Got my fox-proof coop and run, now all I need are some chickens!! I'll let you all know how it goes. The dogs may be ok with chickens, because we just took in a tiny kitten yesterday and after gradual introductions the dogs were really good with her even though they have never been close to a cat before and always pull on the lead to chase them in the street. So hopefully I can get them to guard the chickens instead of trying to eat them!

"I sugest you look at your own prejudices and stop trying to spoil what mllions of poeple like just cos it's not your thing....DO GOODER" - isn't that what I said in my post? And as for Bingo, it may have been more of a harmless bit of fun in the past, but the big chains go for the hard sell and I personally know 2 women who have nearly lost their homes to their bingo addiction.

I hate gambling more than I hate other addictions, probably because it wasn't one of mine! My knee jerk reaction is to stop poor people being ripped off by the big business bookies by having all new applications (including super casinos) blocked, but I am willing to accept it may not be as simple as that. I think my view of bookies, is the same as most Daily Mail reader's view of big drug barons, so maybe I need to try to be more open-minded on the issue. Maybe small bookies, run by local people may be more acceptable than huge theiving chains of bookies and lets not forget Bingo. They are not friendly little games run by old fogies, they are serious businesses now and a lot of women end up in debt going to the big business bingo places.

So come on lets see it! Post a pic

Buy a farm

I finished my degree in the summer, and am training as an immigration & asylum caseworker. I wasn't into family law, but know a little bit from working as an outdoor clerk for various solicitors in the past. I was more interested in human rights and international public law, which is all about governments obligations to people and other states. I did environmental law too, so not that useful, sorry! My ex still takes my youngest every 2 weeks, if he can find the time, and part of the Christmas holidays, but I've only just managed to get ?21 per week off him from the CSA after 6 years of trying - he's a self-employed painter & decorator so reckons he earns ?160 per week net! I'll wait till he misses a payment and get them to check his bank accounts, cos they have to take his word for it at present and can only make further investigations if he doesn't pay. But I think even he isn't that stupid! Ex-partners are often a nightmare, so there is no point in getting too stressed!

You guys have made my sad and lonely life more bearable in the emotional wasteland that is East Dulwich and I thank you from the borttom of my bleeding heart. Happy New Year guys!!!!

Most definately

I managed to finish my degree and get a regular-ish job! Not something I would have thought possible 10 years back. I'm well excited about what 2008 will bring.

Oh, in that case, I'd be honoured DM!

DM, are any of the footballers members perchance?

I can't afford to join the gym, so I guess I won't get my hands on any of the footballers but I'm definately up for a singles night at the Hamlets!!

Finished series 4 last night. OMG what a waste of life. I know it's only make believe but how can anyone not want to change things after seeing this! Their education system, political system and police are all driven by stats and test results, same as in the UK and the results of this are the same here as shown in The Wire. SeanMG, how can you not want to be a politician and fight for change after watching the mind blowing series 4???

I had loads of crap with my ex at one point. He was being ok one day then another time would start arguments for no reason and I couldn't work out what was going on, until I realsied the only time he started was when I was outside his house dropping off or picking up my kids, cos his missus was watching! I have no interest in going anywhere near him, but he tries to make her think I still want him in order to keep her feeling insecure (tried the same on me when we were married) so everytime he started, I just drove off so he started ringing and I hung up, then he even wrote me a really nasty letter, so I threatened him with a non-mol order. Peace of a sort has reigned ever since, although his woman does try to stir shit between him and the kids. Anyway, my advice, is ignore him. A person can only make you angry if you allow them to. You have the power not to listen. You have a right to make sure your son is ok, after plans have been changed. If he or his GF get pissy, ignore them and keep any evidence for court, incase it ever gets that far.

DM is actually a very nice person, but I used to think her posts were serious so I can understand why you maybe don't understand that she is actually taking the piss out of a certain type of snobby social-climbing clique prevalent in Dulwich.

Thats where I prefer my men to be positioned DM, well initially anyway!

Thanks for all the info guys, very helpful and DM, I don't get high anymore, but thank you.

Family rings. They could have distinctive rings passed down from father to sons, and they both wear them. It could be a picture capturing the body and hand but head obscured by brolly or ring left behind.

As for the neighbours, i already promised them some fresh eggs, so i better get on with it!!

Thankyou Charlie, I was beginning to get weighed down by all the negaitvity!

Yep, Lidl do duck, crab and lobster too

haha, maybe I'll wait till I get my farm then.

Watched upto episode 7 last night. Have surfaced for food and my EDF fix, and am off again to start on episode 8 before I get dragged out of my pit by my daughter later - I have to do family stuff! One thing I have to say tho is - Why, Omar? Now you have a buckethead. Please grow it back!!!

I was a bit worried about my dog actually. I'd be mightily upset if he ate them!

Only if he makes the footballers attend too!!
