  1. Nice idea, but as I'm disabled I prefer deliveries to my door. Otherwise it's a taxi there and back!
  2. No photograph taken and no video evidence of anyone approaching or ringing my doorbell all morning. I have made a complaint to EVRI, but just in case anyone has taken in or found some James Wellbeloved Senior dry catfood on their doorstep ... I am at the South Circular/Horniman end of Underhill.
  3. Apparently they are doing some engineering work on Freeview at the moment including Crystal Palace, so this might be why . Advice is not to rescan,but to wait. https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/science-technology/2055401/Freeview-TV-issues-signal-do-not-retune Also for problem check: https://www.bbc.co.uk/reception/problems-freeview-reception/#/Freeview

  15. How about a thick cork mat?
  16. Or you could fit them with A+B magnetic strips. I have diy secondary glazing for heat insulation rather than noise and fitted them with magnetic A+B strips. Also, if you'd like a less DIY job, on googling I found this kind of business with info on options: https://www.secondarydiyglazing.com/secondary-glazing-systems/
  17. You could try Pharmaxo Healthcare (tel: 01225 302188). Usually they would have a label with addressee though, and they always hand it over so not sure how you have come to have one left outside. They deliver both injection pens and sharps boxes for NHS. Just found a couple of alternative homecare providers who also deliver injections etc.: Healthnet Homecare 0800 083 3060 Sciensus 0333 103 9811

  23. There's a London-based [] on LinkedIn as well. Maybe you could contact her through LinkedIn??
  24. Article in today's Standard: 'Food prices set to rise almost 5% next year in new cost of living squeeze Supermarket prices will have shot up by 40% from 2020 to 2025 warns industry body in major threat to living standards' https://www.standard.co.uk/business/food-prices-inflation-cost-of-living-budget-national-insurance-b1199560.html
  25. Unfortunately no shows and disappearing buyers do happen on the forum as elsewhere. Sometimes life events interrupt plans (accidents, early baby arrivals etc. - both have happened to my buyers in the past!); other times people are just a little too casual. I find that in life event cases the buyer is usually very apologetic and I try to accomodate them. In the other cases I growl inwardly and see if anyone else bites!! I have found that my stress is lowered if I don't give out my address etc until a time and date for collection is made - not always a 100% guarantee, but it helps. As a side note, I'm sorry you were insulted. Personal remarks where we might be missing key information are never kind or helpful and best avoided!
