Thanks Lana for introducing Scooploop. Whilst we're on it, can anyone in the area recommend an after school baby sitter? Or is anyone up to baby sit my 7 year old daughter few times a week?

Hey!

If you're reading this, I'm assuming you got a letter from me through the letterbox.
I thought this would be the perfect way to bring all roads in Leyton together and build a community where we help each other out with local recommendations or help each other identify eg. a missing package!

Anyway.. thanks for joining !

Hi, does anyone know of any reputable car paint/dent repair workshops in the area? My car (VW Golf) got scratched and a few dents in a collision and I really would like to get it sorted out. Any recommendations would be great! Willing to travel a bit further afield if needs be. Thanks!
