Yes, I think it is. It's alternative weekends - 26 weekends a year working 15hrs = 390hrs a year £4,678pa/390hrs = £11.99p/hr

Someone has smeared shit all over a Lime bike on Goodrich Road (handle bars, seat etc) I've reported it via there online forms but I'm not a member so unsure if they'll see if any time soon. If anyone knows of a better way to report it let me know.

We've started using diatomaceous earth (food grade) for cat fleas. There are a few videos online on how to do this. We made a little face covering for our cats, so they didn't inhale too much. It's too early to know if it's been a success but we wanted an alternative to the Advantage/Frontline because of the problems associated with it as a pollutant. One cat didn't mind the application, the other was a bit resistant but it wasn't too hard to get it on.

The lodger may need some flexibility but it doesn't appear that he's been direct in asking for this. Instead he booked a train ticket without checking if the room was available. When it wasn't he put pressure on HeadNun to make the room available. He then appears to think he's owed access to the room on any day of his choosing. He seems to be arguing for what he thinks is entitled to, rather than what they agreed to. Maybe he interpreted the gesture of goodwill - being able to stay a Friday and a Sunday - as an indication things could be more flexible. Maybe he's in a difficult situation and has a pressing need for somewhere to stay at short notice. But if HeadNun has said this isn't what she is offering he can't pressurise her into doing this (which is what he appears to be trying to do). It's reasonable for him to ask or check out what flexibility there is in the contract. It's not reasonable to argue that Monday to Friday includes Sunday or refuse to listen when someone says no. If I was in this situation I'd be really anxious. Someone I've said can live in my house doesn't want to stick to an agreement we made. It's been covered in what other people have said but if he needs access on any day of the week he needs to find somewhere that offers this, and this would probably cost him a lot more.

I've read that white feathers in crows can be due to calcium deficiency or other environmental factors.

What are you talking about? Bellenden Belle was asking for advice, why is this so shocking? I wish I'd had a community to do this with when my children were young. It seems as though you haven't bothered to read anything she said or completely missed how careful she's been thinking this through and trying to see what would work. It reads like you've just read the thread title and rushed to judgment. How is this helpful?

I really sympathise, I live in dread of having to find another place to rent. Re friends of friends of the landlord getting the flat in your original post Have you tried posting a request in your networks/social media maybe with a pic & a jokey glowing ref might help it get shared more widely. Trying to find something in a specific location this way is tricky though. I have a few friends (of friends) in my network who rent below market rate and private landlords (as suggested above) are more likely to do this - estate agents often bump things up. It won't make things better for you but I'd also suggest reporting the landlord to Southwark (once you're out with your deposit and references) - I'm not sure what good this will do but it might result in them getting a nudge to fix things. Damp is a health risk to tenants - especially if mould grows and in winter. I found this link - https://forms.southwark.gov.uk/ShowForm.asp?fm_fid=1590

They're expensive and I've only tried a few things, but the grapes are lovely and not what you can get in most shops at the moment, I think. But it's a very guilty treat, for price and air miles. Which market are you talking about Angelina? Is it just for retailers?

I've been having lessons with Roksana since July when I decided to give the piano one more try. I learned as a child but never really got to grips with the basics and after a couple of slightly terrifying teachers lost my confidence. Roksana has helped me understand the foundations. Having to go back to the beginning as an adult could have been dispiriting but I look forward to my lessons feel that I'm (slowly) getting somewhere, instead of just winging it, as I used to do. She's an amazing teacher. I only wish I'd found her sooner.

Hello, Despite risking their lives during the pandemic, NHS staff from overseas are facing deportation and immigration insecurity. The second reading of a private members' bill to give doctors and healthcare staff from overseas indefinite leave to remain has been cancelled. Please support these workers by signing a petition calling for the government to give NHS and social care staff from overseas and their families indefinite leave to remain: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/563652 There's a letter from the nurse who started the petition in today's Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2021/feb/08/support-migrant-nhs-and-social-care-staff

Paul came over really quickly and gave me a quote and removed all the rubbish with the minimum of fuss and bother. He also kept the house clean even though he had to bring a lot of rotten dirty rubbish through from the shed.

I've just looked at their website and it has a make a donation button on it that goes through to a justgiving page. https://www.cschub.co.uk/

Thanks Finderloo - they're Turkish Cypriots. Their son drove over today with supplies, they're well stocked up for now. Thanks James - the link on that site for accessing support doesn't work - do you know if they're still running that service? I'll try emailing them

I'll check, their English isn't great, so it's a bit hard to explain different options, but I'll try - thanks Pugwash

Thanks Sweetgirl that's a good idea. I've actually put a call out to friends and they're looking for items as well for them. Hopefully we can get it covered. Take care

I've been trying to get food for my elderly neighbours who are self isolating. They're too afraid to go out to the supermarket for the special older people hour. Does anyone know if there's anyway of getting home delivery for them. The supermarkets I've tried are all booked up. I'm not able to get everything they need at the moment from the shops.
