We just got a gardener in and got him to do planting suggestions (for free) and then he did all the planting and landscaping. The pure 'design' work was just a bunch of sketches based on stuff we liked the look of from pinterest. Unless you have acres of gardens and want to do something really high-end seems to me daft to pay a designer separately

I didnt like design



Did the designer not take a detailed brief from you as to exactly what your requirements were, and then discuss various options with you before s/he did the final design?


Bit poor if not :(

They did, yes. And I provided loads of photos of things I liked. I also gave an idea of budget and the design I got back was as if the ideas had never been given and the quote was twice my budget. I got the impression my job was too small and too much trouble.....

      If you are looking for a trustworthy professional, I highly recommend Niko. He has consistently delivered quality work. No job is too small, and he is always accommodating. He has helped me out on a number of occasions, often at short notice when unexpected issues arose. His number is 07818 607583.

      Anyone experiencing even greater issues securing a GP appointment with Tessa Jowell GP practice?

      Well, they do turn them away from the A&E route at Kings and rightly so they employ GPs and if after triaging you’re determined to have a GP type problem you are sent to see one of the GPs on site or close to the site.

      Bike stolen outside The Belham

      By JaneKinnin · Posted

      My bike (a ELOPS 120 step over classic from Decathlon) was stolen from outside The Belham this afternoon. I locked it up while I collected my kids, then the street was so busy that I left it there while I walked them home. Did a few other things at home, came back about 5.30pm and it was gone. Sharing just in case anyone sees it or finds it anywhere - it’s a few years old and the chain is a bit rusty/makes a clicking sound so maybe there’s a slight chance someone would dump it! Really annoying and just a reminder to be really careful with bikes. The picture shows the bike model from the Decathlon website.

      Thanks, I didn't know that.  People are even more stupid than I thought then, if they are willing to wait hours in A&E for an ingrown toenail. I presume they don't get put at the front of the queue. Why isn't the 111 service more widely advertised? That puts you in touch with a doctor, who will advise on the phone or visit, and if necessary  you will be advised to go to A&E or they will arrange an ambulance to take you.
