I think books are a great idea, some childrens classics or something that meant something to you when you were a child. Our youngest daughters Godmother got her a tree which I think is lovely, as long as the recipient isn't planning on moving house. The other daughters Godmother made a sampler picture of winnie the pooh and got her a hardback winnie the pooh book. I thought they were lovely presents and we will keep them forever.

Quite traditional, but my daughter received a charm bracelet from her godmother for her christening and still wears it now, a few years later. I also bought my goddaughter one (from Links), with an "N" charm (she was christened Naomi) for her christening, and have then bought her charms for some of her birthdays/ christmasses since.

Also, I do think books are a lovely idea. If there is a character in a book/ play that has the same name as the child being christened, I have bought the child a special edition of that book, which has been well received eg. Just William books for a William, and As You Like It for a Beatrice (I think. Sleep-deprived head might have got that play wrong). Just have to make sure the relevant character didn't come to a sticky end in the book!

My younger son was given a really lovely Noah's Ark for his recent christening by one of his godparents, which I thought was a really nice idea. My other son received some classic beautiful books of children's poetry and some crockery from the Bunnikins range amongst other things...oh and a really lovely ceramic piggy bank from Tiffany's, which while he can't 'play' with it is much nicer than a lot of money boxes you see, and he does like to put money in it.

I bought a star for my goddaughter and for 2 older children for their confirmation. They come in different priced packages so it needn't be too expensive. You get to name the star and recieve a certificate with the stars co-ordinates and a little map with the star marked on it. Its something different!

      Is the Choumert Road bus stop open yet following the ending of pavement works. Thanks

      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.

      Advice on dealing with a solicitor who will not use modern means of communication

      By malumbu · Posted

      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

      If you mean the one outside the church going towards Peckham, it still had the closed sign on it this morning, but as there are no road works there, I'm sure some of the drivers will stop there on request.  The stop outside the chippy coming from Peckham is closed as there are road works in front of it.  The 4 way traffic lights are in operation.., causing a lot of congestion.
