Recession has definitely fallen upon The Lane. Witness a conversation amongst a group of yummy mummies in the park today. Discussion topic: children's party. Budget - only ?200. Tough trade-offs to be made. Would Cava be acceptable instead of champagne? Cup cakes or fairy cakes? To have a bouncy castle or not? Wait - Henrietta's mother might be able to do face painting instead. Life is getting harder in ED make no mistake. We should probably start a collection to ensure that the kids of JAGS and Alleyns get the parties they deserve. To contribute, please PM me and if I see them again I will pass the cash on.

The problem is not those that are already afloat, but for those of us that are all ready close to sinking - we drown!


But it's funny how even those that are not really suffering, seem to find such trivia to fret over.


We need more 'wake up calls' in our lives to find perspective?


Thx.

That's a butterfly cake, not a fairy cake.

Hmmm...


Is this one of your famous euphemisms DJ, I mean whatever next, your famous "lady cake" painting ?



Nette::o

PSML......oh my Annette......I'm trying very hard not to picture that scene, but not trying hard enough to be successful ;) (we once had a bakewell tart on the half time menu care of one Dita-on-tees)


Yes Frankito I do bake cupcakes - made some rum and raisin ones today - very scrummy with a splash of whipped cream I might add :D

    • Dog kennel isn't a great name for a school. I agree that it's ridiculous for the name to put anyone off going there, but don't see any issue with them rebranding if the parents and children prefer a new name. The school is surrounded by historical 'groves' (reflected in the names of Camberwell Grove, Grove park and Grove Vale for example), so it's not a totally random name. 
    • It might help if there are body cams to record evidence and a presence maybe a deterrent but I very much doubt a park warden would intervene with obnoxious and violent thugs - children or not. We need police for that.  
    • I had a leaky toilet cistern and Niko came out the same day and not only fixed the leak but thoroughly cleaned off the years of calcium build-up. His attention to detail was matched by his kind humanity. The result was a completely renovated toilet which has never worked more efficiently as well as 'service with a smile'. MANY THANKS NIKO!!!  
    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA!
