Jules-and-Boo

yes - sorry both - I don't know what I was thinking - I was actually doing two things at once, but not concentrating properly. Three actually.

DF.....do you really mean all the locals in costume bras?

Ikea

was accessory to the crime of hot wiring a tractor as the tent was too far away...

you could always borrow a cat and they woudl quickly disappear. having said that , if my cat catches one she doesn't really 'get it' and just sits on the little thing and suffocates it. practically, figure out where the gaps are - under kitchen units and so on and plug them http://everydayroots.com/how-to-get-rid-of-mice - /how-to-get-rid-of-mice some good ideas here

glue traps are really cruel.

the title gave me no clues to it being "FOR ROSY'S EYES ONLY"....

finding an ice-cream in the freezer the kids had missed :-)

Aerie - you're a month late. The secret of comedy is timing, but I don't think that excuses you trying to open this up again.

I know this is about walks, but the website might be informative for cycling routes? http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,1674825,1674850#msg-1674850

a simple solution would be to introduce a one way system (yes! for people!).... those getting off use the walkway - those getting on use the front stairs to the platforms. the little time delay in exiting the staion from the train should reduce congestion from each train - i.e. those getting on and off don't use same stairs at same time.

In which case just take her Zipcard. It would be pretty mean of a guard to bother a young person travlling alone. You could always write a letter with your details on, should the situation arise and to avoid your daughter feeling uncomfortable.

Try 'meetme' website - there are lots of groups /activities (for almost everything!) There's an EDF Curry Club. http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?20,78792,1701221#msg-1701221 Maybe you could start something up! There have been a few similar posts. Forum drinks have been mentioned. http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?20,1684338,1687122#msg-1687122

You couldn't make it up. They probably saw the teapot and thought they'd "reinvent" it for coffee. Can you imagine, Cafe Nero selling a DIY latte?

is brunch served on a section of surfboard? Could be a new spin on 'Surf and Turf' #no-plates

of course - yes you can represent yourself - but I would gather that if the OP is already physically ill then the thought - let alone the act - of confrontation would be too much. Court itself is a big thing. I've been in a similar situation and sometimes, it's fine to get help and support - let someone else have that to deal with instead. Better to try and sort it out first, without even going there. A little chat with the police might just help....

correct - rather daunting though. And you would have to pay your own legals, unless you win and get it paid by your neighbours :-( https://www.gov.uk/ how-to-resolve-neighbour-disputes / use-a-mediation-service the link I sent earlier wasn't in full - the above points directly to the page - you will need to mediate as a precursor for taking it any further anyway - so I suggest you try this The police should be able to help - I'm sure they've dealt with similar, if not worse, so I'm sure they'll be supportive.

depends on type of tickets bought - did you use a Young Persons Railcard or other? If o, you'll need that. If you're concerned otherwise, she shouldn't need proof of age to travel.

look at this website https://www.gov.uk/how-to-resolve-neighbour-disputes/use-a-mediation-service It's clearly a real problem to you and being told to mind how to perceive it is not the solution. I wouldn't let my kids annoy my neighbours, it's disrespectful.

sounds like a lovely family meal :-) We had dinner at a relatively posh friend's and the garlic from the kiev squirted out onto the wall.... Shock easily became the comedy moment .... as it should have been....

when people write 'been' instead of 'being' - they probably say it too but it sounds the same. example - the grass is been mowed as we speak. It's incorrect and really bugs me (not to the point of annoyance, so maybe it doesn't qualify for this OP?)

I thought that was just practical! With kids if the tv is on - they don't pay attention to food.....

If I have friends round, I serve it in dishes on the table, everyone helps themselves - but then it's generally a bit more laid back as kids involved and other mums.... We don't have formal dinners. Is that a modern thing, or are we just not posh? At least we eat together every day - and have friends join us as much as we can. No eating in front of the TV - have to eat at dining table. Christmas is the only exception - and that's at my sister's house.....and even then it's pretty relaxed.
