Atanas did my bathroom for me last year and I am still thrilled with how it looks. Job involved replacing bath, shower, sink, shower screen and all associated plumbing, new lighting, wiring in a lighted cupboard, tiling (lots as I had picked metro tiles) and painting. I will definitely get him back to do my kitchen when I can afford it. His phone number is 07809 776638.

The consultation wasn't very well advertised from memory, I think I had to go and find it online. I got the same email as the above, but I had written to the council to object as well as taken part in the consultation.

I just got an email from James McAsh saying the CPZ for Dulwich Hill isn't going ahead. In the email it says:- I recognise that the council’s previous proposals fell short. Through the course of the consultation, residents in many areas told us that they did not need or want controlled parking. We listened to these concerns and undertook more work to understand parking pressure and traffic levels in these areas. This work supports the view of residents that controlled parking is not currently needed in the Dulwich Hill area.

Doesn't exactly give one confidence in ordering anything that needs to come via Royal Mail though does it? Would everyone redeliver? intexasatthe moment Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > "others, which were attached by elastic band to my package,for houses further down my street" > > that does happen occasionally ,and TBH I think it's pretty forgiveable at the moment . -

At the weekend I received four items, one for me, the others, which were attached by elastic band to my package,for houses further down my street - and not just next door, the highest number was twenty doors further down the street. I played postie and re-delivered them.

I wasn't trying to be all snowflakey, but there's no need to go making out one group is the only one to suffer when the vast majority of people are adversly affected in some way by the financial mess the country is in. The policians all seem to go on about "hard working families" as if other groups don't matter, I don't understand it. Maybe they think they are more likely to change who they vote for at the next election??

I wouldn't read the lack of comment on EDF as meaning people didn't care. To me if just felt inappropriate to be discussing online, it's not like there was any lack of clarity about the culprit or concern about risk to other people in the area so what was there to discuss? I went into the French Cafe where she worked and donated to the collection they were doing for her family to help them look after her daughter and passed on my condolences to the staff, that seemed a more constructive reaction.

Why only families? Do people who live alone not have energy bills or mortgages?

Fourth day on the trot receiving post. More deliveries this week than the the previous month. Today's delivery included a small parcel (not a tracked one) that I ordered well after posting hours two days ago, was dispatched yesterday. Seems the extra staff someone mentioned on the thread are making a differnce on my route at least.

I have had post 3 days running this week, up till now this year it's been once a week so seems to be improving a bit.

I got a parcel today that was posted about 5 weeks ago as well as having had more Christmas cards this week. Still not convinced I have had all the cards yet.

A small improvement this week in as much as I have had two deliveries of post rather than just one large one. On the negative side I am still getting items posted pre Christmas and think there are still a few more of those to come. Today's delivery did include a couple of items posted last week - which is still poor, but better than sent last month. To the point about tracked deliveries, I agree. Ordered a couple of items in the sale yesterday and I have been told to expect them tomorrow. Tracked of course.

I live in a half house and it as Toldyouso describes. To keano77s point, my house shares a water supply with my neighbours so we have one stopcock in my house and they need a spare key in case of water emergencies when I am not around. It's fine as they are lovely neighbours and I am happy for them to have it, but if I had bad neighbours then it could be an issue. It also means at times we suffer from low water pressure - e.g. if they flush the toilet while I am in the shower I can find the water dropping to a trickle. And water metering isn't an option. Other utilities are separately supplied and metered, although there was a still an issue wirh wiring for my electric meter running through their side so I can't have a smart meter without someone having to knock holes in their wall to install. I would definitely ask questions about this sort of thing before committing. I would be worried if my neighbours announced thet were moving, I might not be as lucky agsin.

I got 4 Christmas cards in the post today and I suspect that isn't the last of them as there are some friends who always send that I haven't received from yet. Am on Underhill Road.

The poster the OP uploaded to their post described the course as intro to body sculpting and weight lifting so I don't think Alice was the one drawing a link between the two.
