prolific grower. To collect approx half from Tooting Graveney. Please PM me.

I live in a third floor flat and my overflow pipe is dripping water on to my neighbour's window below. I need a plumber who can fix this specific problem.

I've had my fair share of cowboys in the past so any recommendations would be gratefully accepted.

It was a great day with more people than ever - with lots of family friendly activities, brilliant music, stalls, food and drinks..
Thank you everyone who came and supported our FACE fundraising stall - we'll be selling more plants over the summer with all the money going to local causes. Our Garden Gig with Damian Wilson is on this Friday and we'll be having a comedy night with Arthur Smith next month so there's still lots more good Furzedown things to come!
