Hello, just wanted to recommend Gill's 11+ prep course that she runs during the October half term. If the format is the same as when my daughter did it, the course runs Monday to Thursday, with a set of practice tests on the Monday under exam conditions; then Tues and Wed are spent going over the papers and revising topics as needed. She's a very experienced and calm teacher, and she talks through things like time management and the importance of identifying and tackling the high value questions, stuff like that. On the Thursday they do another set of mock tests. At the end, Gill gives the parent a breakdown of the child's scores for both the Monday and the Thursday tests, and you should see that there's been an improvement. She'll also tell you which areas the child should focus on during the remaining time before January. My child did the course and found it very helpful, and came away feeling very calm and prepared. I've recommended Gill to many friends in ED: she's been tutoring and doing 11+ prep for a long time and she really knows what she's doing. Good luck!

    • Looking for a battery operated cat feeder please.
    • Half my family are medics, going back generations, and none of them would ever have gone, or would now go, on strike. I know times have changed, but my family knew what they were signing up for, and accepted the detriment to their families and the hours (which, in the junior years, were way longer when they are now)... because it was not only a vocation, but a stable career for life. And they felt a genuine duty of care to their patients, whom they often put before their own children.  I can only conclude that entry-level junior doctors are more entitled these days. Plus, it's insensitive to nurses, who really do deserve a lot more money and recognition.  There are issues other than pay, like the lack of available posts, and having to move around the country, but they can be improved without a strike.  I don't think the right people are being recruited into the profession anymore. We're all on lower wages and paying more tax than we were ten years ago, but many of us just have to suck it up, work our socks off and get on with it.   
    • Beglfire I start, I have a lot of respect for Doctors and owe my life to them after various mishaps over the years.  I am however getting a jaded view of them continuing to run the strike ballot next week in the middle of what is turning into a bad winter for the NHS. Of course they may vote to not strike, but personally feel it is irresponsible timing to consider it as hospitals are already struggling.  Today the BMA warned of scaremongering over the current flu outbreak (BBC News - BMA warns of flu 'scaremongering' ahead of doctor strikes - BBC News https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5y22yzl6y6o) but just seeing how many people I know are going down with it, that feels like poor spin by the BMA. How do others feel ?   
    • We have also used Niko the plumber, he was great, fixed both of our leaking toilets and was also super helpful with advice about the shower leaking.
