What about the dogs??!! I have a small child and except that they might be woken for a few nights a year, I'm also looking forward to them getting excited about them in a few years to come. What does bother me is the distress it causes to the dogs. If you know it is going to be once or twice a year on a certain night then you can plan accordingly and make sure you are in with them to comfort them but when they go on for 1/2 weeks either side of the 5th there is nothing you can really do than except your dog will be in a mild state of distress for a couple of weeks. It is this that I feel is a bigger problem than a few babies being woken. I also agree that a lot of you on here are far too keen to belittle and insult people at the slightest chance. If I had paid a little more to this forum before I moved here, I probably wouldn't have! I'm just so glad this forum is not what ED is actually like and the sad and bitter people who hide behind their computers to jump on the next passing band wagon make up such a small percentage of the people who make ED the wonderful place it is!

I have just moved to East Dulwich from Balham, where Postmark has it's other shop. It is a lovely little shop that won an award ths year at the national greeting card awards! ( No, I didn't know they existed either!! ) Not sure what the queues are like at the post office on Lordship lane but if they are anything like they were in Balham, you'll love Postmark's in house posting service. They'll send letters and small parcels worldwide for no charge. I wish them luck in ED and am glad they have decided to follow me, I didn't realise I was that good a customer!
