Hello ED'ites,


Just a note to say that I'm a local journalist, published in Grazia, Marie Claire, Red, The Guardian, Times Style, and more, and my debut novel ??Bondi Blonde ? has just been published as an e-book (?1.59 on Amazon). Exciting!


I know there are a few book clubs in the area and I just wanted say that if any of you chose to review the book I'd LOVE to hear what you think, share the journey of the book with you...I've been signed to Curtis Brown with it and Holly Valance has read it and given me a quote for the cover...etc.


I love my 'hood' and all the creatives that make it the postcode T.D.F ;-)


You can read what the press has to say about it, and contact me, at www.lucillehowe.com, read more about me at www.curtisbrown.co.uk/lucille-howe and the book is here:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bondi-Blonde-ebook/dp/B0080XQVMU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1340374250&sr=8-1


That's all! Happy holiday reading, whatever candy you choose for your Kindle this summer xxx

I think it's just usual EDF sniffy banter Jumpingbean. The world is full of armchair cynics, many of whom won't bother their arses to do anything. Completing a book takes a great deal of time, hard work, motivation and discipline - whatever anyone says and whatever anyone thinks of the content it's a huge achievement so well done (and good luck).

Mr Ben,


What a delightful chap you are! Thank you so much for waving your virtual pom poms for me. I just wanted to spread some positivity in the community and offer to share my experiences...maybe inspire some of those cynics out of their armchairs. Lovely meeting you on here and thank you again for taking the time to write.


Best wishes,

Im not going to get on your case, and im sure its a great book given your background and the cover really is a delight, but if you come along for a bit of self PR then ask for nothing critical in return, then you may find things dont go according to plan. Good luck.
The critisism wasn't aimed at my book but the way my post was written. Not just PR'ing but offering to share my experiences and knowledge at no cost. The book is only ?1.59. Believe me, there are quicker ways to earn that than spending time communicating on this forum! Pls see note about negativity. I'd like to keep this thread as a conversation between those interested. Enjoy you weekend. Lucille x
I did interview her, yes. She's an inspiration...a real self-starter who made all her success happen for herself. She pitched her TV show to the BBC, and her book to the publishers, without any fancy agent or publicist. Glamorous, talented and ambitious. Go the Khoo!

    • I can't answer your question. But on them generally: it's changed hands in the last year or so, I think. I paid £35 for interior and exterior and they did a crap job. I'll go to the one on Herne Hill (or just do it myself if health allows) next time.
    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
