Sugar highs don't exist in the general population, apparently.

Thank you dulwich61 you are a star! Hope your dad is ok too! I will send out a reminder nearer the time, thank you again!

Hi what a lovely idea, would be happy to donate to your great cause. I will look out for your reminder post and arrange to pop them over.

Good luck with your great cause, its heartwarming to see how important it is to think of others over the festive period.

I'm sorry, I may have been a bit harsh on this post, about thinking of the children's teeth, it's not my responsibility it's their parents and guardians and at Christmas it's "pants" having to be in hospital away from family and friends and not to be able to join in the Christmas traditions. (I was one of those children, long time ago) A little comfort from the community for the little ones over Christmas goes a long way. I would be more than happy to donate to your cause Fox_tail. When and where to drop things off, please let us know. x

Ah ffs it Christmas. Seriously? I'll bet you don't only eat or drink things that are good for you at Christmas? Jesus man.

ooops sorry lavender, hadn't read your second post before my above post.

Sweets Sugar =


Bad teeth.. Cavaties


Hyperactivity.. Behavioral problems


Weight gain.. Obesity


Diabetes.. Serious health risks in later life..


Sugar is addictive and will result in an endless cycle of craving sugar. We call it a 'Sweet Tooth'

But it is a serious problem often caused by parents giving their kids sweets in early life.


DulwichFox

Overreacting to giving children in hospital sweets at Christmas =


Smugness.. Sanctimonious posturing


Friend loss.. unhappiness


Serious risk of Christmas alone in later life


As far as I understand it, they are not funnelling Quality Streets down kids throats to create Nutella Foie Gras. I am sure their parents will be around and maybe some doctors who might even sneak a segment of chocolate orange, do you know I once met a doctor who admitted to drinking ALCOHOL over the Christmas period. I of course informed the police and wrote to my MP.


So enjoy your Bah Humbug and M&S Christmas crackers for one. I'll certainly be donating now

Hiya, i will be in by 6:30 all this week, but if you cant make this week then its cool as i wont be going up there till mid December, But feel free to text or call to arrange!

I actually think you gave sweets to my daugther last Christmas in the Lion Ward! She absolutely loved them! A year later we are hoping she will be home for this Christmas and I just wanted to say little things like this make such a hard time more bareable!


:-)

Massive thank you to Laura, for the bag sweets and cards and colouring packs! Your a absolute legend!also I'm sorry if I don't reply to you guys straight away,it's purely because of work, so the best thing would be to chuck me a text or call... Have a wicked evening!!

Kids differ, if you want to keep my grand daughter awake just feed her a couple of squares of chocolate.

    • It looks as though there will be 10 of us!  We are going to Love Dulwich again for a lunch and will checkout their 'normal' menu - from what we remember from the last 2 times we went = there was plenty to satisfy every one and they were happy to take party bookings.- Hubby and I have worked out that if all our daughters, grandchildren and great grandchildren were  to come - there would be 20 of us!! As it is - the Essex  family branch live too far away to come over for an evening - so we will meet up in Essex at a later date.
    • Tend to use 37 or 42 bus as rarely been able to find parking space. Sods Law - there is sometimes a few spaces when I bus it.!
    • Just to warn anyone thinking of employing or engaging Chris and Anna Richmond, that nothing has changed.  The accounts above from others are all too familiar.  A job that we were told would take between 6-8 months is now entering its 23rd month.  They have taken enormous amounts of money from us, finished nothing, and the quality of the work that they have delivered is poor to substandard.  They take no responsibility themselves - there are endless excuses and everything is someone else's fault.  They do not care about the impact that their actions have on anyone else.   They are, at best, chaotic. They have not delivered as the designers or project managers that they claim to be. They are rarely on site to monitor the progress or quality of the job that is being delivered and they and manage their largely non-English speaking workforce by WhatsApp and Google translate.  There has been little evidence that they employ the skilled tradespeople needed to lay tiles, install bathrooms and kitchens, decorate and complete to the standard that we have paid for.  I cannot stress enough, that if you are currently in discussion with Anna and Chris Richmond about a future job or have paid them money up front for a job that they have slipped in delivering, to quit while you are ahead.  Things won't get better.
    • Hi All, I’d like to recommend Aaron Manser, who several others on this forum have also used. Aaron is an excellent plasterer, and has just finished a complicated piece of plastering work for me, including a large expanse of ceiling. His work has been of the highest quality, his attention to detail is exceptional, and he’s also very quick, and tidy too. As an added bonus he has a lovely singing voice. Happy to provide any photos of the work he has done. This is the third time over the past few years I’ve had Aaron back. Aaron Manser - 07773 410661 Regards, Damien
