Jessica Tate? from soap- I wish they would rerun it

Jewellery is a tricky one for me- I have to write it a few times- jewelry/ jewellry/jewellery-agghhh

"like"

If another estate agent tells me "it is not a problem" ( when I tell them I will call them later) I will not be responsible for my actions .grrrr.

It was a long time ago but yes great. My son is 19 he went when he was 7.

Isn't it just a good opportunity to broadcast your absence so someone can come and burgle your house while you are out having a nice time??

I think you will need some food hygeine quaifications if you are catering. http://www.food.gov.uk/business-industry/caterers/food-hygiene

Can we add "being able to whistle?" or is that just a very attractive attribute?

Dear Fergju We run local English Classes in Dulwich, particularly for au pairs, which means she will be able to meet other local au pairs. The huge advantage of our classes is that they are affordable and local, so the au pairs do not have to travel an hour to school and an hour back, which bites into their day. We follow the school terms, so that lessons are in 5-6 week blocks. You are very organised looking for lessons so early, but please look at our facebook page to see what kind of lessons we have. https://www.facebook.com/pages/English-Teaching-in-Dulwich/1509284502625768. You can email us at: englishteachingindulwich.co.uk. We look forward to hearing from you.

TRy and get one with slightly bigger wheels - I think they brake/handle better. Also if you are a car driver, you will feel safer with a slightly bigger engine. Such as http://www.motorscooterguide.net/Honda/SH150i/SH150i.html

For a cheaper alternative, has anyone used these and would you recommend them? http://www.jewson.co.uk/kitchens-bathrooms/bathrooms/showers-screens-trays/showerwalls-panels/products/SASWPN19/showerwall-panel-2440-x-1200mm-premier-aqua-ice/ I am about to arrange for elderly parents bath to be removed and shower fitted- this seems like a better fix than retiling 2 walls completely. Any advice welcome. Thanks

rather than a ball I went to Latchmere leisure centre and jumped up and down with the wave machine in the swimming pool-and brisk walking

Just make those microwave cakes in them and give them away as presents at xmas?

Do you know about: http://www.employ-ability.org.uk/about-us they include autism and will offer some help

Used to take the car and four passengers for ?5 return a long time ago, I seem to remember I had to buy the Sun every day for a week though...

It is what we had as a family every week until we left home. Then when we leave home we have it with our new housemates to try and show we can do it .It is our comfort food. When we go home our parents make it to say "welcome home , we love you". It is in our DNA.

Thanks Random bloke. I will print off your email! There is no way I would try for more than you suggest.I think your brother was very ambitious.I actually took Dads dvd player / recorder away as he could not manage that.( back to VHS and how sorry am I that I threw old clean VHS tapes away.) Not even Telegraph puzzles. Email would only be for us to send photos. I have never heard of teamviewer-thanks for that.Although I am not sure how much help I would be at this end if I don't have a similar device? ( see, I am pretty bad aren't I ;)) I think as the family is splitting up and moving abroad we are thinking skype to stay in touch, and when parents say " yes I'm fine" but have actually deteriorated. Or when they say "I have had a letter" and you want to see it too. Im just trying to think ahead...

My Sindys, with all their clothes ( many handmade by relatives and neighbours), in a box, tucked up with a handknitted blanket. In the loft. Never appealed to my sons :( ( is it feasible to wait/ hope for granddaughters???)

Henry that seems very sensible- do you have an i pad? would you recommend a particular size/ type? only wife needed - ? thanks

This is a very tricky age to buy for, if they dont live in a big town and like nature how about something gardening/ wildlife/ walking? the only swiss children I met this age range were into plants and flowers etc, BUt not sure how true that is for the whole of the country. clothes? sox/ pjs?

He is in Cromer, Norfolk- Budgens have just stopped, and apparently they ( other newsagents) just cant get reliable staff to deliver anymore ( but they were charging 15p a day for delivery which was far too cheap). Lucky Londoners aren't we?

Jeremy , my sister in law says she has a kindle fire for reading her Mail on...that did make me think, but as he is 90 I kind of think we should buy something now, set up and monitor for 3 days at Christmas. Which i pad is better?- it's a balance : ease of holding it v size to read it.

I was hoping another forum user had helped their elderly parents with some kind of tablet. ( I think a laptop will be frightening/ cumbersome for him). My Dad is 90 and computers have passed him by, he has the most basic mobile phone. He is 100% alert , drives and reads the Telegraph and does the crossword everyday. BUT his legs and lungs are going and some days he is not able to get out the house. I ordered broadband yesterday and I think people have mentioned tablets? It has to be easy to use- but the things he will do is- read the Telegraph (- if he cant get anyone to drop his paper off), skype/hangouts ( family around the world) and possibly e mail, but this would be us sending him photos), I don't imagine him ever sending an e mail himself. He does not read books, only the newspaper. We might get him to watch tv on it eventually if his legs get worse. I don't have a tablet myself but I need something which has a clear and uncomplicated screen, is easy to use, and not too heavy.Any recommendations please?
