Ask what is their policy about going into parks where there maybe dogs off their leads.

Hobby craft- its past Ikea on the opposite side and maybe near an Argos/ TKmax/Habitat ( might be where the latter was)

From the Indie "Conservative MP Nadine Dorries. Conservative MP Nadine Dorries has already arrived in Australia in preparation for her appearance on I?m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! While David Cameron is unlikely to mind losing Nadine Dorries to the Australian jungle for up to a month as the Conservative MP competes in I?m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, the public (not least her Bedfordshire constituents) might take a different view. Dorries, who has already arrived in Queensland for the show, has refused to forego her parliamentary salary for the period, meaning that she'll receive as much as ?5,478 during her time on the programme (as well as expenses of around ?3,218), in addition to a fee of up to ?40,000." When I worked full time I was allowed 2 weeks paid leave in one go maximum. maybe 3 weeks if getting married. How can she get away with this? Surely she has to ask someone first? If Parliament cannot manage this then there should be an independent panel - preferably including people that work for companies as diverse as Ryanair and Poundland to oversee their employment contracts and explain you cannot walk away from the poeple you represent like this- she didn't even tell her constituency. We know from Louise Mencher that leaving employment as an MP is not possible- its time to overhaul it. Especially their pensions !

I really like the candle idea- I expect I will have to go to the big craft place near ikea and stock up? Darling Kirsty was on Womans Hour this morning telling us that these shops make crafts SO much more affordable.

err it was in the first post? ;)

ditto Rosie. But Gu is on special offer at Sainsburys..... I wonder if I could use them to make bird feeders- mix fat and seeds in? not sure how relatives would find that asa xmas present though. The seasoned salt sounds good but I am not sure it will last that long?

katie1997 - are you really Kirsty Allsop? off to the garden shed to experiment with wire........

I have about 14 of them now and thats a lot of things to wash up KK. I wondered if I could make some kind of food and give it away in them as Xmas presents. Not very good for jam- but maybe something else that lasts?

keem 'em coming guys.........

I seem to have rather a lot of these lovely little glass ramekin dishes which seem too nice to recycle.I'm sure I should be doing something crafty/ Christmas gifty with them. Anyone have any ideas they are willing to share?

She has obviously decided to jack in politics or knows her days are numbered and has decided to become a "personality" now,which will be her future career. Pathetic. I hope whe will not be drawing an MP's salary while in the jungle.

sorry I thought you were an optician. I expect a Dr would not want to admit to it on here. :\

I know I know its just that some dog owners are So virtuous after their dog walking they could spend their time with a human being. I've been badly bruised by dogs running at me chasing something/ another dog, had to change trousers , had trousers slathered over by clients labradors -and trod on their poo. I do walk friends dogs occasionally and keep them on the lead/ pick up the poo, and I wish them no harm. You have me on a bad day first mate. Still I do think some people could benefit from treating others as well as they treat dogs.

Ok-Otta what can i do to prevent pingueculae getting worse?

If only dog owners could give their love to a lonely / isolated person instead of a dog.

I would have agreed with you on this but some of the threads on this forum say - I let my child choose which school they went to - so for example if your child is lucky enough to get into alleyns and also charter and you offer them a choice and they choose alleyns, does that abdicate you as a parent and the responsablity lies with your child? Many of us we just went to the local school like all our friends. Money makes it more complicated doesn't it?

ever met a golfer? question answered.

well - its true-they are not men - they are BOYS!!!

don't get caught speeding over Tower Bridge the limit is 20 mph ( I know its usually too busy to go this fast but its a common mistake).

marmite chocolate salt black pepper

yes I'be seen the total its the split that seems low.the first term is the most expensive all those books.....

If you have a son/daughter at uni ( not in London ) do you know what the loan amount is for this term? there is some confusion as to the sum of ?1,089- sounds a bit low to me- anyone else know?

I don't know about grammar schools, but Greycoats school is not in Pimlico,it is more Westminster, about 10 min walk from Victoria, quite a lot of girls who go there get the train at HErne Hill/ Brixton in the morning.

I wonder if he ever confessed to his priest? That is a lot of guilt he must have been carrying, or were all the charitable acts to make up for it?
