  1. I've just been to the garden mentioned, absolutely no cages or foxes... Fertile imaginations?!
  2. It's Gristwood and Toms, I believe. They felled a tree in my neighbours property which is council owned. He worked on Barry Road and said a lot of those trees are diseased. Not sure if I believe that, though, judging by the wholesale carnage of that beautiful avenue of trees.
  3. If they're children's books how about taking them to kings college hospital children's ward or A&E dept?
  4. The same problem with p13 quite often, obviously ahead of schedule and driving irritatingly slowly!
  5. This is interesting, I've always wondered about these half houses. By the looks of the photo it still looks like two houses to me - the windowsills are different, as are the curtains. To me it looks like it is two houses.
  6. Thanks Leopardjf, Julian has been and fixed our computer. Brilliant service, couldn't recommend higher!
  7. I'm in a similar situation (two flats, shared freehold. We have a flat-share builldings insurance policy with Stephen Lower Insurance. We pay around ?600 a year between us.
  8. I'm just about to take my poor cat to get injected. I've been combing him to get them off him but he goes back out into the garden and they just re-colonise him. I've had trouble with fleas in the garden because of the foxes... Every morning I go out and spy one on my foot!. Good to hear for better sprays for the house!
  9. you can get logo uniform here: http://www.yourschooluniform.com/schools/GoodrichCommunitySchoolSE220EP/ Though, as long as the colours are correct you can get uniform anywhere
  10. Found on Saturday 28th July. Hope it can be reunited with it's owner!
  11. Are these classes available for 6 and 9 year olds? (the ages of my two daughters!)
  12. Haven't been able to find any threads - does anyone recommend a children's party entertainer? My nearly 6yr old has requested at very short notice!
  13. I am about to change to a local fruit and vegetable delivery service, so much of my recycling is supermarket packaging
  14. I forgot to put out my recycling this week - now have two weeks to wait for mountain to be collected!
  15. just an observation... that made me laugh out loud
  16. In regards to our particular burglary, witnessed by our daughter and leading to no prosecution: I have just been speaking to the lawyer at the CPS in charge of this case and basically, it's all down to being unable to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he did actually take our property - the balance of probability is just not a concrete enough factor when the principles of british law are to ensure that the innocent are not imprisoned - "We would rather that two guilty men go free than an innocent man go to jail..." This man will certainly continue to burgle and I can only hope that he slips up enough on one of these occasions to finally put him away.
  17. I keep taking too long to post and missing the slot that I intended to post in!!! Novice forumite!
  18. The letter I received cited three burglaries that he was involved in. I don't know any more details regarding what was taken.
  19. I've lived here for 7 years and have been burgled twice! ianr: my phone was returned, not the money, police don't give back money. I don't know about the other property or whether it was returned. I suppose it's a genuine problem when there are no fingerprints to prove he had taken them, but then any self-respecting burglar probably wears gloves, right? Either he or his accomplice was on bail for previous burglaries and even that seems not enough to get him off the streets. In all, it's an utter waste of time, money and effort. I can't imagine how disheartening police work must be at times.
  20. The person who burgled our house and frightened my daughter also carried out another two burglaries on the same night. I've just received a letter from the CJS to inform me that no action is being taken. So, if you happen to be a burglar, hiding under a car at 3am with several items of stolen property and a few hundred pounds in your pocket - don't worry! What a joke and what do I tell my daughter when she eventually asks me what's happened to him?
  21. apparently was a burst water main on lordship lane... all normal now but we did have murky water coming through for a couple of hours
  22. I think a tattoo shop would be better around Bellenden Road, it's rather trendy round those parts and has an arty vibe... just my penneth's worth :)
