  1. Sounds amazing. What are the temperatures? It's beem pretty nippy over here lately! Glad you're enjoying your trip.
  2. Congratulations both. Did you both become fathers again on the same day? I can't think of a nicer way to celebrate Christmas than with a lovely new baby.
  3. 4. Knave? 8. Hymn books?
  4. Congratulations Phillyboy, just goes to show that all the plans can go wrong. Hope your other half and new baby are doing well.
  5. Nearest Jack Wills is in Covent Garden. It is quality stuff but very expensive. Panties are ?12 each, I bought some for my daughter last Christmas; can honestly say I've never spent ?12 ona pair of knickers for myself. But it is popular woth teenagers.
  6. My daughter has has been to a few. Very strictly managed and very safe. She usually gets picked up by a friend's parent and stays over. As long as you've got suitable pick-up arrangements, she'll be fine.
  7. Try Accessorize, very popular with girls of that age and plenty within that budget.
  8. H&M ? Also M&S are pretty good for that age group. Although the 'bomber' style jacket is more in fashion this season.
  9. The whole show was great. Feel a bit sorry for Ali, she didn't deserve to go but can't help but be pleased for Chris Hollins.
  10. Chris and Ola are in the final!!
  11. Haywards Heath Tooting Harrow Kingston Abu Dhabi Boston (USA) Crystal Palace E Dulwich x 3
  12. 44. Village Way
  13. 44. Burbage Road? 57. Tower Bridge? Thanks for your efforts on this thread Comptered. I'm a little confused about the other lists. Could you post an example?
  14. I always thought Wendy Savage was an Obstetrician?
  15. That can be arranged! SW, there is a lot of conflict in our house between my husband and daughter. I find myself constantly in the middle. I think perhaps men have little concept of the mindset of teenage girls having never been one themselves. Would be interested to know if others have had this experience?
  16. 34. Oakhurst Grove?
  17. 18. Landcroft Road? 19. Friern Road?
  18. I hope so Clazza, I hope so.
  19. Sillywoman I have the exact same problem, my daughter goes for the 'scatter effect'. My attempts to tidy up are futile as the room reverts to norm almost instantly I can only hope like you that she will change in time. On a brighter note her standard of personal hygiene is high and she likes clean laundry; she just had no qualms about dirty laundry lying all around!
  20. I can reiterate Sillywoman's post wholeheartedly. I have lovely memories of my own children's nativities for sure; but can remember the 'evening performances' as a child . The pure magic of stage, lights , costume , audience and last but not least , make-up! Going to school in the dark was fun. Are we all too PC these days to admit that a late night for a special occasion wasn't ruinous to a child's education? Nappy Lady and others, enjoy your children's plays. It certainly makes all the sacrifice we mums make worth it. Loveley thread Molly
  21. Well said bonce. As far as I'm aware maternity units across the whole of London have seen increased birth rates. They all can but do their best to cope. And on the whole they probably cope very well, but it's not a perfect world and maternity units in London have probably always been busy enough.
  22. Malcol, The percentages quoted are for what's called Level 4 in the National Curriculum. In other words what is considered to be an appropriate level for children of that age, and that the school has 'succeeded' by achieving a high percentage. A child may be functioning below that level but could have special needs; these percentages are also reported but difficult to interpret as a parent who, generally speaking, wouldn't know what ' special needs' really means. So therefore the tables are hard to interpret. Primary school children can also achieve Level 5, which suggests that their numeracy and literacy are above average and as we all know , not all children are average. The Tables also like to include a 'value added ' score which I think attempts to include a background view of the intake. As far as I'm aware the percentage of children eligable for free school meals is one of them. In other words , don't compare Dulwich Village Infants to say, Crawford in Camberwell; the intake is bound to be different. It's a mine field. I'm sure other forumites can shed more light! If you're the parent of a young child you've come to right place, many here will give their support.
  23. 18. Myatt's field?
  24. 8 Or perhaps The Dun Cow Surgery?
