I thought they were legit too.


It was a young man who came to my house tonight - I didn't see any others.


However I object to being approached by chuggers in the street, let alone in my own home, and I particularly didn't welcome them knocking on my door after dark (8.30pm), even though he was perfectly polite.

If you want to give to Cancer Research, or any other charity for that matter, DO NOT SIGN UP WITH A CHUGGER. Instead, Google the charity of your choice, go to their home-page, and sign up directly with the charity. Why should chuggers cream a percentage off the top of your donations? Give direct. If you've already signed up then cancel that standing order and do a new one that goes direct.

I seem to be getting people from various charities several times a week and often when I've just got our baby to bed. It drives me mad and I find it really intrusive. I respond that I pay via the payroll which I do and it's far more beneficial to both the charity and to me to do it that way. I was furious on Sunday when they knocked at 2pm - surely if a family is every going to have Sunday lunch together it would be then.


In addition to this I've also had a guy selling cloths etc. this week..... Several friends have found the constant door knocking really intimidating particularly when it's in the evening and they're home alone. Is there any way we can stop it?

That sounds interesting. Was it expensive? Does it need a cable, or does it work remotely?

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
