  1. Have you spoken to the university?s accommodation office as they should be able to give advice to students in this position?
  2. Our 6 year old beagle boy goes to Pat's Paws also. He's picked up in the morning (they have a key to our flat) and dropped off in the afternoon, thoroughly tired out, but happy...we are in Forest Hill/Honor Oak and I think they cover most of this area
  3. Sorry to hear about this horrible incident and I hope all concerned haven't been leftvtraumatised. I'm not sure that the sexuality of the disgusting nobs is relevant. I mean, you wouldn't say by way of descriptor " I was having a drink with a cis/straight/heterosexual guy in a pub", would you?
  4. It may seem unfair or even cruel not to let dogs off their leads when out walking, but some dogs cannot be let free in parks. We have a 6 year old beagle who despite our efforts and probably well over a thousand quid spent on training just has no recall..As with dogs of his breed, he only has to spot or scent something enticing and he's off.... I've spent to much hours chasing after or hunting for him in the past - there was one memorable summers day at Blythe Hill park when he slipped his lead and ran amok among all the picnicking families, grabbing drumsticks and hotdogs and sandwiches and whatever else he could snatch, leaving me to deal with some very angry people... There was a time when he was younger when I thought that he had got the recal thing but this was after months of training. But then he started to not answer or come back, running off out of the park etc.. So we used one of those extra long leads so he could at least enjoy a bit of a run..we have tried letting him run free in gated dog parks or empty tennis courts but he gives us the runaround come when he's called and even offers of his favourite treats aren't enough to entice him.. A lot of people do get upset seeing him on his lead while their dogs run freely and both myself and husband have been met with abuse from other dog owners, and there have been some very nasty altercations. There's nothing we'd love more than to be able to let our dog roam freely in the park but we dare not let him do so, for his safety... All this is to say that some of us do have very good reasons for keeping our dogs on the leash when out and sometimes it would seem that a good many owners ought to do same...
  5. Looking for a good CV coach. Suitable recommendations welcomed. Thanks
  6. We've been using Shurgard for years (we sold our house when we relocated a few years ago, and put quite a lot into storage). We're back in the UK, and still using Shurgard as we don't have sufficient space in our temporary rented flat. Its quite cheap (look out for the special deals which can be very good)...and its safe, and secure too.

  9. Hi, just be aware that many couriers won't accept fragile items such as mirrors -even if insured. I bought and purchased an expensive mirror that broke while in transit. Lost out completely as I hadn't checked the list of restricted items. andmelbourne groover Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > I use my Hermes regularly also. I drop off at > Londis. Super easy.
  10. dogwalker, you need to state your experience - there are a lot of people out there who think dogwalker is a quick and easy way of making money but don't appreciate how difficult it is...it's also subject to local bye-laws as to the number of dogs you can walk at any one time (I say this in the hope that the 2/3 women who walk up to 10 dogs (mostly uncontrolled/uncontrollable) at my local park might just read this. Have you worked with dogs for long? Are you aware of the different needs and temperaments of the different breeds? How many dogs have you cared for, or are currently caring for? Apart from walking, what other activities would you do with them? Are you able to manage different dietary requirements e.g. RMD/BARF diets? I am asking because I am interested in such a service (though your walk only rate is almost double the usual. And which areas do you pick up and drop off from?
  11. Cassia made us the Chocolonutty delight for husbands's birthday.... ...and very scrummylicious it was too! Thanks, Cassia...went down very well with husband, and the rest of us! Will definitely be returning to you in future.

  14. Hi there, My friend and RHS trained gardener moved out of London last year and since then I've not had any luck finding a replacement gardener. I've had help to cut and clear throughout winter etc but I really need someone with more knowledge, who knows about plants and planting, soil types, etc. I'm in Forest Hill, nr to Honor Oak Park and Catford. Not a huge garden, but fairly mature. Flexible about days and times, but must be reliable, trustworthy, able and willing to work on won initiative, and beagle - tolerant. I can supply most tools. Would prefer independent gardener rather than agency/large company. Thanks
