I know what you mean. When I was growing up we used this. We had it for over twenty years and it never skipped a beat. My mum told me she threw it away two years ago becausae it was so old.... still working.... *sigh* I nearly cried. It was what began my love of cooking.

I went here yesterday and loved it. All the stall holders were friendly and so happy to see some customers. I really do think it gets lost in the Lordship Lane haven of shops. For all you new mums or ones with toddlers. There is a great coffee shop there that was empty when I went. I think it would be a great place for yummy mummies to meet up. (And it will not annoy Matt)

Don't worry - in a few years us 'breeders' will have teenagers. Then how much are they going to annoy you.

Matt - did you have a bet with your mates that you could get the most posts in a day?

I've only just started to be the one with a child in a pub in the last year. I already had thought that the 'no smoking' policy would change the culture of pub life. I agree that sometimes it can be annoying to have a screaming child/small toddler running round whilst you are trying to have a quiet drink in the pub. (I was once a singleton too.... muttering 'will someone shut that child up' under my breath) But I'm from Oz and kids running around the pub was normal when I was growing up. They usually had an outdoors bit with some kids play equipment, we always sat at the table to eat our food and usually we were quite well behaved. (Still when I was 18,19,20 they annoyed me) I think my acceptance came with my age and the great ability to block out certain noises. I don't know of the pub you are talking about but I found the best way to deal with small children annoying my evening when I was younger was to move to a different part of the pub. I think you'll find that people taking their kids out is increasing all over the country - not just the East Dulwich breeding experiment - (or I seem to see a lot more families out) now that you can't smoke inside. I'm not saying I'd take my 10 month old to the pub to watch a rugby match but I don't think it is all that bad to take her out to dinner once in a while.

Right... the lady said they are going to call me back tomorrow morning at 9.14am??? Errrr.... I would like a good GP to move to please. Any recommendations?

I have been on hold with Melbourne Grove for 10 minutes and now the phone just rings out..... APPARENTLY they are open to 7.00pm but it seems that 17.45 is a much better time to ignore my calls. (6)

I heard the news today oh boy...... Thanks EDF!!!!

I have organised my husband's birthday party.

Just listened to some of her stuff. It was great. I'm hooked.

If no one claims the kitty - I'd love to take it.

I have made cups of tea for everyone in my office.

Eating raw pastry :-$

Square pie company! (Yes, yes I know I am Australian)

Mr CamberwellOz said that he heard they were 'set free' off the set of African Queen. Is it too early in the morning to be gullible? Or is he correct?

You could always make your own HonaloochieB. Although if you are thinking about cucumber pickle, I'm sure the hangover has already set it. :)-D

Sounds like aphids to me. Ladybirds eat them but if you don't have some of them flying about garlic spray also works a treat.

Ah funny - no, no the food.... I promise. Pray for my soul

Another trek but I really like Simplicity for breakfast Simplicity Although 3 times out of four, I'd go to Franklins. Blue Brick Cafe? Everytime I go there my breakfast comes to me cold.

I think you should all make a trip to Oriental City. The best Thai I have ever tasted. Oriental City I know it is a long way from here but believe me - you will never be dissapointed. Such tasty food and great value for money.
