Off to hospital this afternoon to see a friend's child who's been taken in with suspected appendicitis. Haven't time to get to a bookshop, obviously sweets not appropriate; I'm a bit out of touch with these things, could anyone suggest magazines (preferably stocked by DKH Sainsbury's as passing it on the way) that would be a hit with a bright, literate six-year-old girl? Any tips gratefully received!


Thanks,


Rendel

So far as I know you can only get it on subscription, not in shops?


I agree it's a great magazine for kids.


Rendel, you could ask the girl's parent/s for suggestions? Otherwise you could duplicate something she has already been given?

Agree. Whenever I have to buy a sprog a present I always ask their parents first, they usually know what their children like...

I think it's being sold up in the dulwich picture gallery shop at the moment.

Yes quite right, usually would, but they're so traumatised at the moment - taking it in turns to sleep by her bed for the last week (it's been a bit more complex than originally thought) that they haven't much time to think of treats! Thanks again for all the kind suggestions, much appreciated.

    • How on earth can someone like this be allowed to continue as a solicitor? Can't he just be struck off, or the equivalent?
    • There are no road works in front of Cod fellas and yesterday when I requested a stop there the driver went straight past and never stopped untill Avondale Riss. As cars have to stop because of the lights why can busses not do this? 1 minute Bloodly mindedness.

    • Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm
