Well, the mortgage is paid off **wait for appropriate cheers to die away** and it is time to overcommit financially again. And stuff, quite a bit of stuff, has piled up. Requiring, yes, more space. The thought of moving house terrifies me. So what about a loft conversion?


Can't say that skulking about on the estate has identified many houses put through that process; one, which overlooks the amenity land between ginnel and railway line, up in the seventies on Abbotswood Road; perhaps folks choose instead to move away, to "trade up". But between stamp duty and inconvenience... maybe adding a bedroom and an en-suite is the way to go.


Anyone applied and failed (overlooking neighbours' gardens as opposed to "amenity land" -- a euphemism for "waste ground")? Anyone considering the same palaver? Grateful for thoughts / recommendations.

    • There can be different vaccine versions for different age groups. Two weeks after having my two from DL at TJHC I have today a text from TJGP to say free flu vaccine is available for me  at the practice, and asking me to book online (where next appointment offered shows as 13 November). Years ago, when the two practices were still in Melbourne Grove, the GP practice was similarly not aware that I'd already had my flu vaccine at DL.  This time I can see my 9 October Covid one in my NHS online GP Acute Medicines records, and then, at the end of the entries: "Unknown Date "Influenza vaccine (surface antigen, inactivated) suspension for injection 0.5ml pre-filled syringes ..." I'm wondering if this date error is happening to others getting dual vaccinations from the TJ DL, or any other DL branches.  And whether it's turning up in the patient records of any other GP practice.
    • What kind of witch hunt is this? mandatory facial recognition? prison for shoplifters? Shops can protect their stock as they wish. but they choose profits first.  The obvious solution would be delivery only - and when you can get your shopping in 15minutes, who really needs to go to the shop? but no, the shops like the sales from people browsing and being hungry when they shop. They don't lay the shops out for our enjoyment. They don't actually care that much. If they did, there would be active and empowered security, lower stock on shelves, more security tags etc... don't be fooled. If you're going to go after shoplifters, go after the organised crime, theft to order etc
