Looking out the window right one might think it could be summer out there.. the sun is shining and the birds are flying around the dome..


It has made me excited for summer!! Did we talk about having a summer bbq / picnic (SM I know you have been scorned by the picnic organising before)? Cant wait to do another pub crawl in the sun and heat with my flip flops on (or thongs as they are called where I am from).. >:D< :)-D


What are your plans for summer? Any hols planned? In all of this bleakness lets focus on something fab.. I have no passport due the home office STILL having it 3 months down the line so not sure where we will go but I am hoping to get to Greece & Australia (possibly)..


:)):)):)):))

I am hoping for a trip to Australia. However I have based this on very tenuous info.


An Australian friend of mine who lives in Sydney just asked me for my address. I know he and his good lady got engaged a couple of months ago, so I am hoping that he wants my address to send me a wedding invitation.


If this is not the case and he wants my address to send me baby photos I will be very disappointed, cross him off the Christmas card list, and have to go somewhere very exotic instead.*

Careful, Rosie.

They're Australian.

Before you know it, there's a knock on your door, the backpacks are blocking the hallway and they're sleeping on your lounge floor for six weeks - gratis.

I'm a very very lucky girl and have only just returned from an extended stay on the West Coast (LA / Santa Barbara / Carmel / San Francisco). It's winter there. Basically, what this means is that sometimes you need to put a sweater on over your T-shirt. They think it's cold. They need to come to ED to find out about cold. Bless.


I was gone so long that I desperately started to miss ED. I wanted a monty minor and a decent brand of gin. The first day back I skipped down Lordship Lane like a two year old. Then I ran home and put on a warm vest.


I'm looking for somewhere warm(ish) to go March/April. I'm avoiding anywhere that has the Euro. Dubai sounds good - I'll be watching this thread for holiday ideas.

Funnily enough I was talking about this earlier, I lived in Spain for 2006 and went travelling in 2005 and with the quidlets still being under 20p I'm still not bothered about 'hot abroad' (miss skiing though). So a nice warm english summer in my back garden with and EDF recommended book and my kids/missus ferrying out Stellas sounds bliss...

Bloody Hell it was cold today! Did I spot a flurry of snow down High Holborn? Its MONTHS until my caravan holiday to Weymouth.


I tried to get myself in the Med-mood by having tapas for lunch, but the way the wind whistled under the door caused the tortilla slice to go cold and rubbery.


Will this grey weather and appaling economic news EVER end? I fear not.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
