Several times I have wandered round my house chatting on my mobile to a friend while simultaneously frantically looking for my mobile, once going so far as to explain to the friend I was talking to that I couldn't find my mobile. She was kind enough to point out that in order to be speaking to her it was presumably held to my face.


frequently try to swipe barclaycard at oyster points, but assume (or hope) that most people do that sometimes.


once handed over a tampax to a shopkeeper instead of a fiver when I was buying cigarettes.

Blimey, I have nothing to worry about then...you pregnant?;-)

Ah - now I'm an expert on this;


- Dialling '9' to get an outside line on our home phone

- Using my work's ID card for the tube/bus (and my Oyster card to get into work)

- Also on my first night at my boyfriend (now husband)'s house I mistook Dettol for mouthwash. That one took a long time to overcome!!!


I haven't managed to leave our baby on the car roof yet (ala National Lampoon vacation) but that's probably as I cannot reach the roof of our car.


Health visitor, anyone?

    • Hi Sue, they were not local solicitors. Andrea’s was based in Wales and the other firms involved were large nationwide conveyancing companies (rather than conventional high street solicitors). I’m happy to advise clients and buyers privately on what I believe to be their shortcomings but I don’t think doing so in public on the forum would be appropriate, particularly as they are not locally based. My general advice would always be to steer clear of the big conveyancing companies as they are, in my experience, notoriously difficult to contact when the need arises and the case handler is often not a fully qualified solicitor and so issues have to be referred upwards to “technical teams” internally, which was part of the problem in Andrea’s chain.

    • A slightly vulnerable but hopeful post… Hi everyone, I’m a guy in my mid-thirties who’s recently moved back to London and East Dulwich (I previously lived here for many years before, so I know the area well). But if I’m honest, I’ve found the return a little tough. Most of my close friends have moved out of London to start families — totally understandable — but it’s left me feeling a bit adrift and not quite sure how to make new connections again. Work has taken up a huge chunk of my life in recent years, and I’ve definitely let hobbies, interests and a proper social life fall by the wayside. I feel like I went from a fun social life in my 20’s to suddenly blinking and realising things had gone a bit er…quiet. So, I’m trying to redress the balance a bit — mainly so myself and my partner don’t murder each other 😂, and just to meet some new local faces. I was wondering: is anyone else in a similar boat? And would there be any interest in starting a relaxed, low-key local social group? Could be a casual pub meet, sports, park hangouts, live comedy nights — open to ideas!  I’m happy to do the organising/admin side of things — just wanted to put it out there and see if there’s any appetite. I’ll gauge interest and take it from there.  If you’d prefer not to reply publicly, feel free to drop me a DM.  Cheers all! 👋

    • They are people.  That's how people often behave.
