  1. SO HAPPY for you all! We were thinking about him today, so I can tell my daughter that he's home safe and sound :-)
  2. 😊 I'm checking that put tomorrow!
  3. Good tip. Thanks. I'll have a look. I'll be doing it myself and want something relatively easy as I've got walls to tile too....
  4. It's concrete underneath. thanks for your comments. Thinking of lino rather than vinyl and to go keen on tiles which are cold.... Can you still get it in rolls/ sheet rather than tiles?
  5. thanks Beansprout. The floor is up already and it's not local - sorry
  6. I'm indecisive about what to use for the kitchen floor. I had solid wood, but want to change. Who has tiles, LVT, laminate - and what works well please? Thanks Jules
  7. I think pretty much 99% of new parents do - EVEN THOUGH they are exceptionally bad for the environment.
  8. farts at the darts. brilliant. Had enough of grown ups trying to be serious and failing... why not just NOT try
  9. Greece, if you can demonstrate there were faults that were not highlighted and that with the recommended repairs that the goods were not fit for purpose, you may well have a case for the small claims court. I do feel your pain and do wish you well in resolving this. One would hope that there was an element of goodwill on behalf of regular and long term forum members.
  10. You should know that you have a responsibility to inspect items before you hand over money. The seller said the chairs weren't in good repair and the table was scratched so you should have checked carefully first. I hope you told the police that the seller had actually pre-warned you but you ignored it
  11. indeed. I would not like her job.
  12. it's neither Brexit, nor a Deal
  13. I get the bus to Victoria, takes less than an hour from Goose Green. Presume you checked out transport before you moved?
  14. stalking
  15. if anyone witnesses anything suspicious and can get car reg then it's a police matter. especially useful if it's a regular activity (would anyone be that stupid?)
  16. Dare I say it, Merry Christmas Mr Fox. Hope you get the rest you need, Jules
  17. Would be nice if it blended in with the existing houses. It's rather garish. You could even make a small access road down the right of it so the other two houses behind it could build on their gardens too - they might want to at a later date. This is removing any opportunity for them.
  18. the joss stick is interesting - I'll check that out. It could well be plaster as the flat is old. We've checked for obvious gaps and can't find any.
  19. it's free, if you go at certain times or are 60+ Register here. You also get free gym if you live in Southwark. https://www.everyoneactive.com/southwark-free-swim-gym/
  20. Too little too late. I can hardly believe they would be so callous and thoughtless. Some people think they can add a "sorry" onto such a deed and all will be forgiven and forgotten.
  21. no, it's just the two flats that share it.
  22. Thanks all, I will get a filter for him - there are some pretty cheap-ish ones on amazon. The tenant is friends with the landlord, and the landlord has been round but of course there was no smoking on that day so nothing for him to be concerned about. He's said he will come any time but needs 24 hours notice at least, which of course isn't ever going to allow him to experience it first hand. As to the stealing, they denied it, I put up cameras, their landlord had builders in who cut the wires, which they denied. It's tiresome and it's not healthy. I hope the filter will help and I will get the police to visit, visibly.
  23. My friend is suffering from his neighbour smoking. It's strong in the shared hallway and he can smell it when he is in his flat. He's on medication and this is making him feel sick. We've looked around his flat to see if there are any gaps it could eb coming in, but can't find any. We've spoken to the tenant, who denies smoking and has since been behaving aggressively - things are getting stolen (post, mainly and his doormat!!!). Personally, I don't know what he can do, but if anyone has any views please let me know.

Maybe on factor to consider but other countries that have legalized have reported a decrease in violent crime.
