Yes wee quinnie, soooo true!

Let's face it cella, if it was a little independent shop of some sort you wouldn't have any issues with it. Get a life dude!

What a great idea!

What the heck do they have to answer for/to??? leave them alone for goodness sake and get on with your (may I suggest quite boring?) life

Ummm I'm sorry but bikes ruining paving stones... of all the problems in this world, or ED even! Seriously?

Haha, my sister lives nearby and said EXACTLY the same about the smell! she literally lives 5 mins away from it but won't shop in there for that reason!

I really hope you don't mind me asking, but just out of complete curiousity and interest, does a C section result in a different kind of post pregnacy body than a vaginal birth? or is it more because of having had an operation that you just have to find a type of exercise that doesn't aggravate the healing process? You say that 'from my own experience that your abdominals need to be strengthened in entirely a different way after having had that operation'. Would you be able to elaborate a little? I don't mean to pry I'm just really interested.

Zoviax works brilliantly but get it quick, the earlier applied the better

IMO a good coffee depends upon the type of bean the cafe has chosen, the type of machine being used, the settings on that machine, plus getting the amount of coffee correct with the size of the cup- Starbucks cups are far too big- you can't get a good coffee from such sizes. Yes it's the barista who has to froth the milk and this can ruin a coffee if not done well but realistically I think the other things are what matters most in creating a good coffee. All barista's get trained to do the same thing so there shouldn't be much variation in who makes your coffee.

I've put mine in the normal rubbish before. I didn't think people would want my very old and very used cutlery. I guess you never know though.

I completely agree Paragon

Really do love Lordship Lane, even if some of what you see is overpriced it still beats soooo many high streets. My favourite is Roullier White- one of my fave shops in all of London. Also loving the new interior shop that's opened. Even if I can't afford much it's a gem of a place to walk around and get ideas and chat to the staff.

Bloody Maggie Thatcher. Social housing should stay just that, not for people trying to make an investment. How about buying it to live in?!

Homeless charities would absolutely love something like this

At the same time, I used to live with someone who screamed at me for ever putting the heating on because she had it on a timer to literally come on for two hours a day so she could save money. I couldn't live in such a house where someone was so controlling and ended up moving out. Mind you, she was an all out bully and you don't seem that way at all. I think Twirly's post is the most sensible. I have to say though, from my perspective I'd rather not buy xmas presents and keep warm. I think there's nothing more miserable than being cold at home and houses in London are so ill equipped in terms of draught proofing and keeping out the cold. It is hard when we all have different priorities but I am someone that doesn't consider heating to be a luxury in the winter- it's an essential really. I'd never leave it on overnight though- consider that to be a waste but when I come home from work it goes on straight away as has not been on at all during the day. And stays on until I go to bed. However if you really are worried just have an open discussion with your flatmate and I'm sure they'll be willing to chip in abit more towards the bill. Try not to be too pedantic about it though- like trying to measure who uses who- it can quickly turn nasty in those circumstances and realistically it rather petty.

It's an absolute nightmare and I'm so angry and sick to death of all of it.

Totally agree KK

The Olympics Owning my own home Apple products Having loads of money

Totally agree DulwichFox. Always found it completely ridiculous that you had to have the exact change. Hardly saw anyone using them. When you got on the bus and realised you had no money on your oyster then you'ld get thrown off to use the machine and miss the bus even though you had the money there and then!

I understand you sound you're doing all of the right things and maybe feel a bit annoyed but honestly when you live on JSA it's pretty bloody hard and any discounts you can get just make life that bit more bearable. I think you can also actually have some savings to claim although there is a cut off point. Unfortunately that's the downside of temping- sometimes you're working, sometimes you're not. Personally I hated the uncertainty of it all and wouldn't ever go back to it. If it suits you then great but then you kind of have to accept the downsides, otherwise forget about it and try to find a permanant position. I understand though from doing temping myself that whilst one day you might not be working, the next you may be so you're unwaged status is too changeable to entitle you to any discounts.

And you'll see the majority of people have oyster cards now anyway

How vile. poor bloody rooster

It is merely foolish not to claim JSA if you're unemployed, especially when it comes to your NI contributions. You've paid into the pot so swallow your pride and take it and then you can get the unwaged discount!

It's a joke. In no other country have I seen so many roadworks in my life.
