I used wet wipes for about 6 years before realising that most were made out of plastic (i.e. polyester!) and will take 200 years to biodegrade. Most end up in London?s landfills (which will be full by 2026) and 1 in 3 gets flushed down the toilet ending up in our rivers and beaches? or forming 93% of London?s fatbergs.


Please join us in stitching messages into baby-wipes and sending them to our MP?s and supermarkets asking for action on plastic wipes.


All resources and toys for any children (but just be aware there will be needles and scissors around!) will be provided. All welcome! You don?t need to know how to stitch, and the more hand-made the message the better! I can teach you some stitches and it?s really easy. All you need is a willingness to stitch messages for the environment.


Please join us!

Friday's 9.30 ? 11.30 at Aneto Caf? (58-60 East Dulwich Road, SE22 9AX) at the back.

*We're using pre-consumer waste wipes, off cuts from a wipes factory which were going to be thrown away. Plus they didn't have any moisture on them, so it's a firmer surface. No actual wipes were purchased in this project!

Tomorrow morning... if anyone's around it would be lovely to have some company while stitching!

      Food poisoning at Dugard & Daughters - twice!

      By vladi · Posted

      Something doesn't quite smell right here and probably it's not  the chicken. Both the OP and TheWeekEnd specifically mention  chicken thigh fillets. TWE purchased £14 worth of chicken thigh fillets and they were thrown away "probably for the third time". £14 equates to around 12 fillets which is a lot. Could some have been frozen after purchase and then thawed? And thawed properly before cooking? TWE has a total of 4 posts of which 3 are on this thread.

      How to get rid of extra Garden/Waste large bins

      By Daniel_CR17 · Posted

      Thanks to all for the advice, very glad to have this community for these enquiries. Here is how it got resolved in case its useful for anyone in the future: I had ordered some garden waste bags, and when the Veolia person came around I just asked them, and they were more than happy to take it no questions asked. 🙂

      Sunlit uplands. Are we there yet?

      I keep seeing a thread 'missing cat', but you've been found.  Not sure if all would consider that a good thing.  Not a lot new happening ....  When you back in Blighty?

      Exterior Design Gardens - Oliver (Oli) Hawkins

      By Tams · Posted

      In March Oli and his team did an excellent job of the following work at a property I manage.  1. Completely removing existing broken front path. Covering and securing the void (coal shute) beneath using concrete lintels, waterproof membrane and concrete. Laying a compacted sub-base and new clay pavers. 2. Removing broken fence. Securely installing 6 fence posts and 5 fence panels across the end of the back garden. Base of posts wrapped in plastic  sheath and set in post mix. 3. Removing broken render from terrace steps and cleaning then re-rendering steps where needed and repairing other parts.  4. Jet washing rear patio. I would like to thoroughly recommend him to you for a job done very well at a fair price.
