Lovely folk of the EDF, after taking part in something similar myself, I have set up a Christmas surprise swap(see attached). Essentially, if you want to take part you will be paired up with a stranger and then send each other a Christmas surprise package - a box containing something personal (maybe a favourite recipe, a book you've read, a mixtape, something homemade), something inspirational (newspaper clipping, a photo or illustration that means something to you), and a little Christmas gift (spending guide for your box is ?10 - put as much free stuff (leaves, stickers, glitter, popcorn etc.) in as you like).


To take part, please PM or email me with your name and address no later than 5pm on Thursday 21st November so that I can pair you up with a mystery swapper. Your surprise box must be posted by Friday 6th December.


This is much more fun than receiving bills.

Hollie, I just have to say a big 'Thankyou' for organising this. My mysterious & beautifully wrapped present is sitting on the side (soon to be under the tree), and I get proper Christmas excitement every time I look at it. I think it's one of the best things about Christmas 2013 so far. When I go to the shops I find myself thinking 'it might be you' as I look at the other shoppers on the lane. It makes me smile just to think of it. It's just lovely community thing to do, and I particularly liked the way you advised we structure the box. Thankyou Hollie - and whoever sent me my box - and Merry Christmas :D

    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
    • I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.  
    • Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
