My husband is still in Birmingham, and not leaving anytime soon. I'm multiply gutted because a) miss night out b) have night in on own (would sound good but see later points) c) did ocado shop but crucially forgot to confirm so all the shopping i was expecting in the last hour - including my dinner - not here and d) thought to console self for a) and b) I would watch cheesy romcom on Sky box office, only to find there is some impossibly annoying fault with Sky cable or something and can't book/record/watch anything for some reason. Argh! Woe is me. Also just had embarassing chat with Sky wherein it was obvious I know nothing about Sky, phonelines, cables or anything useful other than the name of the film I wanted to watch. I was also somewhat the wrong side of a double gin and tonic.


Edited to say sorry for whingeing and hope a good night is had!

Likewise - came home from work to find little one with a very high fever. Under control now and sleeping soundly. Hope it lasts - maybe I can at least get a decent night of sleep even if I did miss all the fun.


Try again next time!

Thanks again for taking the initiative to organise, Ruth.

Lovely to meet all of you and see those of you who I already knew! I was lucky enough to come home to a sleeping baby, who had been given his last feed and changed. Lovely!

Sorry to hear about your evening, Belle :( Those of you with sickly babes, hope they're feeling a bit better today.

I went to bed at 12 and my eldest came in at 4am to say she'd been sick in bed (caught bug going around school). Eugh, not what you need to deal with on 4 hours sleep and half a bottle of red wine!


Poor girl, she was very brave about it though.

    • Missing Cat! 11 months old/ Our friend, Coco, has gone missing. Last seen evening of 31st October near top of Henslowe rd where it meets Underhill Rd in SE22. We know she has started wandering up Friern Rd and further we guess but we imagine she has been spooked by Halloween / Fireworks goings on. She is a grey Siberian mix with some brown stripes down her, very friendly and likes to eat. Please let us know
    • That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring
    • The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.
    • Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end!
