thanks :-)

I'm looking for recommendations for a product from someone who has done this please - my kitchen floor needs levelling 3mm at most - too much choice of product and no reviews. Thanks JB

Is self service the same as online/ using your card? Or cash? If the former, you will have the proof from your bank (even if it's dating back years). Ask Southwark to check where those payments were allocated on their system. If it's cash then they should still be able to audit it

so I guess the answer to the question, robbin, is No, you haven't tried silk bedding.

really? Who would bear the cost of that - and besides, it would encourage people dumping stuff, and likely reduce the freecycling that goes on.

we only have relatively blunt knives and manage quite well.

that's how the plague reached epic proportions - but it was cats and dogs then. They're probably just noisier as it's cub season

leave it where it is and the bugs will love it! If it's huge, you could chop some of it down and leave the logs in a pile.

Children should be able to cycle in the park . They're hardly going to be expert, are they - and besides, should not have to avoid dogs off their lead in an area where there are notices saying 'Keep your dog on a lead'. I hope the dog owner apologised. I would have been mortified if I'd caused a child to be hurt.

I work when my kids are at school :-(

I had a contracting office job and had to sit in a corridor without a desk and the stuff balanced on my kneee. I left.

as in, mum's that need a day out without kids, or playdates?

one of the Lidos has a kids pool.

Foolish 'oldies' are probably worse as one would hope they have grown out of it by now. Foolish youth need to be given direction, shown a better way of being, be set an example, guided, nurtured, helped, shown error of their ways.

there's a very big difference between the natural pecking order of life, with animals hunting and people killing animals for fun. but you know that, which is probably why you're baiting us all with your inappropriate arguments - inappropriate as they have no bearing to the topic in point. it's a fact that people who maim and abuse animals go on to abusing people - not all, but some. there is no argument at all in saying people should just go about their business and turn a blind eye when they have witnessed cruelty. in fact, it's irresponsible and that behaviour in itself should be condemned.

Thanks mums. I think we'll be going down Rye Lane for a wig as well - just so she realises she can change her hair at whim with no dire consequences.

Good lord. Scammers are one thing but what these kids were doing is disgusting and I can't believe people would just watch. I'd probably have stopped the traffic while calling the police. You did well

I did say no, hence the tears. Glad she's made her own choice not to.

Thank you both. I didn't think I'd be able to say no, for reasons stated but she's been given alternatives.... I sent her to her sister's room -she's got an app whet you can play with make up /hair colour etc. She has now opted for a new style and highlights.... I feel I like I've been given a reprieve. Until the next thing. I guess the need for independence is strong, given she sees her older sister having more freedom.

We've had tears over it, so it definitely means a lot to her but she is so beautiful and her hair is golden blond, so I'm worried about it ever coming out. She's just thirteen...

Sounds brilliant!

Looking forward to hearing your verdict Wayne 😀

Fair enough. Guess everyone's different.

I know - I'm not going to go through all the obvious things, but removing Junk from their title (i.e. main selling point) would be a good start. Fast Food, maybe. Junk food - even McDonald's avoid labelling their offerings as junk food - and they are the definition
