Hello everyone!


Spring is here and that means.. spring cleaning!! A lot of things you don?t need anymore are thrown away and end up in landfills, whereas others might find them very useful..


Towels, pet bowls/saucers, blankets, tupperware, dog and cat toys are just some things which the Blue Cross charity are always in need of. The closest Blue Cross hospital is based in central London Victoria. It opened in 1906 and has never closed its doors to animals in need since then. Victoria animal hospital treats thousands of pets every year, with treatments ranging from routine neutering to complex operations. They provide their services for people who cannot afford normal veterinary care, such as people on most benefits.


The hospital has it?s own facebook website: https://www.facebook.com/bluecrossvictoria/


They post on it almost daily, full of useful information for pet owners, ways to help the charity and how they have helped others.


Personally, I volunteer there and spend most of my time at the hospital, this is my way of trying to help them more and give back for how they helped me and my dog with kidney failure. Every little helps! They are always in need of cat food and dog food too, any kind.


They also have an amazon wish list, if you?d like to help that way.

If you?d like to donate something and you live close to Peckham Rye station but can?t make the trip to Victoria I could come and collect things off you to take to the hospital. Any questions, just send me a message :)


So if you feel generous, you can donate some things they might find useful, donate a ?1 or just spread the word! Thank you for reading.

Hi turkus,


I have some cat stuff: Royal Canin Renal Chicken wet food (one unopened box of 12 and 5 loose pouches - in date, but not to my cat's taste anymore - and also two sealed pots of PlaqueOff Dental powder for cats and an unopened pouch of PlaqueOff dental treats (PlaqueOff is seaweed based so not suitable for thyroid cats/dogs). All in date and available to donate to the Blue Cross.


Let me know if they could be useful.


I am based near the Horniman-end of Underhill Rd SE22.

    • I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me. 
    • If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?
    • I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing. 
    • interesting read.  We're thinking about the same things for our kids in primary school as well. One thing I don't understand about Charter ED is whether they stream / set kids based on ability.  I got the impression from an open evening that it is done a little as possible. All i could find on-line was this undated letter - https://www.chartereastdulwich.org.uk/_site/data/files/users/18/documents/9473A8A3547CCCD39DBC4A55CA1678DC.pdf?pid=167 For the most part, we believe in mixed ability teaching and do not stream in Year 7 or Year 8. The only exceptions to this are that we have a small nurture class for Maths. This is a provision for students who scored lower than 85 in their SATS exams and is designed to support them to acquire the skills to access the learning in mainstream class. We do not have nurture classes for any other subjects. We take a more streamed - though not a setted - approach in Maths and Science from Year 9 onwards. though unsure if this is still accurate reflection of policy, and unsure of difference between streaming and setting.
