Oh wow - so many views! I'm doing better although today's return trip on the Eurostar won't help! Thank you all!

Thank you. I've started being stricter with my bedtime routine and finding I am already sleeping better... About to start taking supplements (including vit D) and meditation with the app recommended above. I must say I agree about the clocks going back playing havoc with my sleep patterns and general well being... Thank you again!

Choose a school close to you. We live opposite Goodrich. Drop off takes 5 minutes tops. Wouldn't change it for the world!

Thanks all. Definitely need to go to the gp and take some vitamins. As for contraception, I am on cerazette. I need to check the side effects. Thanks for the tip re: headspace app. Sounds really good. Roll on Christmas!

Just that really. Shattered. Not functioning properly, making mistakes at work, misreading emails, unable to get tasks finished, finding it difficult to get them started, unable to read with my daughter in the evening...I had some tests earlier on this year after I got stomach cramps and all was good so I don't think I'm deficient for example. Could it be the onset of winter? Any other busy mums feeling the same way right now? Any tips to get out of this rut? Thanks, Forum.

We have both and hubby loves induction so much that he says we didn't need the two gas hobs.

I don't think it was covered, Goldilocks. Charter gave us a full pack with a page per subject including curriculum and results. I can't find the equivalent information on Harris' website or open day material.

Another recommendation for EOS where my daughter is blossoming thanks to her amazing teachers.

I went to visit Harris Girls ED last week and was very impressed by the teaching team and the good behaviour I observed. I'm now looking for views from people with first-hand experience of the school. PM is fine. Thank you in advance!

The one from Charter is fab. There's a handout in it which covers one subject per page with curriculum info and latest set of results. Really well presented, clear and informative.

Sorry to hear about this. I hope your son is ok now.

I think you'll find they pop out for apricots for this evening's tajine! :-) Can't cook either. I would just order in.

I think if they are well put together and genuinely reflect the ethos of the school, then they are useful. I really like the one Goodrich produces.

Went around 11.00am on a Friday a couple of weeks ago. Was in and out within 10mns!

I'm sorry this happened to you, OP. And I hope your daughter is okay. You should have stayed put! Like Saffron, I don't take any bullshit any more. But I've had similar moments... with my parents in law! They keep telling me how well behaved THEIR children were, mainly when we're at the restaurant. But my husband clearly remembers his sister's antics in public spaces. Same sibling called her mother a bitch in front of me the first time I met the family. Well behaved... not! People forget what it's like to have children. There's nothing wrong with challenging them.

Oh dear. I used to love The Herne.

"Right now, and looking at East Dulwich, the continuing failures of Southern rail to serve the community consistently and well are distorting the transport picture. Look at road traffic when we have a proper rail service perhaps, but right now would be stupid." That! The day I feel I can trust Southern again, I might just stop paying ?125 a month in parking charges in Brixton and driving through Dulwich to get there.

Here's the link to the online form: https://www.gov.uk/eea-registration-certificate/permanent-residence It's all MUCH simpler than it was a few months ago: online form is straightforward and less paperwork required. As an EU national, I can't wait to have my residency and then UK citizenship. It's all too uncertain for my liking at the moment. Good luck with your applications.

Wondering how EU families in ED are doing with their residency/citizenship applications... My residency application is nearly done... but it looks like it's going to be tight if I want to get citizenship before Brexit...

Fantastic play at the Polka Theatre in Wimbledon. We went today and everyone, adults and child, loved it. It's captivating and beautiful and the issue of seeking refuge is sadly very current. It's on until 20 August. Perfect for a rainy day, of which there are many. Just thought I would share.

Interesting to note Helen Hayes's concerns that Dawson's Heights' fire hydrants might be affected by the frequent water shortage problems...
