Hello


Massive apologies if this has been done to death already but I am at work and haven't time to search just yet. At 28 weeks my midwife mentioned I should book in for these jabs and have just called DMC who cannot see me until the 4th November. I will prob wait until then for the whooping cough (or try and call for a cancellation before) but think it would be wise to get the flu jab done before as I know it is easier to get, am I right in thinking pharmacies and supermarkets do it?


Come November I will prob be full of cough, cold and illness so don't really want to take the risk of having to cancel after my toddler brings home every single lurgy from nursery and I can't get them done!


Thanks in advance.

Wow Jenny I'm so surprised, I called DMC and got an appointment a week and a half later! Do they definitely know that you're seeing the nurse for these jabs? Sorry to ask what might seem a silly question. I'm afraid I'm not sure on where supplies the flu jab other than the doctor's surgery.

Yes I was a bit taken aback too! They def said it was booked with the nurse and that it was the next available appointment. I will keep trying to call for cancellation but because I work it's a bit tricky to sit on the phone for hours trying to get through :-)

I got mine at the doc the other day but I know the boots near me at work does it and Im pretty sure for pregnant people it is free, you just need to make an appt. They were charging ?12 for people who didnt fit in to a 'free category'.. hope that helps. x

      Christmas Cheese!

      Thank you, this really made me chuckle. It's like you met my brother as he would be the one taking more than his share. Plus the 'pikey' chutney is a winner. Unusual as in can't be identified??? Sadly I'm not the host otherwise I would definitely do that I regularly shop in the Cheese Block and am a fan. But as people have pointed out, there is no cheese shop that charges less based on bulk, so Aldi unusual cheeses may be what the familam receive! Yay, so I can get discounted mouse nibbled cheese still! Oooo, now I do love a Stinking Bishop. It actually offends my stepmum by it's stinkiness but luckily she is not one of the attendees at this particular gathering.  This is blooming genius. It's actually my partner who has the biggest issue with buying in plastic so I will have to hide the wrappers from him!

      I like the look of SD's Sweet and Sour chicken. It's a really good dish when made freshly and well. I'll need to try it. Sad that Oriental Star and Lucky House by Dulwich Library both closed at a similarish time. They were decent, reliable, "British Chinese" takeaways.

      William S Spicer was a family-owned firm that initially made horse drawn delivery carts for breweries (especially Fullers Brewery in W London) and horse-drawn trams. With the advent of the internal combustion engine, they successfully made the transition to coachbuilding delivery vehicles London's leading department stores using German engines. WW2 interrupted their business for obvious reasons, and their postwar attempt to become the local assembler and distributor of Bulgarian "Izmama" trucks was not blessed with good fortune. In 1953, the company pivoted to being a full-service garage, leveraging their reputation for honesty and excellence.  In 1972, the Dulwich site was sold to its present owners. William S Spicer III (the grandson of the founder) retired to Lancashire, where he founded a sanctuary for the endangered ineptia beetle, which he had encountered in Bulgaria while travelling for business. In 1978, Spicer was awarded an OBE for conservation, and a newly-discovered  beetle was named after him by the Bulgarian People's National Academy of Sciences - Byturus Spicerius.
