Have some Hope & Greenwood Easter eggs that I'd bought for my nieces and I've now been blown out.


Rather than let them go to waste, I thought I'd give them to the children's ward at the hospital and, while I know it's not that far away, I am quite lazy, so wondered if anyone else was heading in that direction and would consider taking them?


Know this should really be in the Wanted section but figured people would see it quicker here, and as time is of the essence...

Gosh. Well, that's one way of looking at it.


As distinct from - for example - just chucking unwanted stuff in the bin?


I'd agree there's a scale of things, let's say


- 1) funding new wing of King's

- 2) buying ?100/worth of eggs - especially if it's a brand you really, really like yourself, for extra sacrifice points - and walking them through the snow to King's. From Edinburgh.

- 3) pausing for a minute to think - hey, I don't want these rather nice eggs, but I wonder whether some kids might.

- 4) just chucking unwanted stuff in the bin.


I'd say normal selfish human behaviour is more 4) and RosieH did a nice thing. Living in a glass house, as I do, I prefer not to throw stones at others. You?

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
