  1. Why are you targetting me? ;) I would need to see references.
  2. I am loathe to order using Amazon- but the "Book People" have sold out of the book I want ( and it is twice the Amazon Price). Does any one have any recoomendation for buying ( discounted) on line? Thanks
  3. In 1982 at The Dept of Environment we dictated our letters to the typing pool by the telephone- we dialed different numbers to rewind the tape/playback- it was awful. The letters came back 4 days letter. If there was a mistake and it was urgent we went to the lower ground floor and there was a very quiet room with about 10 women all wired up with earphones to machines typing our letters- You were not allowed to speak to them - you just put your amended letter in a big in tray with "urgent" written on it. It looked joyless.
  4. 4 years later and it was easy!! homebirth- more control - very natural. I WAS LUCKY. I know. I think a lot is to do about knowing your body and asserting yourself instead of letting some vindictive health worker take over.
  5. Very brave in this weather. Are you giving your hair to a charity too?
  6. mince is your saviour. Batch cook a load of mince with onion and cut up small other veg/pulses and tomatoes/ passata. them divide up in plastic containers . freexe and you can leave as is/ add chilli beans/ curry powder as you will. this does not take a lot of space up. Another goodone is a pasta bake/ shepherds pie. I make a big one of each of these and 2 small indiv ones and freeze them. I always have a little container of frozen breadcrums with parmesan cheese in the freezer to sprinkle over at the last minute. Cassroles too- just cut the veg up small.
  7. I think in SOuthwark Cathedral cryot/ cafe there is a nice place too.
  8. so eloquently put Sharon.
  9. The main advantages of Dulwich Village are the huge amount of sports facilities-particularly outside spaces. Velodrome, Football, rugby, tennis and cricket. Gardens are generally bigger. It feels more open.
  10. Might it be that when he is lying it is to give you the answer you want to hear,and that he he too scared( or something like that) to tell you what you don't want to hear? Similar to me saying to a teenager: "Will you get pick up the dry cleaning?" His reply " of course " I get home say " did you get dry cleaning?" he says " no, it was closed early today" ( no idea what the truth is - but its easier for him to say that than accept any responsabilty for not getting it.

  13. Is that the trinity qualification? I think Twin in Lewisham. pm me for more info.
  14. perhaps the question should be " at what stage do retire, sell your house and leave london- releasing the equity as your pension to live on?" and do you buy a small 2 bed property so they can only come and sleep on the sofabed...............?? They don't fly the nest- the nest is moved.
  15. I dont know - if they paid for you to go there it might be quite nice??
  16. Hmmm. I wonder if Tony Blair ever thinks about this.
  17. i wonder if you can make a phone work so that she can only call a few people ( family) and then for all other numbers she has to out a code in?then the sheltered carers could come and activate the code for her? in supermarkets there is a phone where you can only call the taxi- so must be possible? I do sympathise.
  18. I don't want more libraries- I just want to retain them-and open at the fantastic hours that Lordship Lane is- they are great - access to a pc- wi fi- and all those books which young children need.
  19. LIBRARIES LIBRARIES LIBRARIES
  20. I do hate fussy adult eaters ! Recently met a vegetarian( ok) who did not like broccoli, olives or tomatoes OMG talk about hard work. Not allergic just did not like. She was from New York- and then her Mum did not like sauces or spicy food AGGHHHHHH.
