Dear Clare,


Yes it was me! My voice was breath taking don't you think? I like to consider myself to sound like a cross between Edith Piaf and Maria Callas.


I couldn't find a thing to wear that was appropriate - Fr O'Connor said I should dress modestly - so I was looking for something from last years Prada investment pieces in my wardrobe - this years metalic linnen is just a little too eye catching - don't you think?. In the end I found a Joseph chocolate brown shift dress at the back of the wardrobe - but you could see my hair shirt sticking out above my low cut neck line. I hope no-one was offended.


I found your empassioned plea to 'free Barnabus' particularly moving!

Have a happy easter DM. You deverve it for hitting all those high notes! I was exhausted and parched after Oh sacred head ill used (great lyrics though). Mum and I had to go home for a small glass of sherry. (walked past Dr Boo on way home, Mum sighs "Oh what drab dresses")


Off to France this morning. Everyone asleep still. Peace at last....

Au revoir!

Dear Clare,


I so envy you! Be sure to stock up on Aubade underwear and Decleor, and don't forget to bring your own soft toilet paper (Nouvelle Recycled of course - I got the tip on here actually, a complete revelation!) - that country is barbaric when it comes to facilities.


Mother Superior,

Dear Mr Huguenot,


Please tell sweet Bumbalina that the only time to buy the cleansing milk and toner is in the January sales when Peter Jones and John Lewis counters sell 400 ml bottles for the same price as 250 ml bottles. 3 should last a year! Otherwise a trip to France is a must.


Bumbalina is right to go crazy about it, it really Decleor is fab!

Glad to see that I am not the only one that appreciates Decleor. I do absolutely LOVE the stuff. I became a convert when staying in an obscure (and fairly soulless) hotel in Leistershire for work. To kill time, I decided to pamper myself in the uninspired onsite spa. Imaine my surprise when I was introduced to this fabulous product. I bought it all - Creams, Gels and Oils. I AM addicted.


Thanks for the hint. Unfortunately, I will not be able to take advantage of this great deal as I'm being whisked off to sunny Singapore by Huguenot after our honeymoon this summer. I plan to dedicate a good portion of my time sourcing this fantastic product there.

Wow Bumbalina!


I didn't realise you were about to be married. How wonderful!


What a wonderful location for a honeymoon too! Tell Huguenot to watch out in Singapore, James has told me a dreadful story about a work colleague and a chick boy in that exact location!


Have you ever read Martha Stewart Weddings magazine? It is just fab. I have just passed the current issue on to a friend - otherwise I would scan you in a few pages and mail them to you.


Promise me you will try to take a look at it before the big day? They sell it in Victoria in WH Smith.

Ah, thanks DM! You'd love the venue too, it's La Preghiera in Umbria.


We thought about Tuscany, but it's so, you know, last year. ;-)


The honeymoon's in South Africa - we're going on Safari and then for a few glamour days on the Cape.


Singapore's going to be home. The attraction of the lady boys was incredibly strong!

Darling Bumbalina,


Huguenot is clearly quite the catch!


Perhaps I should arrange to meet up with you in the manner of an older sister, in order to inform you all about men and their 'urges' - I would hate you to be sensitised so far from home. They really can be filthy beasts - if you get a good one!


James' aunt Shiela lent me a book when we were engaged (just for a laugh) it was published in the 1920's and called something like "The hygiene of married life". It advised all grooms to bring their bride somewhere with a great view for the honeymoon - "in order to take the poor girls mind off nocturnal persuits!"

Hi there Mr Mockney,


Is that Rugby or Cricket? Do you know, last week when Ireland won the cricket - I thought that James was just making fun of me!


I hope you are having a good day, happy Easter Mr Mockney Piers. All is well in South East London, our Lenten fasting is no more.

Dear D-Mum,


I haven't forgotten anyone. You know I am usually away most of the year and occasionally return to London.

But you are such a "seducing" charmer and I am delighted to read that you are still in superb conditions despite the "Easter" temptations :)).

Please indulge yourself....

Mr Batdog - this really is too bad of you! You flit back and send DM into all of pother, when you know that you will be disappearing again, leaving her bereft and calling out to you in the wilderness.


Its those of us that remain that have to hand out the hankies and apply the smelling salts

Dear Mr Mikewbate!


You are so warm and sensitive!


Do pass the tissues (sniff), Mr Batdog has (as I said before) "abandoned me like an old shoe", and treated my affections for him like a mere trifle (Birds).


Abandoned again, I could turn to you for affection - if you would just end your subscription to Razzle...


DM

Dear D-Mum,


In my remote caribbean retreat I do not have modern technology and I am not intended to have it ( I respect the environment and I am not intended to spoil the beauty of the surroundings ). But there is always a place for you, and you know you are always welcome for as long as you want...;-)

    • Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.
    • Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.      
    • Hi all Does anyone know someone who can make a window seat cushion and cover? See image of window seat. Thank you.
    • Don't know why but it seems like there have been impromptu fireworks since early September. At one point I even wondered if there was a shooting range or something like that over Dulwich Hamlet way- the direction where the firework sounds seem to be coming from? Is there some kind of new, fireworks craze going on and where are people getting them, out of season?
