Thanks SR looks perfect.

Thanks everyone

It should say on the letter...

1,000 metres

Ha red jam, you made me chuckle. Firm footing, your workshops sound great, however I think my son is thinking more dance central songs ie Eric b and Rakim, Stevie Wonder, sister sledge and on a continuum, he just keeps going. Guess we need to have a party, we can just celebrate Spring.....

Thanks, Renata, Just to remind parents you have to produce a child benefit letter which can take up to two weeks to arrive. Some schools only provide 3 dates when you can produce the id, and the timings can be tight between receiving the letter and the dates that you have to produce them.

He loves having a dance with me, may as well make the most of it whilst he's still keen....

Of course you do need to go to the school with child benefit letter, birth certificate so I guess this is a form of acceptance. If you don't I'm not sure that the place is held.

Thank you for your speedy reply

How do you accept a school place offered and when is the deadline?

Do you have a relationship with your neighbour? Sounds like they are literally next door or above/below you? If you don't have that kind of relationship Then she is likely to be guarded and not discuss and to ask questions would come across as prying if you were to engage with her now. Also if you followed it up with a call of concern to the NSPCC she would No doubt suspect it was you. If this is the case, then perhaps it's best to get in touch with them. 2 hours is a long time for the child or mother to be screaming/crying. It doesn't sound good. I lived below a similar situation, it was a borderline situation, but I felt uncomfortable with what I heard. I was very unwell and vulnerable at the time, and did nothing, I regret that..

Posted by Renata, try getting in touch with her as hopefully there will be more Please also note that our school admissions officers will be holding a drop in admission surgery for families that want to meet to discuss their secondary admission options face to face. The surgery will take place at Cambridge House on a first come, first served basis on 2 March 2018. Families can also find further information on waiting lists, appeals and a list of frequently asked questions on Southwark Council?s website at: www.southwark.gov.uk/schools-and-education/school-admissions/secondary-admissions/offer-of-a-secondary-school-place

I don't think it's as clar cut as you say. Of course it would be wise for the cyclist to hold back if driver is indicating to turn left. However, logistically if the driver had been indicating for 'quite some time' one can presume that they were going along slowly in traffic, so much so that the cyclist was going at a greater speed filtering through the traffic, so the driver I'd presume would be expected to give way to the cyclist before turning left.... Regardless of this it makes sense to be extra cautious as a cyclist, and to give way to a motorist indicating left, you are clearly more vulnerable, but it doesn't make it right to do so in all instances, particularly if the driver was virtually at a standstill before turning left. Im not creating a them and us situation, I cycle and drive, clarification on the right of way might make the roads safer for all users. Its not particularly clear as according to the Highway Code 'Use your mirrors and give a left-turn signal well before you turn left. Do not overtake just before you turn left and watch out for traffic coming up on your left before you make the turn, especially if driving a large vehicle. Cyclists, motorcyclists and other road users in particular may be hidden from your view' Most cyclists ride kerbside, so inevitably they undertake slow moving traffic all the time, according to the Highway Code, cars can only undertake if the right hand lane is stationary. I think it's a grey area and not cut and dried. What I would like is for drivers who don't cycle to be more aware of the dangers cyclists face and drive accordingly. It would not have been a close shave if the driver was using their mirrors, unless the cyclist had literally just entered the road at great speed and undertaken, as soon as they had entered it. If they hadn't the driver should have been aware of them before turning as they would have overtaken them beforehand. It's a shame that using a sat nav was introduced into the driving test, it Would be great if there was more emphasis on the rules for cyclists. I'd be interested to hear if this is the case, ie. How much room to leave when overtaking a cyclists,( 1 metre) 9 out of 10 times this is not applied. So often cars are Stopping inside the cycle box at traffic lights..etc etc etc... I'm not writing to argue, I just want to share some of the hazards cyclists face In The hope that drivers will apply them. Safety is the main reason that people Chose not to cycle, and that's a real shame.

Yes that's right, I'm aware of that, as a cyclist I would have been aware of cars turning left , however, as a cyclist if you take a lane motorists can get really irate, they seem to think that cyclists should never be there, yet it is the safest position, provided motorists overtake leaving a metre gap between them and the cyclist. If the poster undertook the cyclist, and nearly hit them, either the cyclist was going at some speed in which case the driver should have been aware of them before turning left. If they were indicating for some time, it suggests that there was slow moving traffic! And the driver should ensure there are is no upcoming traffic. If the cyclist was hit, I'm pretty sure the driver would have been at fault. Drivers don't seem to use their left wing mirror...

My understanding is that if a cyclist is allowing the traffic to flow by cycling on the left hand side of the lane, rather than occupying the centre of the lane, that cars are expected to wait for them to pass before turning left...unless they are way ahead of course, in which case there would be no chance of collision. Aren't motorists supposed to be looking out for cyclists turning left mirror, signal, manoeuvre?...... > > red 2 wheels. > > You can even try it for free: www.geton.co.uk > > "The Get On ride gives you the opportunity to > experience riding a motorbike or scooter without > committing to the costs of training.

Do your children play games that are fun, exciting, engaging that does NOT involve killing.. I'm aware of minecraft, but hoping that's not the only fane worth mentioning.. PLEEEESE let me know.......

What I'd say is research Montessori teaching, and see if what they do complies (as best it can given the space) with the Montessori Method. Sit in on a session if possible and observe. Check all areas ie bathroom and kitchen properly ask lots of questions. Ie what are their aims, what do they want your child to attain from their experience there and see if it corresponds with your child's needs and what you see is best for your child. If it ticks your important boxes go for it, it it doesn't look elsewhere. If it ticks your important boxes but doesn't sit right and you can't put your finger on it. Trust your instincts...... i only ever regret things when i Ignore my instincts....they are often right, and in the very rare occasion that they are not, it has never mattered enough.

It's sad that people feel so threatened by teenagers these days. Most are not likely to front you (in my experience). I saw a young boy being hassled for his bike by a masked teenager,,, I couldn't walk by so crossed the road telling him off, by the time I got there he had run off. The victim recognised his attacker as his neighbour! I doubt that kids can be bullied more if interrupted by a stranger. Maybe bullies pay more respect to a woman of a certain age, (myself included) who in turn is much more likely to intervene with a sense of security that no one would ignore an older woman being attacked by a child......would they???

What age is too old to change careers?...... We are retiring later, true, but I believe there is an issue with insurance if employers hire an older person. Isn't that the reason why employment ageism happens?

66 days is considered to be the time necessary to truly see the benefits of not drinking, it's likely that after that time you will no longer feel the need for it as the benefits will far outweigh the urge. Good luck!
