  1. cycle ride in richmond park? you used ot be able to hire the velodrome for an hour which was great fun.
  2. you will only be 5 months pregnant so you may not be that large- it might be better to get posh dress that is just a size larger which does not have a waistband- but comes in under your bust. if it is really posh i think there are a few hire shops in knightsbridge but sorry cant rememebr their names.
  3. we have just used a company whose tel no is 0845 2998877 for stanstead - it was about ?104 for 2 weeks. they were on time and the car seems fine- and our house not burgled.Try them
  4. hmm -it was a 10 year old boy sitting in passenger seat- when I caught him up and asked him what he had said his mum - who was driving said - "leave him alone hes just a kid" and drove off quick. i wanted him to get out the car and apologise-even better if his Mum had made him get out and apologise.
  5. what do you do when some one shouts some kind of abuse at you as they overtake you and then you catch them up at the traffic lights? I have started to cycle a lot more and I feel like getting a water pistol.
  6. we use eco balls for things like lightly used sheets -also for bath mats.
  7. funny, thats what the people in dulwich village said about East Dulwich 100 years ago
  8. may be people that own businesses can get loyal customers to come and occupy their premieses tonight.
  9. i registered for groupon and they bombard you with offers its true, but quite often there is the offer of a photography course in soho at weekends if that is anyhelp..
  10. name only. it will get lost in the play ground/ getting changed for sports - or on a play date at friends house.
  11. year 8 is not critical-you could put her name down everywhere and home school till a place comes up. youc ould try looking further afield at other local authorities- some people sent their children to schools in wandsworth/ wetmisnter/ greenwich.
  12. because you have a 66 yr lease-as I said your freehodlers may be poorly informed- so maybe you can keep quiet?
  13. of course they will ask for money for an extension - about 10% of the value of the long lease.
  14. the vendor must have owned the flat for 2 years for you to qualify to extend your lease- you have no automatic right to buy a share of the freehold. I am assuming you have less than 80 years left? The freeholders may well ask for money to buy a share of the freehold-depends how amateur they are/ well advised.If there is less that 83 years left I would get the leaseholders to serve the notice- unless the freeholders are willing to enter into a voluntary agreement to let you extend- but it may be at a higher price.Be careful to check how the freehold is made up - some of them are badly done- run by people who have not got a clue what they are responsible for. Does the person you are buying from have a share of the freehold? you say everyone does but maybe not?
  15. FYI I did not record it. But I wondered about it!
  16. washing dry in an hour- I love it.
  17. i was surprised it was mouth/ throat cancer, he said he could not appreciate fine wines anymore.But beer was good ;-)
  18. did anyone hear Danny on desert island discs? what did you think?
  19. try to do other things than baby things - keep up with arts/ news/ sports so that when you go out with work people you dont talk about being a mum all the time. they hate it, they really do.
  20. my employers have broken the law! will now have to spend lots of money to prove it.
  21. all of hte above, but hte sooner the better.
  22. pickle you indeed lucky, my mum had ovarian cancer too- knew there was something wrong-ignored it to begin -then dr couold not find it- dead 3 months later.
  23. my mum refused chemo- she did not want all her hair to fall out- she was 70 and had it everywhere- they offered it as a last chance but she just said no. i think its very personal. but the wheat grass stuff etc is clutching at straws. waste of money.trouble is the balance between "not wanting to be any trouble " v wanting them to be around ( with all the psychologiacl side effects thrown in). is she happy with her life? is she a fighter?
  24. i did have a quick look in evans today but realise you need to have a bike to sit on to get a feel for it- I have ben advised to see lincoln at brixton cycles, but not sure if thats 'cos he a handsome fella or he is good at saddles! the brooks saddle looks like the equivalent of leather hiking boots- lots of wearing in!.
  25. i think kensal green way might be the last outpost- probably better to loookat properties with their own parkingif it is very important to you. you know we will eventually all have to pay to park on the roads.
