Definitely go for a kings referral but while you wait try using Aveeno daily moisturising cream. Its made with oats, keeps skin soft for ages and totally takes the itch out. Makes a massive difference. I know i sound like an advert but I have been trying different things for 40 years and this is the bomb! They sell it at Sainsburys.

Mr

Hi, We have had John (jex05), help with lots of jobs in our house. It was so good to get everything done so fast and efficiently, door fitting, shelving etc. Another parent at our school has had him fit their secondhand kitchen which is a bit of a tricky job and they were really happy with the outcome. John is a real find and I definitely recommend him. Good luck with your kitchen,

90p for a top class samosa, cheese block rocks!

Thanks for the replys, we went for large normal velux in the end as our kids are sill young and the balcony thing felt a bit dangerous, esp as our views are not that good!. Sorry for late response, its been a bit of a building site around here :)

Hi, Sorry for such a random thread but with so many loft extensions going on i though someone might have tried these new windows. http://www.velux.com/products/product_overview/roof_windows/roof-balcony_and_-terrace I was definitely going to install one but one of the loft guys said not to buy one as they are not very sturdy. Has anyone tried them and if so would you recommend them? Thanks

I freeking love that Turkish shop. It never lets us down, it sells EVERYTHING. Will give the Butchers a Butchers, ha! (sorry jokes by DJ Dad). Also looking forward to a Kebab!

Hi, I have just finished a rather large project and need a GCSE Modern world Historian to check my work. Anyone local?

Given that I contacted you last week and gave you my address this is an odd post. Esp as you replied! Dealing with your company in the past has been unpleasant and difficult so I have hired others to fix your work. Now I have to take the whole panel off I re contacted you..... As you know! I have heard nothing since and have made other arrangements. This thread is to review your workmanship and this is my experience. You contracted work out, did not check the job and were hostile to complaints. I have someone coming to plumb in the overflow this week as just want it fixed without too much stress.

Spending another afternoon working on the bodged job of fitting a bath by these guys. They left a large gap between the bath and the wall so no seal will hold. Grrrr Edited to add... Just found out that he did not plumb in the overflow and it's been going onto the floor for nearly a year. Edited 2 time(s). Last edit was today, 10:54am by Houseoflego.

Would Harris becoming co-ed with the boys school becoming a sixth form make the Harris schools more appealing?

Co-ed, non faith and non Harris please and possibly to include an ASD resource base. Put me down to be on list to be considered for committee. Have mailed James my details.

Hi, What do you give the woman who has everything... Except career direction following baby years? I'm a qualified occupational and aptitude assessor who is surrounded by people putting careers back together following having children. I'm really tempted to put together a 'career redirect' package, perfect for the new year. I trained in the savilleconsulting range and found my own feedback increadible useful. Unfortunately I have to pay for the tests, otherwise I would be offering free trials, I could provide an aptitude overview with a career development report for around ?250. It would include an initial consultation to choose the most useful reports, and the feedback session which would take around 40 min, all from the comfort of your own home or local cafe. Is this idea just that bit too 'out there'? Would it be something forumites would love or hate?

I did appeal! but apparently 'stopped', 'parked', or 'waiting', are all the same. So be warned ED!

Realty is I'll pay up, the letter is phrased to suggest that appealing again might cost me if I lose and who has time to bother! Off to eat ice cream and sulk!

Got the answer to the appeal. The charge stands, have to pay 60 for being still on the road for under 4 min while there was a vehicle infront of me! Southwark council your a classy act!

Sorry, yes stuck behind another vehicle! Thanks ianr for translation!

My appeal reply was excellent see below, honestly this is what I was sent by the council! Translation appreciated! ;潓瑵睨牡਍猼ㅴ Edited as did not realise it had my name etc in it!

A house on Dovedale Road was burgled that night too. Sounded like they knew what they were doing as they were in and out before the police arrived, the house clearly had an alarm!

Hi, I just got a penalty charge notice my car for being still on Hasler road for under 4 min. The picture shows a car infront of me blocking the road and it looks like i am in the car. I never get out on that road so its nuts. Anyone else had anything like this

Hi, I'm posting to recommend Ady 07961 981944 fitted two radiators, fast, friendly, reliable and fair price.

Its a small job, the master socket has been wacked once too often and now needs replacing but these things have gotten WAY too complicated for me to fix. Does anyone know a local reasonably prices telephone engineer?
