Out of interest did you try any of the independent stores between DKH Sainsbury and Coop Forest Hill Road? For example as of this evening Barry Road Store had a reasonable supply of essentials. They haven't hiked prices and apparently have new stock coming in daily. It may well be easier to avoid the big brand multiples at the moment.

If you want to learn to drive, or get a refresher you must hire Silvano Bozza's time. I contacted him in spring 2018 and he was full. I reached out to other instructors, I either had no response or they too were full. Then to my surprise Silvano contacted me asking if I still needed lessons, I still haven't heard from anyone else! While I had driven in the states for 17 years (manual too), I had not driven for the last 10 years I have been living in London. The thought of driving on the left side of the road, with narrow roads and cars parked everywhere caused me considerable panic. After a few lessons, I gained confidence even though some days I thought 'I am NEVER going to pass' - the lessons seemed really hard. But Silvano was patient, clear with instruction and even corrected my bad habits. I probably should have practiced in my own time more, but he prepared me so well for the practical test, I passed with only 1 fault (stopped at red light too close to a parked car). Silvano is not just teaching you how to pass the practical test, he is teaching you how to drive: safely, confidently and happy! We also had great laughs during our lessons. I can't say enough about Silvano, if you can wait for his availability you should, you won't be sorry.

I would also recommend Shutterbaby photography with Sara-Jane. She was on time and even though my son was tired and a bit moody she managed to capture some amazing pictures. Really quick turnaround of the prints and images- I will use her again

I visited @999 - and i am disappointed. It is only Monday and the varnish is already chipping.. Maybe its because they didn't add a top coat and seemed to rush the process.. I will try Glamorous nails next..

Looking at various builders and developers for a side return & loft extension. Found Buildteam who seem reasonable in price and professional. Has anyone used them?
