I am pleased to report that I just had a call back from Phil & Ted - they are on their way over to collect my buggy to take it away for testing. I am glad they are taking it so seriously.

Frontwards. Good point, going backwards would prevent that from happening - I will go backwards from now on.

I had an horrifically scary experience with my Phil & Ted's buggy on Friday that I wanted to share in case it prevents a terrible accident. I had been getting on and off the trains all day, then suddenly when I went to get off the train in Purley the front wheel fell off the buggy and under the train. The whole buggy lurched forward and down - luckily my baby was strapped in and I had the loop around my wrist so I was able to keep a hold of the buggy and stop it and my baby from following the wheel down and through the gap in the platform and under the train!! It was so scary. I wanted to let people know to be careful if you have a phil & ted buggy where the front wheel detaches. I don't know why the wheel came off suddenly. I had got on to the train and it was fine and on and off a few trains throughout the day. Perhaps the lever got caught on the edge of the train on the way out?? There was no way to get the wheel until the train pulled out, then they stopped the trains on the track in order to get the wheel off the track - I dread to think what would have happened if I didn't have the strap around my wrist.

Please be careful - I have contacted phil & ted to let them know.

Hi

I was suffering from excruciating pain from SPD, a couple of weeks of Physio at ESPH on lordship lane and a Serola belt and I am virtually pain free despite being near term in my pregnancy. I saw Aisling & another female physio at ESPH and they have been great. You will need to strip down to your pants so they can assess your pelvis - so you may prefer to see a female physio.

Good luck - it really is so awful!

I went to see Lizzi at ESPH, who specialises in women's issues. Feeling better already so would also recommend her.

This is probably a stupid question but what number do you call to report something to the local police that is not an emergency? I had an issue this morning that my husband wants me to report to the police. Not a mugging thankfully.

I second Massimo recommendation too. He is independent I think 020 8693 7778

Great to hear. Thank you for your post.

Hi I am looking for someone who is available to dog-sit our great dane about once a month for 1-3 days at a time. She can't be left unsupervised with other dogs, but is very friendly otherwise and good with cats and children.

Pls PM me if you are interested

I have also had a great experience with The Neighbourhood Vets. I have had to go a few times for different things and each time Amber has taken a lot of time and been very thorough. My dog has recurring ear infections and Amber spent time with me teaching me how to clean and monitor my dogs ears myself so that I can hopefully prevent infections in the future. I also saw Suzanne who was super pragmatic and my dog loved her (always a good sign). It is great to have them just a walk away!

I am missing mail also... very strange and annoying.

Just got told over the phone by national rail that all southern trains from Victoria to Peckham rye are now cancelled as of a few minutes ago
