  1. yes just old m and s stuff- and you get an m and s voucher- maybe other shops should do it with other charities.
  2. its still great! get rummaging.
  3. Are you going at Easter? Beautiful place, some amazing parades where catholics dresed like the klu klux klan take the statues of saints out of churches and walk them round the streets dressed up - you can hardly move- it was a bit worrying if you could not see what was in the middle of the crowd to begin with!! Toledo for a day trip by trian is excellent, also the station which has been turned into a botanic garden is good. Beware the scams on the underground where you need to watch out for pick pockets.
  4. If a 12 year old does that, you should be asking why? it is attention seeking behaviour (IMO). It is not just a matter of punishment you have to do something else- and quick if it is your son.
  5. yes i have just let it cool and thrown out in old yoghurt pot in bin, i have not refried with it.i suppose i could keep it at the back of the fridge for next time. I'll try it next week.
  6. NO I have both employed and dispatched teenagers to babysit. I dont think you can have.
  7. What does everyone do with the leftover fat from cooking your chicken? in the winter I soak up old bits of bread and put out for the birds. but when the weather is warmer they dont need it. i cant compost it so wonder what everyone else does? ( I use olive oil to cook it in). Not the most exciting thread I know,but I have a jam jar of it in the kitchen.
  8. Hah I was so lucky I had a babysitter/nanny who offered to do the ironing for a bit extra-she was an older woman who liked to do things. it was the first time I had left my baby who was 4 months old.However I still think if I had a babysitter and knew they were in for an easy night of watching tv I would offer them a bit more for doing a pile of ironing at the same time. Of course if they had to make supper and put 2 toddlers to bath/ bed I would not ask-thats enough!
  9. best one is a babysitter who will do your ironing at the same time..........
  10. never used a top and tailing bowl- 2 margarine containers were fine. I found a plastic doughnut type hting you stick down your nurisng bra really good- as the baby feeds from one nipple you tend to leak from the other- you can collect that milk and freeze it for when you are not around. not sure what they are called but if a freind had not told me there would have been a lot of wasted milk.
  11. Im pretty sure a white shirt is a part of every capsule wardrobe. maybe the floral stuff can come from scarves/ accessories. Good luck.
  12. what a great idea for any woman who is about to return to work after a break! how much moeny are we talking about for a day?any idea?
  13. there is a service at the glades shopping centre bromely for a personal shopper that does all the shops there. i think it is free and it might give you a wider range of budgets.
  14. i think thats the 39 steps isnt it Peckham Rose?
  15. i don'tknow ????'s I check my numbers everyweek!!
  16. a lovely stucco fronted house in notting hill that backs onto the private communal gardens.( that film has a lot to answer for)
  17. i think there is an electric devicethat looks good- i have seen it at the pharmacy next to the half moonpub in herne hill.
  18. results arent everything.Just hang around outside each schhol each day and see what comes out, then think which would suit your daughter.Dont just notice the loud girls- look at the quieter ones girls too- there are some. All girls schools have more than average anerexia/bulemia problems.
  19. I went to see Ecstasy at the Hampstead theatre last week, a mIke Leigh play. It was pretty damn good.Limited run but the best thing Ive seen for a while- if you like Mike Leigh.
  20. ive always said i wanted a horse drawn glass carraige( it looks so beautiful) and MUM in white chrysanthamums- how much extra will this be then???
  21. i think this should be a teenage boy initiation type thing. sons goes to shed at bottom of garden with father/ uncles etc and start the butchering.
  22. this is so true. i am guessing when you were on maternity leave you cut off from the office completely so now you have a year of office politics/technical changes to catch up with too. try and talk to HR if you have one and your line manager. try and arange to have a"buddy" at work for at least a few months you can turn to for all those silly little things that make you lose your confidence. this is a difficult period and you simply cant afford to panic in to leaving when you have not given it a chance- there are so few jobs out there this is your best chance to try and negotiate what suits you best. some companies just do not realise what you need and if you just ask , if they appreciate you they will come some way to help you. try and go out with work colleagues occasionally to " catch up" . Good luck.
  23. i thought the marina coil was the way forwardon this? i heard if you have it fittedpre menopause you you sail through it. any heard the same?
  24. my little shop is often cheaper than siansburys/tesco for special offer packs of cookies/frozen prepared meals that are branded.( ok mccains frozen chips if you are asking).
