That's very interesting, thank you. TE44 Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > http://www.drcarolynfrost.co.uk/what-every-parent- > should-know-before-giving-consent-for-the-flu-nasa > l-spray-vaccine/

No one seems to mention the health risks of mobile phones anymore, so I thought worth a quick mention if you are busy researching your choices. The World Health Organisation has made the following conclusions: http://www.who.int/features/qa/30/en/ So all seems potentially harmless enough. But the lack of info on long term usage concerns me as a parent. Not so much for adults who make informed choices and have old addled brains, but for younger children who's brains and bodies are still growing and developing. Just another thing to consider.

We have not consented. I don't want to get into a debate on this either as it's so contentious and important. Just wanted make sure people know that you can go either way.

I'm the only person I know who has never had a mobile phone. I'm genuinely not passing judgement, and all the above sound sensible if you do decide to go for one, i.e. A brick and at secondary school. Also if it's pay as you go and you only agree to top it up once a month etc it could curb usage. But if you are still unsure, just ask yourself how you coped when you were at secondary school without one? That's all of you right? What did you do to cope? Can't your kids do the same? Having said that we don't want our kids to be stigmatised for being the odd one out or unable to join in group discussions remotely. Alternatively, I've heard of houses having a box beside the front door and as you come in you all drop your phones in there and the house is phone free. I think that's a great idea too. This one is good for modelling the true purpose of a phone and the true purpose of a family home. I.e. Stay in Touch when you are out of touch and communicate better when you are together. I suppose an inventive teen would then decide to leave the house to use their phone but an extra walk around the block might do some good anyway.

Yes. They will let you defer once in your circumstance or with a holiday. But not the second time. The second time you have a chance to talk to the judge. From watching many of my co jurors walk up to the judge at the front of the court to ask permission to leave, he was very very strict at this point. meli Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Well in the form they say booked and paid > holidays are fine so they let you to defer.

Usually you can defer once. If you attend you can make a case to the judge but it's very intimidating and there really is very little chance. When I did mine (same circumstances as you) the judge didn't let someone who had a two week trip on Thailand for their family booked off the hook.

Well done you for investigating this and managing. Much appreciated.

Re vitamins, we use Better You vitamins for kids which come as a spray. Sprays into the mouth are also shown to be absorbed better than most vitamins so I use them too.

Not quite the same but our post used to arrive in the morning and for the last fortnight after lunch.

Our condolences

That's no good I'm afraid.

Hi, I need to buy a CD with this song on and can't find one for love nor money. If you have one at home, please tell me the cd name so I can source for my nephew asap. Thanks so much.

I know it's not the same but,there is a very long horizontal climbing wall in the playground in dulwich park. Maybe see if he likes it first?

I've used all the above before and they are timely or ineffective. I now use the ink stamp from stamptastic as recommended by my schools pta. It ink stamps a name on any surface from pencil cases to clothes and won't fade in the wash. The product theoretically lasts forever so should see you through many years of school. Very cost effective. https://stamptastic.co.uk/collections/named-stamp/products/standard-name-stamp

Hi, you are best getting in touch with the pta group for this school.

Box set of "Scandal"

Thank you, appreciated.

I think maybe mudchute farm.

That's funny. I was just looking briefly at somethingcalled Dance Matt. It's touchtyping for young folk. Just google it.

Jparkers online is very cheap for basic plants.

You are essentially paying for the dog walking as the rest is a bit of a gift. Depending on your friendship I would go ?20 a day absolute mex or as little as ?15 which is a standard dog walking rate. Alternatively a case of wine.

Agree. Well done for being brave and risking the wrath of the forum. You did the right thing.

For big high street stores in one place Bromley is closest.
