...not looking rosy...


Since Friday, I've received 4 calls from friends who have phoned to tell me that, although they should have left at the weekend, they've no chance of departing till (at the very least) tomorrow night.


Still, better to be safe than sorry.

I'm feeling quite relieved at the moment that I didn't have enough holiday days to go up to Scotland early for Christmas. I have my fingers firmly crossed that the airports re-open for my Thursday flight... although am considering trying to pick up a turkey crown to stick in the freezer just in case...
I just checked the weather for the week as I too am dependent on it clearing to make it away for xmas. It looks as though there will be a slight thaw by Thursday, but whether that's enough to get everyone away in time I don't know.

Yep, I'm in a similar position: due to fly out to Singapore on Christmas Eve. But I'm not going to worry about it. I'd much rather be delayed than fly prematurely and...


Besides, I've got 100s of things to do before we leave LOL!

Huguenot, you need to lower your voice...I fear such kindness will be detrimental to your scary reputation.


That's exceedingly generous of you. We'd have loved to have attended. However, given that our plane isn't scheduled to land till 14.55 on Christmas Day itself, we might be more than a little zombified and therefore unfit for company having only just stepped off the plane. But I am touched: thank you.


It's funny, I've just been investigating the importation of pork pies into Singapore...you might just get lucky - provided you continue to be nice, of course.

Are the ALL odd?


(Sorry.)


(I'll get my coat.)

I am currently on a trip round Argentina with a group of 6 - we were supposed to be a group of 17 but the remainder couldn?t get out of UK in time to join the tour. They must all be gutted. Any way I am having a lovely time! Please can the snow be gone by Jan 4th!


PS Ladymuck some people on my tour are friend with your neighbours!

Have you managed to fit in any football matches!? Guess you weren't here when Arsenal lost to Man. U:)).


Glad you are having a wonderful time. Here's hoping you get back without too much drama. Unfortunately, there is little chance of the snow being gone by the 4th of January. T says, more likely the 4th of July!


We're itching to know which of our lovely neighbours you speak...(PM with details please). Enjoy the rest of your holiday and come back safely. xx


PS: if you bump into Lionel Messi, give him a big kiss and try and persuade to come to Man U (or failing that, Arsenal - if he must;-)).


PPS: T sends big kiss x.

    • 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.
